Clean, comfortable and relaxing

We stayed 6 nights at the Azura Resort near Samara and have a mostly favorable review. On a scale of 1-5, we would give a 4. We rate accommodations a 5. Rooms were spacious and clean. The king size bed was comfortable and the electric blackout shades let us sleep in until 8:30 which we never do. The hot/cold water dispenser was awesome for a cold clean drink or hot tea. The balcony chairs were comfortable. Downsides were the shower with minimal pressure (only lukewarm but adequate) and a hairdryer that didn’t work. Make sure you get all the towels you need. We rate the outdoor pool and beach a 4. The pool was clean and the swim-up pool bar was awesome. Downside was some of the brown wicker chaise lounge chairs were broken as were some of the umbrellas. Guests will claim chairs early so drop your stuff off to ensure a spot. The cushions in the cabanas were moldy and uninviting. Accumulate pool towels as they can be hard to come by. When you first check in, download the WhatsApp number so you can communicate with the concierge, who is very responsive. You will need this to make dinner reservations and request pretty much anything while at the resort. The internet was quick and reliable. Any issues or problems surfaced were promptly addressed with no apologies. We rate the food and dinners as 3. But first, the breakfast is awesome and we rate it as 5. There were abundant selections whether hot or cold. We never had lunch so we cannot comment. As far as dinner, there are 3 restaurants-the Chill & Grill, Boccato (Italian) and Tao (Asian). They are not always open and they do not let you know when they they are open or closed. Plus, items on the menu are not always available so don’t get set on a selection. We experienced the Chill and Grill twice. Both times we had the Surf and Turf. The steak was one of the best ever! So tender and delicious! We had the Italian 3 times because the Asian was closed 3 nights while we were there. The mushroom risotto was so salty we could hardly eat it. The meatballs were dry and overcooked in the spaghetti bolognese. The 2nd time we had the marlin special which had no flavor. The meatballs were still dry. The 3rd time was better because the catch of the day was salmon and it was perfectly prepared. Our only time at the Asian place was ok with mixed results. The Pad Thai had a weird taste but the One Tso Chicken was ok. Make sure you order items one at a time. Do not say ‘Bring me a wine with dinner’ because they will bring it right away. Also, don’t tell them what you want for dinner early. I said I was going to order a particular entree when it was time to order but my wife was undecided. Next thing I get my entree and she had yet to order. She ordered when I received mine but it was 30 minutes before she received hers. Understand that you will be at any of the restaurants at least 2 hours. Go as early as possible or as late as they allow. We heard the kitchen can only cook 4 meals at a time. It takes forever to get your entree but hey, what else do you have to do. The only wines are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cab and Merlot. One type each as they are proprietary but tolerable. For activities, we rate a 5. We did the horse back riding and massage. Both were awesome but book as early as possible. It would have been nice if the hotel and food/beverage managers would walk around and ask guests about their experiences. When you saw them, they were focused on staff performance and facility upkeep. Great place to relax. We would probably recommend it to others while sharing the issues and limitations.
Fantastic resort

Just got back from the Azura Beach a day ago. Firstly I want to say to anyone looking to book here. Do it immediately. 75 room resort which can house 150 people at a time. The food was incredible. Very fresh and no buffet style like all other resorts. Order from a menu except for buffet at breakfast with plenty of options and can sit right in front of the beautiful ocean. We had gorgeous hot weather the entire week I need to mention what makes this resort so special is the staff. Many many thanks to Eden (love that girl) Luis whom I never had a chance to say good bye too, incredible man, Roxanna with her always saying hello. The front staff at the check in desk amazing men sorry I can’t remember all their names and also Dani. We will miss all of you. The resort is beyond beautiful tastefully decorated and the rooms so lovely. We had an ocean view large balcony with 2 lounge chairs and a tub. Gorgeous to watch sunsets from and sit with a coffee in the morning from our in room Espresso machine. Comfy king bed. Make sure to go out and explore Costa Rica it’s a beautiful country but be prepared with a hat for the hot sun. We booked the Sealife Tour that picked us up in front of the hotel on the beach. Went on a catamaran that took us out in the ocean to see Sea Turtles and Dolphins. Wow is all I can say. An experience I will never forget. We have been to many all inclusive all over and this has been my favourite. Costa Rica has stolen my heart and the people. Very lush very beautiful and truly paradise. Thank you Azura for such a wonderful week of relaxation and smiles from your kind staff. They work hard and always have a smile on their faces. They deserve a huge raise. We will be back!
