I had a great time basically sleeping outside in the jungle, cuddling their super cute dogs and eating the best Colombian food I had so far (try the aubergine with coco rice and Patacones or the coconut lemonade!). Everything is clean and the host is attentive and helpful.

Really chill spot next to a small and clean river to dip in , you can walk further up the road for a nice swimming spot, and its close enough to the main road to explore the surrounding area and beach. Everything is well kept and a good spot to relax.

It’s located in the middle of the nature There’s a river nearby The common area, a place to do yoga

“Finding paradise close to Tayrona Park Entrance!!”

When you arrive at Encanto Hostel you find the paradise! A peacful atmosphere implemented in the most beautyful garden I have ever seen! Directly located at the river where you can take a refreshing bath. If you follow the road up you can hike to a beautyful waterfall site. The Costeño beach and Tayrona Natinoalpark Entrance are close by and if you do the Lost City Treck the Jeep transfer can pic you up easily as the hostsl is on the way. For me it was the perfect stay at Encanto before and after doing the hike. The accomodation provides very cosy beds (surrounded by mosquito nets) in an open house - I had the best sleep with great a pillow, waking up in the morning accompanied by the beautyful sound of the tropical birds. Harold is the nicest host! He does everything to make you feel welcome and comfortable! The food cooked by two wonderful columbian ladies is so delicious!! Free coffee and tea are provided all day. Also very nice is that you can play pool billiard and pingpong for free! You can chillax in a hammock or use a gymnastics mat for doing yoga or exercises. The Wifi is excellent, I could do my remote work without any problem.

“Beautiful place next to the river.”

I liked the location, it was a bit of a walk to the beach and restaurants but I liked that it was in nature with a beautiful river to chill in. There is a pool table and table tennis, hammocks, and a bar and restaurant if you don’t want to leave. However I think more could be made of the space, some places to sunbathe or some seating/structure near/in the river to properly relax would be great!

“A place to refuel”

Encanto is like a hidden paradise in the jungle.

This is a gorgeous little escape to paradise in the jungle! Amazing host Harold really made me feel super welcome. Would definitely recommend for people who want a really nice comfy stay in the jungle with a beautiful walk to a waterfall jumping spot! 🔥

It's a good hostal. It's just not my sort of place. I stayed here the night prior to the Delmaralacima race for It's price and convenience. I prefer access to a kitchen but the food is good and reasonably priced. Order at the kitchen, pay at reception. The location is pleasant, in the forest and close to the river. The view from the hammock area is spoilt by the plot next door which is covered in junk. Even if you could use the kitchen there are no food shops around. Why do Colombian hostels and shops always struggle to give change of a 50,000 note!? I think this hostal prefers cards. My stay was marred by inconsiderate competitors on an earlier starting race who decided that as they had to be awake at 3am then everybody should be. Ignorant. Not the fault of the hostal of course. I would stay here again for one or two nights but any longer would become expensive as you have to buy all meals. The place is very well maintained and clean with large lockers. The WiFi was good in the evening but was out the morning of the race. Don't know how regularly that happens. I may do the race again next year and would book here again.

very relaxing, nice common area with strong WiFi and enough hammocks. Little paradise within the jungle, but still in walking distance to nice activities (river, beach). Helpful staff, open air dorm with good mosquito nets. In-house restaurant with good food (even though everything is fried and starts to get hard on the stomach after a few days).

The staff were amazing and very accomadating. They went out if their way for us. The food was great and the property was very beautiful! We didn't have a car and took the bus to get there and then got moto taxis to get to tayrona. fun games to play in the evening and a nice vibe

It's a pretty new, very nice place in the nature, next to a river where you can swim. Food is good, staff very friendly. The whole place very well maintained. All in all a clear recommendation.

2nd stay was even better. Met so many amazing Colombians. Beautiful place. Lovely animals 😍

Beautiful hostel in the jungle. Everything was super clean. Close to parque tayrona. I enjoyed the walk to the nearby waterfall even more. Amazing feeling to sleep in the jungle. Super friendly and helpful staff.

“Just Wow”

Everything about this place is an 'encanto'!!was supposed to stay 2 nights and ended up staying 4 and would have stayed longer if I could. Connecting with the nature thay surrounds you was just incredible.Needed time to go within and this was what I really needed. Staff are amazing too!there's something about this place...gracias

Socorro is a lovely woman always willing to help and guide you. Great food and outstanding place.

“Such a lovely hostel with great staff and amazing food. Right by a river which is super clear and really nice to swim in”

We loved the staff, facility and the river!

Encanto is a beautiful space, set in the rainforest. I loved my time there. It was so peaceful and tranquil. The food served at the restaurant was amazing! The facilities were very clean. They even have a projector you can watch movies on. Will stay again!

“Beautiful stay in nature”

The room is beautiful and directly on the river bank. The place is perfect to relax and enjoy nature. The staff and owner are lovely and always willing to make your stay perfect. We decided to stay more nights as planned because we loved it here. The food at their restaurant is delicious and with very good portions. The common areas are always clean and beautiful.

“Lovely jungle oasis stay!”

We had the best stay at Encanto! Harold was so welcoming and helpful and the hostel itself feels really new and clean. It’s a great spot to stay in to visit the waterfalls at Poza Encanta, Medihuaca beach and Tayrona Park - we also could leave our big rucksacks there whilst we were at the park which was super helpful. The food was also excellent - especially the coco rice and fruit from the garden, and the dogs were the cutest.
