Schön gelegenes Hotel mit tollen Sonnenuntergängen
Pros:

Sehr schön gelegenes, nachhaltiges Hotel etwas ausserhalb von Minca. Die Zimmer haben eine wunderbare Aussicht in den Urwald und je nach Lage auch auf Santa Marta, das Meer mit wunderschönen Sonnenuntergängen. Das Personal ist hilfreich.

Cons:

Das Frühstück könnte man mit wenig Aufwand und Kosten verbessern, indem man Tee, Wasser und etwas Saft anbietet. Wir haben das bemängelt und am nächsten Tag gab es zumindest heisses Wasser und Saft.

Lugar perfecto para conectar con la naturaleza
Pros:

La ubicación es hermosa, queríamos estar en contacto con la naturaleza y lo encontramos aquí. Todo el día era un concierto de cantos de las aves y las chicharras. Hay senderos naturales para caminar y observar la naturaleza, hay un mirador espectacular y privado.
El balcón con hamaca fue mi lugar favorito!

Cons:

En el momento en el que fuimos no había servicio de restaurante, pero nos descontaron el valor de los desayunos que estaban incluidos.
En el momento en que fuimos estaban en remodelación de algunas zonas, se escuchaban los ruidos de la obra, pero solamente fue el primer día cuando llegamos, de resto no lo volvimos a notar.
Si sufres de las rodillas quizá no es el lugar para tí, el acceso a las cabañas es por escalones de piedras, pero las ubicación del hotel lo vale.

Beautiful 🤩 and charming!!
Pros:

The view is absolutely incredible, and the peace that permeates this place is wonderful.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they also give you lots of tips on what to do nearby. You can also wash your clothes there and they will return them clean and folded.

We were so lucky that almost every morning two toucans came to visit us, sometimes two squirrels, and of course many different kinds of birds.

Keep in mind that the bungalow doesn't have glass windows, so you'll hear the cicadas and salamanders all night long, and the birds will wake you up very early in the morning. You might also encounter the occasional spider.

I don't recommend bringing heavy suitcases as access to each bungalow is a bit difficult.

Cons:

For such a beautiful view, it would be nice to have the option of having coffee in the room, but it wasn't available.
😅maybe The lack of glass windows and a door makes it difficult to sleep and you can hear everything, but it's understandable since we're in the jungle.

Pros:

This place was magical, we heard and saw so many birds directly in front of our "room", which was more or less a house we had to our own, surrounded by nature and hammocks. It was not too close to town so it was pretty calm, but also not too far out, it was possible to walk about ten minutes to restaurants and shops. The breakfast and food in general were great. We loved the fact that - compared to other accomodations around - they had mosquito nets at the windows, so you could feel the breeze at night, but not have (too many) insects in the room.

Cons:

Bring cash and mosquito spray! There are no real ATMs in town and they add a five percent fee on card payments everywhere, also in the hotel. The mosquitoes are vicous and numerous, even if they have mosquito nets at the windows, they have holes here and there. But there's another one around the bed, so they didn't bother us at night.
