Liked: Staff & service
An okay place to stay — definitely not a backpacker hostel, more geared toward locals. The food was delicious. The location opposite side to Minca, no view of Santa Marta, but one of the valley, and the river.
All of the workers but the restaurant workers were rude. Even mouthing profanities when asked about something. Would not recommend would not come back.
The place is clean and comfortable with nice sitting areas. Sadly the food is absolutely awful which is a huge letdown and everyone else there agreed.The spa was also unstaffed throughout my stay here and there was little atmosphere. Would not recommend for solo backpackers
No hot water, food is disgusting (it’s all microwaved, pre-packaged garbage. Property is far walk from the town at night. First room I was given was covered in insects from floor to ceiling, second room was still dirty. Uncomfortable beds. Hammock/pool areas are nice..wifi does not work well
Chambre un peut trop petite pour 6. Le SPA pas toujours chaud. Manque de variété pour le déjeuner. On a quand même beaucoup aimé notre séjour. Le site est absolument magnifique, le personnel très gentil. On le recommandera et on reviendrait sans hésiter.
The hostal has terrible facilites, the pool loked dirty. We are 3 people and the room barely had room for 2. Difficult access to the place. I don’t recommend it at all. We could not even stay at this place. We asked for a refund but we didn’t get it
Espectacular el sitio a tener en cuenta la entrada es carrera no pavimentada pero se puede llegar bien, está como a 7 minutos de Minca.
El hostal es muy lindo y ameno tiene zona de juegos, salida al río, piscina, parque infantil, en la noche puedes poner una película tipo cine, jacuzzi.
Buen desayuno
Es un hotel muy bello, campestre, con muchas amenidades y lugares donde estar, con entrada al río minca piscina, jacuzzi.
El personal muy amable y todo muy bonito, desayuno delicioso buffet
Ne réserver pas cette hôtel. Nous avons été volé par le personnel dans notre chambre. Le lit était le pire que nous avons eu durant notre séjour d’un mois en Colombie, très incomfor
Es un lugar muy hermoso y organizado, el personal es muy amable y atento. Me encantó tener contacto directo con la naturaleza y descansar bien. Muy recomendado para todos los que quieran relajarse y conocer un lugar bonito y a buen precio.
Es un lugar hermoso, que permite desconectarse del mundo para disfrutar de la naturaleza, con una atención increíble y un sin número de actividades para entretenerse, lo super recomiendo a todos aquellos que busquen pasar unos días relajantes.
Un lugar mágico para descansar, lo visito seguido porque puedo divertirme, descansar y disfrutar de la naturaleza, con la tranquilidad de tener a mi mascota conmigo. Es un hostal de lujo, super recomendado.
