Less than 1 km from Santa Marta Cathedral and a 13-minute walk from Santa Marta Marina, the property offers a garden and a terrace. There is a restaurant inside the hotel open for guests and general public. This hostel is amazing! Much more like a hotel. Lots of social space and activities every night - but it really does depend on the night how busy/ quiet it is in the evenings! Rooftop pool awesome. Rooms super big and clean, curtains for privacy on bed pods and nice staff, food at the restaurant ok too.

Masaya Casas Viejas

Minca

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.

Magdalena Beach House

Los Naranjos

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.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. Very nice and helpful people who work here. The hotel is surrounded by forest and located a 4-minute walk from the road and 10 minutes from the beach. There are shops and a restaurant along the road. Buses run to and from Tayrona National Park every 20 minutes. The ride also takes a few minutes. The room was clean and spacious with a view of the forest and ocean. An oasis of peace after busy Cartagena. Breakfasts (I chose Colombiano) were prepared immediately before each meal with fresh ingredients. A real treat. I highly recommend this place.

I was in doubt when I found out how far from Minca this location is (from Minca bus terminal 45min by moto) but it was one of the best decisions and favorite stays in Colombia! Staff was very kind (Doris and two girls on their workaway, thank you for everything!), I was lucky enough that on the 1th night I was the only one in the dorm (which btw offers amazing view over Sierra Nevada!), food was really good, place is quite,... so make sure you will come for more than one night :)
