    A bit further from the centre but ideal place if you are planning to visit other places near Santa Marta like Taganga, Minca or Palomino. Nice, clean rooms, lots of places to hang around and good pool area.

    The beds were very hard, like sleeping on concrete! The hostel also played crazy loud music until midnight every night even if there was nobody left in the bar. They did turn it down when we asked, though.

    The food was amazing. Reasonably priced, huge portions and very delicious! Just what we needed after a few days in the Tayrona park hiking. Nice pool, well stocked guest kitchen and comfortable chill out areas. Big clean private rooms and clean bathrooms.

    Could have done with some more seating around the pool. Wouldn’t say it’d be a great place to meet other solo travelers.

    Lovely pool, our triple room was perfect and very comfortable. Curry for dinner was really good and great margaritas

    Not much to say here

    Very nice hostel. Good location for easy access to the city (just a short taxi ride away). Busses to Tayrona and Palomino and close to a big mall, which is nice to have. The staff were absolutely amazing. Always happy and helpful and went out of their way to help. Really good food in the kitchen and at good prices. The vibe was really good and the place was lively will music every day. All around just a great experience. We didn't go on any of the trips they arrange, but heard from some other people in the hostel, that they were really nice as well. Cannot recommend it highly enough 😊

    The beds were very hard for us, but some people like this. One morning at 07AM, (wedensday in the easterholiday) there were some locals outside our room that sang karaoke very loud

    Very helpfull and bilingual personell. They were always available and in a good mood. The fasilitys were very nice. They had a great pool for cooling down and volleyball. There were a lot of hammock for chilling and much space in the common area. There were also a lot of games you could play, like chess, jenga etc... They also arranged several Tours.

    Slightly further out from the central city though an easy taxi ride into the town, and staff very happy to call a taxi.

    A great hostel. Beautiful when you arrive with the pool in the centre. Rooms are comfy with large lockers for every bed. Laura is great for organizing activities and getting everyone involved. All the people working there are super friendly and helpful. All payments for bar/food on wristband which is very handy.

    The music style and quality varies. Sometimes it's great and laid back, sometimes it's Spanish upbeat disco pop in the early afternoon, which is annoying.

    Lovely place to relax

    nothing really, the location was a little out the way but the buses to the centre are plentiful plus there is a supermarket at the end of the road. so you are well catered for.

    everything! like they say it's like an hotel! it has all the amenities and facilities you can think of with a very chilled vibe, nice swimming pool, very helpful and friendly staff who remember your name which is a nice personal touch. also very fairly priced for what you get and good food as well. highly recommend!

    The rooms are al fresco (no air), but a dip in the pool or quick shower B4 bed is all you need to cool off.

    At first I thought the location was a issue, but it's sooooo easy to take the bus anywhere you want (just be sure to get several 2k pesos for those trips). A nice Olympica store is a short walk away as is a nice mall where a huge Éxito store is located.

    it is far from the center so if you want to have the lively experience of being in Santa marta probable not the best option. however to go to Tayrona it’s the perfect location

    very nice areas to chill and the pool is great. staff is also friendly and they organize tours

    There was a cockroach in our room. We made a mistake of booking here the night before doing the lost city trek. 🙈 It's a great place if you want to get drunk, but the music goes on REALLY loudly until the early hours of the morning.

    Really good place to meet other travellers and there appears to be lots going on. The common areas are great and they have a decent sized kitchen. We only stayed for one night so can't comment too much as didnt really get to use a lot of the facilities.
