Excellent stay. If you enjoy more of a secluded quiet place to escape the crowds of Santa Marta. We had a rental car which made day trips and arrival quite easy (must drive some km in an unpaved road from the main road). Bonfire by the beach every night!

Gavia - amazing little spot.
Hotel is a bit removed from the main road but once you arrive you’ll be very pleased with the location. Food was amazing for the price. Great service. Any special request was accommodated without special charge. Romantic spot for couples or great spot for a group of friends or family just looking to hang out. Gif Highly Recommend. And pool under construction. Hotel will get even better.

I loved how private it felt and that the beach was very private aswell, what I think could be improved a bit is the transportation to the hotel as it is quite a secluded place it is not very easy to get to the hotel. The staff of the hotel did help us out, but i think the transportation is something that could be improved. Other than that small thing it is an amazing place to stay and relax.

¡Una joya escondida! Es un hotel donde uno puede desconectar del ajetreo de la ciudad y disfrutar de la naturaleza increíble que le rodea. Las playas son preciosas y casi no hay nadie. El hotel me prestó una canoa para subir el río que se encuentra muy cerca y fue algo muy bonito. Vi muchas aves y escuché los ruidos de monos. El personal del hotel fue muy amable y correcto en todo momento, todas las instalaciones eran limpias y quedé impresionado con lo rica que era la comida que preparaba la cocina del hotel. Quedé muy contento.
