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.

The location next to the beach was fantastic. Play Brava was a very quiet beach and during the day you have the beach almost to yourselves. The food served wasn't the cheapest but it was very tasty and the staff we very kind and helpful. They provided towels and soap for the shared chalet. They also had a swimming pool which was great since the sea was too choppy to swim in. Beds were clean and comfortable for this kind of property.

Had the larger dorm room with 4 bunk beds and hence it felt very spacious for 1 pax. Breakfast was yummy and the location is close to everything. Great that the staff spoke English as it helps, given my limited command of Spanish.

Kind staff, great value, amazing pool, right at the beach, good and sufficient amenities. Would recommend booking the 10 bed jungle room rather than the one with 8 beds. A place for a peaceful stay but there are several other hostels in walking distance that you can go to for a party. Still, easy to meet other travelers!

The location is amazing!! So beautiful, with views of the jungle and the hills. There is múltiple places to chill, including pool, bath, net, swing and chairs. The food is amazing, definitely best hostel food I've ever had!! Its close enough to tayrona, el zaino entrance to walk (about 35 mins) plus some of it through the jungle which is beautiful. The staff were great, lots of volunteers who also speak English. We stayed in the hobbit room, outside shower and comfortable space.

Calm and refreshing place to chill near the jungle, early in the morning you can even see some monkeys ! The hosts are so nice, and will help you with everything. The bed was comfy, the sound of the rivier and the nature to fall a sleep. The food from the host is really good, and cheap. The rivier down the hostel is really good for swimming or chilling on the rock. There are some waterfall to visit and Tayrona entrance (El Zaino) is really close
