Guest Reviews

• LAURENCE (10/5): - Nous avons tout aimé : les hôtes adorables, l’hôtel, la vue. Un charme fou dans un petit coin de paradis
• Adriana Paola (10/5): Un Hotel localizado entre las rocas frente al mar. Vista espectacular para desconectarse. - El Hotel se encuentra muy bien ubicado. Se duerme con el sonido del mar, el aire hace muy fresco el lugar. La vista es espectacular. Todo fue perfecto.
• olivier (8/5): Nous avons passé une semaine magnifique dans un village où nous reviendrons ! - L’emplacement, le petit déjeuner , le panier petit dej quand on part en excursion, la propreté , les conseils de Monica , l’esprit cabane au bord de l’eau , la vue sur la mer, les alentours de l’hôtel , l’accès à la pkage L’hôtel aurait besoin de quelques rénovations (peintures extérieures ) et aménagements ( entrée les pieds dans la boue)
• UsaamahMohammed (7/5): Very scenic and worth the money spent. Whale watching is a must to do in your life. - I like that Mrs Monica was very pleasant, helpful and on time with everything. She helped us book all our tours and transportation which helped us out a lot. Maybe the toilet’s could’ve been cleaner as my family complained about that. One additional thing is that a platform could be placed infront the house before entering so that shoes can be kept clean without getting muddy.
• Viviana (10/5): Superó mi expectativa - La ubicación, tiene una vista espectacular, es un lugar muy agradable. La amabilidad de Monica, estuvo muy al pendiente de nosotros e incluso el último día tuvo el detalle de enviarnos refrigerio pues nuestro vuelo salía temprano
• Daniela (10/5): - El Valle en general es un sitio de ensueño, un paraíso. Estuvimos muy a gusto en el hotel, el personal muy amable y el desayuno muy rico, gracias
• Charlotte (10/5): Un rêve - Le petit hôtel de Monica est situé dans un cadre idyllique avec une vue exceptionnelle sur une des plus belles plages de Colombie. Nous avons eu la chance d'apercevoir des baleines depuis le mirador, un spectacle inoubliable. Cet endroit restera dans notre mémoire pour toujours, nous étions comme dans un rêve.
• Ying-Fang (7/5): The host is kind and helpful, offering great support with organization and logistics. - The location is perfect—right in front of the beach, offering an excellent and unique view. It’s not directly in the most popular areas, which provides a balanced atmosphere. Additionally, it’s situated at the beginning of the road, close to commercial zones. While the property shows signs of age, a bit of maintenance and cleaning will easily bring out its character and potential. I fully understand the nature of the tropical and rainy climate, and I’m aware of the upkeep it requires—this is all taken into consideration.
• Torres (8/5): Ubicación única - Ubicación la mejor del Valle El ingreso al hotel, pero entiendo que lo están acomodando
• Julia (10/5): Exceptional - The location was absolutely fabulous. You hear and see the ocean from the bedroom, while at breakfast or enjoying time in a hammock. Super nice host, good breakfast. It is a bumpy way to get there, but then you end up in paradise, so it is definitely worth it. Just keep in mind: you are at the end of the world in nature. There may not be huge water pressure/temperature adjustment possibilities and you also have mosquitos and it is surely an immense act to get everything there
• Carolina (8/5): Great atmosphere to disconnect and discover the remote surroundings - It has a great view over the beach, and almost 360 degree view, the host was super welcoming and always supportive with tips and information, easy to get to and from the town, and a lot of space for few guests, very quiet The hotel its been around for a very long time and has a very advantageous location, however most of the facilities need maintenance and a general renovation. Furniture and painting could be renewed to keep up with the high standards of the hotel. The internet is unstable, you shouldn’t rely on the WiFi.
• Sanna (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing stay at El Morro, incredible location right on the beach with lots of space and common area. Mónica was such an attentive host, helping to organize transportation as well as local tours with trusted guides. Muchísimas gracias otra vez y hasta la próxima!
• Katherine (10/5): Cozy accommodation right on the beach - The location of El Morro was fantastic- right on the beach with amazing views of the ocean from our room. It was close to town with restaurants right across the street. We had friends stay at other accommodations and ours was by far the best. It was quiet with just the sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep. Breakfast was made fresh every morning.
• Jörn-volker (9/5): Superb - Lovely Place with a friendly and helpful host. delicious breakfast with a superb view over the beach and the sea. Nice place to stay and to make guided excursions in the jungle or to go whalewatching.
• Unicum (9/5): Superb - Monica was a fantastic host! The location is fantastic, right at the beach!! Just keep in mind where you're going; it's the tropics and on the sea side, so not everything will look brand new.
• Claudio (9/5): Superb - The position is unique, overlooking the majestic playa El Almejal. Considering the remoteness of the area and the difficulty of supplies of any kind, the accommodation is pretty good. The view and the constant sound of the ocean make up for any flaw anyway. Monica is a very kind and available host! Some reparations are needed, for example in our bathroom door and shower, and the price is a bit above the average.
• Andrew (9/5): The best place to stay on the beach! - - the location, right at the start of the beach - the mirador (wow)! With a pair of binoculars we spent hours watching whales breaching and hummingbirds in the trees nearby. Truly incredible - Monica's hospitality and friendliness. When we got up earlier than breakfast time for excursions she had coffee and a great packed lunch ready, and when our flight was canceled she had a room ready for us Some of the infrastructure needs a little bit of maintenance. The mirador is what made our stay in El Valle truly unforgettable, and makes the bnb stand head and shoulders above the hostels on the beach, but it is a little dilapidated. It would be a huge shame if it became unusable
• Sarah (8/5): Very good - Monica the owner is amazing! She immediately made us feel welcome and helped us organise tours. She had great suggestions of where to eat. The location is the best in El Valle, right on the beach
• Katharina (10/5): Exceptional - The best place we stayed. Monica Was really nice. We felt like home. Incredible view and location. Great cats and dog. Amazing room with beach view. Everything clean. Big bathroom with a lot of space for our stuff. We felt so welcomed... we will come back:-)
• Fabian (10/5): Incredible experience, after only half day felt Totally disconnected and in peace. Mónica is Absolutely supportive in ev - The Location! Without doubt the best Location/view in El Valle. Monica is an amazing Host who makes sure that everything about your trip and local tours runs smooth. Every day rooms were cleaned/fresh sheets or towels if needed. A place to Calm down, enjoying the Sounds of the sea. Restaurants are close by. Tours can be organized through Monica.
• Butler (10/5): Best place in town! - Location - best view in town of Playa Almejal. Lots of comfy nooks with different views. Monica was an excellent host and took care of all our needs. The cats and dog were an extra bonus!
• Magdalena (10/5): Amazing location and super helpful host! - Amazing hotel in a perfect location on the beach in el Valle. Monica was super attentive to us from before we arrived, helping us organize tours and activities and providing suggestions. The room was clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed the social areas/deck for relaxing in the afternoons. Good breakfast considering the lack of options for ingredients in El Valle. We really enjoyed our stay at El Morro!
• Parada (10/5): Amazing place! 20/10 - Mónica is very kind and helpful, the location is amazing, the room is very comfortable, it's walking distance from everything in town and also private and quiet. Keep in mind that you're in the tropical rainforest, bugs, storms and humidity are to be expected and part of the experience, enjoy!
• Peter (8/5): Very good - PROS: - amazing views to the beach, probably the best in the village - Monica is a great host who is engaged with the local community - several different spaces to relax and watch the ocean - nice chill vibe CONS - the beds are very uncomfortable (regardless, I somehow slept pretty well) - the wifi only exists in theory (not a huge issue for me)
• Adam (10/5): Holiday at the Hill 🙌 - Monica's place overlooks the beach. The view is absolutely stunning and you can walk down to the beach in seconds or into the village in about 10 minutes. The room was clean and spacious and also had a view of the beach. Plenty of hammocks to relax and enjoy the view and a good book The Pacific coast is one of my favorite places we visited in Colombia and staying in El Valle for the whale watching was convenient. I doubt you'll find a better place or a better host in El Valle who speaks both English and Spanish Thank you Monica 🙌
• Zita (10/5): Amazing! - We had a fantastic 4-night stay at El Morro Hosteria in El Valle. Monica, the owner, is a wonderful host, and the ocean-view room was perfect. The spacious rooms are cleaned daily, a kitchen is available, and Monica prepares delicious breakfasts. Her organized trips, including whale watching, were a highlight. El Valle offers a peaceful, non-touristy experience. Plus, the presence of six friendly cats and a lovely dog added to the charm. Highly recommended! This has nothing to do with the Hotel: Please be aware that there is only one ATM in El Valle, and its functionality can be weather-dependent. It's advisable to withdraw cash in advance and bring it with you, as payments are conducted in cash.
• Vyara (7/5): Good! - Great location, comfortable rooms. Breakfast is included and Monika helped to organise the transport from and to the airport for us. The pizzeria across the street is a rip-off and organising activities in El Valle in general can take lots of time and leave you hanging. It's just how it is from what we understood.
• Laura (10/5): Amazing B&B in El Valle! - El Morro is situated directly at the beach and the rooms have a stunning view! I can only recommend the place for visiting the Pacific Coast! Also the host Monica is really nice and can recommend some nice day trips. Nothing we didn’t like!
• Camilla (5/5): Passable - Beautiful view Electricity was fully missing meaning no fan and no fridge. In addition the kitchen room closes at 8.30 so no cold drinks after that. Considering the structure and the context, I would not consider this option as a good value for money.
• Claire (8/5): Very good - The view of the beach and the sea was unbelievable. Monica was so lovely and kind she was so so helpful in helping us book adventures! The Wi-Fi was a bit tricky (could be a positive if you are trying to get away) and I think was an issue with the area not just at the hotel.
• Clyde (8/5): Very good -
• Iolani (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay at El Morro, beautiful view on Almejal beach and Monica is very helpful with the tours, booking the transfers and getting to know this beautiful region of Colombia None
• Harry (10/5): 10/10 - This is a really lovely place and I had a brilliant stay here. Monica is very friendly and helpful and makes great breakfasts. Luna and the cats are also great company.
• Vaughan (10/5): The Best Views and location to Relax and Disconnect - The views of the beach are spectacular from our room and social spaces. Everything was very comfortable, and an extremely relaxed atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruits and juices cereals and eggs how you like, good coffee etc. Monica was such a great host and so helpful about organising tours and recomendations of where to eat. Nothing! Exceptional value. Was beyond expectation.
• Marvin (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome location with beautiful views to the see, nice room, Monica and Jupi are very nice hosts.
• Chloe (10/5): beautiful spot with incredible views across the bay and great hosts who helped arrange trips - amazing views across the bay and nice areas to relax and enjoy the view
• Sarah (10/5): magical - Beautiful property run by very lovely staff. Very clean and spacious in a perfect location. Breakfast was amazing. Nothing it was great
• Tcmark (9/5): Stunning views, beach, friendly hosts and locals, very relaxing. Thank you Monica and Jupi! - The location of El Morro Hosteria is exceptional, on top of a hill, right on the beach, with spectacular views of the ocean and the surrounding areas. There are several decks on top of the house where you can see and hear birds early in the morning. The property itself is a bit rustic, which is typical of the area, but it's very spacious and we also had access to a shared kitchen and all the common areas including the decks and garden. Monica and Jupi, our hosts made us feel at home right away. They are super friendly, open and accommodating. She prepared the most delicious breakfast every morning - and even did a demonstration of how she extracts the juice from a coconut she just plucked from the tree in their garden. They also helped arrange hikes and canoe trips with local guides.
• Jake (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aaron (8/5): Wonderful stay at El Morro. The location and ocean outside the window was world class. - Wonderful hosts, absolutely loved the breakfasts. Be sure to try Monica’s star fruit jam!
• Lewis (10/5): Idyllic - Very helpful owners (fluent in English) helped arrange trips, gave useful advice and friendly conversation. Location is amazing and the building is very unique. Definitely worth visiting this area whilst places like this still exist 👍.
• Joe (10/5): Beautiful place, great hospitality! - Monica and Jupi were fabulous hosts, very caring and attentive, helping us to book tours, and giving good recommendations. The location on the beach is the best in the area. Breakfast was plentiful. This is the best place you can stay in the Bahia Solano area. Would be good to fix the lock on the bathroom door, that’s all! and just a heads up that the area is quite remote without many shops, so bring plenty of mosquito repellant, and any snacks if you have dietary requirements e.g vegan (the local restaurants mainly serve fish and rice) :)
• Santiago (9/5): Incredible stay at el Valle - Choco - Just Amazing! What an incredible place to be at el Valle.
• Lisa (8/5): Very good - Nice clean hotel. Good breakfast. Claudia is a lovely and kind lady. The showers are hot.
• Joanna (1/5): Bad -
• Mike (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martina (8/5): Amazing, but you have to be able to live without a few comforts you are used to - Amazing location Connection between the hotel and beach restaurants. Not something the hotel is responsible for but with high tide it can be difficult to get back to the hotel.
• Chuan (10/5): Best place to stay on playa el almejal - Best view of playa el Almejal from your windows, and a lovely room that is well furnished. Monica and Jupi were tremendous hosts and I will miss them! None
• Linda (10/5): We felt it was the perfect place to relax and explore the area. - Monica and Juipe made us feel right at home. They have built a beautiful B&B right next to the beach. it has the best views with multiple levels to relax on. Every guest is given their own hammock to relax in and we are able to cook in the kitchen as we please. the bedrooms were very comfortable with great ocean views and protective mosquito nets. we really enjoyed our stay! Monica also helped organise various tours so that we could go whale watching and explore the ational park Utria, see the waterfalls of El Tigre and know where to eat. The wifi was a bit unstable and we at times couldn’t access it. but this was a minor point as most of the time r were out and about or enjoying the views.
• Sascha (10/5): The hosts were so nice and welcoming! We had a beautiful room with a stunning sea-view. - The hosts were so nice and welcoming! We had a beautiful room with a stunning sea-view. They helped us with nice trips around el Valle. We could use the kitchen and there were plenty of common areas that we could use. No
