Casa de Felipe - Reviews - Taganga

"Casa de Felipe" lies on a hill overlooking the small laid-back village of Taganga, a sub-urb of greater Sta.Marta.
This hostel was one of my favourites in whole South America.
The rooms are really nice, clean and comfortable. Hammocks make you chill out in the morning with cigarette and coffee or whatever. Youve got plenty of space to spread out, meet people and have some party together.
I stayed first in a 5 bed dorm room(no bunks) with a balcony(my favourite), a 4-bed-bunk dorm and later in a double room.
Through the hostel i booked the "Lost City"-Trek which goes over Sta.Marta. From there as well its only a short bus-ride to the Tayrona National Park, which is so beautyful that me and my buds got stuck there for three days(then your visitors permit expires, bring hammock to use these 3 days well!).

La casa de felipe in Taganga is a nice Hotel inside. but the area where the hotel is located it is not very nice. Taganga is not a safe place. While I was sleeping someone climbed through the balcony and stole my ipod, cell phone and camera. The balcony have grill bars for security. In my case was my fault because I didn't close them. because I was in a Third floor. I couldn't believe someone climb this high.
if you go to Taganga, just watch all your belongings. if you go to the beach too. After this I left to Rodadero. where is more safe. and the beach is cleaner. The owner of the hotel charged me half of the price, after the incidence. It was fair.

Nothing but excellent. Loved it so much we kept staying in fact. We had a double room with ensuite for $30,000 pesos per night. Basically it was like a motel room and clean. Staff were great and very helpful. A good breakfast from 7.30am until 10.30am for $5,000 pesos per person which is eggs, 4 bits of toast with marmalade, tea or coffee and fresh juice. Loved those brekkies. A nice chilled atmoshere with heaps of hammocks. A must.
