Un posto del cuore
Pros:

Bellissimo! Tutto perfetto, location stupenda e curata anche nell'arredamento. Personale gentile e accogliente, sembrava di stare a casa. Tutto giusto, con una pace trovata in pochi altri posti. Consiglio e ci ritornerei!

Cons:

Nulla, se devo trovare un cavillo sicuramente é la posizione del posto un po' difficile da raggiungere (a piedi e con un ruscello da attraversare), che con il caldo e le valigie puó non essere semplicissimo, ma ne vale comunque la pena una volta raggiunta la meta.

Fantastisch!
Pros:

Beautiful lodge. Build and taken care of with love. A short walk after crossing the river. Go swim in the river, lay in a hammock and enjoy. Iwan took very good care of us! Thank you.

Phenomenal!
Pros:

The Frana Lodge exceeded our expectations. From the very first second Iván picked us up at the meeting point, we felt completely at ease. The walk to the lodge was absolutely fine and very easy for us to manage, and crossing the river each time was an experience we truly enjoyed.

Upon arrival, we were immediately offered water and towels, and warmly welcomed by Franz, the owner. The rooms are in excellent condition, equipped with a fan and a mosquito net, and are cleaned daily. The beds were by far the most comfortable we’ve had during our travels, and the pillows were incredibly cozy.

No matter where you are in the lodge, the view is simply breathtaking. The location is also ideal, with close proximity to many beaches, Tayrona National Park, and a variety of activities.

The food is outstanding, both breakfast and dinner are delicious, and lunch is also available. The portions are perfect and clearly prepared with care and attention to detail.

The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. Everyone goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a perfect stay and are always happy to assist with any questions. Iván, in particular, made our stay even more special with his friendly and cheerful personality.

You can truly feel that the people working there love what they do, and that Frank has created a wonderful atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. They also have the sweetest pets, we loved them so much!

In summary, this is the perfect place to relax, and we highly recommend it.

Pros:

Sehr schöne Anlage, freundliches Personal.
Ein Ort um zu geniessen.
Man muss etwa 15 min durch den Dschungel auf Pfäden und über Brücken laufen, aber das ist genau das was es ausmacht.

Die Zimmer sind wirklich schön und professionell gebaut.

Cons:

Die Verrechnung unserer Konsumationen wurden bei der Abreise versucht doppelt zu verrechnen.
Vielleicht war es ein Fehler, vielleicht auch gewollt.

Der perfekte Place to slow down
Pros:

Wir haben fast eine Woche in der Frana Lodge verbracht und uns von Anfang an sehr wohlgefühlt.
Die Lodge liegt mitten im Dschungel – man überquert einen kleinen Fluss und läuft ein Stück durch die Natur, bevor man ankommt. Genau das macht diesen Ort so besonders.
Der größte Luxus dort ist die Ruhe. Kein Trubel, kein Lärm – stattdessen Vogelgezwitscher am Morgen, Affen in den Bäumen, Schmetterlinge und Natur pur. Man kommt automatisch runter und wird entschleunigt.
Das Herz der Lodge sind die Menschen. Wir wurden unglaublich herzlich empfangen. Ein besonderes Dankeschön an Ivan, Franz und das großartige Küchenteam, das uns jeden Tag so liebevoll mit frisch zubereitetem Essen versorgt hat. Für uns war es das beste vegetarische Essen in ganz Kolumbien.
Auch die Umgebung ist spannend – nicht weit vom Meer und vom Tayrona Park, aber trotzdem ruhig und abgeschieden.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und können die Frana Lodge absolut weiterempfehlen.

Comfort, adventure and friendship!
Pros:

If you love nature and adventure, if you like to make new charming friends and if you want to disconnect and relax for a bit, this is the perfect place for you! Everything in Frana Lodge works perfectly (communication, payment, accommodation, staff, food, drinks, etc.) thanks to the lovely couple that give name to the lodge and the amazing staff they have hired and trained. You feel at home a minute after arrival and although there's space for privacy if you choose so, it's almost impossible not to make friends really quickly. And not just Franz and Ana, because they create an atmosphere where you easily start chatting with the staff and the other guests. There's nature all around but the rooms are very comfortable (never bothered by bugs!), and there's hot water in the shower! (not easy to find in the Colombian Caribbean). Great service, yummy food, delicious drinks and the best coffee! Whatever we needed or wanted during our stay, they made it happen, and always with love and care. If you're going to Tayrona, don't hesitate and book this place right away!

Cons:

If you have mobility problems you might suffer a bit walking up to the lodge (crossing the river was easy and fun), but once you get there, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view.
