Samara is such a special place. Lived outside of the town for three years, and just made it back for a visit to my friends in the area for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Met a Tica just yesterday from another part of CR who had lived here years ago, who told me that something about Samara "marks" you. I have to agree. Also Sheriff's, the soda where you were at at the beginning, is a great beachfront soda; also check out Soda La Perla off of Playa Cangrejal!
