The staff is super nice and welcoming. I had a health issue and they were super nice and kind all the time. The place is clean and the bed is comfortable. Breakfast comes with a fresh fruit salad on a side. It's very close to the bus stop station to go to the Tayrona Park. Amazing!

The hotel was first class; stunning views and facilities. We knew in advance from photos that this hotel would be great but we were surprised by how great our experience was. The staff was incredibly helpful and foresaw any arising needs in advance. Also, the amount of staff and the level of service was perfectly in line with the amount of guests staying at the hotel. A huge plus is the fact that the hotel is a 10-minute walk away from one of the Tayrona park entrances so it’s super easy to make a day trip to the park from here.

The hotel exceeded our expectations in every aspect. It is such a relaxing place set in extremely beautiful surroundings. The bungalows are spacious and beautiful with the best bed we've had on our trip. The staff is incredibly friendly and the app is really helpful for information on trips etc.. The restaurant service is fast, the fish dishes are superb and there is free coffee all day. If you have time, get a massage. Mine was excellent and the setting of the spa in a pavillon above the river is wonderful. We can also really recommend the cocoa tour offered by a nearby finca.

We had 3 nights here, staying in one of the rooms with a jacuzzi on the patio. We absolutely loved our stay here. The rooms were fantastic, with walls of glass giving you a view of the forest, while also being situated for privacy. The bed was very comfortable. We used the jacuzzi a few times and really enjoyed it. The pool area was very nice and connected to the bar/restaurant. The food might have been the best part. Every meal was delicious, and there are lots of options to choose from. We hope to come back one day and highly recommend it.

This was our second visit to the Santorini and we enjoyed ourselves more this time than last. It is a very Colombian hotel, the atmosphere is warm and friendly and all the staff are very helpful and patient as our Spanish is....... less than perfect. The rooms are large, cool and airy, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The hotel has 3 pools, a sky bar with music, food a good bar and fantastic views. The restaurant has really good choice of good food that is served in generous portions, breakfast is very good too. We booked for bed and breakfast only but the meals were very good value. Security is great and you feel perfectly safe and the beach is across the road and is fantastic. Well definitely be back.

The hotel is located just in the old city centre, the area seems very safe. The facilities are just fine, the room is not very large but it was quite enough for two persons. The swimming pool seems nice, but we didn't have time for it since we took day trips. We really liked the restaurant: the complimentary breakfast was OK and the dinner that we payed for was great; but the beautiful view from the restaurant terrace made the experience even better!

Guachaca was a nice tiny village to stay in with proximity to both Buritaca and Costeño beaches and Tayrona park. It's easy to catch the bus to take you along the main road to these other towns and some hikes. You can swim in the Guachaca river and there is a hike up to a waterfall on the river as well, Cascada Saltillo.

Taganga offers a unique vibe but isn’t the best beach destination. Nearby beaches can be a better option, though they may get crowded too. Trash is a noticeable issue in Taganga, Santa Marta, and the surrounding areas, which could use more attention. Still, it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area and manage your expectations.

In general, the online description of the trail is not accurate. You are crossing a mountain range.... steep ups and downs followed by a steep down to the resort. Trails are not to U.S./Canada standards especially when one adds in the fact that horse/burrow traffic is a necessity for supplies. Hope for no precipitation.

Not really what I have been told. I was expecting an “hippie vibe place” but more than hippie it is a bit unkept. Try to spend time in nature but avoid the waterfall everyone one goes to. It loses all the magic and silence of the place.

For those wanting to hike the Tayrona trail, this resort is close by the entrance of the park, and it is a blessing to have this place nearby after hours of walking in the heat.

It's a fishing village, so don't expect much luxury.

It's a fishing village, so don't expect much luxury. There are many scuba dive shops so I assume diving is an important activity in the area. The nearest beach is full of boats, with a section at the far end for swimmers. Water wasn't that clear. Tried to snorkel but didn't see many fish. You'll need a boat to get to the better beaches, for example the ones in Tayrona Park.
