Great pool, in Bocagrande away from the old city but only a few min away.

Great location, loved the 2 bedroom apartments for the family.

Friendly staff, delicious food, beautiful grounds, and comfortable rooms that kept us cool and safe.

The park itself is gorgeous with lots of breathtaking views and diverse wildlife housed within, but the thing that made it even more wonderful was the hiking guide and the experience he created based on his own knowledge of the park.

I love this hotel just sadly did not get to stay there because of plumbing issues.

Loved this hotel! So peaceful and quiet. Great staff and food, great services, amazing pool. Very clean (despite the 3 cockroaches I found!)

Despite having no water most of the week, I still loved this hotel. :) Great staff, and the first 3 nights I had a beautiful room.

I really loved especially my lighthouse room at the Fragata house. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My only negative comment would be that it's swarmed with people begging to make money off of your experience. I did not need to pay someone to take my picture.

Good location andjace t to Old Town. Modern and nice restaurant. Great rooftop pool.

Superb world class new hotel adjacent t to an amazing shopping mall with some great stores and good restaurants.

Amazing to see. What a creation 400 feet below the surface. And so expansive and grand, that there is no feeling of claustrophobia.

Wonderful experience with the lead priest who shared deep knowledge of history and traditions with a wry smile and sense of humor. Ráquira has what must be the world’s largest pottery shop with an amazing diversity of items.

Our guide Oscar seemed to know everyone in Town and knew just where to take us on an abbreviated tour due to a late arrival because of weather issues on roads.

Fun to hike to the view at the top and see the sculpture paying tribute to peasant heroes of the revolution to establish independence. Cable car ride to the bottom of one of the world’s deepest canyons was a thrill.

Great scenery coupled with understanding and appreciation great coffee snd the challenges in producing it.

East see why Disney filmed scenes for e Encanto here in this other world setting. What lush growth and scenery with the world’s tallest palms . Nice ecological success story.

Such comfortable beds, AC, and the breakfast was good also.

We stayed here two nights. It was in the middle of a coffee plantation and was a beautiful and serene setting. Our room had a terrace where we could sit and watch dozens of different types of birds. The hotel offered a meal plan for guests so we were able to take all our meals on site. Food was delicious and well prepared . There was a lovely pool and a coffee bar. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Clean and good breakfast in a good location near Monserate! Just wished their was temperature control or AC in the rooms as we were a little hot and opening the window at night can be noisy with street traffic

Loved this place outside Salento -and the staff are amzing and welcomnig! Jeffrey prepared an early homecooked breakfast just for us the mornnig we had an early flight! He also pre-arranged cabs for us in town

Beautiful hotel and room with rooftop bar in the heart of the city. AC stopped working at night but we called the next morning and they fixed.

Beautiful grounds and beach; lovely room; AC had some issues working and some tours were not in English so this was difficult for us (plankton and bicycle) so my family did not benefit from the information as much. Also would love a pool but understand why they probably can't put one in being a national park but that would bring it more next level. Food was hearty but not gourmet so a tad pricey for that compared to other resorts

Great duplex room, good location; nice pool and rooftop bar/couryard - good value for $$! One of the AC units was leaking a bit on the bed

We loved our guide and the food - he was informative and passionate and great with the kids! Thak you!!

Loved this experience - food was great, people warm and inviting and it was unique - thank you! Only lasted 2 hrs though but this was totally fine and we wanted to get to bed earlier :)

Loved it! Not really though it wasn't as long as advertised it was great

Gorgeous scenery and relaxing! Horses well behaved!

Loved it but we would have liked to have lunch sooner as we were a little starved and tired - ate around 4-5;30pm and then we didn't have energy to see the last square however we did squeeze this in and see it the next day so we were satistfied with that

Beautiful hike and scenery and made us understand the culture better and our visit to the Gold museum more meaningful!

Another fun and unique experience not to be missed!

Just amzing scenery and guide was great and informative!!!

really NA because we didnt get to to this - wasnt sure why bt Michael offered us a Casillo Tour in Cartegena instead which was very good to see and informative! The shop we visited though was lovely and we bought souveniers

A unique experience that the kids loved!

Another amaznig time - they made it so special for my son's bday and we loved makng the cake and chocolate figurines - perfect bday celebration and end to our trip!

Incredible experience in the jungle and a great value. The scenery around the hotel area is stunning, the pictures online do not do it justice. The bungalows are very comfortable. The only thing to note about the bungalows is that (at least in ours) the bathroom was not very separated from the rest of the structure so anytime someone wanted privacy to use the bathroom, everyone else had to go outside. But we made it work. The beds were comfortable and there is air conditioning and fans, so along with having the windows open at night we were very comfortable even though it was pretty hot. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the drinks were great, especially the mojitos. If you're a wine drinker, note that the availability was hit or miss - but Colombia is not really a wine drinking country, so better to have a beer or cocktail anyway! The staff were extremely nice and helpful, although not all of them spoke English.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel a lot. The location is great, right inside the walled city of the old section of Cartagena. The room was comfortable with good air conditioning. The only issue with the room was that the water in the shower never got hot, but a cool shower actually felt pretty good after a hot and sweaty day walking around outside. The breakfast buffet was very nice and there was also hot food made to order. The best part of the hotel was definitely the rooftop pool with a great view of the city, and the delicious cocktails we enjoyed up there. It was a great way to end the day and cool off before getting dressed for dinner. The staff at the hotel were all super nice and helped us with various requests including dinner reservations.

The visit to the market was very interesting and we loved our guides, including the chef. The food was absolutely delicious and it was fun to help prepare it. Our only complaint would be that the chef and her assistant did almost all the cooking and didn't explain to us what they were doing, so it wasn't really a "cooking class" as we did not learn how to prepare most of the food (with a couple of exceptions). That said, it was a fabulous private lunch so we couldn't complain! It was also a bit hot on the rooftop area where we were cooking/eating, so it might have been even a bit better if it were in an indoor location with air conditioning.

The women leading the workshop were wonderful and we had a great time making crafts. "Coconut workshop" is a bit of a misnomer as this is really a jewelry/accessories making workshop with polished colorful beads. You can't even tell they're made from coconuts. The finished products were all lovely and we can't wait to wear them. The setting of the workshop was also very nice, right on the beach with a cool ocean breeze.

Spectacular! The park was very crowded because we were there during Easter week (Semana Santa) but we made the bets of it and considered it part of the experience. Our guide helped us spot lots of birds, monkeys, and lizards.

We absolutely loved tubing on the Rio Don Diego all the way to the ocean. The indigenous ruins and museum before the tubing portion of the day were also interesting although it would have been even better if we had been able to spend a bit more time learning about the indigenous culture.

We enjoyed the tour of the coffee farm, it was interesting to see the traditional way of processing the beans. It would have been nice if we could have seen it in operation but we weren't there at the right time. It also would have been nice to see more of the area where the beans are grown, which was not part of the tour. Hiking to the waterfall where we were able to swim in the pool beneath it was very nice - our guide recommended that we go to Pozo Verde instead of the more popular one (Marinka) because of crowds, and that was a good idea. The lunch we had at La Casona with the hummingbirds was memorable. Overall we had a nice day, but the drive to Minca was quite long and it would have been nice to see more of the town/surrounding area to make the long drive more worth it.

It was very special to see the stilt villages and learn about the culture and history. We were invited into a resident's home for lunch, which was wonderful. They accommodated the vegetarians in our group. Our guide was very nice and also helped us identify the birds we saw on the way.

Our guide Roberto gave us a fantastic tour. Most of the time was spent at the fort because that was particularly interesting to us. Afterward, we walked back through the park with the sloths (!!) and through the old city back to our hotel. It was a very hot day and our daughter was tired, so Roberto very kindly adapted the tour to be a bit shorter. He made sure we had umbrellas to keep the sun off of us as well as cold water to cool down. It was a very good experience.

The mangroves were lovely and we saw a lot of birds. It was very special to help plant a baby mangrove in a reforestation area as well as to get a demonstration of the traditional fishing methods. The cold coconut water at the end was a bonus!

Our schedule changed and the drum workshop was not at sunset, so we can't comment on that aspect of it - but we had a great time watching the performances and learning the drum rhythms ourselves. We were given some very nice refreshments (appetizers and a mojito) as well.
