We stayed in a beautiful cabin, with lots of space, a fan, and a good mosquito net. The owners are extremely sweet. The owners wife went out to buy food to cook for us in the evening, and the included breakfast was great. The cabins are just a 10 minute walk from the Tayrona park main entrance. It was a great place to rest after two days in the park.

Such a kind family who will go out of their way to help you with whatever you need.

Great!!

    Victor is a very friendly host and really takes his time for his guests. The streets around are really quiet which is a big plus in Santa Marta. The breakfast is delicious and cheap, they have washing services which are also fast and cheap. It is not a not a big hostel with a lot of partying guests. Airconditioning works good and there is semi-warm water in the shower which is also a big plus im Santa Marta. The WIFI works constantly and is good enough to do video calls on.

    Really nice hostel - great location, really nice brekkie and good facilities in our room (aircon, comfy bed, nice bathroom and shower, netflix etc). The room was pitch black/pretty quiet when we wanted to sleep and we had a nice door/window/balcony thing that we could open up to the street below
