"Pros: I actually extended my stay here as I found a good little hike (Pica Alta) and a great snorkelling spot (from the left hand side of Playa Grande as you face the sea back to Taganga beach). I also found a bar that showed Premier League football with commentary (in Spanish) rather than reggaton during the game, so I decided to rest up for Christmas. Emvacamo was a good choice. A spacious apartment with an adequately equipped kitchen. There is a previous review that says they felt the area was dangerous. I disagree, I didn't feel that at all. The neighbouring properties played very loud music, often competing with each other on the decimal front, but maybe that was because it was Christmas time. Taganga is a little "rough around the edges" and I liked it a lot. If (when) I return I would stay at Emvacamo' again. Cons: The longish walk uphill from the beach and the D1 supermarket did become a bit monotonous but I think the price reflects that." ~Craig
