What's Samara like in May? 

We're often asked "When's the best time to visit Samara?" or "What's Samara like in May?" We love May because it's quiet and usually is a month of change. May marks the traditional start of the rainy season. During the hot afternoon at some point this month the clouds will open up and drench the parched soils of Guanacaste. Magically, overnight the hillsides turn green again and the trees begin to sprout new leaves. The dust disappears and the rain seems to cool everything off. The weather then returns to its green season pattern: sunny and bright mornings that transition to stormy afternoons for the next 6 months.
