“Superb”

Cool place, met so many interesting and beautiful people. The staff was also amazing, especially Sofia from the bar who is the nicest bartender ever and even taught me how dance vallenato (or at least tried to😁)

Cacao Hostel is located in a residential neighborhood, which I liked a lot. It provides tranquility, but it is in walking distance from the old town. I liked the social area of the hostel, garden with the swimming pool, hammocks, bar, and kitchen. It's easy to find people to talk to, if you wish so. The staff is very friendly and helpful, all the receptionists working there and also volunteers. I really liked Mar, the volunteer from Peru, she is extremely friendly. She organized salsa classes and in general was very friendly to help with anything. I recommend staying in Cacao hostel, if you are in Santa Marta.

“Good”

Friendly and helpful staff; good breakfast & free coffee all day. Loved the laid-back vibe, spending time reading my book in the hammocks... I stayed in a 4-bed female only dorm, but as I was the only person in the room, I actually ended up with a 'private' room experience...

“Homey place with a love for loud music”

The volunteers Karl and Isadora are lovely people. Some stay on Cacao Hostel for a long time and it's easy to meet and talk with everyone at the bar/restaurant/ pool area. Breakfast/food was ok. The community kitchen is fairly equipped. It is a really short walk to the center, the hostel is in a residential area with little traffic.

“The best hostel in Santa Marta!”

The breakfast is amazing, beds are super comfy with great a/c so you can cool down and sleep well at night. Cacao has a really good atmosphere and I will be back for sure! A big thank you to Alicia, Lina, Melisa and everyone else at the hostel for making it such a great experience!

“Very good”

How friendly reception once, especially Alicia. Helped us out a lot in booking tours. Always a smile on her face. The rooms are spacious. Fully working kitchen and shower. Amazing pool and beautiful area to chill. Booked our lost city tour via them. You get 1 free night when you book via them. Same price as everywhere else. This place is amazing.
