    I got great value for my money at Cacao Hostel. The room was spacious and comfortable, with big lockers and good aircon. The location was convenient, and the staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    The food for breakfast could have been better, maybe more variety or options.

    The pool area was a great place to relax and soak up the sun. the breakfast options provided a nice variety and were tasty. We also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond to assist with organizing activities.

    The beds were uncomfortable, with sagging mattresses that made for a restless night's sleep. the location was a bit far from the downtown area, making it necessary to take a taxi at night for safety reasons.

The location was convenient, with a quiet street and nearby amenities like a supermarket and restaurants. The staff, especially Richard, were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable.

    The location was great, just a short walk from the main square and close to the Mercado. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially Veronica who was always ready to offer helpful suggestions for things to do in the area. The rooms were simple but cozy, and I felt right at home from the moment I arrived. The hostel had a relaxed and warm atmosphere, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. I highly recommend this hostel for a memorable stay in Santa Marta.

    For the price I paid, I definitely got my money's worth. The room was clean and comfortable, with great AC and a cozy bed. The location was convenient, especially being close to the bus terminal and within walking distance to the bus stops for Tayrona and Minca. The staff at the hostel were amazing, always friendly and helpful. Special shoutouts to Astonishing Astrid, Loca Lorena, Amazing Angel, and Mileidys for making my stay extra special. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience, from providing activity recommendations to helping me with paperwork. The hostel felt like a home away from home, and I found myself returning multiple times during my trip.

    If I had to point out one thing, it would be the breakfast. While the breakfast offered by the hotel was decent, there could have been more variety or options to choose from.

    Friendly and helpful staff who were always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. Clean and well-maintained facilities, including a pool, bar, and social areas. - Convenient location near the bus terminal and access to popular attractions like Parque Tayrona and Minca.

    The surrounding area felt a bit sketchy, especially when walking back to the hostel at night as a solo traveler. The beds were uncomfortable, with memory foam that made them feel too warm.

    I had a wonderful experience at Cacao Hostel. the atmosphere was great, especially in the common area with the pool. I wish I had more time to relax by the pool. the breakfast was simple yet delicious. I appreciated the air conditioning from 8pm-8am. the staff, especially Jessica, were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. They even took care of my backpack when I was away exploring Minca and Tayrona. Cons: No issues. 😊.

    The staff at the hostel were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our weekend stay. They were always available to answer any questions and provide recommendations. The location of the hostel was also very convenient, being close to the bus station and making it easy to plan trips to nearby destinations. the refreshing swimming pool was a great feature, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

    One drawback was the lack of organized group activities to encourage socializing among guests. It would have been nice to have some activities or events to bring people together.
