The receptionist was the only good thing about this place, she went above and beyond for us when it was absolutely pouring with rain!

Location just by the Calabazo entrance to Tayrona. Perfect for a night before entering Tayrona national park. Good value for money.

“Peaceful stop”
Lovely quiet hotel just before the Calabazo entrance to Tayrona. Be ware thete is a 5000 pesos to be paid to access the road the hotel is on. It's not in the hotel description but is mentioned on the confirmation email ( a bit late as it does bump the price) . The pool is great, the stream to access the property does rise when it rains , making access a little tricky. Bed was comfy. Peaceful place

Nice staff which helps you and you can eat some fruits of the garden. Super to start the trip from Calabazo park entry, so the more jungle like pathway across the mountains. Tiendas are as well here. One time is a 5000 peso way fee necessary per person, so they get a better road one day. It's to reach by car...

“The room is ok. We were shocked when we compared the reviews on here with the google ones, which is definitely worse tha”
The location for the Calabazo-entrace to Tayrona is great. The staff was sweet enough to change our dates from two to one night, when we weren’t able to get there on time which was very much appreciated. Also we got to leave our bags at the hostel, when we slept inside Tayrona.

“perfect to stay before Tayrona trek”
We only stayed one night before our 2-day Tayrona trek. The place is right next to the Calabazo entrance (the longer path). Very nice ambiance—you can already feel (and hear) that you're in the jungle. :) Spacious room and a nice swimming pool area to relax. Very good price. We could store our backpacks for free while we were in Tayrona. You have to cross a small river twice to get there. :D They offer food, there is also a restaurant and basic shops at the main street (5min walk, you can also catch there a bus every 20 min)

“Terrible”
Personnel was rude and unprofessional. When we were doing the checkout the personnel of the hotel verified the room and didn’t say anything. We left our bags there, and when we came back to get them they said a towel was left dirty and we had to pay, even though before the person working there found nothing wrong. We had to pay 30.000 COP because the person was threatening us and raising her voice even though we were talking normally. I felt discomforted and unsafe in the situation. The shower also didn’t have hot water. Worst experience I ever had through Booking

Second stay, we picked the cabana this time. I loved that it came with its own hammock! The bed was comfortable and came with its mosquito net. There were adorable kittens hanging around the area. I also loved the dogs in the reception area. Tasty dinner food.

A Nice swimming pool in a lovely garden and right at the entrance of the Tayrona Park. The staff was lovely and accommodating (you can safely leave your big bag if you're going to the park for a few days). We ate dinner there and it was tasty and not expensive.
