It is a very nice place, with parking. Full of trees, close to the river. Eco friendly. Rooms are spacious. The service and attention to detail is excellent. The food is made for you at the time you order it, it is very fresh. smoking is not allowed in the premises. The sauna, turco (vapor) and jacuzzi are power on at the time you require them. We had a great time that i will stay again.

Short stay in this hotel. Food is great and the massage was really relaxing, better than expected. Bed is comfy, but we had a problem with the shower : no warm water ! The staff didn't have time to solve it, as we stayed only one night. We didn't ask for a rebate or any kind of compensation, but such suggestion from the staff would have been greatly appreciated

They gave us misleading information about the hotel and nearby parks. The staff was very unpleasant and even the owner tried to argue with my fiancée. He was more worried about pointing the finger than actually fixing the issue at hand. We made a reservation based on their information provided and ended up wasting $180 that day. Needless to say we didn’t stay there and ended up driving back to Barranquilla. The place is in a remote location, no beaches, no parks, no restaurants.

Muy cerca al Parque Tayrona, este Hotel Spa con 9 habitaciones presta un servicio personalizado. La salita de masajes frente al río con sonido del paso del agua da una sensación única de relajación. Desde el Gerente hasta la recepcionista, masajista, mucamas y meseros, se desviven por complacerte. La palabra no no existe...

Relax hotel !

We verbleven 3 nachten in dit resort. Heel mooi maar kleine kamers en badkamer. Het resort ligt 5 min met de auto van het Tayrona National Park. Het ontbijt was beperkt. Geen buffet ! Mooi zwembad met Spa. We hebben elke avond in het restaurant gegeten. Was heel lekker. Grote parking voor de auto. De WiFi was niet goed. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam !
