Volveréis si o si.

Todo fue maravilloso. La zona donde está el hotel es muy tranquila, no es cerca a Santa Marta, pero no necesitas salir si lo que quieres es desconectarte y descansar y hacer planes con la naturaleza. La comida es buenísima.

Awesome stay after long day at Tayrona park

Family-run “finca-style” hotel. Sergio and his family/staff were very friendly and courteous. The room and facilities overall were well kept. On-site food was very good. Stayed there overnight after a long day hiking with my son at Tayrona before returning to Cartagena to meet up with rest of family. As a frequent traveler, for me, the hospitality of Sergio and family truly stood out. Would definitely stay there again without a doubt! Highly recommeded.

I have seen this place before, in my dreams. Shhh, let’s keep it a secret. A beautifully designed beach hotel of seven airy, terraced rooms, this is the retirement project of owners Diana and Sergio, a lawyer and architect from Bogota. My partner and and spent three days in this little paradise. It is at once luxurious and simple, you go to sleep with the sound of the ocean and awake to birdsong. The wild beach is stunning. The pool is long enough to do some laps, and crystal clear. The food is excellent. The staff is warm and attentive. I very much enjoyed talking with Diana and Sergio, fell in love with their chocolate lab, Dona, and with the entire place. When can I come back?

Very nice hotel and rooms. Property is large and has access to a pool and a private section of the beach with chairs and shade. Food is very tasty, even though a bit pricey. Staff is super helpful. Even if the hotel is full it doesn't feel crowded as there is only a few rooms. It's quiet at night and you can hear the sounds of the forest to relax. The location is great as it's secluded and quiet but does not give you access to stores or food.

Nice stay in Cartagena

We stayed here one night before our flight home. This is a large sprawling resort with multiple pools and restaurants. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Fabulous included buffet breakfast with both juice and omelette bar. Welcome beer or pina colada nice touch. It’s probably the best beach in Cartagena. You need to go further to find nicer beaches. There were lots of families and great play areas for kids. Would recommend.
