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. 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.

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? )
