Best location right by the sea. It's a bit of a hassle to get into town, but you can also take the bus or Uber. But you get peace and quiet and the sea.

The staff upon our arrival was great and kept the kitchen open so we could eat. The room was comfortable and provided a great stopping point before visiting Tayrona Park (the location couldn't be any better). They held our bags overnight while we ventured to the park and spent the night. The food was also delicious - large portions - Highly recommend to anyone!

This was an absolute surprise and perfect from start to finish. The family hosting this place is so loving and the place and the location just breathtaking! I started by reserving a room and then ended up sleeping on the last floor on just a mattress - so basic but the nature there is just incredible. steady waves and a bit of wind make it the perfect ambiance to sleep outside. No noise at all for cars as the place is located directly in front of the beach. I highly recommend you go there !

Location and facilities are excellent. Room was modern, clean and much larger than expected. Staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. For a foreign visitor, the amount of security is a bit unusual especially given I've never seen any trouble on visits to Colombia. Overall, the facilities exceeded my expectations and the price was less than a basic hotel room in London - unbelievable value for money but perhaps I visited in low season.

Everything. It’s managed by a family and they make you feel like their own family, very friendly and very helpful. They kept our bags for free until we go to Tayrona National Park and come back next day. Easy access to restaurants and beach. Helped us with getting around the city. I highly recommend them.

    Relaxing stay right on the beach. More of just a basic room, the place doesn’t have much of an atmosphere, but the views and the sound of the ocean is so calming. Restaurant just opening 2 doors down.. ‘El conche y nancar’ - best fish I’ve eaten in Colombia!

    Perfect location on the beachfront, the owners were friendly and did a fantastic job of sweeping sand out to keep it clean Able rent surf boards and surf within a short walk. Can watch the surfers from the hotel searst. It was still possible to swim in the wave, or go down to the river for calmer water and excellent views of the jungle All the hotels along the beach are pretty much the same but here the chairs out front were in the shade all day which wasn't the case for all of them which was a big bonus

    We stayed in a private room which was great. Good value for money. Basic but has everything you need. It’s 20 min drive out of the main part of Santa Marta, but we stayed here for a night to be closer to the airport and we were impressed with the location. Right on the beach, and the restaurant is well priced and good food! Amazing sunset views from restaurant too.
