Quite overprized
Pros:

Great location with direct access to the beach, sea and river (swimming is not possible due to caymans and current)

Cons:

If you look for a place wirh a/c then don't go there. It didn't work when we arrived at 4pm, the stuff explained this with the unstable electric network and promised that the a/c would work fine after 8pm, when the generator kicks in. That was true, but after midnight the a/c was gone again (not just one, but every night we spent there).
For the same reasons the Wifi didn't work properly, sometimes it did, sometiems it didn't.
Breakfast is a shame for such an expensive hotel: 3 toast halves, plain scrambled egg, a coffee and some fruits. No butter, no cereals, no yogurt, no ingredients to the scrambled egg...)

L’oasi da sogno che stavi cercando
Pros:

Se alloggiate qua potete rinunciare alla visita al parco di Tayrona, perché potete ammirare i medesimi panorami senza sforzo. Struttura affacciata sul mare e sul fiume interno, dove si può ammirare un fantastico tramonto abbellito dal volo degli uccelli che frequentano la zona. Tutto perfetto, anche il cibo buono.

Cons:

Niente. Suggeriamo di prevedere un mezzo di trasporto per accompagnare gli ospiti alla fermata dei bus (10 minuti a piedi potrebbero essere evitati) comunque si sono offerti di portare i bagagli facilitando il cammino.

Traumhafte Lage am Fluss und Meer, tolles Essen und sehr freundliches Personal.

Die Lage am Fluss und am Meer ist einfach einzigartig. Umgeben von einer wunderschönen Naturlandschaft, lässt es sich hier wunderbar entspannen. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und das Essen auf der Terrasse einfach herrlich. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder!

El sitio ideal para desconectar y disfrutar de los 5 sentidos a cada paso

La ubicación del alojamiento es impresionante. Puedes disfrutar de las vistas hacia la playa o el río. Disfrutamos de la mejor estancia de nuestro recorrido por Colombia. Hemos estado en varios alojamientos y sin lugar a dudas este es el mejor. La atención y la comida también espectaculares. Les felicito, de verdad. Espero alguna vez en mi vida poder volver. Lo recomendaría sin pensarlo

Cons:

A really beautiful and relaxing location but let down by limited vegan options for dining
Pros:

This property is set in an incredible location overlooking a river mouth and the sea. We had a room overlooking the river and sea - and saw a caiman from the balcony. Room is rustic but comfortable. Lovely patio. Pools are relatively small but one of them has an incredible setting. It is possible to walk down to beach and river. Unfortunately, you cannot swim in the sea as too rough (or river due to the caimans). Massage was very good though there was little availability so it may be advisable to pre-book.

Cons:

We are vegan and we found the vegan options for breakfast extremely limited - we felt quite hungry after - and they seemed unable to rectify it after we complained. For a high-end property such as this, this should be addressed (as we stayed at another property in the area afterwards, we know it is possible to do better and offer, for instance, almond milk/granola/tofu). It is difficult to leave the property certainly for dinner and so most guests dine in - they had vegan options for lunch and dinner though they were quite limited and, if we had stayed for more than two days, we would have been bored. There were no vegan desert options.

Un rêve éveillé…
Pros:

La vue exceptionnelle (le plus beau panorama de ma vie).
L’emplacement à côté du parc Tayrona.
L’accès direct à la plage ( même si elle est trop dangereuse pour se baigner).
Les massages à un tarif tout à fait correct.
La qualité des plats au restaurant.

Cons:

Le manque de choix et le côté trop répétitif des petits déjeuner.
