BREES

Andres is an outstanding host, excellent all around. The food was also excellent.

Beautiful place with very comfortable mattresses and pillows. Thanks to Andres for making it an awesome experience and helping in everything I needed. Also to Griselda and Paola for cooking delicious eggs and making that homemade bread😋😋😋.

The best of all was the social part of our stay. Hostel is not too big and give opportunity to build a social relationships with others tourist from the hostel. If you want you have convenient place to socialize there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is fantastic, everything is homemade, even bread. Very practical and beautiful building, everything was made to maximize the comfort. You could relaxed in de lounge in the shadow with a little brees. Workspace was perfect. Beds were perfect. The room had a balcony, convenient for drying our clothes. Bathroom and showers spacious. Fantastic dinning place.

The location for kitesurfing Salinas del Rey was a bit further, 5-7 min with tuk tuk. But at the end it was beter because it was a very quiet place and at the beach was very windy and at the hostel not.

Beautiful, new property centrally located in Santa Verónica. I’m not a kiter and took a lesson on my first day and hurt myself and Andres took amazing care of me. Great food, beautiful property. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Stay at BREES Hostel! I had an incredible experience at BREES Hostel, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. The hostel itself is spotless, comfortable, and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The common areas are thoughtfully designed, making it easy to connect with fellow travelers or simply relax after a day of exploring. What truly sets BREES apart, however, is the host, Andres. He goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels at home. Andres is not only friendly and approachable but also incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His recommendations for local activities, restaurants, and hidden gems were absolutely spot-on. He has a way of making everyone feel included and part of the BREES community, which made my stay all the more special. If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, excellent service, and a personal touch, look no further than BREES Hostel. Thank you, Andres, for your kindness and for making my time here unforgettable. I can't wait to return!

Our stay was fabulous! Really loved the atmosphere, the place is amazing, rooms are great with the view on the sea, the food was absolutely AMAZING for every meal we had ! Really enjoyed having all the clients all together at the same table for the breakfast and diner. Our host had very nice attention for a birthday without asking, very king of him. Amazing experience !

The only thing that could be better is the comfort of the pillows.

I loved staying here. Its been my favourite hostel so far. It has everything you need including a gym, 25m pool, working space with a/c and very close to the beach. The food was excellent. All home cooked meals very healthy. I loved it most because all I had to focus on was work and kite surfing. Everything I needed was on site and I was able to get a lot of work done and a lot of kite surfing. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone considering Santa Veronica or Salinas del Ray

Nothing. The place was awesome and I can't wait to get back there

It's a very quite and laidback place. You'll find time to rest and recover but also to do plenty of sports or to work. If you are into kitesurfing, it's the place to be! Plenty of sites and schools around. Brees itself offers a very nice pool to so proper swimming and and outdoor gym with plenty of weights. There is a working area, which has dedicated WiFi just for this purpose. The entire personel is wonderful and friendly. The food, breakfast as well as lunch and dinner (both offered for 40k per person each, i.e., ~9€), is just delicous and always freshly made. The rooms offer a great view and the bed is very comfy. Transportation is also offered for a reasonable price (or you take one of the busses nearby to Barranquilla or Cartagena).

Nothing really. Maybe that the showes takes some time to get warm.

The food was great and very varied, the rooms were cleaned very well every day. And there was a lot of contact with the other guests, because you all sit together on two tables for the meals. From the hotel, we usually walked to a great wavy spot at the beach where we had a lot of fun kitesurfing. On other days, we took a 5 minute tuc tuc ride to Salinas del Rey.

For me personally, there were no downsides. Breakfast starts around 8:30 and might take a while, so if you're in a hurry this can be a downside. But hopefully you're on a vacation and it doesn't matter. There's also one dorm room in the hotel with 4 beds I think. If you're travelling by yourself, expect a calm time and hanging around with a lot of couples.
