Hotel Sol Samara

Hotel Sol Samara is a simple two-pearl property located on the outskirts of downtown Samara. Its 14 rooms offer colorful decor and a few nice amenities, such as mini-fridges, plus they have shared outdoor balconies that overlook hotel grounds. A small pool, free daily breakfast, and free Wi-Fi add to its appeal, but many guests complain that the internet connection is spotty and that hot water is hard to come by. The property is a five-minute walk from the beach, but it’s far from shops and restaurants in the downtown area. Travelers looking to be within walking distance of town might prefer Hotel Belvedere – Playa Samara, though rates are typically pricier.  

Mamma Rosa Apartahotel

Mamma Rosa Apartahotel is a two-pearl property that appeals to young backpackers and budget travelers. The hotel has a prime location across the street from Playa Guiones, and offers free surfboard storage, breakfast, and Wi-Fi. Spartan rooms leave a lot to be desired — their decor is mismatched and dated and the water pressure is dismal, but the air-conditioning works well and safes are provided for storing valuables. The on-site surf school could be the biggest draw; it offers lessons and board rentals. On the downside, there’s no pool on the premises. Budget travelers looking for a property with a few more amenities might prefer Jungles Edge, though it’s much farther from the beach.
