Casa Hostal Amar-illa

Para los viajeros que buscan tranquilidad, prácticas ambientales y turismo sostenible comunitario, es el lugar ideal. Desde la terraza se pueden ver animales en las mañanas. Los anfitriones también te ayudarán con lo que necesites

La habitación en la que nos quedamos tiene poco espacio pero es adecuada para dormir y tener tus cosas del viaje

Gemütliches Haus, man fühlt sich schnell wie zu Hause. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum kochen braucht. Man kann Frühstück dazu buchen, dieses ist lecker und jeden Tag ein bisschen anders. Die dachterrasse ist super zum entspannen, Yoga machen etc. Die beiden Hosts Santiago und Angelica sind sehr freundlich und haben uns bei allen Fragen bezüglich Tours, Transport, Surfen gut beraten. Sowohl zum Strand als auch in den Ort kommt man schnell zu Fuß.

Die Betten sind etwas hart, bei Regen ist es aufgrund des Wellblechdaches nachts im Schlafzimmer sehr laut.

El alojamiento es muy acogedor y está en una ubicación perfecta entre la playa y el pueblo de El Valle. Angélica y Santiago fueron muy amables y nos ayudaron mucho durante nuestra estancia. El desayuno también está muy rico. Las instalaciones están siempre limpias y las camas son muy cómodas.

Santiago nos consiguió los Tours al toque. Todo super organizado

Algo a tener en cuenta pero asumo que es tema del pueblo es la baja de tensión. Tengan una buena power bank

Alargue mi estancia un par de días porque em aprecia muy cómodo y personal muy agradable y acogedor, Repetiría sin dudarlo

El personal y ambiente del lugar es muy acogedor y enseguida te sientes como en casa

Angélica y Santiago son super amables y tranqui. Fueron muy atentos y nos ayudaron con todo lo que necesitábamos. Nos explicaron las opciones y actividades disponibles en el lugar, lo que nos permitió disfrutar mucho de esos días. El hostel está muy lindo y tiene todo lo que uno necesita. Hay binoculares para avistamiento de aves, y se puede ver el mar desde la casa. todo está muy cerca :)

Very nice hostel close to the beach ans the village of El Valle. Relaxing stay in nature, the hosts Angelica and Santiago are very friendly and helpful. Thank you very much for your hospitality 😊

La tranquilidad. Personal muy amable y atento

On s’y sent tout de suite très bien. L’auberge est jolie, pleine de couleurs, et parfaitement propre. La cuisine est bien équipée, et le petit-déjeuner d’Angelica est vraiment excellent. La terrasse est un vrai plus : on peut s’y détendre dans plusieurs hamacs, dans une ambiance très agréable. L’auberge propose également un listing d’activités, et les hôtes sont disponibles et attentifs en cas de besoin.

La chambre classique a deux est très petite. Il y a peu d'espace pour poser ses affaires. Celle un peu plus chère est bien plus grande.

Wspaniałe miejsce! Pokój w hostelu ładny i czysty z moskitierą i wiatrakiem. Dostęp do kilku wspólnych łazienek. Plaża jest 3 minuty od hostelu, w pobliżu dobra restauracja. W hostelu można było zarezerwować sobie super wycieczki. Personel był bardzo pomocny i łatwo było dogadać się po angielsku. Bardzo polecamy! ☺️

Just a really nice chill place. Great upstairs terrace to hang out and chill in the hammock. Very close to the beach, has a kitchen you can use and everyone is very friendly.

Perfect location between the village and the beach. The staff were really outstanding, helped us book tours and arrange transportation and overall solve problems that came up.

Everything was in cash and ATMs aren't available so you have to carry an incredible amount of cash on you

Perfect location between the village and the beach, wonderful staff. We really loved the place

The room is *very* small, and everything (tours, room etc) is in cash and there are no ATMs so you have to carry a crazy amount of cash on you

Très bien situé et la cuisine était super bien équipée ! Santiago est super gentil, serviable et sympa.

Très agréable hostel et le propriétaire est très gentil

Parfait, Angelica et Santiago sont là pour nous, l’emplacement est parfait entre le centre et la plage, je recommande fortement, cuisine équipée, excursion disponible, Bonne vibes dans un cadre chill

We stayed at Casa Hostal Amar-illa for two nights and it was simple but met our basic needs during our time in El Valle to see the humpback whales. We had a private room which mainly consisted of a mosquito net and contained a fan. There was a shared kitchen with plastic bins where you could put your food to prevent ants. We also enjoyed the rooftop which had hammocks and yoga mats. Angelica, one of the hosts, was also super helpful in organizing tours and ferry rides.

Unfortunately there was a large group of other travelers who were quite loud and made noise until 4AM. Perhaps a curfew can be imposed at the property.

Lo mejor de este sitio ha sido la atención de Angélica y Santiago, quienes nos recomendaron y nos ayudaron en todo lo que necesitamos. Buscaron la forma de gestionarnos las salidas que nos interesaron, lugares donde comer, salir, etc., siempre con mucho acierto, y estuvieron disponibles para cualquier cosa todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí (e incluso antes de llegar! ). El alojamiento se encuentra ubicado en una zona muy tranquila y cerca de la playa y del pueblo, y la terraza superior es un perfecto lugar de descanso donde disfrutar del sonido de la lluvia o el canto de los pájaros desde la hamaca.

La habitación es demasiado pequeña

Location, cleanliness , facilities

The hostel’s location makes it truly special: it’s just steps from both the sea and the town, which is incredibly convenient. It’s a cozy, clean, and comfortable place—perfect for relaxing and enjoying Bahía Solano. The staff are very friendly and always ready to help, and they offer excellent advice on the various tours and activities available in the area. Without a doubt, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking to connect with nature and have an authentic experience on Colombia’s Pacific coast.

It is a quiet place that offers you a natural experience

We loved this place!! Only a 30 second walk from a beautiful beach (el Almejal) , you can see the sea from the terrace, you can hear the waves when you sleep. The kitchen is really well equipped, we cooked lots of fish that we bought from the fishermen in the village !! Angelica and Santiago are lovely hosts, very attentive and caring. The house is sooo charming, you feel right at home. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone who comes to the Pacific and we would love to come back :) Best option in the area, very central for any activities or to get to any other tourist spots in this area.

We enjoyed our stay in Amar-illa a lot! It’s super close to the beach and to the village. There is a nice garden around which makes it a quiet and pleasant place to relax. The kitchen is well equipped and nice to cook in. We also got a lot of help in organising trips to the jungle and to snorkel beaches. If you’re visiting El Valle it’s just a perfect place to stay.

The couple running it were very helpful giving recommendations and guidance. They always advise the cheapest and best option around according to your needs.

The mattress was incredibly uncomfortable. The guy offered to change it for a different one but it was smaller so I declined.

The Owner/Staff is helpful and gave advice about Trecks in the area and about transport

Cockroaches in the kitchen, never felt clean while staying here. The mattress is some kind of plastic thing, not really comfortable. There are no lockers (could only give your valuables to the owner for safekeeping)

The Hostel is nice to meet new people and the building is clean.

The staff don't really care about their guests. Be it cancelling tours without letting people know, not ordering taxis and telling them it'll be impossible to find one (despite it not being the case). The only time they were nice was when asking for the money and checkout. The number of fans in rooms is also ridiculously low, making sleeping pretty hard.

I spent an amazing time at Casa Amarilla hostel. Really nice staff. They gave me all information about daily trips and boat excursions. Hostel with friendly and community vibes. Rooms are clean. Really good location. You have try the pizzería next by, they made best pizzas in town.

I loved that it’s a traditional house made of wood, it is a very humid area so buildings made of cement tend to hold lots of dampness and mould, this place felt very healthy. It was very close to the beach and other hostels that have a nice night life, but also close enough to town that you can walk in easily. The rooftop is great for yoga and hanging out and the hostel is literally a 3 min walk to the beach. The owners are really caring and helpful with everything, they give you all the information you need and help book activities for you. I really enjoyed my stay with them and highly recommend this place.

Everything was great and the hostal owners are lovely.
