Loved how many options there were to enjoy the hostel and area. Tayrona park, surfing, hammocks, lots of activities, it was a great visit.
It’s quite the party place though and even with a private suite away from the bar the music plays until 3 am. There’s no escaping it.

Would definitely come back to this place. The service is excellent, Pablo from the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay incredible. The wifi isn't great but then again you want to stay in a place like this to disconnect!

We enjoyed our stay at the Viajero hostal we stayed in one of the cabins, it was very nice. The staff were friendly, the food was good. I would suggest this place to anyone who enjoys living. If you want peace and quiet, this is not the place to go. This hotel is full of people enjoying life and having fun.

The hostel is very unique. It had a really cool design to it and we enjoyed the beach and the pool. Staff was very nice. However for the price, wifi connection was very slow and only available in certain areas. And in our room the bed was very hard and the bathroom was open to outside so we were finding way too many ants and spiders in our room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The problem I had with this hostel is that they had false advertising on their website. I booked a females only dorm from the photos they advertised. When I arrived it was absolutely not that room. When I inquired the front desk told me they only have one of those and it was coed. She also agreed it’s all sabotage. The women’s only dorm is a very old and smelled like mildew. The bathroom looked like it wasn’t cleaned in days. The rest of the hostel was nice. Food was good. Nice bar area and options. Good cheap massage for 30$.

The hotel bungalow itself was very nice for the price. The hotel bar (on the beach) sucked. The bartender had a limited assortment of liquors. The bartender at the pool/beach bar was unable to make a mojito. In general, excluding at the front desk, service was poor. The beach was dirty and unappealing.

The owners have recently rebranded the place as a hostel, while maintaining the hotel-style rooms on site. The old hotel website (when it was called Hotel Merecumbe) made it appear like a luxury place. It is a good value place to stay if you are paying the hostel prices but very poor value if you are paying for the hotel rooms, as the facilities, including the food, are not up to the right standard, particularly at the hotel room prices.

Resort is beautiful. Those with high expectations, please keep in mind that Leticia is extremely remote, so comparing Viajero to a regular Dicameron all-inclusive isn't possible. The rooms are huge and beautiful. The grounds are superb and the people are wonderful. Highly recommend.

Food was horrific and rooms were uncomfortable. One couldn’t swim in the ocean either.

Great stay. Parts were under construction, most notably a pool which looks like it will be amazing once finished. But otherwise great. It is not located close to any of the coastal towns, but east bus access to Parque Tayrona.

Nice eco resort on the beach. Close to Tayrona and great staff. The hotel also serves as a Hostel and the vibe is definitely more of a hostel scene than a luxury resort. Food was great, drinks were tasty, but probably not the gourmet dining scene that the website makes it seem like. Rooms do not have AC, no pool, and while the property is on the beach you really can not swim in the ocean due to current and an incredible amount of debris in the water on the shore. Overall satisfied with our stay but I think for the price you can do better.

This place is a beautifully appointed piece of paradise located on the beach just north of Tayrona National Park. The shared facitlities were very well maintained and the food was really good. The rooms themselves are a masterpiece. Really recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat in the Colombian/Carribean hinterland. Make sure you take bug spray!
