This is the best place to stay if you want to see the arribada of turtles! The starting point of the tours is just right across the street. Ostional is quite far to drive from other locations, it is advisable to drive there in daylight and stay in the village for a night. The house is basic but comfortable, the rooms have AC and stable wifi. The hosts were super kind depsite the language barrier.

I've stayed at Casa Terra for almost 4 weeks because I went to Intercultura Language School nearby to learn Spanish. I felt very comfortable and at home at Casa Terra. It was always very clean. Also, I enjoyed being surrounded by nature and since it was not on the main road, it was really quiet at night. The walk to the beach is about 8 minutes, the walk downtown around 15 minutes. The volunteers Constance and Carolina as well as the owners were always happy to help with questions and organizing tours and often hung out with us at the hostel. I can fully recommend staying there.

Annie and her large number of sisters went out of her way to make us feel at home. Even accommodating us to stay an unplanned extra night in the same room. Everything was as shown on the site and the big washing lines for drying clothes were an extra bonus.

The breakfast was really generous and delicious, including lots of fresh local fruit. I have a gluten intolerance and Tommy was so accommodating, he even got his friend Olga to come over and make corn tortillas some mornings! My room was lovely and big, and there was high pressure in the shower. The communal kitchen has everything you need, and everywhere was really clean. The pool is great for cooling off. The outdoor dining area is relaxed and sociable, and Tommy was always about, with a very calm, kind presence, to answer any questions or requests. There's a really chill atmosphere. The perfect music is always playing softly in the background. It takes a minute to walk to the beach (I could hear the waves from my room at night) and it is a peaceful 20 minute walk along the beach to the centre of Samara. There's a local restaurant and supermarket about 300 metres from the accommodation. It's the perfect location for relaxing while enjoying Samara. I was very unwell towards the end of my stay, and Tommy and Olga were so kind, the level of kindness that restores faith in humanity. They were incredibly caring and really went over and above to help me. Needless to say I would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you so much Tommy!

Wow what an awesome place! Pablo and Malvi are super lovely and helpful, and are busy creating a beautiful space for travellers. We stayed in the new tent platform out back - it was peaceful, cool and comfy, we slept great. Kitchen facilities are good, the hostel is clean and airy with different spaces to relax and loads of stunning murals to enjoy. The location is ideal, it's an easy walk into town/beach and had nice sodas and shops very nearby. Quiet back street that felt safe and has off-road parking right outside. Highly recommend!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.
