    It was really nice as the property has it’s own river and it is really close to Mendihuaca beach so the contrast is amazing. Odair is such a great host as he took as on a tour experience to the pozo del diablo waterfalls and amazing place surrounded by nature and refreshing water. In the Tour we had a great experience visiting locals of the Sierra Nevada area.

    Regarding mealtime - Felt a bit too quiet, was alone having breakfast or dinner in their living room. I know they meant good and wanted to make me feel comfortable, but it was a bit strange - just my personal feeling though. Probably when they finish the works in the restaurant near the pool, it will be different (I enjoyed having my last breakfast there!) Also I had to remind about my times the first day ‘cos what I asked for wasn’t ready on time. No wifi in my bungalow. I said it several times but no check was done. Location far from all restaurants and shops. First evening I asked where to stop to buy water & fruits, instead the owner proposed me to drive me to the nearest small shop, without mentioning any costs. In the end, I was surprised to see a charge of 15,000 cop on the final invoice for a few minutes. Wasn’t really transparent, especially as my initial question was where to stop on my way back from the beach with the bus. I also asked for the invoice of the stay and gave my e-mail address, and haven't received anything yet (1 week later).

    Big property with houses spread in a nice garden, pool was great to relax after a day of hike, or the river for the most adventurous ones (beware the current, doesn't look so, but it's strong). Close to the main road yet it felt in the jungle given the wildlife noise you could hear at night. Big bungalow with good amenities. No mosquito net but as far as I understood (the Spanish in that area of Colombia is super fast!), the bungalows were treated and I didn't have any problem with mosquitoes. The plates the family cooked for me were tasty (I was the only one to get breakfast / dinner). Odair the owner was really responsive for all my questions.

    Nothing.

    Lovely staff, beautiful location surrounded by the nature. Great pool and good food prepared by the family. 5min driving from the El Zaino park entrance. Perfect to chill and relax. Highly recommended!

    .Spectacular, beautifull it is a different experience. The cabin is charming, they treated us like in our home, very friendly, comfortable and the owners are from Bogota! For me the best part.. close to Tayrona by bus 5 min and all the recommendations to go there were given by them.

    Easily accessible from the highway, close to various entrances to Parque Tayrona, this property offers a large pool, river access, and a delicious breakfast prepared by the attentive, family-oriented host. Locally sourced, environmentally-friendly and aesthetic design choices.

    The cabaña outdoor area has to be shared (2 rooms/1 terrace) what we didn't expect. No coffee machine, no fridge outside (1 small fridge inside the room). Seating area outside not comfortable, could be improved providing more hammoks or loungers. Next to the mainroad, therefore very noisy.

    Close to el zaino entrance, good price

    Our cottage was next to the main road, thus it was not quiet at all. In the bathroom we found a huge spider (taratula type), so we were rather nervous all night

    Location and staff are great. We loved the access to the river

    A beautiful place with a lot of potential, however it was fully a building site at the time. We were hoping for a quiet stay however throughout the day there was drilling, and trees being sawed for building materials. There was no “24 service desk” as advertised, and we didn’t have an official check in or out.. when we tried to check out we had to ask a builder to call the owners and we still haven’t been able to arrange payment(despite really trying!) when we arrived we were told there was no meals being served and that we had to walk to the nearby village, however later it appeared that they did actually serve food. The wifi was limited. The pool hadn’t been cleaned and there was nowhere to sit by it(not necessary but a suggestion for improvement!) Overall it was a nice place with a lot of potential but spoiled a little by the building noise and lack of communication from the owner/some things not as advertised!

    The room itself was very nice, clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom. They also had a mini bar which was nice! The family on site were very friendly and welcoming, and showed us around at the start.. as far as I’m aware we didn’t come into contact with any actual employee staff while staying and so there was a serious lack of communication
