Azura

Enjoyed my stay at azura thoroughly. The staff was amazing; very friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were made amazingly I had no complaints at all. The air conditioning in the room worked very well and the rooms were very nice.

AMAZING RESORT

Wow, what an amazing vacation. People, scenery, food, everything was just perfect. Kevin and Jeferson are absolutely amazing!! Seney and Marcelo are also gems. Shrimp risotto was my absolute favorite dish and all of the food is first class. even if it inst on the menu, Jeferson will improvise and do his take on the meal you desire. Iced coffee with liqueur in it was amazing. Room service was the absolute best. Beautiful beach however water is not clear. Other than the biting mosquito, i have no  [... read more]complaints.

Terrific resort march 5-12 2019

We have just returned March 12th 2019 .When I read the reviews we were uncertain about this resort .If the previous reviews were true .First Costa Rico is amazing . The Azuza beach resort is new , beautiful and there are appx 20 rooms not complete. We found no construction going on to disturb the tranquility we found in this property..The rooms not finished would be complete once the power blackout blinds were up and the interiors complete. This is a non smoking resort on the beach only. The  [... read more]staff all speak excellent english and made us feels so welcome. The most people were 40 years and upward. Monkey tours offer excursions as well as Air Canada bur I would recommend the monkey tours . Eric and Nickson and Coco can make you all the local drinks but they have international as well. Samara is 20 min walk on beach to markets shops and restaurants .Room cleaned every day and fridge was restocked daily . Three floors but there is an elevator. Food was good buffet breakfast and lunch. Chill and grill lunch and dinner . Italian a la carte . There is currently 2 hours of music from 7-9 and music playing at the swim up bar and that is it. This was fine with us . We truley enjoyed our first time to Costa Rico and The Arura beach resort D&S

Great Getaway

The resort as noted in trip advisor is not completely finished. To begin our holiday we were upgraded to the honeymoon suite! Not a bad start! From that moment on we had a great time. Yes there were some wrinkles and you might have had to wait a few more minutes to place your order or get your meal but they are offering a very good deal. The resort is beautiful, beach is lovely and the pool area is well laid out. I would highly recommend this resort and expect they will work out some of th [... read more]e small problems. Staff are fun and very hard working. This is our second time in Costa Rica and we had an amazing vacation

Beautiful Hotel

The Azura is a beautiful new hotel that unfortunately was still under construction while we were there. We didn’t get the panoramic room we paid for, but the room we did get was nice, just no views. It was understaffed as well. We found the male staff catered to the French speaking male tourists more than the females. We waited longer for food and drinks at the bar. Very limited menus, and food wasn’t cooked as per the order.It shouldn’t be recommended at this time The sunsets were spect [... read more]acular as well as the tours!

Needs Work

This Resort needs to address a few issues: 1- No coffee in the rooms 2- Check-In was poorly handle 3 - Information on WEB Site incorrect example: 90 minutes from airport and it is actually 2 Hour Drive 4 - All excursions were too far from the Resort and overly priced 5 - Lack of nightly entertainment 6 - No Menus at the Buffet or other Restaurant's 7 - No Hot Water in the Bathroom Other then the above issues the Staff were very Friendly and Helpful We also realized this is a new Res [... read more]ort and they have a lot of kinks to work out

Azura Beach Resort Samara is not open and won't be for another YEAR!

I don't know why Tripcentral is advertising it at all or Air Canada Tours. We were sent to Hotel Villas Playa Samara. We never received the automatic upgrade stated in our 1 (a) choice and we were never refunded our difference in the pirce package which is at least $300.00 each. I felt sorry for the poor hotel manager who had to deal with us. I had all the paper work with me, it's a good thing because they said they were unaware of the upgrade.......who to believe. The Hotel Villas Playa Sam [... read more]ara is a small resort, very quiet if you get a villa in the back of the property. We were in a bottom floor of a quad duplex. Room was nice and clean and in working order. The people there were very nice and friendly. We went on the fishing trip excursion twice and brought back our catch of the day. The chef at the restaurant prepared our fish and both times it was amazing. I would go back because I know what to expect, it's my first all inclusive but my friend who has been to a few all inclusive bigger resort would not return. I was trouble with the service I got from Tripcentral in returning my calls seemed like once we paid the trip I had to talk to someone new it's unfortunate. I have a few more trips planned this year so I think I will deal with a travel agent face to face from now on.

Epic resort

Everything was pretty good we have no complaints , people were very nice ,guides were awesome and so helpful , meals very good , love the pool it was kept very clean ,the ocean was amazing , loved the wild horses walking along the beach ,the sunset was epic ,our villa was the best of everything #1 on the ocean front , felt comfortable and safe and would consider going back someday

Nice resort with excursion issues

We enjoyed the resort and the staff worked hard to provide you with what you wanted. We had issues booking excursions due to some confusion between Air Canada and the hotel on the credits issued. It eventually got resolved but not by the hotel staff person. The process and handling by the specific staff person should have been more client friendly. Other than that and a very poor mattress this was a nice place to stay.

Resort is Okay

This is a smaller resort and the the rooms were okay. Getting hot shower is a challenge. Only one pool and one restaurant so if you are looking for more flexibility then this is not the place. Need more staff to man the two bars and the bars are on the smallish side. Pool bar is fine but need something closer to the beach. Only place to get food is at the restaurant so that is also not ideal. Staff booking the excursions need to be replaced.

Hotel Villas Playa Samara

This is a smaller hotel with lots of potential. Some of the rooms have been upgraded while some still need some TLC. The food was good most days but I think they changed chefs half way through the week and the quality went down. The servers were very nice & the staff were good. The manger on the front desk was not very helpful when it came time to redeem our vouchers from Air Canada. We had to call Canada to get this sorted out. Even when they were told that we had vouchers the guy that was ther [... read more]e to book our excursions was slow to get this done & we had to push him to book them. It was like they didn’t want us to use the $500 before we left. As it was we did not use our full amount.

Not open yet

We stayed at the sister resort (Hotel Villas Playa Samara) from February 13th to the 20th. Construction continues on the new resort every day, but it does not look near completion yet. The Villas resort was exceptionally clean and well kept. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The food was great every day on the buffet. Some of the meals at the restaurant were not hot when they arrived. Pizzas were excellent! The bartenders at the pool bar kept the drinks flowing. The sta [... read more]ff were all friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay, but still wished the new resort had been available.

Goood hotel in Montevideo

Great location, very friendly staff. Cozy room and good maintenance. Pretty neighborhood with nice, small places to eat. BTW why the review must be at least 200 characters? It is unnecessary requirement in my opinion.
