Super relaxing environment where you can enjoy the beauty of the nature, piedra’s river, and delicious food, and an excellent service. This hotel is close by to different small villages where you can do many activities such as hikes, tubing, horse back riding, and have the luxury of visiting different estuaries.

They gave us misleading information about the hotel and nearby parks. The staff was very unpleasant and even the owner tried to argue with my fiancée. He was more worried about pointing the finger than actually fixing the issue at hand. We made a reservation based on their information provided and ended up wasting $180 that day. Needless to say we didn’t stay there and ended up driving back to Barranquilla. The place is in a remote location, no beaches, no parks, no restaurants.

El Parque Tayrona con Estadia VIP
Muy cerca al Parque Tayrona, este Hotel Spa con 9 habitaciones presta un servicio personalizado. La salita de masajes frente al río con sonido del paso del agua da una sensación única de relajación. Desde el Gerente hasta la recepcionista, masajista, mucamas y meseros, se desviven por complacerte. La palabra no no existe... Gracias, Yefer, Andrea y Melissa, Harrinson y Yaiser por hacer de nuestra estadia una maravillosa! A solo 8 minutos en auto del Parque Tayrona, es maravilloso regresar a un lugar tan bello, lleno de bellas energías, a que te atiendan y consientan con un masaje, después de un día de largas caminatas.

Short stay in this hotel. Food is great and the massage was really relaxing, better than expected. Bed is comfy, but we had a problem with the shower : no warm water ! The staff didn't have time to solve it, as we stayed only one night. We didn't ask for a rebate or any kind of compensation, but such suggestion from the staff would have been greatly appreciated

El sitio es muy agradable, ideal para desconectarse, alejarse del bullicio de la ciudad y estar a tono con la naturaleza, el chef es muy bueno y sus preparaciones deliciosas. El personal está siempre disponible con una sonrisa, especialmente Yaiser David quien procuró nuestro bienestar durante la estancia. La habitación es amplia, aireada y bien dotada, ideal para descansar.
