Winner
Nosara
Nosara's premium wellness and surf positioning drives ADR 55% above Samara, producing stronger net income despite higher management fees.
Analysis
Both markets occupy the southern Nicoya Peninsula and share seasonality patterns. Nosara commands $210 ADR vs Samara's $135 — a 55% premium — driven by an affluent international traveler who prioritizes the wellness destination brand. Entry prices reflect this: $400K median in Nosara vs $230K in Samara. Net yields are similar as percentages, but Nosara's absolute dollar income is significantly higher. Samara suits buyers with lower capital who still want Nicoya Peninsula positioning.
