Super welcoming hosts. Gave us an extra cabana at no extra cost as our 3 children are grown up-(Booking.com hadn't passed them that information). Beautiful place. Orlando helped buy some medicine for my son. Also gave great tips on walking to Tayrona park. Andrea cooked fantastic meals and had interesting stories about Tawaca. Facilities were great.
Busy road outside with fast traffic. Care needed to cross road. Cannot hear see or hear it from Tawaca.

The Staff was extraordinary friendly, professional and went out of their way many times to make fulfill some extra wishes. The place, tho partly still in construction during our stay, is amazingly beautiful and offer different places and things to chill and do. hammocks, natural pool, fire pit, karaoke/live musik possible. they installed a new wifi before we arrived and we had solid connection in all areas to comfortably watch videos and make video calls. if you have any questions about how to get where and need help, just ask the staff and owner and they will gladly help you.
everything was more than good.

The Hotel is located in the Forest literally with no other properties around it. So it gives you a lot of Privacy. I had an amazing relaxing time in a beautiful bungalow. Everything was so exotic! Complete immersion into Nature! The Hosts Andrea and Orlando are so warm and beautiful people! We had amazing conversation and I really felt like home!💚💚💚

Such an amazing place so beautiful. Great place to gp and relax, or a good base for trips out and about. It's located on the main road sp buses are easily accessible. Andrea is an amazing host ❤️ . The breakfast provided was more than enough and kept you fuelled fpr long treks out to the jungle. The other items on the food menu (which is open 24hr) are amazing for the price and beautifully prepared. You won't be disappointed. Just remember your in the jungle so there will be bugs but if that's not your thing I doubt you would be in santa marta anyway ! 😉 I'll be back for sure !

The best place we have stayed in colombia. The family are the nicest people and did everything to make us feel at home. The home cooked meals were the best food we have eaten in 2 months of backpacking. We also did a tour to tayrona national park that was organized by the owner. This was the fantastic as we avoided al the queues and ended being the very first people to enter the park. Sensational. The place is a dream. The natural pool is beautiful. The pet dogs and the pet ducks are lovely. There was also a rescued horse who lived within the grounds who was very friendly popped her head in to the bungalow every now and then to say hello. The room was perfect and the bed was 5* comfortable. We loved this place and the value for money is incredible. Thank you, Nelson and your family for the time we had.
Nothing.

The location is exceptional, having the opportunity to live in the middle of nature with comforts is amazing and listening to the birds sing and the fresh air and well-organized facilities, I really liked it. For lovers of a healthy life and adventurous good living and also those who like peace, it is a very appropriate place. I was sad not to stay longer but my next vacation we will be back. Thank you very much for all the attention.
Well, I was seeing other people's comments about the power of the water. ro actually seems normal to me.
