Best place to stay away from city ,and trafficking. Very quiet. Very frendly staff, we fill like with family. Amazing and very frendly owner senior Sergio and his wife and their dog Dona.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room and the entire place was very clean, cozy and enjoyable.
We miss to be able to swim at the sea.
Beside that everything was excellent.
Family-run “finca-style” hotel. Sergio and his family/staff were very friendly and courteous. The room and facilities overall were well kept. On-site food was very good. Stayed there overnight after a long day hiking with my son at Tayrona before returning to Cartagena to meet up with rest of family.
As a frequent traveler, for me, the hospitality of Sergio and family truly stood out. Would definitely stay there again without a doubt! Highly recommeded.
What a beautiful experience for my family and me. The privacy makes you feel you own the property. The food is terrific. The owner is super nice, and the manager goes above and beyond. The staff is amicable, and the service is top-notch. My kids loved the pool. I would not change anything.
Todo fue maravilloso. La zona donde está el hotel es muy tranquila, no es cerca a Santa Marta, pero no necesitas salir si lo que quieres es desconectarte y descansar y hacer planes con la naturaleza. La comida es buenísima.
Un excelente Hotel, una vista espectacular, un excelente servicio desde la recepción , hasta los dueños del hotel, muy contentos en nuestra estadía en el hotel
Este lugar es mágico, tienes todo lo que necesitas, en mi próxima vez me quedaré más días.la comida es deliciosa felicitaciones al chef, el personal es muy especial , sientes que estás en tu casa , además tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer al dueño, si vas al Tayrona este lugar es perfecto para hospedarse.
I have seen this place before, in my dreams. Shhh, let’s keep it a secret. A beautifully designed beach hotel of seven airy, terraced rooms, this is the retirement project of owners Diana and Sergio, a lawyer and architect from Bogota. My partner and and spent three days in this little paradise. It is at once luxurious and simple, you go to sleep with the sound of the ocean and awake to birdsong. The wild beach is stunning. The pool is long enough to do some laps, and crystal clear. The food is excellent. The staff is warm and attentive. I very much enjoyed talking with Diana and Sergio, fell in love with their chocolate lab, Dona, and with the entire place. When can I come back?
The property is a piece of heaven from location to setting. We loved every moment of it and found wonderful people running the hotel. We cannot thank everyone enough for making this a memorable and well worth it experience. Highly recommended if you are looking for piece and quiet in a beautiful location of Santa Marta, Colombia.
Very nice hotel and rooms. Property is large and has access to a pool and a private section of the beach with chairs and shade. Food is very tasty, even though a bit pricey. Staff is super helpful. Even if the hotel is full it doesn't feel crowded as there is only a few rooms. It's quiet at night and you can hear the sounds of the forest to relax. The location is great as it's secluded and quiet but does not give you access to stores or food.
We stayed here one night before our flight home. This is a large sprawling resort with multiple pools and restaurants. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Fabulous included buffet breakfast with both juice and omelette bar. Welcome beer or pina colada nice touch. It’s probably the best beach in Cartagena. You need to go further to find nicer beaches. There were lots of families and great play areas for kids. Would recommend.

Really lovely staff and great swimming pool. Generally comfortable but quite overpriced compared to other places we stayed on our trip for this level of comfort. We did tubing which was great fun and the b&b arranges this. The food is very good however !
