You can play table tennis at this hostel. El Rodadero Beach is 30 km from Ecolodge Playa Brava Teyumakke, while Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino is 24 km away. The nearest airport is Simón Bolívar International Airport, 36 km from the property. Beautiful (and hard) hike, beautiful location and everything just right for a hard to reach national park lodge. Great food, great staff, comfortable yet old cabanas. Very communal, great for backpackers as well as ex-backpackers that want a comfy private room :)

All private rooms are equipped with a ensuite bathroom. What a hostel! Love the remote location, very adventurous to arrive there by motocycle, the view and the place is very peaceful. The staff is so lovely, the 7 bedrooms are very confortable, the food is very good, they have a nice and complete menu and good price compared to other hostels! It's also stay a social place with a bar and music which stops at 10pm a reasonable hour ton then enjoy the beautiful sound of night life in the forest. As a remote worker I can tell the wifi is very performant and the working space is very nice. I would come back to stay longer! 100% recommend this hostel for 3 nights at least to rest, enjoy the waterfall walk and the birdwatching activity. They even have hot showers..

Calma Chicha is set on the beachfront in Santa Marta, a few steps from Guachaca Beach and 42 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. Located around 46 km from Santa Marta Gold Museum, the hostel with free WiFi is also 46 km away from Santa Marta Cathedral. Certain units at the property feature a balcony with a mountain view. The location is excellent, and they have one of the best breakfast restaurants on the beach (lunch and dinner are delicious as well). The beds are large and mosquito netting in perfect conditions. I spent a lot of time on the hammock just enjoying the breeze. There was an outlet near the bed to keep electronics charged and plug in the standing fan that is provided in the room.The bathroom was clean and spacious, great water pressure (idk if there was any hot water, never used it, as the weather is hot enough? )
