The staff and owners are incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay the best. Their cute and well-behaved animals were a big plus! The hostel is clean, the beds comfortable and the aircon great (and necessary). Delicious breakfast. Good wifi! Located in a calmer part of Santa Marta with fewer restaurants, although close to the beach. A bit noisy during the evenings due to the traffic outside. Ideal for people traveling in groups or in pairs.

Felix is a super great host! It is not the typical hotel, it is like staying with a family. I used it mostly, to visit the Tayrona national park. Felix and his friends were super helpful about planning everything, for taking the bus and keeping some stuff, while I was hiking in the park. The bus is just leaving two minutes away from the place and just costs 8000 COP, for go to the park. For me it was an amazing stay, Felix and his friends are super friendly and so helpful and flexible!

What an amazing experience, somewhere between Hostel and Homestay. The location is quiet and off the beaten path, yet barely a 5 minute walk to the main beach. I was welcomed in by name at the door (there were no other guests expected to check in that night). I was working while there and would be regularly offered whatever juice of the moment the family was making, ginger tea, to join then for lunch, etc. they wee understanding that I was working for many hours throughout the day and offered me a personal fan, moved a table around and whatnot to accomodate offering me an outdoor workspace even though there was one in my room. The place was spotless and the private room I upgraded to had four pillows on the bed, I hadn't been so comfortable in all my weeks in Columbia! The hammocks and chill space was perfectly spacious, with a quiet option on the rear balcony away from others with a view of the mountains. The hosts set me up with a local guide Pocho for a swim and fishing walkabout through the mountains, he was a naturopath and offered a massage and treating my injured knee. The whole experience was a blessing. The restaurant suggestion was so spot on that I went there for every dinner and wish that there was such a well priced option in the other cities I visited. Im so grateful my AirBNB fell through and that I landed here instead!!

La ubicación. La cocina comunitaria lacks proper utensils, sauce pan and pots are ten years old or worst. No coffee maker, no knives, no tweezers, but worst af all no knives. In fact, there is only a small a couple of years old knife that somebody left. A regular 2" gas lighter is there for you to introduce the hand close to two excelent burners that burns ouir hands. Kitchen ceiling light does not work, water faucet is loose and no soap for dishes. The promoted terrace to look over the sea ys not properly suited for seating. The location is what makes this place great. however is not an experience that exceeds our expectations. Thanks!
