Guest Reviews
- Christopher (9/5): Good position for axcess to park - Quirky Lots of steps to room
- De (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karolina (9/5): Nice place to visited park tayrona - Very beautiful view by the room, we have hammock, very nice and helpful staff, tasty breakfast The hostel was near Main Street so was noisy, cold water in the shower
- Sem (6/5): Pleasant - Friendly staff Dirty pool
- Chris (7/5): Good -
- Vanessa (9/5): Superb -
- Matthias (6/5): Stay near park entrance - Location next to park entrance was great. The Chilean guy at the front desk was very helpful. very picturesque location in the middle of nature, there were fans in the room The guy working in the restaurant/store was unfriendly, mosquito nets didn’t fully close (although there weren’t many mosquitos), on site restaurant was very mediocre. Given the cost of everything close to the park and the fact that you don’t have a kitchen you can cook in yourself I would stay in Santa Marta and do day trips to Tayrona if I came again.
- Helena (7/5): Beautiful place, non stop noise - The location is very good, very beautiful surroundings and facilities are OK. There is non stop noise frome the highway beside the hotel, and a neighbor has really loud misic until 2 am, therefore sleeping was a challenge. Internet access was not always available.
- Pat (9/5): Superb -
- Xumi (7/5): Good - Beautiful view from the top cabanas and a nice jungle around. A few of the cabanas are really pretty. People working here are very nice. Breakfast is small but good. You must try the coffee. Shuttle to the entrance of Tayrone Park for free (4 minutes by moto or car) so it is close. There is a pool. WiFi is stabile and fast. No air condition inside the rooms so it is quite hot. No hot water in the bath. You can hear the noise from the road close by because the walls are very thin. No fridge in the room - very basic interior. There are many gaps between the walls and doors so the moskitos will come inside. I killed 15 in one night but still a few got my blood. Those little parasits visiting were quite a minus.
- Eliana (9/5): Superb -
- Artem (9/5): Everything great or exceptional. The only drawback - a bit noisy due to nearby road. - Faciliies, cabin, jungle view, pool with a small waterfall. Very very helpful and accomodating stuff. I spoke to multiple people and everyone tried to step out of their way to help me. Very good hospitality The only thing that is not great about this place is that it is locate right beside a transit road. It is both good and bad. The good part is that all transportation options (buses to Santa Marta, Tayrona, Guachaca, Palomino, Barranquilla, Riohacha) stop right in front. The Santa Marta-Palomino route is plied every 10 minutes and cost 8000 COP.. So it is trivial to get to the entranced of park Tayrona or back from them to the hotel.
But it is also bad that the trucks and buses produce a lot of noise that can be heard from the hotel cabins. It is really unfortunate to have a great jungle mountain view from your window/hamock, which is ruined but the noise of diesel engines.
- Armelle (9/5): Superb -
