    One of the houses was a bit warm, as the air conditioning wasn’t working properly. Communication before arrival could also have been better (with the payment and arrangement of transfer). But overall, I was really satisfied and had a great stay.

    Beautiful location in the heart of the jungle, surrounded by monkeys and wildlife. The gated entrance made us feel safe throughout our stay. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious – even had steak with cheese sauce! Cocktails were great, staff very friendly and spoke good English. We also enjoyed some excellent massages. Highly recommended!

    - CTV on balcony, it felt very invasive of our privacy. Did not like at all. - pool cleaning before breakfast took so long - wanted to do a 6am swim on multiple mornings but couldn’t. - not that we didn’t like, but as a suggestion, would be awesome if you had bird feeders on your balcony!

    The location was beautiful, hotel was clean, the food and cocktails were great, staff very friendly.

    Perfect spot to unwind!

    The wifi signal in the room was weak and sometimes non existent (due to the hotel’s location). There were not enough outlets in the room for electronics. The A/C took awhile to cool off the room and the wooden shades didn’t completely close, so I felt like I was air conditioning part of the outside. There was no luggage rack to put bags onto (just a long countertop) It was unfortunate breakfast wasn’t included in the rate (it was about $7.50 for breakfast, which I suppose is fair given the remote location of this resort). It is also unfortunate that there aren’t any restaurants nearby - just theirs. I suppose this is good if you’re there to unwind and don’t want to go out exploring. The pool was nice, but the temperature of the water was not refreshing at all (July) as the pool is in the sun pretty much all day long . I suppose I could have gone to the onsite river but the river was on the low side and it would have been difficult to swim in it (wading would be possible or sitting in it).

    The hotel grounds were beautiful. My hotel room was a bungalow (stand alone). I had plenty of room for my belongings. The bungalow had A/C and a small porch and offered a hairdryer and shampoo . It has a secured gated entrance. The pool is big, and they offer a welcome drink and snack. There is a walking path down to the river or between this property and the other resort -Senda Watapuy. They have an activities coordinator to help schedule local visits/tours, but there are also some chairs located outside if you just wanted to stay on property and relax/unwind. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, asking how they could improve or if you had everything you needed.

    We liked our room. We could have used a broom to sweep out the sand that we collected during our adventures at Tayrona National Park. Also, the placement of the air conditioner so close to the bed woke us up a few times with either cold or the bright light from the control panel. You can adjust the plate so it doesn’t blow on you, but there are regular power lapses which then reset the AC to its default settings.

    It’s a beautiful property. The staff is very kind and accommodating, which makes it a lovely place to stay.

    Set in lush surroundings, and the river was devine (this made our trip as we could swim and cool off in a private and natural setting at the end of a hot day walking). The staff were lovely and helpful. Very close to the entrance to the Tayrona National park.

    Everything was great.

    You can tell that the owners of the hotel, along with the staff truly care about the guests and want to make sure we enjoy our stay at their hotels. The managers Maryuris and Angie, went above and beyond with helping us during our stay. I truly believe that any issues you might have, they will do everything that they can to help you out. Besides the hospitality, everything was great. The beds smelled very clean, like fresh laundry, with different sized pillows. The view of nature around the pool and the hotel was amazing, and I very much appreciated that there wasn't any loud music playing. Everything felt like paradise in nature. I would definitely return and would want to check out some of their other hotels in the area. Over all, the highlight of our stay in Colombia.

    Terrific place to stay when you're in Tayrona! It's a calm and relaxing place with a beautiful nature-integrated hotel complex which we absolutely loved. The vibe was great and especially the pool and restaurant are a 10/10 must try (we recommend to visit the restaurant of the partner hotel Senda Watapui as well, amazing place and food). The rooms were very clean and the the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Enormous recommendation! PS book a massage ! It’s absolutely worth it.

    The meatballs on the menu were the only thing we didnt like of what we ate

    Loved it! Great food (recommend the baby beef). Also possible to eat in their sister hotel up the road, with a slightly different menu. Rooms are large and amazing, as well as the central pool area. Lots of birds, squirrels and some beautiful blue tailed small lizards in the nature surrounding the cabins. Very close to Tayrona park entrance (walking distance). Massages are very good! Free cold water refills at the bar.

    The was not a lot of pressure in the shower and the water was cold in one of the bathrooms. As you can expect, there’s a lot of insects (even inside the bedrooms).

    Amazing staff and great food. 10 min walk to Tayrona’s gate. The bedrooms are huge and comfortable.

    Senda Koguiwe was amazing! The setting of the hotel is incredible surrounded by rainforest. It was absolutely stunning. The room was spacious and clean and the hammock on the porch was lovely. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The biggest surprise was how delicious the food was! some of our favorite food from our trip, it was all fresh and flavorful. Make sure to try the chickpea ceviche! It is only a 5-10 minute walk to Tayrona National Park which made getting to the park so easy. Highly recommend getting a massage. The treatments are affordable and the setting is unreal overlooking a flowing river. I would absolutely stay again and recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to the area.
