If you would like to forget about everyday life close to the beach, listening to the sound of the waves, then Bahia Beachfront is the perfect place to stay. The owners together with one of the most caring team of staff that we have ever seen created a unique atmosphere where you will feel both on vacation and at home at the same time. The food is generally amazing! We loved the rich and tasty breakfast and the lovely staff was always accomodating my husband's vegan lifestyle. Waking up in front of the sea every morning was one of the most amazing experiences. The both vibrating and relaxing town of Sámara is just a 5-10 minutes walk away at the beach, where you can play beach volleyball, go surfing, have a nice smoothie or delicious meal. At night you can also enjoy the beautiful terrace and tasty drinks and food at the hotel's restaurant. We were sad to leave this truly unique pearl at the beach and will surely be back in the future!

Very well maintained property, quiet, friendly hosts, beautiful outside shower/bathroom, awesome breakfast with gluten-free options, we regretted having booked only one night, truly a wonderful place that we would recommend to anyone who wants comfort, tranquility and yet not far from the beautiful playa Carillo and the super cozy playa Samara, a topper !

The hostel feels very much like a second home, the people living and volunteering here were extremely friendly and always ready to help! The beach is a 5-10min walk from the hostel and the environment is safe. The owner explained us about the plans for the future, which I’m sure has great potential! Absolutely recommend the place!

What an AMAZING hotel! The location is perfect, just a 1 min walk to the beach through stunning jungle on a private path and a 5 min walk to shops and restaurants. Everything about the hotel was perfect for us, the room was beautiful and we loved the private outside space to sit and watch monkey, birds, iguanas & geckos while enjoying a nice cold beer. Both pools were very welcome after a busy day exploring and the food was delicious. I think the best thing about the hotel was all the staff! They were so friendly, always happy to chat, very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. It’s clear they all enjoy their jobs as they were always smiling, happy and laughing with each other giving the hotel a very friendly and relaxed feel. Ines and Nikole on the front desk in particular went above and beyond helping with restaurant suggestions and bookings even sending me menu’s from a number of local restaurants so I could check there would be something my fussy son would eat! Not to mention telling us the best place to go to find local handmade souvenirs.

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.
