Mamallena Beachside Reviews

Hostel Mamallena on the Beach is located on a beautiful, enormous beach in a sleepy fishing village.

The Location

Rincon del Mar is a sleepy fishing village on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It is a tiny village still waiting to be discovered by mainstream tourists. In the meantime, it's best to enjoy it as a beautiful and quiet beach destination while it lasts.

Mamallena hostel is located right on the beach. It was the first hostel in this village and even now there are only a few more alternatives to stay. The beach is really nice here but if you walk past the small village itself, you can enjoy miles and miles of unspoiled and deserted beach just by yourself. It's very likely that you'll be alone as far the eye can see.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel is very basic and very relaxed. There are a few ornate rooms and two dorms -- one with air conditioning and the other is only with fan. It can get very hot in the fan room. There is a bit of a sand invasion situation in the rooms -- and everywhere else in the hostel for that matter -- as can be expected from a hostel right at the beach. In the fan dorm there is two toilets and a shower in one of them. There is another bathroom outside.

Common Spaces

Besides the basic kitchen, there's a beach area with shade with hammocks and tables and a little bar. There are more hammocks for those who want to relax in the sun, and of course the whole beach is there, free for the taking. The hostel organizes tours to nearby islands. The kitchen is free for the guests to use. The hostel provides free coffee in the mornings.

Summary

The location is unbeatable, and the fact that it is still a sleepy fishing village with unspoiled beaches and without the hordes of tourists except a small number of backpackers makes it a very appealing destination. However, the hostel is not the best, as it is still a frontier location. But there are few alternatives and if you want to visit this off-the-beaten path location, this might be one of the better options to stay. The right-on-the-beach location is definitely a huge plus, and after all, it is a very budget hostel to stay. There is not much to complain about.

Location and Contact

Location

If you are coming from either Cartagena or Medellin, then take a bus to the small city of San Onofre in the state of Sucre. From Medellin a night bus might be better. From San Onofre you can then either take a moto taxi(15 000 pesos) or a normal taxi(40 000) to get to Rincon. We are located on the main street and everyone knows us. If they say they dont they are looking for a commission to take you somewhere else!
