Colombia Coast Hostels?

My trip will be two weeks long and starting in Brazil for the first half. I will be staying in Rio at More Ipanema Hostel. But need some advice for the second half of my trip.

I will land in Santa Marta, Colombia, and I’ve heard a lot of mix reviews about city. So not sure if to just skip it and got further west.

What hostel(s) should I stay at?

1) Viajero Santa Marta 2) Costeño Beach Hostel 3) Rio Hostel Buritaca

Not sure if to do one or two since I only have a week. Since I’m solo traveling, the right hostel will make or break my trip.

Essentially, I love social hostels, weekly activity calendar, family dinners, and a party scene (even better if they have their own bar). Has anyone been to the Colombian coast? Any tips welcomed.
