“A good place to stay but lacking attention to detail.”
Good place to stay if you are looking for peace and quiet, it is one of the furthest accommodations located in that beach area. To arrive to Tayrona park it will take you around 15min on a motorbike for a cost of 4€ aprox. To be mentioned that the front doors are not very practical and ants/mosquitoes can easily enter. You should also know the bathroom area is outdoor so once again be aware of mosquitoes. Seems like the water in that area is not clean, you can see in the toilet it has a brownish colour and consequently found some bed sheets and pillow covers with brown spots. All in all it was a good place to stay but lacking attention to detail.

Good location in front of the sea. The restaurant next door is definitely a plus. The upper house looks nicer than the one below.

“A perfect place to disconnect and to relax”
This place is like heaven. Super quit and exactly what I needed to disconnect. The hotel has 4 rooms and therefore super quit and you still have privacy. It’s located by the beach 🏝️ We had the family room with an amazing view. Blue mango is a hotel next door where you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner and use the pool as well. Juan David was our host and he was always there for us whenever we needed anything. He helped us with organizing our trip to Tayrona national park, the rides, and everything. He was super patient and very welcoming. We booked a massage session. The session took place on our terrace. Isn’t that amazing? I recommend the coco therapy 90 min. I felt like a new born afterwards. I would definitely come back. This place is amazing.

“Amazing place to relax right on the beach”
Great little place on the beach. There’s only 2 huts consisting of 2 rooms each. You are allowed to use Blue Mango’s facilities, which is literally next door. Juan David is an amazing host!

“Wonderful room with a view”
We could not ask for a better place. The house is like a dream, with a nice terrace looking into the beach and the sea. My favourite part was the bathroom, which was outdoor but really sheltered. Jorge was very kind and helpful. In the room there is good coffee (real one) and a cafetière. Next door there is a restaurant where we had wonderful breakfast every day and the best pizza in Colombia (I am Italian and really fussy about pizza). We could park the car just behind the property.

The beach house of Gaelia is very beautiful and the view right from the terrace is amazing with ocean view. If you want to have a very relaxed laid-back place, go here! We were welcomed with a fresh coconut from the trees that are around the beach house. The people that run it couldn't be more kind. The food at Blue Mango is very tasty. Thank you Jorge & Luis Daniel & Marcela!

“PARADISE !”
Simply in paradise. The flat is everyone's dream, complete relaxation, the owners super welcoming and the structure super new and designer. You fall asleep with the waves of the sea and wake up with the sea in front of you. PARADISE ON EARTH. Great food, swimming pool and a stone's throw on the beach lidos where you can go dancing in the evening. In short, PERFECT holiday . I was also able to have a wonderful massage while listening to the waves of the sea just after waking up. What ask much ?

“A perfect place - you have the advantage of having your own place as well as being able to use the facilities of Blue Ma”
The location and the view is amazing! The beach bungalow (great bed, gorgeous open bathroom) is also brand new and very beautifully designed. There is a fan above all the beds and a mini bar.

“Fantastic place on the beach with a dreamy ocean view.”
The pictures dont really do any justice. The place is fantastic. Probably the best ocean view we’ve ever had and it was literally only a few steps away from the balcony. Great pool and restaurant next door, which is included for guests at Gaelia. Bed was very comfortable, perfect with the big ceiling fan and constant ocean breeze. Staff was great, especially Jorge who was quick to help with anything we needed.
