Loved our stay overall! It’s a 20-min walk from town but it is a pretty easy walk and that’s what gives the good views. Also just a 10min walk to Pozo Azul and Cascada Perida. Food at the restaurant inside the hotel was REALLY good and not super priced up (burgers for 28k and other mains for 38-48k), which is quite important given the hotel is not in town and you’ll probably eat there quite often. We had AC in room and reliable hot water in the shower, very nice rooms as well, which are not a given in the mountains in Minca. Beautiful pool and amazing views for sunset!
There could definitely be more deck chairs by the pool as there is where the view for sunset is the best and it is basically never available when we stayed. No hair dryer.

I had an amazing stay here and would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Minca. Amazing value for money considering the standard of the place and the fact that there’s free breakfast (I highly recommend the pancakes) and free morning yoga. The property is beautiful, views are amazing, the pool area is great, the food is delicious, staff are super friendly. It definitely feels more like a hotel than a hostel. I stayed in a mixed 8-person dorm which was comfortable, decent storage space. In addition to the dorm’s bathroom there are also bathrooms and a shower off the main corridor, which meant I was rarely left waiting for a bathroom. The restaurant’s food is really delicious. A bit on the higher budget end, but there’s a pizza place v nearby if looking for something cheaper, or can walk into Minca. 100% recommend staying here!
The only downside is that that the walk into Minca is down a long road with no streetlights, so a bit scary at night if walking solo.

La piscina y el área de hamacas de arriba son fabulosas con vistas a Santa marta y a la selva. El restaurante es muy bonito decorado y con bebederos de colibrí que estaban rodeando todo el recinto, una belleza. Se ven muchas aves, incluso tucanes.
Los dormitorios compartidos, en una zona un poco alejada del restaurante con una gran cuesta, pero muy bonitos, limpios, con una gran terraza que se ve al atardecer desde las hamacas y más bebederos de colibrí. Tiene cocina por si quieres prepararte algo.
Muy muy recomendable
Para la litera de arriba era incómodo le faltaba un escalón.

De liggen en accommodatie is erg mooi en verzorgd. En was over het algemeen schoon. Lekker eten in het restaurant en het ontbijt was goed. De zonsondergang vanaf dit hotel is prachtig. Er hing een rustige sfeer maar ik heb toch makkelijk contact gemaakt met andere gasten!
Mijn verblijf was in een gebouw wat ongeveer 5-10 minuten naar beneden lopen was. Op zich vond ik dat geen enkel probleem. Ik hoorde dat het hotel deze locatie over heeft genomen van een ander verblijf. Wat wel vervelend was, was dat er geen klinkt op de deur zat en deze niet op slot kon. ‘s nachts moest de deur dus tegen gehouden worden door een prullenbak.

Beautiful, clean room. Perfect view from the terrace.
The restaurant staff was not exactly friendly. The breakfast options were rather limited. Of all the hotels in Colombia that we visited it was the only one that did not offer fresh juice for free. Overall, it is slightly too expensive for what you get.

Gutes Frühstück / Restaurant, schöne Anlage und Zimmer, freundliches Personal. Gratis Yoga-Angebot, SPA um die Ecke. Gute Lage mit Schöner Aussicht.
Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, Zimmer noch voll in Ordnung, aber man merkt hier und da, dass es nicht gut in Schuss gehalten wird.

We loved the pool! The hotel was very clean and our room was comfortable, the air con worked well. The hotel was easily accessible by mototaxi which was cheap and fun or by walking up from Minca!
The restaurant really lets this place down and was the only negative for us. For breakfast the guests have access to only a limited menu of pancakes, eggs or granola rather than the other things on their normal menu. One of the days they didn’t have pancakes available.
The service in the restaurant was very slow, one of the days at lunch time we waited 50 minutes for our drinks even though there were only 2 other tables occupied.

The pool area and verandah were very pleasant places to relax. The yoga class was excellent. Room was clean and had good facilities.
The service in the restaurant was so slow that we only chose to eat one evening meal there. It was much quicker e to walk 20 mins down to the village and eat there. Painful waiting for breakfast.

La estancia fue maravillosa en el lugar, los precios y las comidas fueron una de las experiencias más hermosas de mi vida, un paisaje y tener al lado un recorrido al río y de paso a cascada escondida una inmersión total. 100% recomendada para desconectar y relajarse.
Lo único que me hubiera gustado es que la piscina tuviera calefacción. Con eso el sitio pasaría de maravilla a un paraíso total

Really good food for a good price.
Pool is stunning and also a waterfall is only a 5 min walk away.
20 minute walk to Minca town or a 5 min motorbike ride for 5000cop (super cheap)

An incredibly beautiful place with hummingbirds everywhere. Food was delicious and staff nice. Perfect place for relaxing. Beautiful hidden waterfall close to the place.
Steep uphill from sleeping dorms to the restaurant & pool (not really that bad but only thing worth mentioning)

Las instalaciones son muy bonitos.
Me agrado bastante que la parte de los cuartos compartidos sean en una cabaña aparte… se respiraba mucha tranquilidad.
Desayuno muy bueno incluido + clases de yoga gratis!!!!
Lo único que podría decir es que sería genial que la puerta de la habitación tenga una manija o algún tope para que no se abra durante la noche.
Estuve en ese afán de que si alguien salía, aunque dejara la puerta pegada, se abría enseguida.
8.0
The social areas are excellent and makes the most of the stunning surroundings. The food at the restaurant is very good. We upgraded after one night to the 2 bed house and it was amazing! Really made our visit special
I booked a room which was only 9 metres without realising how small it would be. The rooms are riad style and there was no external window so it really wasn’t comfortable. We were very lucky to be able to pay extra to upgrade to a spacious house as I was sick when I was there and it would have been difficult in the tiny room.
Service is a little slow in the restaurant and they only had one soundtrack we heard on a loop for 3 nights.
We don’t speak Spanish - our bad - and none of the staff speak English so comms were tricky at times

It’s in a gorgeous setting. You can see all the way to Santa Marta. Hummingbirds everywhere, short hike to a cold river to play in.

La ubicación es super agradable, el área de la piscina muy bonita con su vista, que quede cerca de una cascada hace que la experiencia sea mucho mas agradable; agrego también que tener agua a libre demanda y café listo para consumir me gustó mucho.
Desde que llegamos, tuvimos inconveniente con la host en la recepción porque nos quería ofrecer una habitación distinta reserva y después de amenazar de irnos 12 personas y solicitar el reembolso del dinero, nos resolvieron; estuvo siempre con una actitud bastante altiva y un poco mal educada, al punto de justificar que en el hotel éramos los únicos colombianos alojados. Meseras discutiendo frente a mi por quien tenia el celular para facturar, habitación debajo de la recepción extremadamente ruidosa, llave del baño dañada en uno de los cuartos que reservamos, platos con proteínas quemadas, en fin, bastante decepcionante nuestra estadía.

Prachtige locatie en echt heerlijk eten!
Het is slecht aangegeven. De naam van t oude hostel staat er nog, maar dit wordt niet benoemd in de routebeschrijving van het hotel.
Ook het personeel was niet even behulpzaam. Onze deur deed het niet goed en er zou iemand komen kijken om 8 uur sochtends, maar dat is niet gebeurd. Wij hadden wel speciaal een wekker gezet. Mijn vriendin moest overgeven van de zalm en heeft dit teruggekoppeld aan het personeel en die zei alleen maar dat ze twijfelt of dit wel door de zalm kwam. Verder geen sorry of hoe gaat het of wat vervelend.
Ook hebben ze maar een keer wc rollen vervangen

Not really anything. It was small rooms, yes, but we did not mind.

El alojamiento es espectacular. Nos encantó la vista y la piscina. Realmente un lugar para relajarse. Tiene una cascada a 10 min caminando (toca pagar para entrar) pero vale completamente la pena.
Es el mejor hotel en el que he estado en Colombia. Volvería.
Recomendaría escoger una habitación con aire acondicionado para dormir más comodo.

Amazing views, lovely pool, good food at the restaurant, chill music and great vibes.
Unfortunately our room had several issues that were not addressed during our stay: a broken, splintering door frame with shards of wood coming out every time the door opened, a dripping sink, a bad odour in the bathroom.
After asking several times to move room/ for these issues to be addressed, we were given a 20% discount on the food and drink bill. This was appreciated but I was unhappy as these issues were obvious and known about by the staff before we stayed in the room.
This room needs to be taken out of use for a week so the sink and door frame can be replaced and to not book further guests into this room ..

Comfy room and outdoor spaces.
Pool area is perfect to catch the sunset and enjoy the afternoon bird sightings.
Great little pizzeria on the property too 100 meters down from the hotel.
Nothing, all was perfect.

The pool deck is incredible, with an amazing view over the forest. The common areas in general are very nice. Breakfast is great and the proportions are big! The rooms are nicely decorated.
There is no AC in the private rooms, and they do not have windows, so it gets stuffy and it is hard to air them out. For rooms at this price, this is a problem. Furthermore, when we were there, they spent the two afternoons doing loud work around the pool, seemingly lot caring that clients seek out this place to rest. The staff was not unfriendly but not particularly helpful either. We had to go and ask for our room to be cleaned.

Amazing food, amazing location! Reception was not as good as hotel is but the stay there worth it
Reception training would be much better I think. I had to wait because receptionists were discussing something not important so I didn’t feel welcoming at all

The hotel is very nice, has superb views and a very cool pool. The rooms are basic but nicely decorated, the beds very comfy.
The staff is very kind and helpful and the restaurant has a good selection of meals with fair prices.
It’s some 20’ on foot from Minca, so it’s possible to walk to the town. El Pozo Azul is also quite close, 45’ walk.
The WiFi didn’t work for half a day.
In the room we’d have wished a couple of hangers more to hang out wet clothes for drying.

The resort is very clean and well staffed. The beds are comfortable and air con is great. The pool area has amazing views and all this with free coffee and water makes it very good value for money!
I had a bad stomach over night and the next day from something I ate there. Not what you expect from this standard of kitchen as the food tasted very good.

Beautiful hostel - modern with great pool. Really enjoyed the birds that visit the trees in the mornings.
Staff was great and helpful except for the head manager (or owner not sure who he was) but he was always on the phone/computer.
I initially booked the room with the two double beds (Room 4), which listed that the room only had two beds but in reality it also was shared with 6 bunk beds. I am familiar with shared room/hostel set ups but the booking / description of the room was misleading. I relayed this to the staff so I hope they are able to fix. There was also a mother / son who booked the same room with the same expectation and they were similarly surprised that they had 6 other people in the room.

Great hotel with lovely decor and amazing views. Being in the middle of the jungle there’s wildlife all around and we saw some amazing birds. The rooms are a good size and the beds are comfy. The pool is a highlight and the sunbeds. The restaurant and the food was the best part of our stay - incredible food.
We thought the service in the restaurant could have been a little better - the staff were very friendly but we often had to go up to them to order, rather than them coming to our table. It also wasn’t made clear on check in that if we wanted our room cleaned, we had to ask at reception and give our room key - we only found out after check out.
