AMĀRA BEACH ECO HOTEL ★★★

"I stayed at RCH with my husband and two young children (6 and 8 years) five nights in January 2024. Upon arrival, one of the owners Paul offered our family an upgrade for a small fee - specifically, he upgraded us to a family suite, which comprises two interconnecting rooms (each with own bathroom). This configuration was our favourite configuration in all of Colombia, as previously we had been losing sleep by sharing two double beds between the four of us (the standard family room setup in the other hotels we stayed in). Thank you Paul for thinking of us and making this happen. Rooms - we were in interconnecting suites 3 and 4. The rooms are thoughtfully furnished and sleep quality is high (you can hear the waves!) The beds, pillows and linen were extremely comfortable, and a mosquito need is hung around the bed in case you would like it (though we didn’t actually see any mosquitoes). The bathrooms open-air and extremely lovely. L’Occitane essentials are provided. Hot water is plumbed in (quite unusual in these parts!), including at the outdoor beach shower. Vibes and location - the location is approx. a 2.5 hour, easy drive from Santa Marta. In terms of vibes, there is a lovely pool, bar and restaurant scene overlooking the water. The beach scenario is chalk and cheese as compared with Santa Marta (where we stayed for two nights). Here, there are no nuisances such as motorised watersports, touts setting up jewellery stands in front of you, people grabbing your feet and not letting go in order to give you a massage (all happened in Santa Marta). And while I don’t want to unduly disparage Santa Marta - the beach is truly stunning and we still had an amazing time - this is a much quieter experience, with only a few others on the beach at at time, and nobody selling things. Suitability for families - absolutely yes! Bring your children here. Just happy days on the beach - and more! Children are warmly received and welcomed. In fact, Paul went out of his way to arrange a special visit from a macaw for the children at the hotel! Between the beach and pool, and types of activities on offer, our children were extremely happy and entertained. I would like to add a special note that the people who designed the menu really “get kids”, and there are many options that our kids just loved. At one point they were fighting over the pasta al horno (I think that’s what it was called! The pasta with cheese). Interestingly, I thought the hotel was still romantic and perfect for couples. Paul and Carlos are nailing it! Activities - we were truly touched by the effort Carlos went to in planning our activities. We told Paul (in the first instance, then Carlos) what our interests were, and they curated a little itinerary for us. The flamingo experience was truly world-class and I hope that this attraction will be developed sustainability if and when it becomes more popular! Fingers crossed. But pre-kids, hubby and I saw flamingoes in four countries - Chile, E"

Casa Dibulla Hotel Boutique en la Guajira ★★★

"I hosted a yoga retreat at this place and it was perfect! Rosi made sure we had an amazing time. She planned different activities for us like cacao ceremony, sound healing and more. The food and the affection of the people was amazing! The rooms have AC and a fan, also each villa has a terrace. The beach is right in front is a 2 min walk. Amazing place to disconnect and have peaceful time. Super recommend!! ❤️"

Territorio Magico ★★★

"Territorio mágico a true little place in heaven. It is a unique experience with nature, life, and family. The beauty of the people, the natives, the nature and all that surrounds it is like no other when you arrive you feel that nature is in gratitude with all of us and that there is no limit to freedom and happiness. I truly believe it’s the best get away place I have ever been to. I truly recommend you visit this paradise in the Guajira Colombia."

Dreamer Palomino ★★

"Really enjoyed the whole hostel. The pool was great and the whole place wasn’t over busy but had a good vibe. Staff were friendly and the food was really good. Close to the beach and also dorms were good. Stayed in an airconditioned dorm that sleeps 8 but only had 2 others in there so lots of space and peace."

Coconuco Beach Palomino ★★★★

"We stayed 3 nights here and were very impressed. The entire place was extremely well-maintained and clean, and was beautifully landscaped in a way that enhanced the relaxing atmosphere. Our room had modern and quiet air conditioning, a rarity in this area, and a very comfortable bed. The entire staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was great. I appreciated that they rotated the breakfast options every morning (all were delicious), and the lunch/dinner menus both featured excellent meals. If we ever find ourselves returning to this area we intend to stay here again."
