You will enjoy it

It is a very nice place, with parking. Full of trees, close to the river. Eco friendly. Rooms are spacious. The service and attention to detail is excellent. The food is made for you at the time you order it, it is very fresh. smoking is not allowed in the premises. The sauna, turco (vapor) and jacuzzi are power on at the time you require them. We had a great time that i will stay again.

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
