Absolutely stunning location in the middle of nowhere. The eco huts were amazing and it was great sleeping in nature but in a nice comfortable space. The food was delicious.

“Highly recommend - go prepared to stay somewhere remote and to enjoy the adventure that comes with that (!) whilst being”
Luxuriously remote and beautifully basic - it’s a mini paradise where you are completely at one with nature. Wonderful staff, great food - somewhere to enjoy being totally immersed in the peace and tranquility of nature.

“Amazing bay, beach, houses, service, food, and atmosphere”
Amazing bay, beach, houses, service, food, and atmosphere. What a place! It’s worth the little extra effort to get there and to have an unforgettable and memorable time. Definitely recommend to everyone! The food is amazing, as is the deep peace and beauty you find here. By boat from Santa Marta or from playa Cabo San Juan. Starlink internet works very well and you can even work there. Thank you Kata and the whole team :) We will come back.

“Paix et sérénité”
Watchakyta is such a unique and wonderful place to relax and disconnect: the beach is beautiful, the place is calm, there is no noise but those of nature. The team working there is absolutely amazing, everyone is super nice and as helpful as possible. We stayed 3 nights and it was the perfect spot to get some rest, swim and sleep on the beach, contemplating the ocean bay :) We will keep lovely memories from our stay here!

“A true paradise in Tayrona”
This place is simply heavenly. One of the most beautiful beach resort we have ever been. Only a few wooden bungalow on the beach, literally a few steps from the water, fully immersed in a lush nature. The accommodations are lovely, decorated with wood and organic fabrics, clean and just perfect in every detail. Food and cocktails are simply delicious, and you can have lunch and dinner literally on the beach, barefoot. The staff is so nice, always available to make your stay comfortable and relaxed. We could never recommend this place more. It’s such a blessing to spend a few days here.

A (maybe not so hidden) gem. Want to spend some time remote on beautiful beach, guess thats your spot. Great place to snorkel or just relax. Good food. Lovely dog and cat. Many animals to see, underwater, at the beach or on the little trek into the jungle. Friendly, welcoming staff. Would go there again and recommend it to anyone who can spare a few days/nights.

“Beautiful scenery, paradise getaway”
Beautiful stunning place with a private beach. It was so peaceful, not loud music or people, felt like paradise. The food was also great and the staff was very attentive. It’s worth the rocky boat journey to get here - would come back!

“Seriously, this place is paradise”
It’s hard not to oversell this place as it’s so fantastic. If you want to pretend you’re Robinson Crusoe, stranded on one of the most beautiful beaches in Tayrona, this is the place. I picked this place because I wanted a swimmable beach inside the park. I didn’t want to have to walk to Cabo San Juan, which I’d heard is full of backpackers taking selfies. I wanted to step out of my room and into the sea. And that’s what I got here. Every morning I got a coffee from the bar (always a full urn freshly brewed) and enjoyed it on some driftwood on the beach, before taking a dip. Usually Tinto, the resident doggy, would sit with me watch the waves. Things to do: relax in the beach, relax on a swing on the beach, relax in one of the daybeds on the beach, relax with a cocktail on some cushions on the beach, relax in your room. Read, swim, sunbathe, watch the birds, play with the cats. This place isn’t a Maldives resort where they remove bugs from the sand using tweezers and a haute cuisine dinner is served every night. Amongst the makeshift luxury, it’s still basic. (However, the food is hearty and plentiful.) And that’s what makes it so unique. You’re really in nature. There’s lizards and crabs crawling about everywhere (the bugs are there too but they’re not nearly as bad as some of the reviews suggest). Every so often a great wave of insect or lizard song (I could never work out what it was) drowns out the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, and then dies down 10 seconds later. Take a kayak out into the bay. The water is calm and it’s an easy little paddle. Then just sit there and watch the birds, take in the view of the jungle towering over the beach, or enjoy the show the sunset puts on every night. If you’re really lucky you’ll get a thunderstorm as you climb into bed. And the staff are just lovely. A real gang of castaways keeping the place in running order.

Simply the most wonderful place. Every single last thing was perfect. The staff made you feel special and the design really makes you feel like you’re part of the nature there. Excellent food at very reasonable prices. The walk up to the viewpoint is not for the faint hearted!

As someone who isn't in best terms with insects and boats, and as a woman travelling solo, I hesitated a lot before booking. But I'm so glad I decided to stay here in the end! Stunning location, great and friendly staff (including the dog), and well equipped eco lodge. The views were stunning and the food, delicious! Get ready cause, as mentioned by others, the boat ride can be tough. But it's totally worth it.
