Our room ( actually it was an apart with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom) was spacious. I loved the high ceilings. They kept our luggage when we visited tayrona. The breakfast was very good, with many options (and a vegan option). The location was in the middle of a center, but at the same time we felt very safe. The staff was very helpful and kind.

Located in the centre of Santa Marta, 600 metres from Bahía de Santa Marta Beach and 200 metres from Santa Marta Cathedral, Hostel paradise St offers free WiFi and air conditioning. This guest house is 5.1 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino and 7.1 km from Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum. The property is set in the Centro Historico district.

What a great place! Ideal location- step out the door into the pedestrian zone. I stayed in a large, private room with 2 King beds, with bathroom and A/C. Bed very comfy. Very clean! A large bathroom sink; I appreciated having a fridge...all the coffee I could drink, and hot water for tea (at the reception). The room was very quiet overall - I did not need earplugs! (there will always be a certain level of noise anywhere you stay in Latin/South America in my experience). The receptionist was always "a pendiente". Highly recommend!

    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

    The location right on the beach is great - it’s right on the sand and there’s a fun surf spot two minutes walk away. The accommodation is four bedrooms that back onto a bar which is probably the best bar on that stretch of beach- great cocktails and good music (it can be a little loud at night). The staff don’t speak much English but are friendly and courteous. They gave us a welcome pina colada on arrival which was delicious! The accommodation is basic - BASIC - but Cactus Hostel grew on us as it’s so relaxed you can’t help but chill out :)

    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.

    Everything was very comfortable, the owner is very welcoming and take a good care of his hostel. We highly recommend the “deportivo” massage done by Rey, which is amazing value for the money, feeling relaxed, refreshed and it’s perfect for sore muscles. The breakfast is nice and the staff takes good care of you, providing a mosquito net for the night, it was very helpful. Perfect location on the beachfront! The view on the 2nd floor terrace with hammocks is the cherry on the cake.

    The owner is absolutely lovely. It’s a new business and she’s clearly very passionate about it and making your stay as good as possible, going out of her way in lots of little ways more established places wouldn’t. The location is fantastic, right on the beachfront and the dorm window is just metres from the shoreline - that’s pretty special. It’s a quiet little place with not many backpackers, so a welcome respite from palomino. You can hop in the river next door for a swim, and watch the sunset and sunrise. A great little stay!
