“Amazing quiet place, great service and cleanliness and overall a great experience.”
The people were super lovely, always helpful, and collaborative with anything. Super nice service overall. The bedroom was super comfortable, clean and spacious, in a very quiet place. We had an amazing experience relaxing. The cabins are separate enough to have privacy and space. We loved it! And the girls in the reception were soooooo lovely and kind, always there for us. Great service and I will definitely come back.

For us it was the perfect stay. The hotel is designed in a way that you can calm down and relax completly. There were always hammocks or sunbeds available by the beach, which also provide shade. The people working there were very nice and attentive. The chef is really good, every food we ordered was delicious. A personal highlight were the dogs that are living there:)

“Very beautiful and peaceful place that feels like the garden of eden”
One of the most beautiful locations. Absolutely stunning garden and green areas and a beach. One of the most relaxed and peaceful places too. It's lit so beautifully. At night time I just wanted to stay in the garden just looking around as it is so beautiful. Very private and peaceful feeling in your own bungalow, as they are located quite separately around the garden/green areas. Bungalows super cozy and a lot of space. Common areas, ie restaurant, bar, etc, are very nice too if you wanna socialize. There's also daily yoga sessions included in your stay if that's you thing. Nice staff. Good wifi throughout the place. Good food at quite a reasonable price.

“Paradise on the beach”
I loved the fact that the place wasn’t inside Tayrona Park but was still very close by—only about a 25-minute bus ride to the entrance. It was super convenient to get everywhere we needed. I also loved the sustainable design of the property; it felt very cozy, especially the bar area. Our hut was absolutely adorable and very clean. For anyone concerned about hot showers, keep in mind that you’re in Tayrona with temperatures around 30–35°C, so you really don’t need heated water. The outdoor cold showers were actually perfect. There was plenty of space in the room. Some of the photos online didn’t look exactly the same as our hut—there may have been one or two lamps missing—but it was still very cute and clean. The mosquito netting over the bed was extremely helpful, especially since you’re completely surrounded by nature. Our room was cleaned daily, and we were given fresh towels every day. You can always request not to have towels changed daily to support sustainability, but because it’s quite humid, towels don’t dry easily, so having fresh ones was actually very helpful. The food choice was also great I felt it had different choices and very delicious. Overall, the place reminded me of a luxury hostel or a boutique hotel. The staff were lovely, and while it’s not a party place, it was super quiet with very relaxed, chilled vibes.

Everything. It is the second time we visit the place and we can notice its improvement. Staff is absolutely kind and willing to help. Place is outstanding: quiet, environmental friendly with all the facilities to combine rest and work as it was our case. Yoga sessions in the morning and afternoon are definitely our top 10: Laura the instructor is a lovely spirit as well as very professional in her role. Stable internet connection despite of the local challenges: one day the public power supply was off and the management turned the hotel generator on immediately in such a way we didn't even notice there was a problem. Care products in the bedroom are naturally and locally produced.

The hotel is beautiful and located right in the heart of nature, which gives it a peaceful and natural vibe. Unfortunately, the rooms were extremely hot at night, and we had a terrible experience with lots of mosquitoes. The water pressure was very weak, and the sheets weren’t very clean. The food was average, and so was the beach, but the surrounding area was nice.

“Felt like paradise!”
The property fulfilled its purpose, to reconnect us with the nature. The location is magical, full of tropical trees. The individual houses are built by sustainable local materials, they are spacious and the open-air toilet/bathroom is an amazing experience! The common areas (restaurant and bar) are always available and set up, the staff is always very helpful (even if the communication in English is basic) and friendly. There are plenty of sun beds at the beach. The food in the menu is amazing and the cocktails as well. I would totally recommend it!

“Our stay was deeply disappointing, and management failed to address the issues we faced. AVOID.”
I suppose it had potential but ultimately failed to meet expectations. While the food was good overall, there were some significant issues (see below). Additionally, the portions were small considering the high prices. The location is pleasant, but don't expect to swim as the sea is very rough.

“A Hidden Gem in Nature”
A hidden paradise! This hotel is a dream come true. Surrounded by untouched jungle and the sea, it offers complete tranquility with no crowds, just pure nature. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the new management is doing amazing work to preserve this paradise, from cleaning beaches to supporting wildlife (BIG THANK YOU!). A true escape into a sustainable paradise.
