The best ever Hostel.
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.

Absolutely perfect !
Pros: 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 !
Cons: The only thing that could be better is the comfort of the pillows.

Excellent accommodation that I didn't want to leave
Pros: 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
Cons: Nothing. The place was awesome and I can't wait to get back there

Workation & Sports? Stay here
Pros: 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).
Cons: Nothing really. Maybe that the showes takes some time to get warm.

The best place to stay if you love watersports!
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.

Epic place to stay
Pros: Amazing place to stay with fabulous facilities and delicious food. We did not kite surf but really enjoyed the facilities (the pool, cross fit gym & classes, yoga classes (extra charge). The staff are all very friendly and willing to help. Would highly recommend!
Cons: The water in bathroom didn’t drain very well and stayed on the floor but otherwise design of the property was excellent! It may be useful to add some more information on the website about the best way for people to get to the property (if you’re not driving).
