The location is excellent, and they have one of the best breakfast restaurants on the beach (lunch and dinner are delicious as well). The beds are large and mosquito netting in perfect conditions. I spent a lot of time on the hammock just enjoying the breeze. There was an outlet near the bed to keep electronics charged and plug in the standing fan that is provided in the room.The bathroom was clean and spacious, great water pressure (idk if there was any hot water, never used it, as the weather is hot enough? )

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We had the best stay at Encanto! Harold was so welcoming and helpful and the hostel itself feels really new and clean. It’s a great spot to stay in to visit the waterfalls at Poza Encanta, Medihuaca beach and Tayrona Park - we also could leave our big rucksacks there whilst we were at the park which was super helpful. The food was also excellent - especially the coco rice and fruit from the garden, and the dogs were the cutest.

    I loved that the top bunks have stairs. The design of the hostel was beautiful, so many places to lounge. The pool was also great. Food was good but limited options and a bit pricey. The staff were all so lovely.

    Honestly one of the nicest hostels I have ever stayed in! Everything was immaculately clean, the host was so lovely and the staff helpful. Such sweet animals too. Next to the river, a short walk to Poza Encantada, the beach and a 10 minute driver to Lost City or Tayrona Park. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

    The staff was super nice and the food was really good! At least the ceviche and the hamburgers were top notch. The property is basic and simple but a lovely spot right on the beach, beautiful spot to walk up and down the beach and felt very safe. It is a very basic hostel. Fires at night are lovely.
