Friendly hosts, lovely environment

“Hidden paradise”

Location next to the river was beautiful, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the flora and fauna around the hostel was amazing, it was a hidden gem tucked away from all the tourists. Its a shirt walk to the main road and as soon as you cross the road there is a moto taxi stand where you can catch a bike in Guachaca town. The buses also stop directly opposite the road that EcoHostal is down.

“Stunning, peaceful spot by the river”

The most beautiful, peaceful spot we’ve stayed! The river was right there for us to relax and cool down in. We arrived Sunday and the river had all the locals playing and listening to music. Was a fab day! The hosts are incredible. And their dogs became my best friends haha.

Lovely place - will come again however…you need to know the property is 600metre walk from the road. Be ready for that each time you arrive and leave.

“Relax for reasonable price.”

Location in a peaceful, quiet beautiful spot. Very nice host. Delicious breakfast.

Good place to chill and be close to the nature. The owner is so sweet. The food there is amazing, cooked with love and care like from grandmother. All rooms have a place to work and nice views. Also we enjoyed the river so much! And waterfalls in neighborhood. We could also make a laundry. We extended our stay because it was so good. Highly recommend. Place with a people with beautiful hearts. 😊👌✨

The river is beautiful and the wildlife is all around you The staff were super sweet and accommodating

They are warm family to care about you and your necessities, the room was fine and the bed was confortable. Support local

“The owners were the nicest people I’ve met . I felt like home during my stay .”

The owners and the property

“Relaxing place”

Very friendly and helpful family, beautiful place with lots of flowers and plants. Away from the touristy, typical places. Clean rooms, equipped with mosquito nets and ventilator, very nice view from the balcony. Close to the riverside. Good breakfast (arepa con queso, huevos, fruit, coffee).

“Beautiful paradise near Tayrona Park”

The place is absolutely beautiful. It is very peaceful and you can see lots of plants and animals. It was really easy to reach by bus, and also get to beaches and parque Tayrona by public transport too. Dona Petra and the other girls were lovely and made us feel really welcome.

Lovely helpful family who can help you with everything you need. Beautiful location to relax but also a short taxi from some of the nearby beaches and attractions

“A beautiful, tranquil stay in paradise”

The property itself is so so beautiful - quaint rooms, with quiet surroundings close to the river. the bed was super comfy and all come with an insect net. our room was equipped with a fan and an air conditioning and a little ensuite bathroom. the highlight of our stay was Petra and her wonderful family, as well as the delicious breakfast she made every morning (which was included in our stay). we opted to eat at the hostal and we were not disappointed at all - we had amazing meals that we discussed with Petra in the morning and she would russle up something even better than we had imagined every evening! the super friendly dogs and being directly next to the river - which is great to swim in was a bonus. in terms of transport, the track runs 600m by car to the hostal (probably better with a 4x4) or a 300m walk (by the 300m sign there is a separate pathway with steps that takes you down to the hostal). it is also great in terms of location, being a 12minute bus ride to Tayrona Park, a 5minute bus from Guachaca (supermarket and a couple of restaurants) or a 20minute walk. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and cannot recommend this place enough!

“wholesome”

petra is such a lovely lady!! she runs this beautiful lush place directly by the river. it’s very quiet and you can hike around the area. she has some lovely dogs too. she made us fresh breakfast and dinner. it’s a simple place with basic amenities but we thought it was comfortable enough. great value, we would love to come back some day :)

“Great calm hostel next to the river”

Amazing location near to the river with a small beach where the water is deep enough to cover you. The room in itself was spotless with comfortable beds. Although you are just some 600 meters from the highway you don't hear any noise from the vehicles. The caretakers, especially Petra, make you feel right at home and prepare really nice food as long as you ask with some time.

It felt like I was visiting my mom and dad,

“Highly recommended to disconnect and enjoy the river.”

We had a great time at Palmares del Río! The place is beautiful, next to the Guachaca river and close to very nice hiking paths. Petra, Crisol, Jhonatan and the rest of the staff were extremely kind and made us feel at home.

“Nature, birdsong and a hammock at the river Guachaca. Thanks for everything, Petra!”

Extended my stay instantly. It’s an oasis of relaxation away from the crowded tourist areas that surround Tayrona Park. Everything is clean, the staff is the best ever and who doesn’t like sleeping while listening to the birdsong of the jungle? For a perfect experience stay a few days! With the bus you can reach the beach and Tayrona very fast.

“Not ecological at all but great service!”

Its name says its ecological but its everything but ecological

“Best part was the river”

It's like staying with your grandma. That could be pro or a con depending on you personally. The best part is the river. It's difficult to get to specially if your car is not an SUV.
