You can play table tennis at this hostel. El Rodadero Beach is 30 km from Ecolodge Playa Brava Teyumakke, while Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino is 24 km away. The nearest airport is Simón Bolívar International Airport, 36 km from the property. The way to the hotel is easy of you take motorcycle - the you just go down. On the way back it can be a bit challenging though. Hotel is really nice and chill, not many people so you can really enjoy and relax. They give sunbeds and hammocks, swimming pool is pretty big. Food is good but if you eat a lot you may ask for double portion as they are little small. Prices are not so bad if you consider the place and how difficult is to get there. In the morning we saw monkeys!

Offering a terrace and views of the garden, Masaya Casas Viejas is set 30 minutes away from Minca in the Magdalena Region by 4x4 or motorcycle, and 12 mi from Santa Marta. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar with a terrace.

All private rooms are equipped with a ensuite bathroom. I was worried we would be too remote from the hub in Minca to really enjoy the area, especially after experiencing the road up to the hostel, but I was wrong. Everything we needed was right there. We were more than happy to hike to all the things we wanted to see but you could just as easily take a moto or 4x4. The food was great. The people were even better. We really didn’t want to leave.

I like Colombian food but after months of traveling in SA I was very grateful for delicious granolas with yoghurt - interior of the hostel was clean, nice, spacious and I feel like home

The location is right at the beach with this part of the town being a perfect mix between something happening and still being super relaxed and quiet. I felt like part of the family and town after just a few days <3

Calma Chicha is set on the beachfront in Santa Marta, a few steps from Guachaca Beach and 42 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. Located around 46 km from Santa Marta Gold Museum, the hostel with free WiFi is also 46 km away from Santa Marta Cathedral. Certain units at the property feature a balcony with a mountain view. You can't beat the location if you want to sleep on the beach or need to unplug. It's a small fishing/surfing village, with a touristic twist. The waves are quite intense so swimming may or may not be a good idea depending on the waves. We enjoyed watching the fisherman putting the boats in the water in the morning, the whole community comes to help. Don't expect a 5 star hotel with all the amenities, this isn't it. It's a wonderful little spot on a beautiful beach. The internet works. It's accessible by bus and a half a mile walk (or moto ride). It's also a short bus ride to the entrance of Tayrona Park. We absolutely loved sleeping with the sound of the waves.
