    Great hostel, very close to the center but also the market where you can find the main bus stop to Tayrona. The customer service at the hostel was amazing! They were very helpful. They also agreed to keep our bags when we went to Tayrona for 4 nights. The place was very clean. I highly recommend if you just need to sleep there a couple of nights on your way to Tayrona or Minca.

    The apartment is very spacious and has everything what you need. Kitchen is very well equipped. There is a balcony where you can have your morning coffee or an evening beer. Very flexible check-in and check out. Ricardo is a very good host, can give you a lot of tips about Santa Marta and surrounding. He takes care of every detail, helpful and answers quick on your questions. He also speaks very good English, what was very helpful as we don’t speak Spanish. He was traveller himself, so he really knows what guest need to feel home.
