Casa Agua Vela Hostal | Informal Campsite

January 17th, 2023 by joreca

Great place to wait for our camper to arrive in Cartagena. We stayed here for 10 days. Very friendly owner and great cook.
The rooms are clean and have private bathrooms, air condition... You can stay in the dormitories for less money. You can use the kitchen, but clean up afterwards.
Great view over the ocean and a nice pool. If you like to kite, the wind is excellent here.

When we arrived, the grass was very high. There are no parking facilities anymore as on the picture. We weren't able to get our van up to his place because it was too slippery and steep. We parked in front of the gate. For 20.000 COP per night we could use the toilet (which had no door), outdoor shower, wifi and swimming pool. Nice views.

We stayed for one night in a privat room (130'000 COP incl. delicious breakfast). Because we still waiting for our van to arrive in Cartagena. Nice place to stay also for Overlanders with vans. The german owner would be happy.

This place is not closed but they don’t really care about their parking lot anymore. You can‘t use the two levelled concrete spot they once built, so they tell you to park on the very uneven grass area. But they didn’t mown this area since a long time so you have a meter high grass everywhere around you with a million of mosquitoes in it. If they fix all this I think it would be a nice place but we didn’t stay. Also it’s not really at the beach as there is no actual access to it. We went to the Juanmar Hotel where you can park at the beach and use their facilities.

A very nice hostel, would definitely recommend. The owner is a very friendly guy, the view is amazing and everything is clean. You can camp here and use the pool but we chose to get a dorm bed for 50.000 pp (in the low season). If you stay in the dorm you also have access to the kitchen.

The place is not closed! It’s much nicer than the other hotel in town. Still will set you back 30k for a car with pool access and outdoor shower. Very friendly owner and really nice spot to unwind on the road between Barranquilla and Cartagena.

Attention changement de propriétaire, 30000 pesos pour 2 personnes, la cuisine est accessible avec un supplément de 10000 pesos, la douche se trouve à côté de la piscine et non fermée donc impossible de se doucher sans son maillot de bain, les toilettes sont dans la maison et aucun point d'eau et électricité pour le camping , le terrain n'est pas entretenu, non clôturé et sécurisé et les gens y passent pour aller à la mer. Il n'y a pas de plage. Un gros effort à faire sur l'accueil et l'hospitalité.

Very nice place on the water to camp. 15,000 for a solo traveler on a bike to set up tent for the night and use the shower, pool and bathroom. She said the kitchen was extra so I just cooked on my own stove. Bring bug spray. If you have a very large camper it might be difficult to park here but not impossible. GPS take you to the front door of the hostel but you will need to pull around back to set up. 3,000 for a beer.

This is the best place we have been at the coast! Very nice and clean pool, beautiful view, nice outside area with hammocks, fast WiFi, big kitchen and clean bathroom (only outside shower). Make sure to stock up on food before going to this place, you might stay longer as intended and there is only a small tienda.

The best option in town for views, services and a wonderful host. A little difficult to level but we got it. Recently added yoga platform and daily yoga! Size- we are 8 feet wide and we fit in the gate. No height restrictions. Not really an electric hookup. Not really a water fill option. (Both available inside) maybe a sewer dump hole! The pool is refreshing and CLEAN!

Awesome place, with a better view.
Owners, Anika and David (Germans) are very nice and accommodating.
10,000pp a night to park and use their facilities. Pool, WiFi, kitchen, outside shower, and bathroom.
Tranquilo place. Not great parking for super tall rigs, but camper vans fit great.
Huge breakfast for 10,000 if you want. Recommended for your coastal route.
