“great hostel if you want to visit tayrona”
great food, view from the pool, helpful staff, good proximity to tayrona and easy to get there from santa marta and back, private rooms with the views are amazing but can get very hot as no aircon

“Decent stay but overpriced”
We enjoyed the location, close to the entrance of Tayrona Park. The views from the hostel over the valley are great! The infinity pool is smaller than anticipated but has amazing views. The private room was small but comfortable bed and nice to have AC in the heat! The inclusive breakfast was nice (avo / eggs on toast etc) and the lunch/ dinner menu was also good and generally varied. The hostel has a tour desk which is handy and there is also a laundry service.

“This place was a real highlight of our honeymoon! Such a special place.”
We stayed here on our honeymoon and it was one of our favourite places! Our Lovers Paradise hut was a real highlight, with it's incredible views for such a reasonable price. This hostel might be one of the best ones we've ever stayed in! The location is great, 5 mins on a bus to Tayrona National Park entrance, or 20 min walk. Staff all really friendly! Great atmosphere. Great food and great cocktails. Pool table and really nice communal spaces. And the pool is just wow! We watched some beautiful sunsets whilst enjoying the happy hour cocktails. If you are visiting the Tayrona National Park this is the perfect spot to stay at! (They even held our extra bags for a night for us to sleep in the park)
