Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall Jose and his family are really nice and will do everything to make your stay pleasant. But we had the upper floor rooms which have a gap between the thatch roof and the wall so mosquitoes and other things came in. Jose did put a mosquito net up after our second night but already were eaten up. My recommendation is he should install it permanently. Otherwise the family is great and the breakfast was great. They even set up my taxi from the airport to their place. The property is close to others with restaurants so there are a few food spots nearby. The park is about a 10 min bus ride. The hike to Cabo beach is about 2.5 hours. So be prepared for quite a walk. Overall the property is a pretty simple place run by good people.

Une adresse très agréable
Petit hôtel très agréable en bord de rivière, à quelques minutes de l'entrée principale du parc tayrona. Café offert. Petit déjeuner très copieux avec des fruits frais. Le propriétaire est très aimable et donne de bons conseils sur les environs. Piscine agréable.
