Nice hotel BUT we didn’t have hot shower during our stay. They offer 20% on the food because we fight a little bit at the checkout. We’ve payed full price the rooms. Otherwise the hotel is a little bit far from Santa Marta, we had to pay more for the transfers. Nice swimming pool (private & shared) and the bungalows are big and a the middle of the nature.

The rooms, were clean, however they could seal up the wood better, as mosquitos can get in. The staff are very nice and try their beat. The pool is beautiful and the breakfast and food was great.

Good service and good. Weak WiFi and some noise

The location was great, service was very professional and we had no issues overall. The food is outstanding and prices are fair. We had maybe two points to improve: 1. WiFi was not consistently working, since it works with satellites and the weather can affect the service. 2. Our room was located near the main reception and there was plenty of noise coming from the staff during the mornings.

Very friendly staff and place is beautiful. It is close to various spots with beautiful nature. Cons: restaurant is overpriced, and be prepared to pay huge taxes on top of what you think you are going to pay. If you are Colombian and you book online, they will tell you that you need to pay a national tax. In my case, it was about 170 USD for a 4 day stay. If you have a foreign passport, male sure to bring it so you get exempt for paying this tax.

For the ones who loves living near nature

I love this place, I’d recommend it for everyone who loves living near nature but still wants the amenities available in a hotel. Most people in the staff are very kind and helpful. The rooms in the bungalows are very nice with very comfortable beds, every morning you’ll wake up to the sound of all kinds of birds. It's very relaxing. The breakfast is a bit limited but very good. The pool is beautiful. The rest of the hotel area is like a farm with many types of animals both tame and wild. However, I’d not recommend this place for people afraid of insects and lizards. They will enter the room. :) I'd like to make it a 5 star review, but unfortunately the hotel has its flaws, especially the bathroom which actually looks very nice visually, but practically it’s bad in many ways which can cause irritation. Also bad WiFi, it's too weak by the bungalows so you'll need to go to the reception by the pool to use the internet. Poorly isolated walls, so if there's another guest living in the bungalow by the other side of he wall you'll hear them too well. But in the end it's a lovely place to spend vacations, located near Playa Buritaca which has the sea on one side and the river on the other side, so you can choose where you prefer to swim.

Me encantó esta propiedad. Es bastante valor lo que es obtiene por el precio. Ideal para vacaciones en familia o en grupos. Las habitaciones son amplias y comodas. El staff a pesar que es amable, no esta capacitado para la atencion a los turistas o no tienen mucho conocimiendo de hospitalidad.

Obiekt z dużym potencjałem, przepiękny ogród, oczka wodne, basen , lokalizacja na uboczu- idealna atmosfera żeby odpocząć. Trzeba brać pod uwage ze hotel znajduje się naprawdę w odosobnieniu- nad morze, do sklepu itp można dojść spacerem ale po zachodzie słońca jest bardzo ciemno. Taksówki w tej okolicy są tylko prywatne, więc jest to duży koszt, ale funkcjonuje autobus na trasie Santa Marta- palomino. Co było na minus to ceny w hotelu - woda 2.5 USD to duża przesada i powoduje niesmak i poczucie chęci “zdarcia” z gościa jak największej ilości pieniędzy mimo ze sam pobyt już nie był tani. w hotelowej restauracji ceny też powyżej przeciętnej, jedzenie dobre. Do naszego domku hotel nie miał zapasowego klucza, bo został zgubiony przez poprzednich gości i czekali na dorobienie, przez co przez cały pobyt nie mieliśmy serwisu sprzątania i gdyby nie to, że przypadkowo zatrzasnęliśmy klucz w pokoju i obsługa musiała siłą otwierać drzwi, bo nie mieli zapasowego klucza- nawet byśmy nie wiedzieli czemu nie ma tego sprzątania. Nikt nam nie powiedział że jest taka sytuacja. Zgadzam się też z opiniami poprzedników co do “małego zoo” - warunki życia zwierząt są naprawdę niepokojące.
