    Sandy Toes in Samara was definitely worth the money! The room was comfortable and clean, and the location couldn't have been better, just a stone's throw away from the beach and everything else we needed.

    The breakfast menu could use some improvement with more variety and options.

    Great value for money with affordable double bed bunks. Great location, just a minute walk to the beach and in the heart of the town near all the restaurants, bars, and shops. The staff, especially Sandra, were helpful and accommodating.

    Breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety.

    The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach. The dorm room was spacious and comfortable, with sturdy bunk beds. The hostel had a great sense of community and we felt welcomed by the friendly staff. The kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed cooking our meals there. Despite a few minor drawbacks like the mattresses being noisy and the bathroom occasionally getting dirty, overall I highly recommend this hostel for a fun and relaxing stay.

    I recently stayed at Sandy Toes in a double bed bunk and had an amazing time. The location was ideal, just a minute walk to the beach and right in the center of town. The staff and owner were friendly and helpful, ensuring a quiet night after 11pm. The rooms had AC and a sink, and there were plenty of appliances to make my own food. The wifi was also reliable compared to other places in the area.

    I highly recommend this hotel.
