Staff was ok when we arrived but the guy in the morning was not helpful providing us a cab. More than that, pool is fine.
Hostel Overview
Dreamer Hostel is located in this picturesque Hispanic town considered to be the oldest in the country. Thanks to its natural features. it is called "La Perla de América" (The Pearl of America). Its beaches have white sand and most of them have quiet waters. Apart from its historic center with fortifications and some monuments from the Republica period, it is worth mentioning the locality of El Rodadero, the majestic Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and beautiful places like Arrecifes, Playa Blanca, Punta de Betín, El Parque Nacional Tayrona, Taganga, Bahía Concha y Neguange. It is important to highlight Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, declared Homeland Sanctuary, that works as Museo Bolivariano at present. This is one of the most important towns in Colombia from the tourist point of view, very much visited both by nationals and foreigners.Dreamer Hostel brings to Santa Marta a new quality concept at affordable prices and offers the possibility of enjoying a bit of luxury at good prices.
The hostel is brand new and has been designed and purpose built to preserve the typical colonial style of the region and to provide lots of space for entertainment and relax.
