Good location. Beautiful town and beaches.

8/10 Good

The hotel is in the quieter side of Samara, yet close to the beach and to restaurants. It has a casual atmosphere. The weekly market is directly behind the hotel, a grocery store is a block away and there’s a great soda(Mister Warners) and seafood restaurant (Malibu) less than a 2 minute walk away.
