Guest Reviews
- Mora (10/5): Tesoros del cabo de la vela - Un lugar mágico, lleno de buena atención, comida sabrosa, buen ambiente e instalaciones cómodas, recomendado a ojo cerrado.
Las habitaciones son cómodas, apenas para dormir y disfrutar de los lugares turisticos del cabo.
La comida es muy rica y hay variedad de platos.
Pero la atencion y la disposición de las personas que administran el lugar la Señora Ana y los muchos más que están detrás de todo hace que uno quiera volver.
- Nelly (9/5): Excelente descanso y hermosos lugares , gente muy amable - Todo estaba muy limpio , tengo una sugerencia y es ver la posibilidad de que tuvieran bicicletas para hacer recorridos cerca , el cabo de la vela es muy hermoso Que no había mucha variedad en las comidas y las bebidas
- Sylvine (7/5): Bien situé - L'emplacement directement a la plage, les repas sont bons, le serveur très gentil Les lits sont très durs. L'amabilité du personnel est calculé, ce ne sont pas des gens chaleureux, mais je pense que ça fait partie de leur façon d'être.
Par contre, pour réserver, il faut payer soit 50%, soit la totalité du séjour à l'avance. Impossible de le faire par carte, j'ai dû faire un virement international qui m'a coûté une nuitée!! Nous avions réservé 2 nuits et avons décidé en dernière minute de n'y rester qu'une seule. Ils n'ont pas voulu nous rembourser la nuitée non utilisée. Après renseignements, ils sont connus pour être des gens pas faciles et pas très conciliants. Je n'y retournerai pas.
- Angela (10/5): Excelente estadía, un lugar para desconectarse - La atención fue excepcional, estuvieron súper pendientes de nosotros en todo momento, muy amables y atentos, recomendado 100% Todo estuvo perfecto
- Carolina (10/5): -
- ANGLIK GARZÓN (10/5): UN SUEÑO - Supremamente soprendidos con el lugar, es maravilloso.... soprendente... las cabañas son bellas, comodas, baño perfecto, habitaciones muy ventiladas, y el servcio de restaurante es muy completo. Los recepcionistas son las personas mas amables del mundo. la playa es todo lo que uno necesita para re iniciar la vida Es algo normal, pero la luz se va a cierta hora de la noche... asi que es bueno... cuanod vas en sentido de descanso,
- Daniel Felipe (5/5): -
- Anna (10/5): Un séjour à l'écart du monde, au calme - Hôtel à l'écart du village, très calme et très agréable. Restaurant très bon. Accès à la mer. Proximité du Pilon d'Azucar et de la plage Agua de Ojo.
- Iara (10/5): Peaceful, Welcoming, and Unforgettable - We had perfect days at Ranchería Utta. We stayed for three nights, but if I had known how special the energy of Cabo de la Vela is, and how serene and comfortable the ranchería would be, I would have stayed longer. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, and everyone who works there is kind and helpful. The lodge is beautifully maintained, and the room was spacious and extremely comfortable. I will definitely come back someday — everything was truly special. A heartfelt thank you especially to Gabriel, Andrés, and Will, with whom we had the most contact. A big hug!
- Letizia (10/5): -
- Natalia Arango (10/5): - Excelente atención, comodidades y alimentación deliciosa.
Muy recomendado!
- Niklas (10/5): We planned to stay one night but in the end we stayed three nights because everyone was so friendly! Especially Ana! - Super quiet, very very friendly and helpful employees. Also they have good food and help you with transport. I really loved talking to Ana!
- Pauline (8/5): Very good -
- Carolina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jorge (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pietro (8/5): lovely place in general with a good value for money - wonderful position, lot of atmosphere, a unique place
you really feel immerse in the local culture, in contact with the local population and learn about them
one evening I joined a cultural event to learn more about the Wayiu, who are the indigenous in that area the bungalow was not sealed, and since it was strongly windy a lot of dust came in, and there was constantly a layer of sand was on the bedsheets, luggage, etc., and the bathroom is quite spartan but fully functional
beware that they do not accept credit card and there is not ATM machines in town, so be furnished with the necessary amount of money upfront
- Kees (8/5): Nice basic setup with individual huts & bathrooms - Simple, neat, clean.
No electricity in the huts during the day but only after 5pm.
You don’t go to a place like this for the luxury.
There is a standing fan which comes very handy in the evenings.
The towels were very fresh.
The hammocks are being put upon request at the porch. Great feature. I believe more could be done regarding the learning about the Wayu people and the indigenous community in the area. You travel for almost 1 full day in harsh conditions to reach this special place but there is no real connection to the surrounding.
Also there should be more transparency with regards to the costs of the 4x4 transfers of the local drivers. We were charged a hefty amount by the driver Michely with no ability to negotiate. The fares should be written/published at the Rancheria, so guests are informed and protected.
- Hernan (10/5): Exceptional - Excelente atención
