Located on the Pacific coast of southern Guanacaste, Costa Rica, 1.5 - 2 hour drive from Liberia International Airport and just 5 minutes walk from two of Costa Rica's most pristine and safe beaches, Playa Samara and Playa Carrillo.
This Montelaguna Residence offers 2 large bedrooms with ceiling fans and air conditioning, the master with an ensuite bathroom and the guest room with an adjacent bathroom. Enjoy creating meals in this modern and fully equipped kitchen. The dining room and living room open to a large terrace overlooking the lagoon and the pool, perfect for dining under the stars.
This modern condo offers WiFi, satellite TV, private parking with a security guard 24 hrs a day and weekly cleaning service.
Playa Samara offers many activities including bicycling, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing and yoga. The white sand beach is the perfect place to relax with a book, watch diving pelicans or play with the kids. A short paddle offshore lies a coral reef where snorkelers can view colorful fish and other marine life. You can even take a gyrocopter ride over the beautiful beaches. The Werner Sauter Biological Reserve, which is right behind Playa Samara, is home to various species of plants and animals including howler monkeys, various types of birds, and coati's.
A brand new restaurant has just opened at Montelaguna Boutique Hotel, which shares the same estate property with our Residence. The town of Samara also has numerous dining opportunities, many right along the beach. There are a number of shops with gifts, handmade items and several excellent yoga instructors at Samara or Carrillo.
I am Natalia. My family loves Costa Rica and we are glad to be able to share our place with visitors. There is so much to do there - relaxing on the beach, surfing or swimming, bird-watching, hiking, kayaking, practicing yoga, dancing and more.
Natalia purchased this apartment in 2013
The apartment is about a five minute walk to two of Costa Rica's most pristine and safe beaches, Playa Samara and Playa Carrillo. The town of Samara is within 20-25 min walk along the beach. You can also take the public modern bus that stops just in front of Montelaguna or call a taxi.
My husband and I just finished a month's stay at Montelaguna Residence in the beautiful Carillo and Samara area. We rented unit #23. Just look at the posted photos. It is REALLY that beautiful here. And this condo is located right between two fantastic beaches. It just takes a few minutes to walk to either one. It has the benefit of being close to two small towns, while it offers the privacy and quiet of being away from town, plus the security of being gated. The view from the balcony day or night is breath taking. Speaking of which, the balcony is a generous size. I have described it to friends like living in a treehouse. This unit is well supplied with all you need. It is very clean, good beds, good kitchen. The owner of this unit and her manager could not have been more helpful to us. I highly recommend it.
Stayed January 2015, traveled as a couple.

We chose Natalia's Montelaguna residence condo in Samara, Costa Rica to begin our "roving retiree" lifestyle and we could not have been happier. It very quickly and easily became our "home away from home". Natalia was very accessible to talk on the phone and/or email to answer all my questions and provide some general information about the area.
We spent two months in the condo and absolutely loved it all: meeting Laura the great property manager, walking on the beach to get into town for good restaurants and shops, walking down to Carillo beach to be among the locals and eat granizados (shaved ice) and drink cold coconut water from the whole coconut (pipa fria), swimming in the ocean, swimming in the pool, sitting outside on the roomy balcony watching monkeys, birds, iguanas, and the colorful sunsets! As you lay in bed at night you see the sky lit up with stars and, if you wake up early, you will see the sky changing color as the sun rises.
We had family and friends come to visit while in the condo and it never felt small. The bedrooms and bathrooms are roomy. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking anything you wanted, mixing drinks and smoothies. Everything worked very well.
We did not bother with a car. The public transportation is pretty good and inexpensive. We walked almost everywhere, but when we didn't want to we just waited outside of the condo on the street level and caught the bus, or called a taxi that picked us up right in front of the elevator. Very easy.
Take advantage of the great service Brenda, Chris and their team provide at the Samara Info Center in town. You can arrange all kinds of tours and events through them, they are super friendly and efficient.
We will enthusiastically recommend this property to anyone and everyone!

We stayed 10 days in the property and enjoyed every day. The apartment is large (2 full bedrooms, a large living room and a spacious terrace), clean and well maintained. It has more amenities than listed in the description and is furnished with taste in Meditarrenean style. The breathtaking mountain view is paired with such orientation of the apartment that one actually feels comfortable with ceiling funs with a/c turned off. The quiet is broken by occasional twitter of birds. The service was efficient yet unintrusive. The pool, never crowded, is comfortably deep. The property is located few hundred yards from one the best beache of Costa Rica and about 2 miles from the town with numerous inexpensive good restaurants. One can enjoy a number of activities including zipline, snorkeling, dolphin-watching, ATV, horseback riding. Our vacation there exceeded our expectations.

Well equipped two bedroom condo. Balcony with ceiling fan overlooking a lagoon area. Great for birdwatching with a coffee. Beds were very comfortable. Perfect for two couples.
Property is across the road about 300 meters to ocean....in a secured place...clean...well maintained grounds with a pool.....bedrooms are spacious.....living area a little smaller than we expected from photos but was very doable....Heard the monkeys in morning while sitting on the deck area and at dusk some nights....
