Pros: Very quiet and close to shops, the beach and entertainment venues.

Cons: To leave.

F 10/10

Canada 🇨🇦

Pros: The location as well as the staff and the facilities were all fantantic! I would recommend this hostel highly to anyone who is on a tight budget but wants to be within an easy stroll to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica and very close to good affordable restaurants and nightly live entertainment; and the owner and his staff were also impressively friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The dorm rooms are also very safe, clean and comfortable with lockers and I'm very much looking forward to spending more time in this hostel during my every visit to Samara.

Cons: I honestly can't think of anything that I didn't like.

Sociable with great location

Pros: Lots of good social spaces, dorm was comfortable with AC. They give towels with a returnable deposit. Everyone was friendly, the lady who washes the clothes let me use the spin on the machine to dry my clothes. Great location

Cons: Staff were mostly volunteers who didn't seem to know how to convert dollars into colones or much else but they did recommend a good surf rental. The kitchen was a bit disorganised. Areas could have been a bit cleaner, bathroom could do with some TLC

PARADISE

Pros: This place exceeded every expectation I had! Sámara is a true paradise : the perfect little beach town with the kindest people, the most beautiful beaches and the best vibe. Sandy toes hostel is perfectly located, is really clean and has the most amazing staff. They have activities every night that will help you make a lot of friends and have so much fun. I really recommend going there if you are searching for a place that will quickly feels like home. Although I must warn you : there is a high chance you end up staying there for way longer than originally planned ;) Thank you so much Kiban, Maria, Johanna, Naomi, Valérie, Meri and Chiqui; looking forward to seeing you again !
