Superb hotel and food

Reviewed By new_world_travellers

We stayed 2 nights at Cayenna Beach and it was excellent. The room was superb and the food is top notch. The cocktails are also great. The swimming pool is excelent and the hotel has direct access to the beach. The staff is also very friendly and always ready to help. We were sad to leave… Highly recommended.

Finca El Ocaso Salento

Vinca el Ocaso coffee tour

Reviewed By Karo O

It was a great experience! We decided to walk from Salento center to the Finca, it’s a nice long walk, maybe wouldn’t recommend if it’s raining. We decided to take a shorter tour and we’re guided by lovely Andres! We’ve learnt a lot of interesting facts about coffee production and tried an amazing coffee on place! :) beautiful views, great quality. I would recommend it to everyone.

Spectacular jungle lodge

Reviewed By stork90

We've stayed in very rustic accommodations in jungle lodges in Peru, and this felt like luxury! Yes, there is mosquito netting over the bed (but then you slept very comfortably knowing you were safe from the little biters), and only cold water showers, but they were so refreshing after hiking or swimming, and only shocking on the morning we had to leave. We stayed in the separate cabin and loved all the space. Every evening, staff came by and let down the wall tarps in case it rained in the night, and the mosquito netting was set up for us, well before sundown. In the morning, the rain tarps were rolled back up, and our room was freshened while we were out on excursions. We totally agree with a previous poster who said the Aruscicito hike/canoe trip was the best. We saw the most wildlife/birds on this one compared to any other outing. I was very happily surprised at the lack of mosquitos! I'm usually a magnet for them, and I even stopped wearing repellent to dinner and never got bitten. (WARNING - I was eaten up in the Nuqui "airport" while waiting for our plane back to Medellin.) All of the staff were reserved, but friendly and helpful. The food is amazingly good for the location, and room rates include 3 meals a day. Alejandro is an excellent host. He was fascinating to visit with, speaks English very well, and was always checking in with us concerning activities or seeing if we needed anything. He even gave us some money back after we settled our bill, because our boat back to Nuqui was shared with several other guests, rather than just the two of us. No hesitation at all to recommend Punta Brava as a fantastic and comfortable place to experience the Pacific coast and jungle of Colombia. BTW, we are 60 and 61 y/o.

Gulupa Ecolodge

Ecolodge with the most wonderful hosts in Jardin :)

Reviewed By Wander25944640343

We have stayed four nights at Gulupa Ecolodge and we really loved it! What should I start with… the amazing view over Jardin, the cozy room with a lot of attention to details, the floor made of teak, the calm and to be in nature with many birds around you… the owner Gustavo and his staff are very attentive, friendly, open-minded and they give you good recommendations for activities. You have to try a pizza there, the zipline and the canopy! It‘s s definitely a must to do during a stay in Jardin! The gulupa ecolodge is a really great insider tip in Jardin. If you love nature, private atmosphere, lovely hosts and dogs ? you will enjoy your stay at Gulupa ecolodge. I wish we could have stayed longer ? thank you guys, we will come back for sure!

Hostal Marlyn

Hostal Marlyn is a traditional house of San Andres island with an area of ​​7.500 sq ft. It has twelve rooms, comfortable common areas and extensive gardens. It is located in one of the quietest residential neighborhoods of the city.

Wonderful stay

Reviewed By Sascha F

I stayed here for one night participating in the San Andres marathon. I shared a large room with two other friends. The place is conveniently located in a neighborhood close to the airport which you can easily walk to with a backpack in 15 minutes. Despite its closeness to the airport you do not here the noise from the airplanes. It is very quite. The place is impeccably clean. The room had TV, fridge, microwave, air-conditioner, fan. They don't offer breakfast but you can prepare your own food in a spacious kitchen/dining area. The people that received us were very friendly and provided useful information for sight seeing. There is a supermarket nearby where you can buy your food. The best is to explore the island with the small cars (mula) they rent everywhere.

Hotel Isla Mucura

Eco Hotel resort on the most beautiful island Colombia has to offer. Private bungalows in front of the beach as well as kiosks in the air give Hotel Isla Mucura a sense of magic in paradise

Amazing service set in paradise

Reviewed By Vipulan T

What a pleasant surprise to see that the hotel has been upgraded since the website photos were done.  An amazing island and great accommodation.  AC rooms with outside showers.  There was lots of space and it wasn't crowded.  The beach was small but lovely, with white sand and turquoise sea (with patches of sea grass). The layout of beach beds and seats has been well thought out. There is even a large outdoor games area with a big Jenga, table tennis, connect 4, bean bag game (no idea what that us called!). The snorkeling is not great to be honest. The coral is non existent, and personally wouldn't do the snorkel trip. Kayaking around Island was fun though. We are vegetarian, and this was the only negative. Breakfast was good, but there were no vegetarian options for other meals (apart from eggs). In fact we are plant based back home, but you can forget avoiding dairy here!! The most enjoyable part of the stay were ALL THE STAFF!!! What a happy bunch they all are!!! They really made us all welcome, and for us, excellent service is the most important aspect of a resort. Thank you all so much.

Finca Ecologica El Maco

Finca Ecologica El Maco is a unique combination of farm and hotel, located in San Agustin Colombia (1700 m a.s.). San Agustin is famous for it's archaeological park, one of the most important archaeological sites of the continent. The region was inhabited by a mysterious civilisation which left behind several hundred freestanding monumental statues carved in stone, as well as a number of tombs. This and the beauty of the unspoiled vegetation, caused by the mild subtropical mountain climat, attracts travellers from all over the world. Be it riding horses, trekking, river-rafting or archaeology, San Agustin is one of Colombia's best adventure destinations.

Cozy Cabins, Nature All Around & Great Food

We planned to stay for 2 nights and ended up staying 4. This place is full of warmth and hospitality. The designs of the cabins are unique and interesting. Hot showers and comfy beds! And the restaurant offers fantastic food: pizza, pasta and Swiss Röstli - thanks to a Swiss owner, who understands about hospitality, food and wellness! The staff was excellent and everyone really seemed to enjoy work at El Maco, they were like one big family, which makes for a great atmosphere. They also set us up for local tours, guides and activities and we did not have a care in the world and could just enjoy the beautiful ride! We will be back!
