Emplacement idéal au bord du Rio, raccourci pour aller au village en à peine 10min à pied.
Très calme, personnel accueillant et aimable (nous avons beaucoup apprécié les échanges et l’attention de Maria)
Petit déjeuner très bon.
Chambre spacieuse et propre.
Une climatisation aurait été très appréciable mais sans faire défaut au reste.

Aardige mensen
Geen fasselliteiten, zoals bar of lounge hoek. Zeker als je hoger op de berg zit zou dat een pre zijn. Ondanks dat kon je het hostel ernaast wel zwemmen, eten en drinken bestellen. Gemiste kans voor het hostel.

Beautiful views and relaxing place. We loved staying here, only a short 15 minute walk into town over the river. Property offers room service from any restaurant in town with only 5000 COP delivery fee.
The bathroom and shower was a little small but all manageable.

De locatie dicht bij het riviertje waar we konden zwemmen en het prachtige uitzicht op de jungle vanuit ons balkon. Dank ook aan de dames van het ontbijt die voor onze vroege reis toch bereid waren een heerlijk ontbijtje to go klaar te maken!
De douche had een groot raam, wat een prachtig uitzicht gaf maar waardoor mensen jou ook kunnen zien. We hebben maar 1 iemand gezien die hier kwam en het raam beslaat snel dus uiteindelijk was het prima douchen.

Voelt alsof je midden in de natuur bent maar zit ook op loopafstand van minca centrum. Fijne plek om te slapen.
Deur van de suite sloot niet gemakkelijk. Ook zaten er wat kieren tussen de vloer waardoor vliegjes en muggen binnen konden komen.

The staff was always very friendly, warm, and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, the room was very clean, and we appreciated the mosquito netting around the bed. We also enjoyed the balcony with a table and two chairs on it. Overall, this was a very peaceful space.
The listing on booking.com gave me the impression that I would be in a significantly different room than the one I received. The lack of air conditioning required us to sleep with the door to the balcony open and between the heat and the sound of the river, we found it somewhat of a challenge to sleep soundly. It was also a bit challenging to locate the hotel initially because despite arrows directing you along the way, Sweet Harmony arrows are missing at a number of intersections.
Also, I did not know before arriving that the pool and hot tubs were fed by river water.

The view, the food, the private access to the river with a jucuzzi nearby to warm up!
The shower is very small but you can always bathe in the river:)

Very nice location in the forest, the breakfast was great you can choose what you want, so it's not every day the same. The staff was friendly, the swimming pool was nice and refreshing. It wasn't that far from town, easy to walk. We enjoyed the (loud) sound of nature, fireflies and harmony. It's in the middle of the forest so expect insects.
There is a mosquito net and the room was in a good condition.
The first night there was a migration of bugs and our room was getting invaded as well, eventho we had the door closed. We were a bit scared for the upcoming nights, but that turned out to be a one time problem. Make sure you don't use much light at night against bugs.

Loved the location of the property next to the river which you can hear, with lush grounds and swimming facilities. It was close enough to town but also for enough away.
The room was good, with a comfy bed and excellent AC. There were also a good variety of choices for breakfast and they caterered to out dietary needs.
Unfortunately the property next door often played loud music until around 11pm, which detracted from the ambience. The room has floorboards and some insects were able to get in through the gaps.
3.5 / 5.0
Nice, quiet private room, and the location was incredible. Great view with a comfortable balcony.
Unfortunately, our room was HOT at night. We didn't have AC. Was very confused why we didn't have a rotating fan in our room (because we saw other rooms did have them), and you can't leave the doors open because there is no net over the doors so many, many bugs fly in. We asked for a fan, and they said no. Very weird for the price.

the room was huge with comfortable beds and a really nice bathroom, pretty view. Tasty breakfast made to order. No free filtered water on sight. It is about 15 minutes walk from town, but this means you can’t get a taxi to the property with your luggage unless it’s a special car.
The hotel is locked by a gate and no one answers the gate at certain times. I finally realized late at night that you can stick your arm in and release the gate from inside but it’s not okay to lock guests out without any warning. Also, this gate is a big trip hazard. Watch out when you walk in- there is a big lifted area at the bottom of the gate and I almost fell. Towels are small and rough.

the restaurant was closed and we were only informed when we arrived. breakfast is only available 7-9pm. the pictures look more luxurious than in real life. it’s obviously beautiful accommodation but there is no upkeep. there are stains on the walls and curtains. the shower is poor. there’s gaps in the floorboards. our door was very wobbly and the lock wasn’t easy to use. pretty sure housekeeping left the door open when they were cleaning because when we returned there was a massive insect inside our bedroom which we had to ask somebody to remove. otherwise we never had the doors opened.
4.5 / 5.0
Amazing location, very relaxing hotel, good breakfast, late check in was possible and good beds. We had a wonderful stay and would stay longer the next time.
Good to know is that the village is a 10minute walk when you take a shortcut.
Advise to place some beds around the pool to chill.

we stayed in the suite with terrace and the hangmat nets, this was the perfect location to relax and calm down from the past weeks of travelling. we enjoyed the view a lot and also so short walk to the refreshing river and it’s only about a 10min walk into town (look out for the short cut). Also we could only hear the river at night and no music, which we enjoyed a lot. breakfast was also really nice wit different options to choose.

It was not close to the center and by this reason very calm. The view and the rooms were great and recommend the hotel for the people enjoying nature and great views

Very very friendly welcome, beautiful views
4.5 / 5.0
The new rooms are really amazing and very comfortable. There are small improvements that can be made, but they didn't bother me because the views are stunning, the hotel is beautiful and the staff are really friendly a patient if you are still learning Spanish. It is a little bit of a walk to central Minca, but a motor taxi is $5,000 pesos and a fun experience.
There is a little bit of upkeep and maintenance that is needed, but overall this was a minor point.

We had an amazing time here. The staff (Laura and Elena managing the hotels) are incredibly professional, we had lots of delays on our arrival day, causing Elena to stay much later than planned to receive us. Eventually our bus was so much delayed we could not even make it up to Minca anymore and so Laura arranged for us to stay for free in another hotel by the same owners in Santa Marta, which was also incredible! Sweet Harmony was a great place for a few days of rest and enjoying Minca. Easy walk from town, nice and quiet and with beautiful views from the balcony. The people making the breakfast and cleaning were also incredibly sweet and always smiling.

The hostel is located in a quiet area and the rooms have a nice balcony. The breakfast changes each day which is rare in Colombia. The airport shuttle the hotel can arrange is also great.
The staff were for the most part absent and in a rural town recommendations would have been great. the mosquito net on our bed wasnt the best fitting and when we arrived the lights were on in our room, with the doors open at night so it was filled with alot of bugs. The wifif also didnt work in our room

We stayed in a cabana with balcony. Nice garden and river view. Relaxed. Basic but decent facilities. Good breakfast, friendly staff. Good wifi.
The ahower could be cleaner. Because of the rain/humidity, there is a lot of funghi. Understandable. But try to keep it clean. Some cups and towel hooks would be appreciated.
1.5 / 5.0
Comfortable and pleasant room. Large bathroom and balcony. Breakfast was also fine.
The swimming pool and jacuzzi were not very clean. The member of staff did not show us around the place as they usually do in other hotels, and the level of attention was not very good either. The hotel appeared to be understaffed. When leaving, there was initially no-one available at the counter. However, this hotel has a lot of potential to improve.

Our stay was great! The location, breakfast, cleanliness, comfort, everything was perfect!
The restaurant was closed when we were there but it was very easy to order from a restaurant close by in order to avoid going all the way to Minca

The Sweet Harmony property is beautiful in a peaceful natural setting. Our room was comfortable and very cute, clean and the shower had hot water (a perk on this part of Colombia). The host was lovely and even allowed us for a late breakfast as we arrive a little after the closing time. The walk to the village is reasonably short (head lamp required at night) and charming with the bridge crossing.
There are two Deluxe bedrooms with balcony, only one has an open view on the mountain. The other one has a tree in front, it is still nice and peaceful and we enjoyed the balcony nonetheless, but if you are into the view a lot maybe ask in advance.

Covered terras is a plus when it rains
Good beds and shower
Good quiet fan
Good communcation by staff
Due to the humid climate the bathroom was moldy… not a nice sight…
There were also tiny worms on our curtains. But i guess that’s nature

The view is amazing. Comfortable bed and room.
I chose the place due to the photos of the jacuzzis but failed to enjoy it. The water was cold and it doesn't look as nice as at the pictures
5.0 / 5.0
The view was beautiful! I loved eating breakfast overlooking the mountains. The path down to the river provided easy access to "Las Piedras." The rooms were clean, cute, and comfortable. All of the staff was sweet. We chose to walk to and from town- it only took 10 minutes- but you can moto taxi as well!
5.0 / 5.0
Best breakfast we had in our trip in Colombia with the most amazing view!
The place is very well located in Minca, with very nice views over the jungle. Perfect for a few day break outside of the world.
Shower was a bit cold sometimes
