Eco Hostal Kuima, hotel in Santa Marta

Eco Hostal Kuima is located in El Zaino and features a pool with a view and mountain views. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

A good value and characterful base to get to the park and a good place to spend time chilling out. Our room was clean and the air con worked perfectly. Breakfasts were nice, served by the smiling ladies with freshly prepared fruit. Over four nights we found that the restaurant right next door called Coconuts was great for lunch or dinner, and you can order in. As the other reviews say, Victor cares that his guests are happy. We were there over new year and he gave us excellent advice to visit the park on the 31st as it would be packed on the 1st and 2nd. We had a great hike and we saw huge queues the day after. Park entrance is walkable but big lorries on the roads sometimes.

Moon Wind Tayrona Hostel by Rotamundos, hotel in Santa Marta

Offering a garden and garden view, Moon Wind Tayrona Hostel by Rotamundos is situated in El Zaino, 2.1 km from Castilletes Beach and 34 km from Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino.

We're traveling for almost five months through South America and this was by far the best accommodation that we had! It all started with a smooth WhatsApp contact after booking, where the accommodation helped us to arrange a taxi from the Santa Marta airport straight to the accommodation. From the moment of arrival, we felt very welcome. Our room was spacious, absolutely clean and had a great balcony. We also enjoyed the pool and the jacuzzi. One afternoon, we could even observe three toucans from there! The accommodation is also just a five minute walk from the Tayrona park main entrance away and a great restaurants. An extra bonus were the extremely cute cats and dogs that live on the property.

The staff is very nice and careful. All clean and the house with the private bathroom is silent in the night. It's 30 minutes far from the start entrance of the hike, but there are buses every 15 minutes passing. Really adviced

Staff there were about to return the place to the landlord as they were aware of the work that needed to be done to the place. They were all very kind and lovely, unfortunately this place is the worst place we've ever stayed at.

    A cozy accommodation in a great location! The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. It is a 20 minute walk to the main entrance of the park and there are many nice restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and we slept well in the bed. There is a nice pool that is shared with other guests, but we had it to ourselves most of the time. There were also friendly pets that would come and say hello. Thank-you for such a lovely stay!

    Alejandro is a great host. I booked a single room - big bed mosquito net, sockets, a fan and reasonable wi-fi. The breakfast and evening meal were good and not expensive. Towels provided. Not far from both entrances to Tayrona National Park.

    Gorgeous hammock on the balcony overlooking the river. With a great host - incredibly helpful with lots of useful tips for getting around. And when we had issues with our plumbing, they were fixed the same day. Great location - super easy to get to two different Tayrona Park entrances (one on foot, the other by bus), and some nice restaurants 5min walk away.

    Great hosts! Very friendly staff! Great location, a beautiful room with mango trees in front of the room in a very well kept garden. I was lying in the hammock just listening to the mango's fall on the ground :-). The hosts also got me in contact with a local guide, Laurent (Spanish, French and English speaking) who gave me a great tour of the Sierra Nevada, had a swim in the river and told me lots of interesting facts about the nature, the agriculture and Colombia in general.
