Pros:

Tout ! Merci à Laurence et Bruno pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse et leur cuisine ! Tout était parfait. Nous étions comme à la maison, le départ de ce paradis a été très dur pour toute la famille et surtout les enfants. C'est pour nous un moment fort de notre voyage en Colombie ! Alors oui il faut traverser deux rivières pour y accéder mais le paradis se mérite...

Cons:

Rien !

Maravillo lugar cerca a Zaino
Pros:

El hotel esta en medio del bosque y por sus costados pasan varios rios lo que le otorga una sensación de conexión con la naturaleza. El diseño y construcción del hotel es genial con detalles muy interesantes. El cuarto es grande bien dotado, con aire acondicionado y muy bonito. Sin embargo, lo que mas gusto fue la tranquilidad del lugar, para nosotros que somos tan sensibles al ruido, este lugar nos permitido descansar. Solo se escucha el murmullo del rio.

Cons:

Realmente nada. Para llegar al hotel se debe pasar dos secciones del rio que tienen cerca de 50 cm de alto. En un 4x4 no hay problema, no queda muy lejos de la via a Riohacha se puede caminar perfectamente. En caso contrario Bruno sale en su Toyota antiguo a recogerlos. Les recomiendo llevar algunos viveres para su estancia.

Aventura en el Barranquero
Pros:

Ubicación a 15min andando de la entrada Zaino del Parque Tayrona. Instalaciones muy bonitas y cuidadas en un entorno inmejorable. Desayuno y comida del restaurante muy buena y a precio correcto. Staff muy amable y servicial.

Cons:

Deberían informar en las condiciones que para acceder al hotel se debe cruzar un río a pie donde la profundidad es de unos 30cm si el agua está baja. No se nos ofreció ni en la entrada ni en la salida la recogida con Jeep. La ducha de nuestra habitación no disponía de agua caliente. El pago con tarjeta tiene un recargo del 5% que no se informa en las condiciones de pago.

Séjour inoubliable et hors du temps
Pros:

Séjour en pleine nature, calme absolu, la traversée de la rivière à pied pour rejoindre l’hôtel est vraiment agréable. Le restaurant est délicieux, et enfin Bruno et Laurence sont adorables, un vrai plaisir d’échanger avec eux

Pros:

Le calme, le restaurant (options végétariennes délicieuses), proche de l’entrée El Zaino pour visiter le parc Tayrona.

Cons:

Il faut traverser une rivière à pieds pour accéder à l’établissement. Pour un ou deux jours ce n’est pas gênant et on nous a gentiment proposé de nous déposer en voiture le dernier jour avec nos bagages.

Pros:

Lieu très sympa, à 15min à pieds d'El Zaino. Super resto et belles chambres. Il y a aussi des activités à faire autour de l'hôtel sans entrer dans le parc (nous ne les avons pas faites)

Cons:

Lit un peu dur mais pas dramatique

A great experience.
Pros:

Everything. We had to cross two rivers to get to the property, it wasn’t that hard, definitely recommend to come here with light luggages. It is located literally in the jungle, wonderful waking up with the sound of the nature - birds, river flow. Facilities are amazing considering the location, though no hot water for the shower, we don’t mind that much. Close to the Tayrona entrance. We definitely would like to come stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Beautiful setting, hotel with a difference, wonderful hosts.
Pros:

Laurent and Bruno were wonderful hosts. The hotel has character - with many artistic touches that give the hotel a special atmosphere. It is set next to a wide, rocky stream in the jungle, away from the road, so it is a quiet and beautiful setting. The food is excellent, with welcome variety of international dishes. Bruno has more than 40 years of experience as a horse trek guide and cares for animals exceptionally well. We would not have considered a horse trek in Colombia or Peru because of concern for how the animals are treated and environmental impact in parks like Tayrona or the Inca trail, but we went for a lovely horse ride up into the mountains behind Tayrona with Bruno. We were so glad we found the Barranquero!

Magical rainforest retreat!
Pros:

Beautiful location, lovely people, fantastic ethos. What a pleasure to share our breakfast time with such an array of colourful birds. Swimming in the river was bliss!

Cons:

We didn't dislike anything. But if we had to make one suggestion, it would be to put a rail on the ladder up to the mezzanine floor. Climbing up to operate the air con was a little hair-raising!
