Guest Reviews

• Maylis (10/5): - The view is amazing especially at sunset and the staff was extremely nice and accommodating!
• ELENI (10/5): - Άψογη τοποθεσία! Υπέροχες παροχές! Πηγαίνεις ακόμη κ με τα πόδια στο χωριό! Ότι καλύτερο!
• La conciergerie de rêve (10/5): Notre meilleure expérience en Colombie - La vue incroyable, des couchers de soleil de rêve. Léon et son équipe sont au petit soin, on ne se lasse pas des cocktails devant le coucher du soleil, les oiseaux et la vue ! Bonus feu de camp pour profiter de la soirée. Salle de bain au top. Carafe filtrante pour avoir de l'eau à volonté. Super literie Léon nous a même aidé à rapatrier des affaires oubliées On recommande+++++ N'hésitez pas à y passer plusieurs nuits.
• Belky (10/5): Gran lugar para estar en minca - La cabaña muy linda, la vista del mirador espectacular y el anfitrión muy amable. Todo perfecto
• Lionel (10/5): - Incredible place! Very friendly service, communication was very easy through WhatsApp with Leon. Room had an incredible view and you can really hear the birds and the sounds of the forest! The viewpoint is really the best, with amazing drinks and bartender. Will come back!
• berengere (10/5): - Tout etait parfait
• René (7/5): Nachts etwas kühl und unruhig. Tags schöner view. - Sehr viel grün und schöner Ausblick. Der Host - ein gebürtiger Argentinier - war sehr nett und hat schnell geantwortet. Das Casa ist relativ gross mit grossem balkon. Habe nachts nicht gut schlafen können. Da das holzhaus nur gitter und keine Glasfenster hat, war Schlaf etwas unruhig und kühl. Preis ist doch erwas hoch für Minna generell. Lampen waren etwas dunkel.
• Els (10/5): Perfect welcome with an excellent cocktail at the mirador, followed by a relaxing stay in a spacious cabin with amazing - Lovely, spacious cabin with amazing view. Great design and eye for detail, has everything you could possibly need!
• Gill (9/5): A beautiful setting - A lovely large property. We were lucky as stayed in TiTi so didn't have to walk up lots of steps to get to it. The bar at the look out was good but there were a family using drones whilst watching the sunset which is quite off putting and intrusive. The staff were all very friendly and very easy to communicate with. There needed to be an outside table to sit and eat from. Don't want to Cook to have to then sit inside. I know they say there is a problem with mosquitos but we didnt get bitten using jungle formula. They also have tables at the look out which would be perfect to use on the patio.
• Alexandre (10/5): - Nous avons passé deux nuits incroyables à La Casa del Mono à Minca. L’endroit est magnifique, en pleine nature, avec une atmosphère très paisible et dépaysante. On se réveille avec les sons de la jungle et une vue superbe, ce qui rend l’expérience vraiment unique. L’accueil a été très chaleureux et toute l’équipe a été attentionnée pendant notre séjour. On se sent rapidement comme à la maison. L’endroit est parfait pour se déconnecter, se reposer et profiter de la nature autour de Minca. Un grand merci pour ces deux jours mémorables. Nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésiter et reviendrons avec plaisir !
• Anne (10/5): Het was fantastisch verblijf. Personeel helpt je goed en spreken goed Engels. - De plek was erg fijn. Ook om even tot rust te komen. Fijne bedden en een warme douche en veel ruimte. Eigenlijk helemaal niets.
• Jessica (10/5): Everything was amazing, strongly recommend! - Amazing location with terrific views. Beautiful cabin with everything you need for the stay and you can take your dinners near the bar/ lookout while ordering to be delivered from the town! Owner is so nice and welcoming- recommend to stay here 100% Nothing! It is a bit of a walk up the hill from the town (15 min maybe) but an easy and cheap ride up with the moto taxis. We didn’t mind at all but good to be aware
• Damien (10/5): Magnifique séjour à Minca - Vue magnifique, très bien situé à Minca pour profiter de l’environnement, maison très confortable et très bien équipée (machine à laver ++). Personnel adorable et accueillant. Attention pour ceux qui ont un sommeil léger, les cigales sont très bruyantes, mais c’est normal car on est en pleine nature
• Saskia (10/5): Liebevoll, einzigartig, super Aussicht, tolle Einrichtung. - Die Unterkunft ist nagelneu und super liebevoll hergerichtet. Es ist alles sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gebaut und eingerichtet worden. Ich mochte das Netz auf der Terrasse und die Hängematte total gerne. Man erreicht Minca zu Fuß und für unsere Rückreise wurde ein Fahrer organisiert, der pünktlich auf uns gewartet hat. Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht dort und kommen definitiv wieder. Leon ist ein super freundlicher Gastgeber und es war uns ein große Freude einen Tag unseres Urlaubs bei ihm zu verbringen. ---
• Gustavo (10/5): Hospitalidade, conforto e vista espetacular! - Tudo! A cabana é linda, limpa, decorada com muito bom gosto e tem uma vista simplesmente espetacular! Fomos com nossos filhos de 6 e 8 anos e nos sentimos perfeitamente seguros e confortáveis. Fomos muito bem recebidos por Federico, que nos deu de cortesia frutas frescas e um vinho! Tínhamos à nossa disposição um livro com muitas informações sobre a região e serviços disponíveis (como restaurantes, massagens, passeios), mas o próprio Federico nos passou todas as dicas e orientações e sempre esteve disponível para qualquer necessidade. A cabana está muito bem equipada com utensílios de cozinha, máquina de lavar roupa, varal, ventiladores, lanterna, repelente, binóculo, guarda-chuvas e um filtro de água, o que é muito conveniente. Também gostamos muito de termos diversos jogos à nossa disposição. As crianças amaram! O banheiro é ótimo e o chuveiro tem água quente. As camas e travesseiros são confortáveis. Subir no mirante para ver o pôr do sol é uma experiência imperdível! Vista maravilhosa, recepção calorosa do barman John e suas bebidas deliciosas. Enfim, amamos nossa estadia na Casa del Mono! Um lugar para relaxar e apreciar a natureza. Muito obrigada por tudo! De termos que ir embora
• Agnieszka (10/5): -
• Angela (10/5): Highly recommend if you are wanting to explore Minca and have your own private , well equipped cabin. - Beautiful location. A peaceful oasis. We didn’t have a car and so walked on and out of Minca. Certainly got our exercise! The staff were very helpful and friendly! The evening sunset patio is lovely! We really enjoyed it and don’t have any complaints!
• Claudia (10/5): Fantastisch - Prachtige lodge! Zeer goed ingericht en mooiste uitzicht op de natuur en in de verte Santa Marta.
• JEAN DAVID (10/5): C’était top. Merci beaucoup. - Tout était. Minca est très sympa mais c’est vraiment ce lieu qui rend l’endroit magique. Toute l’équipe et en particulier Federico font tout pour vous rendre le séjour exceptionnel. J’espère vraiment avoir l’occasion de revenir. Merci beaucoup 🙏🏻 Rien
• Maurits (10/5): - Eine unfassbar liebevolle Unterkunft mit noch netterem Personal. Sogar nach unserem Aufenthalt konnten wir über WhatsApp mit Frederico in Kontakt bleibe, um passende Transporte zu organisieren und Tipps einzuholen! 11/10 für diese Unterkunft!!!
• Wanderluster08 (10/5): Amazing treetop gem in Minca - Well worth the little splurge for our group for the best chalet. The owner Leon met us on arrival even though we didn't know what time we would arrive, showing us our room with a spectacular view - very clean, well equipped kitchen, complementary local coffee (and even a great bottle of wine) and local recommendations. The nightly bar was great to have and since we didn't have a car, they helped us order food to be delievered to us (Lazy Cat was pretty good). We would stay again despite the ~15-20min walk up the hill if you walk into town during the day. Honestly, nothing - while we would have loved to have a pool after the uphill afternoon climbs from town since it cools down in Minca, we see that it would be alot to maintain a pool for a relatively small property. We would hide in the shade or take a cool shower upon return
• marielle (10/5): Geweldig!! Een echte aanrader! - Een paradijs, de zonsondergang vanuit de hangmatten bij de bar. Echt fantastisch! Het is een romantische en sfeervolle plek in Minca Er zijn muggen, het is de jungle
• Jack (10/5): Great place, great service from Paula and Jon. The bar view is really special - Everything Nothing
• Yeisson (10/5): We stayed at La Casa del Mono and had a fantastic experience overall. The cabins are lovely and comfortable, and the vie - We stayed at La Casa del Mono and had a fantastic experience overall. The cabins are lovely and comfortable, and the views from the bar are absolutely magnificent. The bartender was excellent, serving great cocktails and creating a really nice atmosphere. The location is close to the road, so there can be some occasional noise from mototaxis going up and down to nearby glampings, but it didn’t take away from our stay. The owner, León, and the manager, Paula, were outstanding hosts. Our stay coincided with a marriage proposal, and León went above and beyond to help make it special—even surprising us with a bottle of cava. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, with great hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and a memorable experience. We would definitely recommend it. Everything was amazing the occasional noise from the road, other than that was very nice experience
• Katrien (10/5): - De locatie, de mensen, de vibe!!: TOP! Aanrader!
• Rasmus (10/5): 10/10 recommendation here - Everything really. Beautiful location, super welcoming and helpful staff, the bar, the viewpoint. You’re woken up early by some of the nearby roosters 🤣 … which is absolutely part of the experience
• maria (10/5): Top plekje! - Alles heel mooi en fijn
• Karen (10/5): Paradise on the hill overlooking Minca town. - La Casa del Mono is absolute paradise. It's a boutique property with 4 large bungalows set on the hill above Minca town. The bungalows are absolutely heaven with a view over the valley down to Santa Marta, from both 'inside' (there are no windows, just screens to keep bugs out) and the large balcony. It is extremely well appointed with a large kitchen and even a washing machine which was very much appreciated after a muddy day of quad biking. Paula is super lovely and helpful and able to arrange whatever is needed and John at the bar makes a mean Caprioska. The property is isolated enough to be extremely chilled and relaxing, but only a 5-minute drive to the bustling Minca town. Absolutely nothing!
• Raymond (10/5): Excellent! - Our two bedroom cabin boasted beautiful views, smart TV, fully stocked kitchen, coffee, filtered drinking water, games, hot shower, and tasteful design. 15 minute walk to town down a mountain so we always took a local taxi back for 30,000 COP. Staff are very friendly and helpful with recommendations.
• Stefan Kazuo (10/5): A breathtaking jungle oasis with a world-class team - First of all this is a beautiful place! Not only Minca but especially La Casa Del Mono. It’s right in the middle of nature and the air is beautifully refreshing. Just the right place to relax and enjoy nature. We really liked the team (Paula, Leon, John & Alex) who supported us with guidance and hospitality before we arrived, during our stay and even after we left. We had one of the larger cabins with four people. It was very spacious, clean, fully equipped with kitchen utensils and board games. The own terrace provided an amazing view. But also the deck and bar at the top was a great spot to relax, pass time and meet other people. The walk to the town center was approx. 10 minutes downhill and approx. 15 minutes uphill. Just when it is dark we recommend to use your cellphone flashlight for visibility. The delivery service from restaurants in town worked well and the team can help you with ordering. Overall our stay exceeded our expectations and we extended for one more night spontaneously.
• Joren (10/5): -
• Mayur (10/5): A perfect blend of relaxation, nature and exceptional service — an unforgettable stay. - I stayed for two nights and wished I had booked longer. The location is perfect. Peaceful, surrounded by nature and close to both the town square and Pozo Azul waterfalls. The views, especially from the viewpoint were stunning. The staff were excellent and Paula deserves special mention for her attentive and helpful support throughout my stay. A fantastic place to relax, enjoy nature, and experience the beauty of the Minca, Sierra Nevada. Highly recommended.
• Kuthumi (10/5): - L’hébergement, la nature environnante et le bar 👌 Rien. Tout était parfait !
• Carolyn (7/5): Ok -staff were great - Beautiful wildlife and views Mosquitoes and lots of steps Bedrooms had open partitions
• Leidys (10/5): Perfect - The place was amazing private yet close to restaurant and downtown Minca. Fabulous view and Leon was an amazing host. They have their own bar and they help you get food delivered to the property if you decide to stay in for the night. 100% recommend it.
• Cathleen (10/5): -
• Alexandra (10/5): The Perfect Minca Spot - Massive bungalow, (for 2 of us) set up with a Kitchen and all the required equipment to use it properly. The washing machine was a great extra too. The balcony was great with the netted laying area. The site is only 1km from town so a walk down and to surrounding areas was easy. Plenty of moto taxi options to run you back up the hill to the front gate when done. The viewpoint and bar were great! Great staff and great communication from Paula from start to finish! Hard to believe we had better wifi & hot water here than we did in Santa Marta & Burritaca! Highly recommend. A pool would top it off, if I’m being picky! However, we knew this when booking, as well as no on-site restaurant. But we were happy to get a break from all of that.
• Astrid (9/5): -
• Nina (10/5): Dschungelfeeling mit Komfort und unglaublicher Aussicht - - Aussichtspunkt einzigartig. Wunderschön! - Bei der Ausstattung der Unterkunft wurde an alles gedacht (Regenschirm, Taschenlampe, Spiele, komplette Kochausrüstung) - Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und organisiert alles, was man benötigt. Alle sprechen auch englisch. - Paula (Managerin) hat uns den Transport nach Minca und nach Palomino organisiert und ist den ganzen Tag für alle Fragen per Whatsapp erreichbar. - Leon (Besitzer) hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen uns gezeigt wie alles funktioniert. - Die Unterkunft liegt nur 15 Gehminuten von Minca Stadt entfernt (die meisten ähnlichen Unterkünfte sind viel weiter weg). - Die Drinks an der Bar (von John) sind alle sehr lecker und da er gleichzeitig auch Tourguide ist, kann man bei ihm auch gleich Touren (in englisch oder spanisch) buchen. - Man kann über John oder einen Lieferservice essen in die Unterkunft liefern lassen. Wir haben das jeweils für das Nachtessen gemacht und konnten dann mit dieser schönen Aussicht unser Essen geniessen. - Badezimmer und Küche sehr modern. - Guter Schutz durch Mückennetz ums Haus und über den Betten (falls benötigt). - Das Haus liegt wie ganz Minca im Dschungel, deshalb kann es teilweise Insekten im Haus haben, wobei es in dieser Unterkunft viel weniger sind als üblich. - Aktuell gibt es nur Unterkünfte für vier Personen (zwei Kingsize-Betten), wobei dies uns bewusst war.
• Ben (8/5): The most beautiful views and tranquility matched by wonderful and attentive staff. - The views from the balcony and the view point are unmatched in Minca. It’s so peaceful and the cabins are well equipped for what you need. As the cabins don’t have windows (just mosquito nets) it can get quite chilly in the evenings - they do provide blankets to make sleeping more comfortable but would have been useful to have that knowledge in advance to pack accordingly.
• AdamGeneral (10/5): A Perfect Stay in the Heart of Minca’s Nature - Truly an amazing place. I spent a long time looking for the right stay around Minca, and I’m really glad I chose La Casa Del Mono. Our stay was fantastic - beautiful, charming, and surprisingly mosquito-free thanks to the well-designed mosquito nets all around the house. We did see a few tiny ants, but nothing out of the ordinary and definitely not bothersome. The location is excellent: close to hiking trails, restaurants, and Minca itself. It’s easy to access (not on some difficult off-road path!), yet still feels private, peaceful, and cozy. We heard some distant music one evening, but it didn’t last long. The real soundtrack was the monkeys in the morning -once we even saw them walking through the trees nearby! The host was super friendly, helpful, and very communicative. A solid 5-star stay. Honestly, nothing major. We had a short power outage one morning, but it came back quickly.
• Anna (10/5): - Klimat miejsca, chatki ze wszystkimi udogodnieniami, wygodne łożka, świetny taras z pięknym widokiem. Cudowne miejsce widokowe z barem. Całość ekipy pomocna, komunikatywna i przemiła. Wielkie podziękowania i mam nadzieję do zobaczenia... kiedyś 😀
• Daniel (10/5): The perfect stay! - I've stayed in a lot of lodge-type places across Africa and Asia, but have never stayed in one where every single thing is thought about and considered. Casa de Mono has a few different lodges scattered around in the grounds. We stayed in the one called 'Cabaña Aulladur' which from what I can tell has the best view. The lodge is seriously kitted out. It has everything from yoga mats and hiking sticks to torches and a first aid kit. It has a hammock inside and out, has all the appliances you could want to cook and eat with, and even a washing machine, water filtration system and TV. Furthermore, arriving to a complementary fruit bowl and bottle of wine is adorable. It's all very well designed, beautifully curated and despite having lovely soft furnishings and plenty of pillows and cushions, it doesn't smell damp. Quite a feat! Paula is so informative and was so helpful before arrival and on arrival. She was also on hand throughout our stay (Alex too) and helped organise transportation to La Victoria coffee farm, and even getting a takeaway dropped off to our lodge from a restaurant in the village. What fabulous service! The bar area and view point (open 1600-2100) within the grounds serve delicious and creative cocktails using local produce and other drinks - a perfect way to watch an amazing sunset with Lisa - the friendliest cat! They'll even set a table for you and help you get a takeaway delivered from any restaurant in town, if you don't feel like the 15 minute walk. This place was so beautiful we didn't want to leave. It truly was a spectacular stay!
• Elie (10/5): - First off, the best part of the whole place was the amazing team, especially Paula! We can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of us and helping out with transportation and planning things around the area. The place itself is pure heaven on earth. You wouldn’t believe how refreshed and full of energy you’ll feel surrounded by those beautiful mountains and stunning views. The cabins are spotless, super clean sheets, towels, everything. The bar in the afternoon is the perfect spot to hang out until midnight, and John, the friendly bartender, makes it even better with his delicious drinks. Casa del Mono is highly recommended, I left feeling so refreshed and full of good vibes.
• BERNARD (10/5): Perfecto - My partner and I recently had the immense pleasure of spending three nights at Casa del Mono during our honeymoon, and it was, without exaggeration, absolutely stunning. Tucked away in the mountains of Minca, this location is an absolute paradise that offered us the perfect romantic escape. The first thing that hits you is the breathtaking view. From our cabin, we overlooked the lush, rolling hills—a sight that truly never gets old and provides the most incredible backdrop for morning coffee and sunset cocktails. It’s the kind of view you see on postcards, but infinitely better in person. What truly set Casa del Mono apart was the meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect of our stay was flawlessly managed; we literally didn't need to lift a finger for anything outside of our own food and drinks. The accommodation felt completely self-contained and perfectly equipped, showing that every single detail was thought out. The entire location, from the common areas to the fantastic bar, was kept spotless thanks to the incredible staff. Every person we interacted with was welcoming, attentive, and professional, ensuring our stay was seamless and stress-free. The entire team made us feel like royalty. We loved every single moment of our stay and couldn't recommend Casa del Mono highly enough, especially for couples seeking an idyllic, detail-oriented, and scenic retreat. It's a memory we'll cherish forever.
• Revivo (10/5): - Amazing views in the superior chalet. Helpful staff. Very large comfy beds. Wasn't here for long, didn't see monkeys
• Bastiaan (10/5): Prachtig verblijf midden in de natuur. - Overal is aan gedacht, mooie cabin, ruime kamers, groot balkon met prachtig uitzicht. Bij aankomst staat er fruit, gekoeld water en wijn klaar!
• Lani (10/5): Little jungle oasis - Stunning cabin up the hill 10 mins from minca town but feels like you’re in your own little oasis. Great facilities and so much space. The viewpoint bar is also stunning to watch the sunset
• Stephanie (10/5): Great stay so beautiful , can’t wait to come back! - What I liked most was the atmosphere and just being in nature the decor was so nice and the hosts were amazing!
• Ami (10/5): Stunning Chalet in Minca, breathtaking views. Our best stay in Colombia. - We stayed in the Superior chalet for 3 nights which was spectacular, with the most stunning balcony and views over the Sierra Nevada and Santa Marta. We arrived in Minca tired after a lot of travelling and left truly rejuvenated. Such special memories made here and Paula is an outstanding host. The cocktails from the bar along with the views from the Mirador viewpoint were breathtaking. Our best stay in Colombia and I would recommend it 1000%. Absolutely nothing to dislike :)
• kathleen (10/5): It was fantastic I have only positive remarks - The location was wonderful The view from the back deck was amazing The cabin was well appointed and comfortable The staff were exceptional We will be returning It’s a bit of a climb but worth every step
• Maria (10/5): Lovely, comfortable, and amazing. The best place to stay in Minca, I am sure of it! The most luxurious cabin in the moun - La Casa del Mono is the perfect cabin “in the woods (jungle)”. We visited with our 7 month old baby and my dad and we all had the best time! They’ve made sure to keep the cabin (chalet) very cozy, modern, and comfortable. We really loved it! It’s worth mentioning the viewpoint at the property… it’s just the best view in Minca! There was nothing that we didn’t like about the property! It was very well equipped and comfortable.
• Lucas (10/5): Leon war ein sehr zuvorkommender und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Wenn man eine Frage hatte, konnte man ihn jederzeit kontak - Die Lage war sehr gut und man hatte einen sehr schönen Ausblick von der Terrasse. Auch verfügte die Unterkunft über alles was man brauchte.
• Paula (10/5): - Todo espectacular. El alojamiento es precioso, tiene todo lo que necesitas. De la propiedad todo genial.
• Anne (10/5): Incredible cabin in the middle of nature, a must for anyone visiting Minca! - One of the best accomodations we have ever stayed in! In the middle of nature with incredible views from the balcony. A huge cabin with a fully equipped kitchen, lounge, dining room etc. Even on rainy days it is enjoyable spending time here. It is walking distance from the town and all waterfalls in the area. Excellent communication with Paula who made our stay so comfortable! As the cabin is in nature there can be many bugs inside as well as occasional power outages. Like in all of Minca mosquito repellent is an absolute must.
• Alexandre (8/5): - - Très belle vue sur les montagnes - Cabine confortable - Il n’y avait plus de bois pour faire un feu lors de notre séjour, ce qui est plutôt décevant - Les promos sur les cocktails semblaient aléatoires, avec des prix qui varient de soir en soir
• Mathilde (10/5): Une expérience parfaite ! - Tout était parfait ! Merci beaucoup à Paula et le reste de l’équipe pour son accueil. Nous avons adoré la cabane et le mirador (les cocktails y sont délicieux !)
• johann (9/5): - Schöne Lage und super Aussicht.
• Adeline (10/5): Superbe endroit - La gérante est très professionnelle et sympathique. Elle a vraiment facilité tout notre séjour. La cabane est confortable avec une super douche chaude et tous les produits. La cabane est bien équipée, en cuisine, dans les chambres, salle de bain et il y a des jeux. Quand il fait beau, le balcon est sympa, proche de la nature. Les lits sont confortables. Les services proposés sont également pratiques. Et le top du top, nous avons passé une super soirée simple et jolie pour le coucher du soleil au Mirador et au bar. L'ambiance était géniale, tranquille, confortable et avec une belle vue. Les cocktails sont super bons. Et on nous a aidé à commander à manger en livraison. Merci! Quel dommage pour la pluie au début de notre séjour mais on ne choisit pas la météo. Sinon RAS.
• Ana (10/5): Muy recomendable - Es precioso! La zona muy bonita también, todos muy amables y las cabañas una maravilla. Me gustó todo mucho
• Aída (10/5): Amazing - Everything was perfect
• Linda (10/5): -
• Amanda (10/5): We stayed for a few days as a group of friends. Had a wonderful time on the property. Spends lot of time at the viewpoin - The cabins were clean and comfortable, the views were amazing. Loved the viewpoint for sunsets! NA
• Agnita (10/5): Magical stay in the jungle!! - The ‘cabin’ was decorated in a very tasteful way. We loved the deck and especially also the mirador just above the cabin where you could go for a sundowner / cocktails. Paula was very helpful and explained how we could order food to either the mirador or the cabin. We loved the sounds of the jungle and used the provided yoga mats early in the morning overlooking the jungle. A wonderful and restful stay. Nothing! We had a slight problem with the shower, but it was immediately fixed by Alex when we explained to Paula.
• Julian (10/5): Spectacular Views, cozy space, nice host - The accommodation was amazing and I wish we would have stayed longer. Great views and all you need in the apartment. Also, Paula was a very friendly and helpful host. She even stayed a bit longer to welcome us as we had troubles getting to Minca due to a huge thunderstorm. -
• Astrid (10/5): Heerlijke relaxte locatie in prachtige tropische omgeving - Heel mooi groot huisje, prachtig uitzicht zowel vanaf het enorme terras als vanaf het uitzichtspunt waar ook een heel leuk barretje is met heerlijke cocktails (wij hadden het hoogste huisje met 2 slaapkamers waar je alles heel goed zag). We werden al vroeg wakker door de brulapen en de vogels. De service en vriendelijkheid van het personeel was bijzonder goed. We werden welkom geheten met een uitgebreide uitleg. In het huisje stond een fles wijn, lagen spelletjes, er lag fruit, er is een wasmachine, verrekijker, paraplu’s, kortom aan alles was gedacht. Wij hadden best veel regen maar ook dan kan je bij het uitzichtspunt zitten en er is een food delivery service van verschillende restaurants naar de bar of je huisje. John, de barman, is ook een tourguide, en kan je allerlei tips geven en runt zelf ook tours. Verder een aantal keer gebruik gemaakt van de motor taxi’s, goedkoop en makkelijk. Bv van het dorpje terug naar de accomodatie en ook naar een waterval waar zij veel verder door kunnen dan een auto. Kortom Casa del Mono is een absolute aanrader! Niks waar de accomodatie wat aan kan doen maar in de jungle zitten nu eenmaal muggen dus neem wat stevigs mee. Daarnaast is het wel even een korte klim naar je huisje maar dan heb je ook wel een top uitzicht.
• Gill (10/5): Exceptional Rainforest Hideaway for total relaxation! - We had an awesome view from the terrace and were lucky to book the highest cabin, which offered views over the forest and out to the sea. Everything was perfect 👌 greeted by a bottle of wine 🍷so many thoughtful touches - board games, yoga mats, umbrellas, washing machine, Netflix, and eco water filter. The Mirador and the bar area, run by John, was so well designed with the fireplace, nets, games, and excellent atmospheric lighting! You will love it! 4x4 taxi needed to get up the steep drive. If you don't have a 4x4 taxi, Alex will help you with the bags!
• Lesley (9/5): Great stay with very friendly staff and viewpoint - The staff were super friendly and helpful, the viewpoint upstairs is beautiful with a great bar (good cocktails!) The cabin has a lot of space and is well served when you arrive! It’s a 10 minute walk downhill (and back uphill) to go to the center, which is fine. There is a great welcome book with good tips, also for a cab or motortaxi. Would definitely recommend the place! It’s what you prefer, the cabin has mosquitoes nets to close it off but for us that didn’t help enough for rainy season. So not something bad but good to take into account. They do offer mosquito nets & multiple fans for the bed, so for sleeping it works well.
• Petra (10/5): Comfortabele, goed ingerichte cabins midden in de natuur, maar toch dichtbij alle highlights voor een redelijke prijs - Het geweldige uitkijkpunt met cocktailbar en kampvuur, de vriendelijke ontvangst met uitgebreide informatie van gastvrouw Evgenia en de heerlijke cocktails van barman John -
• Michelle (10/5): Incredible! - I had an amazing night at La Casa del Mono with my dad. The cabin and the lookout/bar area are gorgeous. Amazing hospitality from Eugenia who greeted us and explained everything in detail, and super cocktails from Jon. The Espiritual cocktail was to die for. Lastly, it was amazing to wake up in feeling half-in nature. I'm a little scared of creepy crawlies but the cabin is well sealed while still feeling authentic and one with nature.
• Marc (10/5): Exceptional - A paradise in the jungle
• Erin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Clare (9/5): Superb - The staff were very helpful and accommodating, and helped order me breakfast from local restaurant. The cabin was huge and contained everything you might need, including yoga mats, water filter, hammock etc, with a huge deck overlookiong the forest. The sunset viewpoint and bar has a nice friendly and chilled vibe. The location is good as you can easily walk into town or to some of the waterfalls. However bear in mind that it is not completely quiet. There is music from nearby properties, traffic sounds from the road etc. During the night it was quiet apart form an occasional vehicle passing, but morning and during the day it is more intrusive to the natural surroundings.
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing property. Incredible views from the lookout point. Cabin was huge with amazing facilities. Host was really helpful and communicative. Short walk from town, with nice cafe across the road.
• Hadas (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect place !!
• Brina (10/5): Exceptional - The house is super nice. Has everything you need for your stay. You need to know that you won’t get the best view one but also others are nice. Is really good location in Minca specially if you want a but of peace and don’t want to spend a lot of money for taxi every time you want to go to city. This location is 10 minutes by walk.
• Stephanie (9/5): Superb - The place is easily accessible but still gives the feeling of being very isolated and remote. The view from the viewpoint is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful sunsets. The waterfilter us great. Expect some noise at night from the animals and the street and bring Mosquito repellent.
• Andres (10/5): Exceptional - A complete retreat in the heart of nature, you can watch birds and monkeys right from the bed. The host, Paula, is very helpful and makes the stay even more enjoyable.
• Vicki (10/5): Jungle paradise! - We booked the 2 bedroom for our family of 4 and were blown away! The incredible views, the craftsmanship and quality of the place, the fun board games, the water filter, the list goes one. The kids loved the hammock and playing fort with the shelving unit/nooks in the bedroom. Wish we could stay longer, glad we booked 2 nights as it takes a while to get used to living in the jungle. It’s open air but the bedrooms and bathroom are pretty enclosed and everything is netted - we’ve stayed in pure open air places and were bitten alive, this was not the case here. It’s also easy to get to from town unlike some other places that have super bumpy steep roads to get to. Roosters crowing early in the morning but that’s part of the experience! There’s also occasional ants so don’t leave any bags open and keep on top of washing dishes and wiping food up.
• Lydia (10/5): Exceptional - This cabin was absolutely stunning - a beautiful place to stay in Minca ! Everything was well made and the cabin was more spacious than anticipated with a large balcony and stunning views over the jungle
• Anthony (10/5): This was hands down our favorite accomadation in Colombia and we traveled numerous places in a full month - Spacious, immersed in the jungle, excellent design/build, great fresh air flow, very accommodating staff, easy to use guidebook for anything you could need, comfortable beds with quality pillows and sheets, great bird watching opportunities, fully stocked kitchen appliances and utensils, washing machine A few ants in living area were a small nuisance but really this is to be expected in a bungalow in the jungle. You just had to be diligent not to drop any food and wipe up counter space immediately after use. The hill up to the cabins can be daunting (my mom is 70 years old) but really, it’s entirely worth the effort because the area and views are amazing.
• Roberto (10/5): Exceptional - It’s a really beautiful luxury cabin, complete with kitchen, dining, living areas. All the tools to be able to cook. Potable water, games and a huge terrace to relax on. Staff are amazing! And only about 15mins downhill to the small village where there are loads of places to eat and drink! Staying only one night 😩
• Jon (10/5): A gorgeous place to relax and unwind - The chalet is set in a beautiful location amongst trees above the town of Minca It is very new and spacious and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Paula the host has great attention to detail and nothing is too much trouble
• Ferdi0807 (10/5): Lovely place in the jungle - Really lovely place in the middle of the jungle with everything you need for some days of relaxing. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. The town of Minca is quite a long walk away from the hotel, but this also comes with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
• Catherine (9/5): Beautiful and enormous forest cabin with toucans - Beautiful large cabin. Lots of toucans nearby. Great facilities. Quite damp and definitely not insect free! Quite a lot of noise from on site building works and loud music late into the night despite apparently tranquil location!
• Julián (10/5): Amazing! - The location is perfect and quiet, the staff is very attentive and friendlly from the very beggining, providencia you with some tips and recomendarions such as, restaurants, deliveries, things to do in Minca, transport and more, the cabana has everyting you need to have a comfortable stay and this includes a bottle of wine, the lookout is beautiful and you can see Santa Marta, El Rodadero and Minca.
• Yasser (10/5): It was an amazing stay with beautiful views and super comfortable - This place was amazing and i liked absolutely everything about it .. the views , the comfort, the facilities, its not too far from town .. Staff were brilliant and helpful .. Paula did everything to make sure our stay was perfect .. .
• Clare (9/5): Cabin retreat near Minca - We had a two bedroom cabin which came with all the things we needed. Fridge/freezer, washing machine!!!, hob, plenty saucepans and frying pans, bottled water on tap so you don’t need to bring any and an eco water purification system. And so much more; games, torches, binoculars, walking sticks, fresh ground coffee. Paula is totally ‘on game’. She knows how to set high standards and this is impressive. She gets the European market. She gave us good advice about an easier walk to do due to my partner having a bad knee. She arranged our car from Santa Marta to the cabin and then onwards to Palomino. Superhost material for sure and I can say this with certainty as I am an Airbnb host myself.There were many other touches which showed that Paula thinks carefully about her customers. Very detail focussed.
• Yully (8/5): Beautiful cabin, comfortable beds, access to Netflix , great Wifi signal. The overlook balcony on the advertising image, - Location, not too far from town but feels private. Bugs, but then again we were in their habitat 🤷🏻‍♀️
• Julian (10/5): Top cabin, top view, top chill - Everything was nice and as described, view from the hill, the balcony, the cabin itself, it all felt really enjoyable and relaxing. Staff were really attentive and helpful, wish we could have stayed more than 2 nights. Cabin was close by the street so you do get car noises, there are also lots of construction going on in Minca so sometimes the birds sounds mix the driller ones but these are very minor issues and nothing the owner can do something about. Also do not forget your insect repellent, but hey that’s part of the experience.
• Ruth (9/5): Superb - Beautiful
• Dariel (10/5): An incredible stay! - One of our most incredible stays! La Casa Del Mono is an amazing cabin perched up atop a hill just outside nunca that makes for a beautiful stay in the nature. With stunning views and a classic but comfortable look, this is the perfect getaway for a relaxing holiday in the nature. Our host Leon was super friendly from the moment of our arrival, gifted us a bottle of wine and showed us the whole place with detail. Also gave us recommendations for the town and touristy attractions nearby.
• Charlotte (9/5): Incredible place to stay in Minca. It felt like we were staying in a treehouse! -
• Rebecca (10/5): Peaceful, incredible view & instagramable place - Wow. Such a peaceful location, waking up & enjoying breakfast with a view on toucans, squirrels and many other birds. We were definitely not happy leaving this place so soon. (3 nights in total) We were nicely greeted by Leon & Alex. Fruits & wine as a welcome gift. A very clean & spacious cabana with 2 rooms, big living space and terrace. With everything you need to cook and entertain yourself (games, binoculars…). We even enjoyed a little bonfire at the viewpoint just above the cabana. Yes it’s located just outside of the center of Minca, yes it’s a quite a climb when coming back but it’s only 10 mins away. Always possible to grab a motorbike taxi otherwise. I definitely recommend this place for a stay in Minca. Nothing
• Martin (10/5): The best 4 days in Columbia out of our six weeks - The property was in the perfect quiet spot 15 minutes easy walk uphill from Minca. Well designed stylish property with everything you could need. The staff and owner were attentive to every request. Nothing
• Claire (10/5): An amasing stay - We had an amasing stay. This place is one of a kind, and we really felt like home. The room was spacious and fully equipped, and the sunset from the point of view is beautiful. Paula and Alex are great : kind, reagent and have really good advices. No, I recomand this place
• Tobias (10/5): A must stay for Colombia! - I would put La Casa Del Mono as a definitive must stay for Colombia! If your trip isn’t already including Minca, then make a detour and spent at least a couple of nights here. Beautiful and modern cabin with an amazing location granting the best sunset views of the valley stretching all the way to Santa Marta. The host was fantastic and spoke perfectly English, we got tons of tips for the surrounding area that really helped us get the most out of the trip. Nothing, it was beyond perfect
• Lea (10/5): Exceptional - It's probably the best place to stay you can find in/around Minca! Leon is the most attentive (english speaking) host, making sure you have everthing you need and Alex and his brother live close by and can help if needed. The two cabins are perfect and equipped with everthing you can think of, from shampoo & conditioner (!), hot water, games, binoculars, books, flashlights, strong fans in every room, a generator (if electricity goes out like when we wete there) to Netflix and not one, but two strong Wifi-networks. Additionally the balcony is pretty big and has a fantastic view and you even have a view point a bit further up, where you can watch sunsets or Santa Marta at night. It's a 15min walk up from Minca, but that way you'll get your daily steps in :-)
• Janyne (10/5): Awesome newer cabin with all the amenities close enough to town to walk but with incredible private vistas. - Awesome views and cool house. Very attentive hosts. Very safe and secure. The cool views come with a moderate walk from town. About 10-15 minutes uphill. Moto taxis are available but i would say that’s the only small downside to the cool vistas. We did get some bug bites too, but that’s to be expected and the owner warned us to take preventive measures.
