I love Viajeros in general, but this one is a very good location and facilities. The building is modern, the staff is super friendly, the activities are fun. The staff, Alejandro, was super welcoming and helped with any questions.

Incredible value for money. Great location, close to restaurants and shops, to the beach and close enough to the street market. Owner and the person working there were very lovely.

Sana Mar has become an absolute haven for me, and staying there for the second time only deepened my appreciation for what makes this place so special. From the moment you arrive, it feels personal, cozy, and thoughtfully created—a true sanctuary from the loudness, intensity, and heat of Santa Marta. What stands out most is how deeply Justin, the owner, genuinely cares. His commitment to sustainability is not just a label—it is woven into the daily life and philosophy of the hostel in ways that are both meaningful and inspiring. From composting and recycling systems to the use of eco-friendly products, cleaning with vinegar instead of harsh chemicals, environmentally conscious soaps, brown recycled toilet paper, and countless other intentional details, it is clear that every aspect of Sana Mar has been designed with care, responsibility, and environmental consciousness in mind. This is the kind of place where sustainability feels authentic rather than performative. Justin’s thoughtfulness is visible everywhere, creating an atmosphere that is not only welcoming but deeply aligned with values of care—for guests, for the planet, and for the overall experience of peaceful living. Sana Mar is more than just a hostel; it is a refuge. A calm, mindful, and beautifully curated space that offers comfort while proving that hospitality and sustainability can coexist seamlessly. I am incredibly grateful for places like this, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, eco-conscious stay in Santa Marta.
