EcoHostal Palmares Del Rio, hotel in Guachaca

Posada Ecoturistica Palmares Del Rio is located in Guachaca, 41 km from Santa Marta and 38 km from Taganga. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Free private parking is available on site.

Location next to the river was beautiful, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the flora and fauna around the hostel was amazing, it was a hidden gem tucked away from all the tourists. Its a shirt walk to the main road and as soon as you cross the road there is a moto taxi stand where you can catch a bike in Guachaca town. The buses also stop directly opposite the road that EcoHostal is down.

La Playita, hotel in Guachaca

Set in Guachaca, 45 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, La Playita offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Very nice hosts and staff and also really lovely dogs. Vicki prepares great meals for dinner and some days she and Toni play good electronic music at the bar, which is placed on a pirate ship. We loved the many great paintings and details like a canon on the ship. Besides, the kitchen was well equipped and clean and it was nice to have direct access to the river to cool down. We had a great time at the hostel, so that we extended our stay.

Magdalena Beach House, hotel in Guachaca

Boasting a restaurant, Magdalena Beach House is set in the sidewalk in Los Cocos. and also provides a bar and a garden. Guests can enjoy ocean and garden views.

We had a lovely overnight stay at Magdalena. The room was small but comfortable, and although there wasn’t any air conditioning the fan was powerful enough to cool there air enough to sleep well. The mosquito netting worked perfect against the constant presence of mossies. We couldn’t get the wifi to work in the room but in the sitting area of reception it was very quick. Breakfast was delicious with a choice of Colombian, granola or pancakes. The availability to constantly fill up your water bottles with fresh drinking water was a welcome extra. In the comments from others they have put the short walk off the main road to the accommodation as a negative but I think it was a positive as the main road is so busy and huge trucks go along all hours of the day and night. Being a couple hundred metres back means it is so much quieter than the other accomm around. We loved the walk along Palomino Beach which is just across the road too.

Rio Hostel Buritaca, hotel in Guachaca

Offering a barbecue and sun terrace, Rio Hostel Buritaca is located in Buritaca in the Magdalena Region, 49 km from Santa Marta.

Pleasantly surprised by this hostel. Thought it would be just good for partying but it had a really nice vibe and the restaurant was great. Stayed in the 25 person dorm and the beds were comfy with 2 big fans in each person and good mosquito nets.

    Had the larger dorm room with 4 bunk beds and hence it felt very spacious for 1 pax. Breakfast was yummy and the location is close to everything. Great that the staff spoke English as it helps, given my limited command of Spanish.

    Great location, very helpful staff. The individual rooms/pods and very nice. It is possible to use the facilities of the hostel next door (restaurant, swimming pool etc). There is a fan in the room to keep cool at night.

    Kind staff, great value, amazing pool, right at the beach, good and sufficient amenities. Would recommend booking the 10 bed jungle room rather than the one with 8 beds. A place for a peaceful stay but there are several other hostels in walking distance that you can go to for a party. Still, easy to meet other travelers!

    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.

    The staff was super nice and the food was really good! At least the ceviche and the hamburgers were top notch. The property is basic and simple but a lovely spot right on the beach, beautiful spot to walk up and down the beach and felt very safe. It is a very basic hostel. Fires at night are lovely.
