La Vida Hostel is a cozy retreat that stands out in Samal Island. Ninio, the owner and artist, wowed us with his dedication and warm hospitality. The hostel feels like a live-in gallery, surrounded by nature's beauty.
Breakfasts here are fantastic – don't miss out on the French toast! The place has a chilled-out vibe that's perfect for kicking back after exploring the island. Plus, it's super close to Peñaplata town, making it easy to rent a scooter and go on an adventure.
If you're into art, good food, and friendly faces, La Vida is the spot. It's a simple, welcoming place that's ideal for soaking up the local scene. Definitely worth the stay!

The place is cozy. The breakfast is self-service. Although, the hostel is quite far from the city so you need to travel a bit. The bathroom is also small but if you are not that picky, this may not be an issue for you.

So the wife and I came across this place decided to visit as it is very close to us. Upon arrival found the staff very friendly and helpful , reception full of art in various forms which made it feel very relaxing , we booked in advance they have a very small and intimate resto again clean and tidy with the usual Philippine cuisine , food was very good and over all worth a visit if you want some peace and quiet from the city.

A small-scale hostel with a few rooms. The bad thing is that you find ants everywhere. Of course, you cannot blame the owner Ninjo for this, but it can be annoying. Apart from that we had a nice stay. The rooms are spacious and equipped with air conditioning and a hot water shower. You have to take into account that the power goes out regularly, say every day, but this is quite normal throughout the Philippines. The breakfast is fine but also simple. We had a great stay, but if you have high standards then this is not recommended. Luckily I like simple 😀
