“A paradise on the stunning pacific coast”
A small paradise! The tent is right on the vast and mostly empty beach between palm trees and comes with its own shower/toilet house. The garden is beautiful, the people extremely friendly and the food amazing. Thank you again! I can definitely recommend and will try to come back.

“A little paradise”
Popochos Beach was super nice, the hotel is really well kept and clean. Hugo, Neila and the women who cook are really nice and help you with everthing you need. I enjoyed my stay there a lot.

Amazing stay at Popochos Eco Lodge. Super nice staff. Located right on the beach, incredibly beautiful. Very quiet. Very good food. They also facilitate access to activities (whales watching / fishing / etc ). Perfect as a couple or as a family. I warmly recommend this place a bit off the village (you’ll have to take a 10 mins ride in loncha).

“Highly recommend! Fantastic experience!”
We had a wonderful time at Popochos. The staff is warm and friendly and helpful. When my husband was sunburned, they brought him aloe vera. (Watch out for the sun as there is no shade!) The location is outstanding. You're right on the oceanfront with miles of beach on either side and hardly anyone around except for the few other guests at Popochos. Hugo, the host, is lovely. He does his very best for the guests. He isn't always around but if you make a plan with him he's reliable, give or take 20 minutes. The facilities are basic but everything is very clean and everything works. There is a mosquito net around the bed, which is very helpful. You can't stop tiny lizards and spiders from coming into your room but that's part of being on the edge of the jungle right in the middle of nature. There is free coffee and water throughout the day. The food is the same menu for lunch and dinner every day but it's good and they give you plenty. You can hire a kayak for $50,000 COP. You can also take day trips to surrounding areas. The day trip to Utria was fun - you do a very short walk across a raised boardwalk through the mangroves (approx. 25 mins) and then go to Playa Blanca and finally the waterfall at Morromico. The walk to Panguí is great. Panguí is like another world, and the restaurant just slightly further on from there is beautiful. Be careful walking back in the afternoon past about 13:00 because the tide comes in a long way and the beach basically disappears! It's a fun adventure, though. Highly recommend Popochos!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Popochos. The location is just 10min outside of Nuquí but it feels like you are in a remote nature paradise. The beach in front of the cabañas is several kilometers long and you barely see any other people there. The cabaña was very clean and the bed was the most comfortable one in our trip through Colombia so far. The food is tasty, the fruits organic from their own garden and we absolutely loved the free coffee and water. The tours we took were amazing and we even went fishing with Hugo and caught so many fish. We can recommend staying at popochos and we will definitely come back. But what really was outstanding was Hugo and Neila and their family. They were so kind and went above and beyond to assure that we would have a good time. They even organized a surf board for us! We honestly didn’t want to leave and felt like we had made new friends.

“Amazing place in the nature”
The spot is perfect on a very quite beach. The room has everything you’d need like a balcony, hammock, and comfy bed. It is priceless waking up with the view and sound of the waves.. Hugo was quite helpful. At first we doubted if we should reserve close to Termales / Arusi area to reach attractions on foot, but overall here was much better option.

“Wonderful and relaxing stay in paradise with a great host.”
Our room was directly at the beach with an amazing view. The host Hugo and his family were so nice and always available if we needed anything. The bed even had a mosquito net which was great for sleeping so we didn’t need to worry about any mosquitos. The food was delicious. I can only recommend staying at Popochos Beach.

“Thank you for introducing us to this beautiful coast of the Pacific. We could really relax and escape from our busy live”
Our room was on the sea front, you can sleep at the sound of waves. Our hosts, Hugo and Neila were very helpful, providing excellent service to all our needs. We were served big portions of delicious meals every day!

“Delightful”
The lodge is located at a beautiful beach close to Nuqui. It is clean, well-equiped and has a calming atmosphere. The host and its family are very kind people, who made us feel welcome and

Great location. Remote and private. The mangroves in the back were special as was the beach. The rooms were idyllic, the hosts were super responsive and helped change booking even flights got cancelled. They had a very easy payment system of Revolut cards.

“Offers higher comfort than other places”
It is close to Nuqui (airport), so no expensive transfer needed. It is located directly at the Olímpica beach (which is not as clean as those further down at Termales - but nice nonetheless). The buildings are new, with spacious rooms and balconies, power sockets in the room, a nice bathroom. Around the buildings there is ample space to go on a short walk, see the home grown pineapples and other fruit. The hosts are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I've only had ne meal there (vegetarian) which was very tasty. You get drinking water refills on demand. I stayed at two other places - this one was the most "fancy" one.

“Adventurous accommodation at the beach outside from Nuquí”
- super friendly host, Estefania welcomed us at the pier, we got a coconut drink and she organised all the tours for us last minute - she speaks a little bit English and German also :) - the view is amazing! it’s quite and not many persons here, we saw whales from the beach in the evening - we liked the outdoor bathroom with ocean view from the shower - we were allowed to use the fridge because no one was using this accommodation and got two spoons and bowls for our selfmade breakfast - liked the hammocks and the vibe around Just DON’T book the TENT ;)

The food was really good, the bathroom and shower super clean! The hosts were always very friendly and helpful! We had the whole beach to ourselves, as there were no other Lodges on the beach. Stayed for 3 nights, which was perfect.

“Paradise!”
This place is something special. Estefania and Giovanni went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They offer services like homecooked meals, organizing your activities, and much more. We felt very much at home in our beautiful private apartment at Popochos. The lodges are just steps away from a gorgeous beach which you will have to yourself. Nuqui is already a dream but our stay at Popochos made it unforgettable. As an extra bonus, the hostel dog Rocky is always there to accompany you on some adventures if you wish!

“2nd home in paradise”
sometimes when you are travelling you meet people and get to know places that just allow you to have this amazing feeling of home instantly. estefanía and giovanni are masters at creating this feeling. from the first phonecall on you could feel the warmth and the kindness they carry in their hearts. the beach and surroundings are just absoutely stunning and breathtaking and the level of effort they put into the project is amazing. instead of 2 nights we ended up staying for 6. we will definitely come back to this wonderful place and these even more wonderful people as soon as we can ! highly recommended. much love nía and gio from david and vanessa 💓 you will always have a home in vienna
