We loved this hotel! We only regret we haven’t stayed longer. We stayed one night after we did a whole day hike from Calabazo to El Zaino. And it was the best decision we made to rest one night here. Pictures can’t do the justice to this place, everything is surrounded by beautiful nature and hotel facilities. Hotel staff has been lovely, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We used restaurant and the food was the best we had in the entire Colombia, and it was also very fast. It seems that some of the comments for this hotel are outdated so I suggest guests to read the most recent ones. Thanks again to everybody for wonderful stay, we can’t wait to come back!

This is a true paradise hotel located into a forest - still being well separated from it to guarantee the necessary relax after a very long day (you're going to need it facing the long journey into the Tayrona park!). This honestly was one of the best hotel I've ever experienced in my life.

Very clean, close to the entrance of the park, which is so convenient to drop the load and continue the journey. Kudos to Dario at the reception who made the checkin easy and gave a lot of info, goof food, reasonable prices, try the fruit bowl! You’ll see what i say after you order it, two jaccuzies, hot and cold, and a nice view to crash after long walk to Cabo Juan

Location

Quite clean and peaceful

The rooms are not so isolated so you can hear the neighbors easily.

We had a great stay at Yachay. It is the first hotel when you arrive in the park. The hotel offers a shuttle to bring you at the beginning of the main paths. The hotel has everything you need, the food is great also. The staff was amazing and really helpful, full of recommendations. Totally recommend it !

Rooms are very keen of hearing and most of the staff can't speak english.

Very good breakfast and friendly staff. Also the location is perfect.

Ecohotel Yachay Tayrona is the perfect, affordable spot right inside the entrance to Parque Tayrona (El Zaino). Located in the jungle, you wake up to howler monkeys and birds every morning. The hotel can arrange a quick bus ride (12 thousand COP) to take you to the track. From there, you can walk all the way to playa Cabo San Juan or stop at 2 other lovely beaches along the way. The hotel itself is lovely - the food was really delicious, offering fresh-caught seafood. The staff are exceptional. Dairo is a wonderful host who is very attentive and will help you with your Spanish! Overall it’s a quiet, tranquil spot that’s perfect for anyone wanting to escape the noise of Santa Marta.

Restaurant was understandably limited but fine. Nice breakfast but didn’t quite get why we were limited to one black and one white coffee each! No nice bread either and had to ask for butter/jam. It’s only 3min drive from the park gate so deliveries can’t be too big an issue. But just a small niggle.

Beautiful location with gardens and amazing walkway access through the trees from the restaurant entrance. Staff were great and helpful. Really nice common areas with plunge pool and jacuzzi. Our a/c didn’t work but we were moved to another room without a fuss.

The beds were HORRIBLE. That’s the single thing that we did not like during our stay but it was significant enough to deserve a comment. Everything else was perfect but the beds really need to be changed. If you have a weak back, this may not be the spot for you. My back hurt for several days after the trip…

The hotel is absolutely stunning, the views are incredible, it’s cosy and the staff is super friendly and we really liked the food. We were there during the low season (May) and the hotel was almost empty which was a huge plus because we had the entire place for ourselves.

Only one set of towel for the entire stay. Wish I had new ones each day. Linens weren't entirely clean on original check-in, but it was fine

Super amazing + friendly staff, air conditioning, great breakfast and restaurant on site, perfect location in park.

The only issue when we stayed was the kitchen was not open all the time. So my parents were unable to have lunch on arrival

Stayed in March 2025

if you don't come by car, be aware that you have to take a little bus from the entrance to the hotel and it's still a little way with your luggage. perhaps you are as lucky as we were and the staff help you

amazing place, in the middle of nature but all the comfort, super nice amenities, amazing food and the friendliest of staff, look no further!

Not sure if its because its relatively new but quite some things were not working or in maintenance (jacuzzi or pool).

The personnel were super friendly and helped us to get the tickets to the park in advance. Its super convenient to be inside the park. The hotel looks quite new.

Cold showers which were supposed to be hot. This was a real downside for us. Especially after telling the staff and them not doing anything to try and rectify the situation. Very bright lights outside our room which kept me awake. The manager assured me they would be switched off on our second night, but didn’t fulfill his promise. The wait time in the restaurant is a joke. They were completely overwhelmed even if it wasn’t particularly busy. My kids pasta dish took 1.5 to arrive. Another couple waited over an hour just for a coffee so left. This is a real a shame as the quality of the food was very good. They just really need to figure out the time management within the kitchen.

Great to be inside the Tayrona national park. Food was very good at the restaurant. Hot tub on the balcony was great! Excellent massage

Nestled in the middle of the jungle, the property is beautifully integrated into its surroundings. The dinner was delicious, and the menu offers a great variety of options. Dairo was very helpful and attentive. For a one-night stay, this accommodation is sufficient.

The staff outdid themselves. Loraine, took good care of us. Neli gave us a warm welcome. Dayro and the rest of the staff were great. The accommodation was very comfortable.

Isolation is not great but it is expected in this kind of construction, I wish people would be more considerate with others, not the fault of the hotel but the guests upstairs woke us up at 5am yelling, running and rolling their suitcases.

It is beautiful and surrounded by nature, loved seeing/hearing some animals (toads, birds, foxes, monkeys). Breakfast and dinner were good. I liked the jacuzzi reservation system. The staff is lovely and very helpful. I read some people complained about the lack of hot water but with the heat in the area I quite enjoyed the temperature.

Showers are cold but this is OK given the temperature of the jungle! There was only 1 desert available which was very small - but delicious. In these temperatures we need ice cream! It is a 10 minute bus and then a 1 hour walk to get to the nice beaches.

The staff were amazing, particularly Anderson on reception and the head waiter! Room was comfy and bug free. The team helped to clean my trainers at short notice which was very much appreciated. The team gave loads of recommendations and info and even called us over when they spotted a Boa constrictor near the main road. The setting was beautiful. The massages were great. Beautifully manicured gardens. Try the Panacota.
