Really great rooms and facilities, infinity pool is a great spot to relax. All food on the menu is amazing and communal dinner is a nice idea.

Best location around Santa Marta. Amazing place by the beach. Good variety of food for fair price. The staff are just amazing and make you feel as a family. Very helpful with the host but also with people around town. We did a charity event for feed the poor around Santa Marta organised by the hostel is was just amazing. I just recommend this place for anyone.

The owner Julia is amazing host, very kind, friendly, always ready to help, ful of information. Place itself is like a little heaven, with amazing view and scenery, very peaceful and mind resting. The hostel and furniture are new. The ambience is very nice and everything is also nicely decorated. We loved staying there and we didn't have any need to go to Minca since the village is very noisy and busy. They have also very delicious breakfasts and dinners. Location is on the hill from where you have perfect starting point to the most attractive hikes and waterfalls. Place was one of the highlights of Colombia. Highly recommended.

Lovely place with great, healthy food. The massage and free yoga was great! Also loved the pools and homemade chairs/sun beds etc. around the property. The free filtered water was also highly valued.

I have stayed in two other hostels in Santa Marta and this one was definietly The best. The staff is really friendly, it is really clean and The beds are perfectly designed for travellers needs - it has lamps, curtains & plugs. It is like having your little room inside of The room. The beds are also really big. The location in in The center. Nice kitchen, swimming pool & terrace. Great breakfast included. It is just a little bit more expensive than The cheapest options in Santa Marta and 100% worth it.

The staff were excellent, and gave us advice on where was safe to walk and where to avoid. The little pool outside of our room was a welcome bonus! The rooms were spacious and cleaned daily, a real luxury for a hostel! You can also store luggage here...
