The hotel only had basement rooms while the rest of the building was under construction. It could be fun if you’re willing to walk from Calabazo, but the path is long and tough.

The staff were friendly and always ready to help, and the place sits right at the secondary entrance of the park—perfect if you want to crash the night before a visit. The downside? The rooms themselves are pretty basic and lack comfort.

Located right at the Tayrona entrance via Calabazo, the reception was super welcoming and the common area is pretty nice with a good breakfast. But the room and bathroom feel a bit spartan and the humidity is noticeable.

The host was genuinely kind and made us feel welcome, but the overall comfort level of the place is pretty basic.

The spot is excellent—right at the Tayrona entrance on the Calabazo side—but the hotel feels abandoned. We waited over an hour for someone to show us our rooms, even after we kept pointing out we were there. The rooms were old and dirty, and the shower had almost no water.
