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.

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. This is a hostel directly located on a beautiful beach about 15km from the historic centre of Santa Marta and approximately half way between the airport and downtown Santa Marta. My room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed, efficient fan and excellent bathroom facilities. The hostel was quiet at night so I always had a good night’s sleep. The staff at the hostel was courteous and helpful and some were English speaking. The hostel included a casual beach front restaurant that served excellent meals that were fresh and delicious and included several vegetarian options. I would definitely stay here again when in the Santa Marta area.
