Daniela and all the staff were super helpful, friendly and accommodating. The hostel has a water filter system and you can drink water from the sink, that was a big plus.

I stayed in one of the individual cabins and it was beautiful. You can see the garden with hummingbirds flying around at the back and the sea out the front where there is a hammock to relax. It really is as nice as the pictures, perhaps even...

All the water being drinkable is amazing, as was the staff, hammocks and the chill areas. Being able to rent a surfboard/body board is also a nice touch. As is being able to organize tours through reception. Seeing whales from the main building is...

Everything about The Pelican House is top notch, starting and ending with the lovely human beings meeting you with open arms the minute you arrive. A few steps from the ocean, this house quickly becomes home. Comfortable. Clean. Safe. Warm.

Property info

We are an Hostel located on one of the most beautiful beaches of the Pacific Coast of Colombia: El Almejal beach in El Valle, a small town near Bahia Solano. The hostel lies right between the jungle and the incredibly beautiful Pacific Ocean. You can therefore walk right onto the beach directly in front of the hostel or enjoy the local flora and fauna in the jungle with a tour. We have areas to rest and relax where the sounds (and view!) of the ocean and jungle meet each other, creating an incredible experience. There are three shared rooms. Two for six people, and one for four people. We also have one private room, our “Pelican Suite” with his own bathroom and shower. In The Pelican House you can use a fully furnished kitchen to cook your own food. We have excellent contacts with local tour operators that we know and trust; with them you can go to see whales (from June to November), do bird watching, take a boat tour to Utria National Park (where you can see mangroves and do snorkeling), visit indigenous communities on a day trip inland, visit one of the many beautiful waterfalls nearby and a lot more….
