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. The peace and beauty of this beach deserves at least two nights. We were mostly served by Ruth and Kevin and they were incredible. It’s evident that everyone cares about their job and the experience of their visitors. We spent one night in a cabin and another in a hammock; both experiences were lovely and memorable. We took a moto taxi from Calabazo to the point where the descent starts and hiked down the mountain in 1h30min. This hike and place set us off onto a trip we will never forget.

All private rooms are equipped with a ensuite bathroom. The hostel is amazing and one of the best we have stayed at. The pool, restaurant and rooms are all amazing and perfect to relax around. We stayed in a private room which was extremely comfortable and had huge windows looking out into the mountains. The shower also looked out into the forest and had good temperature and preassure. The staff were all very smiley and extremely helpful. The food and drinks were all very good and they had some very cute pets on the property.

Boasting a beachfront location, Playa del Ritmo Beach Hostel &Bar offers free Wi-Fi and 24-hour front desk assistance in Pozos Colorados beach, Santa Marta. El Rodadero beach is 2 km from the property. Amazing hostel on the beach, Carolina was great and helped me enter the room at 1pm (Gabriela didn't allow me even though hostel was almost empty, but that's fine, you can leave your bags at reception and chill on the beach). Great wifi, delicious food at their restaurant, cool vibes. Lot of options to reserve, I stayed in dorm of 4 beds, good AC and both nights ended up alone in the room. Kind staff, very clean, good beach- almost no waves(explore on the right, over the rocks - there is a private beach for you). Will definitely come back!

The friendly atmosphere in beautiful surroundings inside Tayrona Park. Thanks Johnny and Manuel for your hospitality! Stayed two nights in room 1 and it was great! Loved waking up to the sounds of howling monkeys and birds. Lots of macaws, very entertaining with the dogs. I would love to come back. The location was inside the park. We took the collective minivan to the beach (5000cop), some walked but as we were hiking later we preferred this cheap transport. We opted for a horseback ride to Cabo and it was just us two plus the guide and it was a very pleasant relaxed ride..(60000cop).
