Pros:

Sehr gut geführtes Hotel. Alles hat gepasst. Sehr sauber. Gutes Essen und ansprechender Pool. Uns hat vor allem die Nähe zum Eingang des Tayrona Nationalpark gefallen. Außerdem ist die Geschäftsführung sehr entgegenkommend.

Goede uitvalsbasis voor nationaal park
Pros:

Perfecte locatie op 2 minuten lopen van de ingang van het nationaal park. Zwembad is erg ruim en heel schoon. Super aardig personeel die ook veel tips gaf voor transfers richting Cartagena.

Cons:

Weinig ligbedjes bij het zwembad. De drie-persoonskamer had een gaas boven de deur waardoor er erg veel geluid door kwam. Tevens geen wifi in de kamer aanwezig, alleen in het hoofdgebouw.

Un des plus bel accueil du personnel en Colombie!
Pros:

On a absolument tout aimé! Les chambres confortables, la belle piscine, la bonne nourriture et surtout surtout l’accueil du personnel est formidable!!!!!

Nous avons eu droit à une délicieuse limonade de bienvenue très rafraîchissante. Il est possible de laisser vos bagages le temps de la visite à l’intérieur du parc Tayrona. L’entrée du parc est juste à côté. Vraiment un énorme merci pour tout ❤️

No recomendable
Cons:

No me gustó que habiendo pagado su precio (elevado) para dos noches, no hayamos tenido ni aire acondicionado, ni wifi, ni luz, ni ventilador por cortes de corriente continuos durante toda nuestra estancia.

El servicio de lavandería que pagamos no ha sido de nuestro agrado tampoco, la ropa nos la han devuelto aún sucia y algo húmeda.

Y por último, el servicio no ha sido todo lo amable que esperábamos.
