Get more Delta SkyMiles starting now when booking a cruise

Getting a big pile of Delta SkyMiles when booking a cruise just got easier.

In a major overhaul unveiled Wednesday, the Delta SkyMiles Cruises program switched to an award structure that offers 2 Delta SkyMiles for every dollar spent on a cruise.

That could bring significantly more mileage earnings for cruisers than what was available in the past, depending on how much they typically spend on cruises.

For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

The program also was rebranded as Delta Cruises, with a new website, cruises.delta.com .

Under the former system of mileage earning, Delta Cruises customers would earn a fixed number of Delta SkyMiles when booking a cruise, no matter how much they spent on the trip.

The fixed number started at 1,500 miles for a voyage of up to five nights and maxed out at 10,000 miles for a sailing of 13 nights or more. A typical seven-night cruise would bring 3,000 miles.

Under the new program, most cruise bookings will earn more miles, though some cruise bookings could earn less miles than with the previous system.

In fact, the greater number of SkyMiles that a customer could earn with a typical booking could be substantial, from what we can see.

Related: The ultimate guide to picking a cruise line

For example, let's assume you book a seven-night cruise for your family of four this summer on Royal Caribbean's new Wonder of the Seas in a midship balcony cabin. The pricing right now for such a scenario for an August trip is around $4,400, not including taxes and fees.

Under the old Delta Cruises earning system, you would earn a flat number of 3,000 miles for such a booking. Under the new system, you would earn around 8,800 miles.

That's a decent, if not amazing, number of bonus miles for booking a cruise. TPG currently values Delta SkyMiles at 1.41 cents each, putting the value of 8,800 SkyMiles at $124. It's far better than the value under the former system — 3,000 miles would be worth $42.30.

Keep in mind that Delta Cruises sometimes offers additional bonus miles with specific lines as part of short-term promotions. A recent Delta Cruises offer brought an additional 20,000 bonus miles when booking a balcony cabin on a cruise with Disney Cruise Line , for instance.

As a result, total miles earnings when booking a cruise through Delta Cruises can end up being far higher than just a 2-miles-per-dollar ratio.

Delta Cruises' terms and conditions

Note that the spending we're using here to calculate mileage earnings is the cruise fare before port charges, taxes and fees. Under the new system, cruisers will not earn miles on the port charges, taxes and fees portion of a cruise's cost.

Here's a look at all the specific rules around the new Delta Cruises mileage earning system:

• You will get 2 miles for every dollar spent on cruise fare.
• You will not earn miles on the added cost of port charges, taxes and fees.
• You will not earn miles on the cost of travel insurance, if you add that to your booking.
• There is no limit to how many miles you can earn.
• Mileage awards are per cabin and are only awarded to one passenger per cabin.
• You must book through Delta Cruises to get the miles.
• Mileage will post to your Delta SkyMiles account six to eight weeks after you cruise.

In all, there are 21 cruise lines that participate in the Delta Cruises program, including all the major big-ship brands such as Royal Caribbean , Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Cruise Line .

Which credit card should I use to book?

Looking to earn even more Delta SkyMiles? You can use a Delta SkyMiles credit card , such as the Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card . It earns 2 miles per dollar spent on Delta purchases — including flights. This card is currently offering 40,000 bonus miles after you spend $2,000 in purchases on your new card in your first six months.

Don't have a Delta-affiliated card? Use a card that earns bonus points on cruises . A good option is the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card , which earns 2 points per dollar spent on travel, including cruises. Right now, you can earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.

Should the Delta Variant Change Your Travel Plans?

d3sign / Getty Images

Key Takeaways

• When weighing the COVID-19 risk of your trip, consider your vaccination status, the travel destination's current infection rates, and the activities you plan to do once you're there.
• If you decide to carry on with your travel plans, it's best that you get vaccinated beforehand, wear a well-fitting mask, and stick to outdoor activities as much as possible.
• Make sure to plan for your post-travel quarantine or isolation in case you get exposed to someone with COVID-19 or begin to feel symptoms.

As states lifted COVID-19 restrictions at the start of the summer, airports became busy and travel soared. But now, with outbreaks cropping up nationwide, and shifting mask guidance, many Americans are rethinking those plans they made a few months ago.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the highly transmissible Delta variant accounted for 93.4% of new COVID-19 infections in the United States during the last two weeks of July.

Verywell asked experts to weigh in on what you should consider as you reevaluate those late summer or early fall travel plans.

Should You Cancel Your Travel Plans?

The decision to cancel or push through with travel plans depends on several important factors.

“Changes to travel plans should be considered based on your destination and what you plan to do there, how you are getting to your destination, and your risk tolerance,” Keri Althoff, PhD , an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, tells Verywell. “If you are a fully-vaccinated household, you have done the most important thing to ensure safe and healthy travels—vaccination.”

Currently, an estimated 90 million Americans are eligible for vaccination but remain unvaccinated. Experts advise that travel groups with mixed vaccination status—including those with children that are not yet eligible to get vaccinated—should reconsider their trip, especially if the intended travel destination is experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases.

“If you have members in your household that are unvaccinated or vaccinated but more vulnerable to infection or severe illness with COVID-19, you may want to opt for a new destination or delay your travel if your destination is experiencing a surge in COVID-19,” Althoff says. “This may be particularly important if the health system at your destination or at home is at capacity or overwhelmed.”

Even if the destination has relatively lower infection rates, it doesn’t mean that travelers shouldn't be vigilant. It’s important to continue taking all the necessary safety precautions to prioritize everyone’s health and safety.

“If you are traveling to a lower transmission area, being a considerate guest of your destination includes making sure you are monitoring your own health so that you are not bringing COVID-19 to your destination,” Althoff says. “Be sure you are aware of your destination’s policies on masking. While at your destination, keep an eye on COVID-19 transmission rates at your destination while you are there to adjust your plans based on your risk tolerance.”

What This Means For You

Before traveling, you should make sure everyone in your travel group is vaccinated. To find an appointment near you, go to vaccines.gov.

How to Navigate Your Travel Safely

“Delta is widespread in the U.S. and particularly high in the southern U.S,” F. Perry Wilson, MD , Yale Medicine physician and researcher at the Yale School of Medicine, tells Verywell. “Travel for unvaccinated individuals into high-prevalence areas is risky, and so those individuals will want to consider their own risk factors to make an informed choice.”

If you're unvaccinated and intend to go on your trip anyway, getting vaccinated beforehand is your best strategy for staying safe. Additionally, there are several other practices you can employ to further minimize your COVID-19 risk while traveling.

Wear Well-Fitting Masks

Face mask mandates vary by state, but they remain federally required on public transit such as planes, trains, and buses. Even if the state you're traveling to doesn't have a mask mandate in place, it’s practical to keep wearing one whenever you are able to do so to protect yourself from the virus.

“Individuals should wear masks when traveling,” Wilson says. “For vaccinated individuals, a well-fitting cloth mask may be adequate. Unvaccinated individuals should consider wearing an N95 or KN95 mask to provide more personal protection.”

The CDC does not recommend face masks for children younger than 2 years old, but if you’re traveling with children aged 2 or older, you must ensure that they wear a face mask as well.

“Children should also wear masks when traveling in public, if possible,” Wilson says. “They should also be well-fitting, with limited or no gaps around the nose, cheeks, and chin. There are KN95 masks made for children, but my experience is that these are quite hard to find nowadays.”

Choose Activities Wisely

Vaccinated or not, you should minimize your risk by determining which travel activities increase your risk of getting and spreading COVID-19.

“Beyond masking, the most important thing is to limit indoor activities where there are crowds,” Wilson says. “If you stay isolated with your travel companions, the risk is much lower than if you are participating in indoor activities where the high disease prevalence may lead to breakthrough infections.”

It’s best to stick to outdoor recreation where the risk is significantly lower, such as hiking and camping. Visiting museums or dining indoors can expose you to other groups of people outside your travel group.

“Someone who is vaccinated is probably safe in an indoor, crowded activity provided they have a well-fitting mask,” Wilson says. “Of course, each person needs to assess their own risk profile.”

Plan Thoroughly

It’s important to plan not only for the trip itself, but also for your return. You must know what to do in case of any unexpected circumstances that come your way during your travel.

“Think through your plan for where you will seek testing and how you would quarantine or isolate at your destination and upon returning home, so you or your traveling companions are ready if exposed or become ill,” Althoff says. “As many schools are back in session—or close to returning for the fall—be sure you have a plan for how you would start your child’s school year if COVID-19 exposure or illness occurs when traveling or upon your return home.”

COSTA RICA   Nicoya Peninsula

Peninsula de Nicoya Travel and Vacation Guide

Samara Costa Rica

Samara is the perfect place to soak up sun and enjoy beach life in an unpretentious, laid-back atmosphere. The small village is nestled in a large crescent bay, boasting a broad sandy beach that stretches over than 7 km and is lined with swaying palm trees. An offshore coral reef protects the bay of Samara, creating calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling.

With its pleasant ‘Tico’ feel, Samara is also a popular vacation spot for Costa Rican tourists. However, in recent years, it has also been gaining popularity among a growing number of expats.

Hotels in Samara offer many good lodging options in the mid- and budget ranges, and the village is easily reached by a paved road from Nicoya. A daily bus connects to San Jose and other major towns in Costa Rica.

As the town center is very compact, there is no need for a private vehicle. Hotels, supermarkets, stores, and the beach are all within easy walking distance. Samara boasts a wide selection of restaurants and bars. You can enjoy the ocean breeze while lounging in a laid-back beach bar with a sandy floor, or explore the village center for even more cool venues and places to dine or party at night.

The village center also hosts a couple of art galleries and cafes where you can find unique piece of artwork to bring home, reminding you of the easygoing Pura Vida in Costa Rica.

If you venture a bit out of town, you will discover beautiful uncrowded beaches to the north and south of Samara. To the north are the neighborhoods of Cangrejal and Cantarana, which are home to many locals and expats. From here, you can continue for another 2 km until you reach a river estuary and the pristine beach of Playa Buenavista . Heading in the opposite direction, 8 km south of Samara , is Playa Carrillo , a picturesque palm-lined beach in a tranquil, scenic horseshoe bay.

Tours and Activities in Samara

For snorkeling , the best spot is in Cangrejal, at the northern end of the Samara bay. Here, the ring of coral reef connects to the shoreline, and during dry season , you enjoy crystal-clear waters with colorful fish, manta rays, and starfish within the submarine fauna.

Another great activity in Samara is a kayak tour , where you paddle to the 5-hectare islet of Isla Chora, at the southern end of the Samara Bay. Isla Chora is a wildlife reserve for maritime birds. The island sports a pink sand beach where you can have a rest before paddling back. Other kayak tours can take you along the coast and into the mangroves of nearby river estuaries.

Surfing and SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding) are easily available on the beach of Samara, where you can have surf lessons and rent a board. With chest-deep water and easygoing waves, the bay of Samara is perfect for beginners learning to surf. More challenging waves for experienced surfers can be found 12 km south of Samara, on Playa Camaronal .

Sport fishing on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast is world-class. Professional fishing tours are offered from the nearby port of Carrillo, and sportfishers can catch mahi-mahi, marlin, giant tuna and sailfish, among others.

A popular tour by boat is dolphin-watching , where you might also see sea turtles or manta rays while enjoying views of the Samara coastline.

For activities on land, you can ride on horseback along the beach or to the Tobacco waterfalls, comprised of three cascades and natural swimming pools. Or, you can go on a Canopy Tour in Santo Domingo, three km inland from Samara.

Orchids and jungle lovers should consider a day tour to Montealto , a nature reserve in the mountains near Hojancha. You can explore the dense tropical forest on various trails, one of them festooned with a multitude of Costa Rican orchids on posts and trees.

Located right on the beach is the Samara Language School, where you can take Spanish classes to improve your language skills. The teachings are complemented with cultural immersion, and if desired, a homestay with a Costa Rican family.

Getting to samara:.

Samara can be reached quite easily through the 35 km paved road from Nicoya . If coming from the Tempisque bridge, you can alternatively take the road over the mountains via Hojancha and Carrillo. Daily direct buses connect to San José. However, the Samara airport no longer exists. The closest airstrip is in Nosara.

Nasa next-generation solar sail boom technology ready for launch.

Tara Friesen

Nasa’s new lightweight sailor , enabling future solar sails.

Sailing through space might sound like something out of science fiction, but the concept is no longer limited to books or the big screen. In April, a next-generation solar sail technology – known as the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System – will launch aboard Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket from the company’s Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand. The technology could advance future space travel and expand our understanding of our Sun and solar system.  

Solar sails use the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, angling toward or away from the Sun so that photons bounce off the reflective sail to push a spacecraft. This eliminates heavy propulsion systems and could enable longer duration and lower-cost missions. Although mass is reduced, solar sails have been limited by the material and structure of the booms, which act much like a sailboat’s mast. But NASA is about to change the sailing game for the future.  

The Advanced Composite Solar Sail System demonstration uses a twelve-unit (12U) CubeSat built by NanoAvionics to test a new composite boom made from flexible polymer and carbon fiber materials that are stiffer and lighter than previous boom designs. The mission’s primary objective is to successfully demonstrate new boom deployment, but once deployed, the team also hopes to prove the sail’s performance.  

Like a sailboat turning to capture the wind, the solar sail can adjust its orbit by angling its sail. After evaluating the boom deployment, the mission will test a series of maneuvers to change the spacecraft’s orbit and gather data for potential future missions with even larger sails.

“Booms have tended to be either heavy and metallic or made of lightweight composite with a bulky design – neither of which work well for today’s small spacecraft. Solar sails need very large, stable, and lightweight booms that can fold down compactly,” said Keats Wilkie, the mission’s principal investigator at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. “This sail’s booms are tube-shaped and can be squashed flat and rolled like a tape measure into a small package while offering all the advantages of composite materials, like less bending and flexing during temperature changes.”

After reaching its Sun-synchronous orbit, about 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) above Earth, the spacecraft will begin unrolling its composite booms, which span the diagonals of the polymer sail. After approximately 25 minutes the solar sail will fully deploy, measuring about 860 square feet (80 square meters) – about the size of six parking spots. Spacecraft-mounted cameras will capture the sail’s big moment, monitoring its shape and symmetry during deployment.

With its large sail, the spacecraft may be visible from Earth if the lighting conditions are just right. Once fully expanded and at the proper orientation, the sail’s reflective material will be as bright as Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky.

“Seven meters of the deployable booms can roll up into a shape that fits in your hand,” said Alan Rhodes, the mission’s lead systems engineer at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. “The hope is that the new technologies verified on this spacecraft will inspire others to use them in ways we haven’t even considered.”

Through NASA’s Small Spacecraft Technology program , successful deployment and operation of the solar sail’s lightweight composite booms will prove the capability and open the door to larger scale missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. 

This boom design could potentially support future solar sails as large as 5,400 square feet (500 square meters), about the size of a basketball court, and technology resulting from the mission’s success could support sails of up to 21,500 square feet (2,000 square meters) – about half a soccer field. 

“The Sun will continue burning for billions of years, so we have a limitless source of propulsion. Instead of launching massive fuel tanks for future missions, we can launch larger sails that use “fuel” already available,” said Rhodes. “We will demonstrate a system that uses this abundant resource to take those next giant steps in exploration and science.”  

Because the sails use the power of the Sun, they can provide constant thrust to support missions that require unique vantage points, such as those that seek to understand our Sun and its impact on Earth. Solar sails have long been a desired capability for missions that could carry early warning systems for monitoring solar weather. Solar storms and coronal mass ejections can cause considerable damage on Earth, overloading power grids, disrupting radio communications, and affecting aircraft and spacecraft. 

Composite booms might also have a future beyond solar sailing: the lightweight design and compact packing system could make them the perfect material for constructing habitats on the Moon and Mars, acting as framing structures for buildings or compact antenna poles to create a communications relay for astronauts exploring the lunar surface. 

“This technology sparks the imagination, reimagining the whole idea of sailing and applying it to space travel,” said Rudy Aquilina, project manager of the solar sail mission at NASA Ames. “Demonstrating the abilities of solar sails and lightweight, composite booms is the next step in using this technology to inspire future missions.” 

NASA Ames manages the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System project and designed and built the onboard camera diagnostic system. NASA Langley designed and built the deployable composite booms and solar sail system. NASA’s Small Spacecraft Technology (SST) program office based at NASA Ames and led by the agency’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD), funds and manages the mission. NASA STMD’s Game Changing Development program developed the deployable composite boom technology. Rocket Lab USA, Inc of Long Beach, California is providing launch services. NanoAvionics is providing the spacecraft bus.

Sámara: A Travel Guide to Costa Rica’s Coolest Beach Town

• February 26, 2021

Are you considering visiting the surf town of Sámara in Costa Rica? Need some persuasion? Well you’ve come to the right place! This Sámara travel guide is designed to tell you everything you need to know to plan your escape to this stunning area of Costa Rica.

I spent a few days in Sámara at the end of my G Adventures Costa Rica tour, and I fell for it fast!

Unlike many other places in Costa Rica, this small town on the pacific coast is surprisingly authentic, and you’ll never have to deal with crowds of other tourists. Most tourists skip over Samara entirely, which in my opinion is almost criminal!

Even if you’re not into surfing, there’s a whole load of reasons you’ll love Sámara. First of all, obviously, the lack of crowds is a big selling point. There’s also the laid-back, anything goes vibe that makes you want to quit your life and become a full-time beach bum. But Samara is also a fabulous base for a tonne of awesome activities that’ll keep you entertained for days! 

Heading to Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast instead? Check out my travel guide here.

How Much Time Do You Need in Sámara?

In Sámara, it’s easy to do whatever it is you want. Feel like reading a book on the beach for a couple of days? No problem. Feel like packing a bunch of activities into your stay and keeping busy? That’s also cool!

Aside from surfing and being a beach bum, there isn’t much to do in Sámara itself so it’s a good idea to get a balance of beach time and adventure activities. I think 3 days in Sámara is ideal for most visitors, but if you like surfing you’ll want to stay there longer.

I personally could have stayed there for over a week without getting bored! Sprawled out on the beach, drinking out of a coconut, I almost cancelled my flights home to extend my trip!

Alas… Real life responsibilities won in the end, and I caught the bus back to San Jose promising to return one day…

How to Get to Sámara

There are a few options for getting to Sámara depending on how adventurous you are.

Obviously, if you’ve hired a car, you should drive to Sámara. It takes around 4 hours from the capital city of San Jose, or 2 hours from Tamarindo. I’m a big scaredy-cat when it comes to driving, though, so it was never something I considered!

The option I went for, and the easiest option by far, is by joining a Costa Rica guided tour that goes to Sámara. There are a few different tour providers in Costa Rica, but I opted for G Adventures and I highly recommend their tours.

I went on this one , which hits up all the highlights of Costa Rica (including Sámara) over 14-days, and I had the time of my life! Taking a tour was ideal for me, as it meant I didn’t have to think at all about logistics and how to get from A to B. Y ou can read my full review of the tour I went on here.

Your final option is to catch a bus to get to Sámara. From San Jose, the bus takes around 4 hours and costs around $8 one-way. There are also local buses from Sámara to popular nearby destinations such as Tamarindo.

Things to Do in Sámara, Costa Rica

Going surfing.

Sámara is all about surf, and whether you’ve never set foot on a surfboard in your life or you’re a seasoned pro, you’ll have the time of your life surfing here.

The guys over at C&C Surf School have unbeatable enthusiasm for teaching you how to surf and are full of helpful advice. A few people in my tour group took lessons here and had nothing but good things to say about them. Everybody managed to stand up on their first lesson, which is a huge achievement!

If you already know what you’re doing they have a wide range of surfboards to hire, although they don’t have too many more “advanced” boards. They also hire out rash vests. Be sure to hire a long sleeve one if you can to protect yourself from the sun!

Surfing here was unbelievable. I just couldn’t get enough. The waves were so clean and easy to ride along (especially compared to the windswept slop I surf back at home)! Sámara is the perfect place to learn how to surf.

That said, though, the surf is only pumping at certain times of the day. When I was there, it was first thing in the morning and around sunset. During the middle of the day, it was almost flat! That means you’ll have time to either lounge on the beach in between surf sessions, or fit in an activity.

Snorkelling

How better to explore Sámara’s surrounding area than by boat, stopping off to snorkel at all the best spots? 

I love snorkelling and always try to do it at least once per trip. There are quite a few snorkelling tours available in Sámara, so I recommend using Viator to check out your options.

This tour gets rave reviews! Taking in the gorgeous scenery at Barco Quebrado, Sámara and Carrillo, you’ll be able to snorkel to your heart’s content and get to know the area by its best and most beautiful asset – the ocean!

Stand up Paddleboarding

Even if you haven’t tried stand up paddleboarding before, taking a paddleboarding tour is one of the best things to do in Samara. Sámara beach itself can sometime be too ferocious for stand up paddleboarding, but joining a tour will enable you to visit the tranquil nearby waters of Carillo, which is much better suited to paddleboarding.

During a paddleboarding class, your guide will give you a quick introduction to paddleboarding and teach you how to balance on the board before you set off along the coast.

Horseback Riding

Fun fact: the first time I ever went horseback riding was in Costa Rica.

Ever since, I’ve made it my life mission to convince everybody else to go horseback riding in Costa Rica too. Well, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but the experience was just magic!

Luckily, you can go horseback riding in Sámara – and you can actually ride on the beach (goals)!

This tour takes you riding up a mountain through the jungle to reach amazing viewpoints, and allows you to see a part of Sámara not many others visit which isn’t accessible by vehicle. The final leg of the tour includes galloping along the beach.

I’m always super cautious before recommending animal activities as animal welfare is something I am passionate about. Fortunately, this tour company is consistently praised for the condition of their horses, and they pride themselves on never taking the horses on more than one tour per day. 

Meeting Turtles

Ever wanted to see turtles nesting and hatching on the beach?

Well, from Sámara, you can take a tour to see the baby turtles . From Sámara beach, a guided turtle tour will take you to either Corozalito, Camaronal or Ostional beach where you commence your turtle hunt.

The tour guides have a huge emphasis on the wellbeing of the turtles and give you a full safety briefing before you spot the turtles and, after that, you’ll be able to watch the turtles making their way into the ocean.

The peak turtle hatching time in the area is September and October, so, although you can still spot turtles outside of these months, there’s always a risk that you could miss them.

Mangrove Kayaking 

Sámara isn’t far away from the Ora River, a popular kayaking spot in Costa Rica. Paddling the quiet waters of the river on a guided kayak tour is the best way to explore the mangroves. As you paddle you’ll be able to spot wildlife such as monkeys and birds, as well as an easy way to explore the tropical rainforest. 

Sunset Booze Cruise

I skipped this tour in favour of extra time spent surfing, but judging by the state of the girls on my tour group who went on it when they returned to the hostel, I definitely missed out!

With alcohol, soft drinks and snacks all included in the price of the cruise, this is without doubt the most epic way to catch the sunset in Sámara. There’s an opportunity to snorkel and dolphin-spot on the journey before you settle in to witness the sunset over drinks. The cruise lasts around 3 hours.

The girls on my tour who went on this came back so drunk (in the best way possible). They all said they’d had an amazing time – and it sure looked like they did! Check out prices here .

Quad Biking

This was another tour that I skipped in order to go surfing in Sámara (I’m sensing a theme here…) but the people in my tour group who went quad biking couldn’t sing its praises loud enough!

The quad biking tour includes a safety briefing followed by pure adventure! You’ll get to take in the hills and jungle as you zoom through the rainforest. The tour finishes off at the beach, where you’ll get the opportunity to snorkel and wash away all the dirt from the journey.

Be sure to bring a bandana if you’re going quad biking! The wheels kick up dust and dirt like there’s no tomorrow, and breathing in a bunch of dust is something nobody wants.

Is Sámara Costa Rica Safe?

Yes, Sámara is safe, and I didn’t feel concerned for my safety at all whilst I was here – unlike in a few towns on the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica where harassment was a problem.

I would have felt fine walking alone in the town centre at night by myself, but fortunately I didn’t have to, and I’d always prefer to go out with others after dark.

Obviously, like everywhere else in Costa Rica, stay sensible, keep an eye on your belongings, and don’t go wandering around dark alleyways by yourself at night, and you’ll find that Sámara is a perfectly safe place to visit in Costa Rica.

Where to Stay in Sámara

There are great accommodation options in Sámara for all budgets, but especially if you’re travelling on a low to mid-range budget. Here are my picks for the best places to stay in Sámara.

Hostels in Sámara

Sámara has quite a few hostels, but there are only a couple that have good ratings:

Matilori hostel – Surrounded by Mango trees and just 50 metres away from the beach, you can’t beat the location of this hugely popular hostel. It’s fairly small so it’s easy to get to know other people in the hostel, which is ideal if you’re a solo traveller looking to socialise. It also has all the facilities you’d need, including a kitchen to prepare your own food (and keep costs down) and reliable wifi if you need to get some work done or call home. 

One night in a 6-bed dorm costs around $15 , with a private double room costing $40 . Check out availability and reviews here .

Las Mariposas – Just like Matilori hostel, Las Mariposas is just 50 metres away from the beach (Sámara really is all about beachside living!). This hostel is well known amongst travellers to Sámara for its social atmosphere, and it has a hammock area outdoors where you can chill in the evening and chat with other guests. It also offers free coffee in the morning.

One night in an 8-bed dorm costs around $14 , with a private double room costing $40 . Check out availability and reviews here .

Hotels in Sámara

If you’re travelling as a couple (or just prefer your own space and a few extra luxuries) staying at a hotel or guesthouse in Sámara is the ideal option for you. 

The Good Life Lodge – This is the perfect compromise between a hostel and a hotel – it has a communal kitchen, so you can cook your own food to save costs, but it has the little luxuries you wouldn’t find at a hostel. We’re talking about a hot tub, flat-screen TVs, welcome beers and the all-important AIR CONDITIONING! This place gets rave reviews, which you can check out here . 

Double rooms cost around $79 per night . Check availability for your dates here . 

Hotel Peace & Lodge – For one of the best places to stay in Sámara, check out Hotel Peace & Lodge. This place is one of Booking.com’s most popular stays in Sámara, and looking over the property’s pictures, I’m not surprised. With a restaurant, a swimming pool, a garden and a bar, it isn’t short of facilities, and all the rooms are spacious. The price also includes breakfast!

Double rooms cost around $102 per night . Check availability for your dates here .

Best Restaurants in Sámara

Sámara is a small town, so you’re not going to be overwhelmed by choice of places to eat here. That said, there are enough great restaurants in town serving up both local and international cuisine, so you won’t be disappointed. Here are my top picks:

• Samara Sushi – this sushi place is wildly popular and gets rave reviews. In fact, my Costa Rican tour guide said it was his favourite sushi ever! The decor is unique and makes the restaurant feel super laid back, and their 2 for 1 sushi special (which runs after 5pm) is always a hit. Unfortunately, though, it’s quite pricey.
• Restaurante Sheriff Rustic – for an authentic Costa Rican soda (a local restaurant) you don’t need to look any further than Restaurante Sheriff Rustic. I ate here twice, and it was perfect! The prices were reasonable, the staff offer killer recommendations from the menu, and their ceviche cannot be beaten.
• El Lagarto – Is this the best restaurant in Samara? I think so! And so do all the online reviewers! The specialty at El Lagarto is anything grilled, and boy, I didn’t think grilling could make anything taste this good! The restaurant is down a back street and a bit hard to find, but that only makes it more of a hidden gem.

Don’t forget to check out my post on traditional food and drinks to try in Costa Rica!

Things You Need to Bring to Sámara, Costa Rica

For Sámara, you’ll definitely need some mosquito repellent spray and bands , and a quick-dry travel towel for all those beach days you’ll have. Other than that, you won’t need anything special beyond what I covered in my Costa Rica packing list .

I do want to emphasise how important it is that you purchase travel insurance before you visit Sámara, though. 

A lot of people don’t think it’s necessary to get travel insurance before travelling to Costa Rica – and it makes me wince whenever I hear about it! Costa Rica is fairly safe, but being careful and visiting safe destinations doesn’t prevent plain old bad luck from happening!

Not only is travel insurance very affordable, but it can save you from all manner of nightmarish situations – whether that’s having your flights cancelled, accidentally damaging your laptop, or even getting injured on an activity! I recommend World Nomads for travel insurance and would NEVER travel uninsured . 

Travel insurance is the kind of thing you often don’t think about until you need it. Don’t get caught short!

I hope this post has helped you to plan your visit to Sámara – you’re going to love it! With so many fun activities right on its doorstep, and that incredible beach, I can’t understand why Sámara isn’t swamped with visitors. I’m definitely happy it isn’t, though!

I’m so glad I came across your post. I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit I’d never even heard of Samara. Now I can’t wait to go there.

Thanks Jenn! Samara is so lovely!

Thanks for this. How did you feel about the Hotel Villas Playa Samara. We are an active couple in our late 60’s and early 70’s who want to stay in an all inclusive but still take surfing lessons and do some excursions. Did you see this hotel and what did you think of it.

Hi Steve, I’m glad you found the post helpful! I unfortunately didn’t see Hotel Villas Playa Samara during my time in town, but given your interests I think you’ll have a fabulous time in Samara no matter where you stay! I hope you have a great trip 🙂
