Hotel MadreSierra Parque Tayrona

Little paradise. Far from the main road. Wild river to swim in. A beautiful swimming pool with a big shallow space for kids. Beautiful surroundings. Sounds of birds and frogs and water. Great food. We spent an amazing week here. Including the guided hike up to the Terrazas Bunkuany (Carlos was a fabulous guide, and his cousin served us a big yummy lunch at her restaurant in the mountains).

Would be useful to add a small shelf in the room (for clothes and little things).

What a great experience !! Hotel was amazing with great equipments and a lovely team!! Be aware the hotel is hard to reach (which makes it very unique, quiet and remote) and there is not many options to arrive at the hotel. Not a big deal just need to plan in advance

The restaurant is very good but price are high due to the remote location this is the only options so it can add up easily

Most beautiful place I've ever been to in my life!

Location, staff, facilities and bungalows

Bed was a bit uncomfortable for me

Incredibly tranquil location surrounded by the beauty of nature at the confluence of two rivers. The staff and food were great. The cabins are comfortable.

It's difficult to get to. The road in is long and bumpy luckily they provide the 4wd shuttle and a great driver.

We booked only 1 night at MadreSierra to bridge the gap between our Tayrona trip and our way back to Cartagena. What a mistake - we should have stayed a week!! This is the most hidden away paradise you can imagine. Everything from the service by lovely Fernando with complimentary welcome cocktails to bringing our bags up and down to the room and turning up our jacuzzi. This was an utter surprise and delight for our tired hiking bodies. They’ve accommodated our room changes even though they didn’t have to, made us complimentary brownies when we mentioned we craved chocolate and simply have been fantastic in every regard. This place also - just wow! You have WiFi to work, amazing nature, great food, natural pools in the river and a regular pool about to be finished.

The only thing you have to keep in mind is that the road to the hotel is very(!!) tricky and absolutely impossible without a 4x4. So take their offer of a pickup from the main road and just relax on your journey into paradise.

En general la experiencia fue decepcionante, el concepto es fenómenal porque las cabañas estan en medio de la selva y sobre el río, Sin embargo hospedarnos allí no fue muy conveniente para nosotros. El hotel no tiene acceso en carro porque la vía es destapada, en muy malas condiciones y muy muy empinada, solo entra 4X4, así que tuvimos que dejar el auto en el parqueadero del hotel, vereda el calabazo, para subir en la 4X4 del hotel (15 Min), otra opción caminando (3 km) o en moto, pero el día anterior llovió mucho y como el rio estaba creciendo no subían las motos. La 4X4 del hotel solo tiene dos salidas, una en la mañana y otra en la tarde, fuera de esas opciones tienen un costo de $77.000 COP por cada trayecto. Las cabañas parecen sin terminar, a la nuestra (Tucan) le faltaban cosas básicas, como closet o un lugar donde poner la ropa, soportes donde colgar las toallas del baño, soporte para el papel higiénico, una manija para abrir la puerta de la cabaña que es muy pesada y faltaban algunos vidrios en las ventanas. La comunicación con la Recepción del hotel es difícil, porque se tiene poca o nula señal celular o WiFi desde la cabaña, y las cabaña no tiene teléfono fijo. No lo recomiendo en absoluto para personas mayores, con dificultades para caminar, con miedo a las alturas o con niños muy curiosos o inquietos, porque algunos tramos del camino no tienen pasamanos, lo que lo hace peligroso. El personal es muy amable y trabajado, algunos hacen turnos de más de 12 horas día

The place is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen

The views are amazing, you definitely will enjoy leaving the city behind and enjoy the beautiful rainforest and everything that comes with it. The limited transportation is the only down side but it’s worth every penny.
