Description
Hi Workawayers
I'm Einer and it is my pleasure to message you from Manzanillo del Mar where our Hostel is located!
__
We are the Beach House family. Our Beach House is swiss-owned and the best rated Hostel in Cartagena directly at the beach. Our hostel is really social and cozy and we would like you to be part of our family! We even have a kite school directly beside us where you can get lessons or rent the equipment. The calm beach of Manzanillo, where you can kite surf, play volley ball or just enjoy the Caribbean life style is right on our doorstep. We also organize Spanish or dance lessons and different tours!

When you travel only a few places can truly be called home. They are those places where, like it or not, you leave your heart.
This was one of them. I spent a month and a half there that flew by amid laughter, jokes and great food.

I had an incredible experience here! The hosts were so kind and welcoming, especially Ariana who's a great manager. The tropical beach setting was absolutely beautiful, and it was an excellent opportunity to practice and improve my Spanish, which I am grateful for. I hope to come back!
