Rooms were good size, bed very comfortable, view from the balcony was spectacular. The steam room in the spa was great as I haven't found many places in Colombia that have them. Pool area was nice though we didn't use it as we were only there one night. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

My wife and I staid here for her birthday. The property was very clean and the amenities were great. The staff provided us with contacts for transportation into Santa Marta and Rodadero. We never mentioned it was my wife's birthday to the staff, but on the morning of her birthday they came out with a cake and sang happy birthday to her. Can't recommend the hotel enough if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place to get away too for a vacation.

Rey and Yeimiz the couple running this place are absolute divine souls. Their positiv attitude and deep gratefulness for the living experience are truly inspiring. The energy of this place is just magic. Rey offers Shiatsu and other bodywork therapies. 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

Location and facilities are excellent. Room was modern, clean and much larger than expected. Staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. For a foreign visitor, the amount of security is a bit unusual especially given I've never seen any trouble on visits to Colombia. Overall, the facilities exceeded my expectations and the price was less than a basic hotel room in London - unbelievable value for money but perhaps I visited in low season.

    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

    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.

    Mendihuaca is such a beautiful hostel! It is in the perfect location, right on the beach with the surf school attached and delicious restaurants next door. The staff are lovely and made me feel at home, and everything is cleaned to perfection! I booked for 2 nights and stayed for 5!
