"Pros: We had a room with a sea view on the highest floor. The sea is far away and sometimes barely visible, but the view over the trees is very nice since the place is high on the hill. The interior is nice and stylish, and the bathroom is high standard. The staff was nice and helpful. Good Wi-Fi. No air conditioning, but there were two fans and good air circulation. Coffee, tea, and cold water were available for free, which was very nice. You can really feel the jungle around— I spotted monkeys, lots of birds, big colorful insects, and spiders, etc. (of course, outside, not in the rooms!). The beautiful beach is a 7-minute walk away. It’s great because there are very few people, lots of cormorants, and two beach restaurants with good prices and delicious food. A 30-minute walk along the beach leads to a place where you can rent a kayak to explore the river. The sea here is very rough, so it’s not very good for swimming, but you can surf or jump with the waves. ;) The place is a 5-minute walk from the main road, where you can catch a bus every 20 minutes (to Santa Marta, Tayrona, or Palomino), but it’s far enough that you don’t hear the noise of passing trucks. Only on Saturday did we hear loud music from the bar. Cons: Now, the stairs. Yes, I had read about them before and didn’t take it too seriously, but if you are elderly or have health issues, they can be a challenge—especially in the evening when the lighting is poor. It’s not the height itself, but the steps are made of irregular tree roots. I’m fit, I’m a hiker, and I still needed my partner’s help to carry my luggage upstairs. And I only risked bringing tea from the reception in the dark in my flip-flops once. :) Only cold water. I know it’s very common in the whole region, but for the price and standard, you expect a bit more." ~Agnieszka
