Cabinas del Mar, hotel in Sámara

Only 1 minute away from the beach, Cabinas del Mar is located in Sámara. The property offers a garden with an outdoor swimming pool, hammocks and barbecue facilities.

The breakfast was very good. Delicious fruit bowl followed by eggs and toast. Excellent coffee! The atmosphere, the garden and decor reminded me of my time in Bali. The slow, jazzy piano music playing in the background was very relaxing. The round sitting pool was wonderful to cool off in. Due to a flight delay, we arrived a day late. I contacted the property and Thomas, the proprietor immediately replied "no problem, see you tomorrow". This flexibility was very much appreciated!

Casa Terra Hostel, hotel in Sámara

Located in Sámara, Casa Terra Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a grill.

Everyone was super-friendly, helpful, and kind. It was easy to meet fellow travelers. The hostel also is not a party hostel, so it was nice not to have to worry about someone coming in drunk at 2 a.m. and urinating or puking in the corner.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    I loved everything about this space. My budget room was small but perfect for my stay. I loved cooling off in the dipping pool before bed each night. Great location … 5 minutes to walk to all restaurants, beach and shops but also not right in the middle of all the late night music etc.
