What a view: Right in front of the beach. The staff that welcomed us was so nice! We end up eating there and for the view, location, quality of the food and prices, more than worth it.

Great vibes from owner and fellow travellers. Facilities were clean and well maintained. The hostel is in a great location, not too far from town and close enough to the wilderness.

The owner/general manager, Kiban, and his entire staff were helpful, sensitive and attentive to my needs and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The kitchen areas were very clean and well-stocked with appliances and cooking utensils.and the entire facility was comfortable, safe and very well-maintained. The price and the facilities are probably the best value-for-dollar places to stay in Samara. Highly recommended, particularly for backpackers on the earlier side of life.

Hotel was clean with an enjoyable host. Location is top-notch, can't be any closer to the beach. Restaurants are available along the beach. Quiet and non-touristy beach. A perfect place to unplug and relax. The kitchenette is a great bonus for those who choose to prepare their own food.

We are a well traveled family but this hotel is just amazing. I stayed with my daughter for 5 days and everything was just perfect. Hardly saw any hotel wich is so nice surrounded by nature and we observed so many animals, howling monkeys everywhere. It is outstanding how much that hotel cares about the environmental outcome. The staff is very friendly and the laundry service a big plus. We loved to drive around with the bikes. The breakfast is lovely and the walk through the jungle directly to beach observing crabs and frogs, couldn’t get enough.

Beautiful suites, we loved the shower with an indoor and outdoor part. The terrace was nice and comfortable. The kitchenette had everything we needed. The host and the staff were incredibly friendly, the complimentary breakfast at Naked Foods next door was delicious. Access to the beach directly from the hotel was easy (there is a short walk through a strip of forest but that is the case for all hotels there). Overall a great experience and we would definitely return.

We really enjoyed our stay in Norte. The staff, especially the bar staff we super friendly and so helpful. We loved the acai bowls for breakfast and the cocktails at night. The location was excellent, close to beach and lots of nice restaurants. The room was small but had everything we needed. The pool area was relaxing and clean. We would recommend Norte and would come back again.

    The location was great, right on the beach and next door to Patos surf school which was the best place to learn to surf! The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was delicious and overall a great hotel!

    Best location ever, we had a balcony with beach view. Even if taking a different room the restaurant is fantastic. There are tables on the beach beneath palm trees, a wonderful place for drinking smoothies amd cocktails. The beach is wide and nearly empty. Good for surfing as well.
