Guest scores & sentiment

From 75 guest reviews · multi-source · as of 2026-07-20

Guests highly praise the tranquil jungle setting, warm and attentive staff, clean boho-style facilities, and fresh included breakfast. The location offers easy access to hiking, river swimming, and Tayrona Park. Main drawbacks are the remote access requiring a hike or moto-taxi with heavy luggage, lack of on-site dining beyond breakfast, occasional mosquito issues, and some variability with the jacuzzi, pool availability, and shower pressure.
