You can play table tennis at this hostel. El Rodadero Beach is 30 km from Ecolodge Playa Brava Teyumakke, while Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino is 24 km away. The nearest airport is Simón Bolívar International Airport, 36 km from the property. Absolutly worth the trek. I recommend this to alone or in pair. I do recommend the mototaxi, it will save your energy for the other half. Great food, starink wifi at defined hours, and if you want to avoid the massive tourism on the side from Cabo to Zaino, this place is absolute heaven. There are also 2 resident dogs.amazing the way they can guide you through the jungle, treat them well and they will care for you.

Boasting a beachfront location, Playa del Ritmo Beach Hostel &Bar offers free Wi-Fi and 24-hour front desk assistance in Pozos Colorados beach, Santa Marta. El Rodadero beach is 2 km from the property. I LOVED this hostel, the beach was great without any waves, not a lot of people, very calm water. The breakfast was delish, the food and drinks sold at the bar were very good, a bit pricey but not too bad. I will stay here everytime I visit Santa Marta. Do keep in mind that it's like 15/20 min drive to the center of Santa Marta, but taxis are cheap.
