Palmario Hostal  

On Santa Marta’s coast in Guachaca—a beachfront hostel steps from Playa de Mendihuaca and a short walk to the Enchanted Pools, with Tayrona National Natural Park and Costeño Beach about a 10-minute drive away.

A recently renovated, chill hostal with garden views and just four guestrooms, Palmario mixes social vibes with tranquil green spaces—expect communal hangouts, picnic spots, and daily receptions to meet fellow travelers.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and take the complimentary beach shuttle to surf and sand, unwind with on-site massages, or grab a drink at one of two beach bars; the property also offers a garden, picnic area, laundry, and a 24-hour front desk.

Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected, plus there’s parking, transfer service options, and tour/ticket assistance for planning excursions.

Full breakfasts are served daily (for a fee) from 8:30–10:00, with coffee and tea in the common area and refreshing drinks available at the two beach bars.
