Boasting a beachfront location, Playa del Ritmo Beach Hostel &Bar offers free Wi-Fi and 24-hour front desk assistance in Pozos Colorados beach, Santa Marta. El Rodadero beach is 2 km from the property. I LOVED this hostel, the beach was great without any waves, not a lot of people, very calm water. The breakfast was delish, the food and drinks sold at the bar were very good, a bit pricey but not too bad. I will stay here everytime I visit Santa Marta. Do keep in mind that it's like 15/20 min drive to the center of Santa Marta, but taxis are cheap.

Featuring a garden, a shared lounge as well as a terrace, Sana Mar Hostel & Eco-Café is located in the centre of Santa Marta, 700 metres from Bahía de Santa Marta Beach. The property is around 800 metres from Simon Bolivar Park, 4.5 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino and 7 km from Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. Honestly the best hotel/hostel I have stayed in Colombia in, till now. Where do I start? The manager and all the workers were truly helpful and looked like a small community / family and it made my stay truly comfortable and I was sad to leave. Also, I appreciated the kitchen upstairs to be able to make a tea (you can also cook), they washed my clothes and gave me quite a few recommendations. The quality price relation was great. I would totally recommend it and I regret not having stayed longer!!

Hostal Vista Verde Minca features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Minca. Providing a bar, the property is located within 19 km of Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. The accommodation provides room service and free WiFi.

Santa Marta Gold Museum is 22 km from the hostel, while Santa Marta Cathedral is 23 km away. Simón Bolívar International Airport is 29 km from the property. This hostel is a beautiful oasis of trees and nature, we loved looking out to sea at sunset and during the day chilling in the hammocks, spotting different birds all around you. Staff were friendly and happy to answer questions and set up a bird watching tour which we did one morning from the hostel. The room was spacious, had a mosquito net and the shared bathroom was cleaned every morning. It’s a short walk away from waterfalls.

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.
