    Good thing is that the place is good to chill and enjoy the sea. Or just doing nothing as there is not much to do around and only one shop. We liked the staff and cozy atmosphere. But the we found the acommodation pricy compared to value of small room with fun and not very well equiped kitchen. Definitely there are opportunities to make the stay better, dix the stuff around and so. Prices in bar also seemed to us a bit high. A got a very tasty burger but had to wait an hour for it which made me angry. So overally a good place to relax for few days and spend some money on the bar, but for the prices would expect a bit better.

    Great hidden hostel with beach and watersports and bar!! Much better than any populated beach in town and feels untouched! Bar makes it a great experience as well and the turtle shaped mountain ⛰️🐢 Would come back here! great vibes from the work traders

    Amazing value for money directly on the beach! Prepare for mosquitos when the sun is not out.

    Cold shower, messed up booking, uncomfortable chairs, bad hamburgers and mediocre curry.

    Had a disappointing experience at the restaurant. Went for lunch and waited a long time for decent food but dogs were running around the place barking and bothering ( my interpretation) patrons. One guy finally put this dog on a leash but it sat there and continued to bark, the owner was oblivious . I can find a cheaper lunch with a more relaxing setting on the streets in town.. or you can spend the same and go to Donde Chucho I was just passing by on the beach so I know nothing of the hostel and their everyday running of the business. Hoping it was just a bad day for them

    There are lots of great reasons to stay at Playa del ritmo. If you are into ocean floating and like a calm sea, this place will certainly deliver. The restaurant has awesome options for all palates. Rooms are simple but very comfortable and the staff is truly there to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. There are lots of beach doggies who love to hang out, making one feel right at home. If you are looking for an inexpensive stay in paradise, this place will deliver

    Friendly staff, quite good location close to the airport. Basic rooms and breakfasts. During the day the restaurant gets busy so you have to wait a long time. Beach is okay, full of annoying sellers . Great spot to watch sunsets

    If the place is absolutely stunning, the workers are the 5 stars! Great for every occasion, a chill trip, family, friends, lovers or nothing, just you. Please go, the beach is one of the most beautiful in Santa Marta, and I’m pretty sure the people to. You won’t regret it and there are dogs!!! ❤️ thanks, I’ll be definitely coming back.

    If I could give this hostel six stars I would. I arrived feeling a bit ill so the worker, Catalina, ensured I was taken care of promptly. I felt like my sister was with me. She spoke in English, checked on me and ordered a doctor to my room at a late hour to make sure I was okay. I am forever grateful. This people who work at this hostel are wholesome and the simply the best. ❤️💙💜💛💚 Thank you

    perfect place to relax not far from Santa Marta, but without the masses of people like Rodadero. Really good restaurant, had one of the best pizzas and focaccias I ate in Colombia, rooms were with AC and really clean, cleaning was offered every day even in the dorms, stuff was friendly.. highly recommended!

    Great service. Very good food at reasonable prices. It's right next to the beach. Lots of lizzards and iguanas. You can take a taxi or the bus to get to anywhere in Santa Marta. Sometimes mosquitoes attack, you might want to take some repellent. The rooms with AC are a must for people who can't stand humidity and hot weather when resting. Good music!

    We stayed here on our way to and from the region. It’s a really nice place, close to the airport, beach access, good wifi, and simple but nice rooms. Staff are lovely and very welcoming. Only things to improve are the restaurant - lunch/dinner was very disappointing no matter what we tried, which is hard because there aren’t other options nearby. The shower also didn’t drain properly. But overall we really like it here and would come back in a heartbeat.

    I absolutely loved my stay at the hostel! I stayed in a private room that was perfect for work meetings. The WIFI was great and allowed me to easily have video meetings, which was a huge plus. And the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place was also very clean and safe, and I felt relaxed the entire time. It was the perfect place to be if I wanted to work remotely and change up my scenery. I would definitely go back again!

    I arranged a party for my fiance’s birthday. I rented a room and guaranteed a minimum of 90 beers consumed. I was told we could have the party and room until midnight. With more than 2 hours left before midnight we were told we had to leave because of one 8 year old child with us. When I arranged the party I made it clear that the 8 year old would be with us. They ruined the party that cost me more than 500k. My fiance and I got in to a fight over it. When someone arranges a party they don’t expect the location to change the deal that was arranged. Very unprofessional and very disappointing.

    Amazing and unique beach hostel with friendly reception staff, especially Carolina! She answered all my questions and personally wrote out directions to get to Santa Marta! Check in was easy, although I wish they had shown me around a bit more to know what was available for guests (kitchen, hammocks, outdoor shower, etc). Air conditioned shared habitation was comfortable but cold, the bed was really firm and the sheets are very sheer that I was thankful I had a sweatshirt and trousers to wear at night to keep warm! The shower is conveniently located as en suite although the hot water is limited and no toiletries offered incase you forget... the bar food is the best part!! With a wide variety menu and delicious dishes! I wanted to stay just to try more. The free breakfast is very generous And tasty. I’d recommend to stay here for a couple nights for a relaxing beach trip!

    The location is great and you'll have access to a shower and toilet. But the food and service are poor, it takes for ever for them to prepare a simple snack.

  • 5/5 Nathaly B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is simply magical. The location is great, Cabo tortuga is one of the best beaches in the area. The food is phenomenal and the rooms are just enough. The staff is super kind, I’m definitely coming back.

    Nice place, 20,000 pesos entrance but that covers 20,000 worth of food or drinks only problem we had that day was there was a hour wait for food. Anyway beach is lovely and so is the water also we enjoyed a great day here. There is a hostel attached which looks great also nice vibe about the place.

    My experience was a day pass or pasadía in Spanish. You pay a $6 fee that you can spend at the place. Very dynamic service. Clean. We had fish for lunch which is brought from the outside. I will stick with their food next time. Great lemonades and fruit smoothies.

  • 5/5 Marcela Liberato L. 1 year ago on Google
    It was an unexpected trip and I felt kind of scared, but Aleja and the staff team made me feel at home (they are always willing to help). I truly had amazing experiences on that beach (incredible views) also the room was just perfect, everything was so clean and comfortable... I'm waiting to come back ASAP! (Just a little reminder: take some mosquito repellent because sometimes those become a nightmare!!!) Enjoy your time here and taste every dish! ☺️☺️☺️
