"Place was like a dream. As you enter you have a long driveway with beautiful palm trees. The place is beautiful. Clean. I was greeted by Margaret and her lovely white wolf dog. She checked us in right away. The room was large and had a great view of the lake reservoir. The sunrise is amazing here. The breakfast was 5 stars. If you’re thinking of staying in Guatape this is where you should stay. Only 15 min from the monolith."
