The place is amazing, you can reach it within a quarter of an hour by boat from the town of Bahia Solano and it is absolutely worth it to enjoy the tranquility of the bay, the sea, spot whales and listen to their song.
The transport from the airport to the hotel is very well organized, the owner himself took care of organizing everything and made sure that everything went well at every step.
The staff is really helpful, kind and available at any time.
The food is simple but very good and whenever it is available, you can enjoy the excellent fresh fish of the day.
The location is the strong point of Choibana. Far from the town of Bahia Solano, it is like having a private beach, far from the light pollution to see the stars at night and far from the noise of the many boats crossing the bay, it is literally possible to immerse your head underwater and hear the whales singing. With a bit of luck the whales enter the bay and it is possible to spot them from the window of the room (keep in mind that not all rooms overlook the sea).
Featuring mountain views, Hostal Adrimar is located in Bahía Solano, around less than 1 km from El Almejal Beach. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking.

The place is very isolated and accessible by 2h hike on the beach. Even more there you got a Mirador this is the place to be in El Valle if you're looking for rest, tranquility or unusual experience.
Moreover Doña Ne is taking care of you as wanted.

I really loved that they organized a Tuk tuk from the airport and I got a message form the driver the day before. The location was very close to the beach, where you can go sunbathing and swimming during the day and surfing or watch surfing in the evening, when the tide comes in. The lounge area on the top floor was a lovely way to spend the evening - reading, surrounded by nature.
The hostel organizes tours and homemade meal service that you order a bit in advance, so there is no need to go elsewhere if you do not want to. The staff was friendly and helpful, and let me practice my Spanish. :) The bar is a gathering spot in the evenings, to have a drink and chat with locals, which was really fun. On the evening when I did not go there it was not loud at all, to be in the room and go to sleep.
The water in the kitchen is potable.
Set in El Valle, Hostal Bahía Solano Herping has a shared lounge. The property features garden and quiet street views, and is 90 metres from Playa El Almejal.

I stayed at Mailers Hostal for 2 weeks. It’s in a great location. Perfectly positioned halfway between the beach (where you can surf) and the town (where the supermarkets and restaurants are). There is a kitchen that you can cook in, meaning you save money on eating out.
Mailer organises tours and is really knowledge about the area so you can ask him for all the local tips to enjoy el valle to its fullest!
The hostel is a lot better value than the hostels on the beach and he really makes you feel welcome and like his house is your house!

Located in El Valle, Hakuna Matata Ecolodge offers beachfront accommodation a few steps from Playa El Almejal and provides various facilities, such as an open-air bath, a garden and a bar.
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
It was an amazing experience, full immersion in the nature. You can only reach this gem by boat.
Waking up with the sound of the waves.
Fresh fish every meal.
We did various tours organised by the staff.
Adrian and Lina are wonderful, always ready to help and share their knowledge with us.
They organised for us the whale tour, we saw the whales and the dolphins as well, it was breathtaking.
There are 3 dogs and a beautiful cat in the hostal, super sweet.
My stay at Paraiso Escondido was great. Located directly on the beach, where there are only a few accommodations, it is simply a beautiful place. There is a lot to do: Whale watching, hikes in the jungle, releasing turtles. The great hostess Yussi helps you with the organization and cooks wonderfully on the side. Well done!
The energy of the place as soon as you land on the beach infront of the hostel attracts you and you soon wish you could stay there longer than planned. Very clean facilities, very comfortable and homey place. Staff with big heart and in you can feel they put alot of love and effort in the hostel. Loved the tiny details that made the place feel like home. Delicious food and chef using fresh ingredients every day (fish in a million ways). Lots of hikes and activities to do around. Thanks Adrian and the team for this beautiful experience:)
The location of the hostel in front of the beach, the cleanness of the place, the services offered by the hostel, and the family environment created by Adrian and Lina.
Great hostel.
First things first: Jimmy is a great host! Such an amazing and lovely guy! Genuinely cares about his guests. No matter what’s the question, he is happy to help!
The location is right at the beach front and close to everything that the town has to offer (which is: Activities on water).
Don’t expect windows or doors (at least none to the bathroom), but you can expect a clean and solid accommodation.
We felt very much welcome and safe!
Booked a cheaper room originally, asked for an upgrade when I arrived since they had some available. The room was nice enough, and staff help for for organising taxi.
My favourite place in Colombia. The hostel is perfectly situated on a beautiful beach and run by Adrian and Lina who are very kind and always on hand to help. They offer trips to see the waterfalls, turtles and, most importantly, to go whale watching. The dorms are clean, comfortable and well presented. I'd recommend Mr Jerry to anyone wanting a glimpse of paradise.
It’s a cosy and sociable hostel where it’s easy to meet other people.
We liked the communal dinners and the communal areas are lovely to hang out in.
The staff was very helpful in getting our activities booked while the internet was out in the entire area.
The beach is stunning as well and there’s great snorkeling.
