    Our room felt more like an apartment, and the pool area and restaurant with a sea view were stunning. The staff were incredibly helpful and spoke English fluently.

    The breakfast selection could have been better with more variety.

    The location of the hostel is great, with a nice view of the beach from some rooms and a convenient private beach area. The communal areas, such as the terrace and pool, are clean and enjoyable. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing suggestions for activities in the area.

    Some guests mentioned that the rooms were uncomfortable and noisy due to wind and windows banging.

    The hostel's location was excellent, with a quiet atmosphere and being situated right in front of the beach. It was a great escape from the crowded areas. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, always willing to assist with tour bookings and providing recommendations for activities in the area. The bar on the rooftop was a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the sunset, providing a beautiful view of the surroundings.

    The nearby beaches weren't the nicest ones, but this can be subjective based on personal preferences. The functionality of the rooms could be improved, as there were no hooks or means to easily hang towels or other items.

    The value for money at Cantamar Beach was excellent! The room was cozy and comfortable, and I loved the relaxed atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations and assistance with tours and transportation. The beach was beautiful and not overcrowded, and the pool was always clean and inviting. The proximity to the airport was also a plus. I'll definitely be back for a day of relaxation before my next flight.

    The only thing that could make breakfast better at the hostel would be a wider selection of items.

    We had an amazing time at Cantamar Beach! The private beach with sunset views from the hammocks was breathtaking. The staff were incredibly friendly and happy, and the hostel's style and atmosphere were top-notch. The bar served drinks at reasonable prices, and the clean, spacious swimming pool was a great addition. The rooms were massive and clean, with excellent air conditioning. The hostel also offered a sailboat tour to a beautiful beach in Tayrona Park, which was a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend staying here for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

    No complaints! 👍

    I had the most incredible time at Cantamar Beach! The communal area had breathtaking views and the 2nd-floor terrace was the perfect spot to relax with great wifi. The private beach area was a convenient bonus. The food was delicious and definitely worth the money. The staff, especially Jesus in the kitchen and Luis at the reception, were lovely and attentive. I highly recommend this hostel for an amazing stay in Santa Marta.

    We had an amazing time at Cantamar Beach! The former hotel turned hostel offers all the comforts of a hotel at a great price. The clean pool and rooftop bar provided the perfect setting for breathtaking Caribbean sunsets. The staff were super helpful and helped us arrange activities, like a memorable sailing trip on their boat. The small private beach area, complete with a river to wade across, gave us access to a beautiful stretch of beach. Cantamar Beach exceeded our expectations for a tranquil and affordable stay.

    Nothing bad to say about Cantamar Beach! 😊
