To enter the property, you cross a little bridge across a lagoon, which made it feel like we were stumbling upon a hidden gem. And this hotel was a gem. Beach front location. Clean, spacious rooms. Air conditioning. We immediately felt so comfortable. The staff were also incredibly helpful, especially when we were trying to get a refund to tickets for Tayrona Park. We loved sitting on the balcony of our room and listening to the waves. There was a bit of shade on the beach, and the hotel provided chairs. The water was extremely calm, very suitable for swimming. The food at the restaurant was delicious and good value, and we enjoyed having breakfast included. We would definitely recommend this place for visitors who want to enjoy the beach in peace.

Perfect location just outside of Zaino entrance to Tayrona NP. The room was very comfortable - great aircon, comfortable beds, good shower. There was a nice balcony overlooking a river and the sound of the jungle and river was serene (hardly any noise at all from the highway and absolutely not a problem for me despite me being a light sleeper). There was also a great pool for cooling off and the staff provided beach towels in addition to bath towels. The staff were friendly and helpful, including storing our luggage for one night for free while we headed into the national park. Breakfast was great (served at 7:30am to give us time to get to the park entrance at 8am and dinner options were also good. Great value for money overall. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my friends and family.

Great apartment on 9th floor, facing west over Rodadero beach. Was bigger than expected, very clean and everything worked fine. Only stayed for 2 nights, never noticed anything lacking. Checking in was quick and easy. Has everything you need for a family, group or couple to enjoy a long weekend literally, directly, on the beach. Great view of the sunset and beach activities from balcony and nice cold a/c and comfy beds inside. When you return from the beach there is also a separate entrance you can use that has showers and change rooms to get the sand and salt off you before you head into the main building. In the kitchen there was even a little styrofoam cooler that I would pack with stuff from the tienda and bring to the beach with me. In fact, the kitchen seemed fully stocked with everything needed to cook meals, although I only used the fridge and the sink.

    Relaxing stay right on the beach. More of just a basic room, the place doesn’t have much of an atmosphere, but the views and the sound of the ocean is so calming. Restaurant just opening 2 doors down.. ‘El conche y nancar’ - best fish I’ve eaten in Colombia!

    Perfect location on the beachfront, the owners were friendly and did a fantastic job of sweeping sand out to keep it clean Able rent surf boards and surf within a short walk. Can watch the surfers from the hotel searst. It was still possible to swim in the wave, or go down to the river for calmer water and excellent views of the jungle All the hotels along the beach are pretty much the same but here the chairs out front were in the shade all day which wasn't the case for all of them which was a big bonus

    We stayed in a private room which was great. Good value for money. Basic but has everything you need. It’s 20 min drive out of the main part of Santa Marta, but we stayed here for a night to be closer to the airport and we were impressed with the location. Right on the beach, and the restaurant is well priced and good food! Amazing sunset views from restaurant too.

    Mendihuaca is such a beautiful hostel! It is in the perfect location, right on the beach with the surf school attached and delicious restaurants next door. The staff are lovely and made me feel at home, and everything is cleaned to perfection! I booked for 2 nights and stayed for 5!
