We loved this place. Unbelievably wonderful energy. Rooms were beautifully decorated. The grounds were perfectly cared for. Really kind hospitality from every staff member. Food was absolutely incredible. Allowed us to store our luggage while hiking Tayrona and come back and shower in their wondrous outdoor shower. Highly recommend.

Villa Tayrona exceeded my expectations. The property is peaceful, beautiful, and surrounded by breathtaking mountain and sky views. Everything was very clean, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing.
One of the highlights of my stay was definitely the food. I had the arroz verde Tayrona with shrimp and a coconut limonada, and they were so delicious that I ordered them again the next night!
The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating throughout my stay. Lena made transportation from Barranquilla airport simple and stress-free and even arranged food and drinks for my late-night arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch.
I also appreciated how helpful everyone was with explaining local bus transportation, which turned out to be the easiest and most affordable way for me to get around. The location is perfect — within walking distance to Tayrona National Park.
The friendly dogs and cats on the property made the experience feel even more warm and welcoming. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Colombia. 🌞💛

Lovely villa in great location.
Beautiful villa with the forest on your balcony.
The jacuzzi is a bath on the top floor, not a hot tub.
No Uber service from there as it is right by the national park but you can get the bus from right outside or hire a motorbike rider! I did both for the enchanted pools and Palomina for tubing.

Everything was great except the bed. Noise and hard.
I got a massage and the massage therapist was the best I have ever had. Best massage ever.
The two rice dishes on the menu, I had them vegetarian and they were delicious.

Wonderful
We only stayed for 2 nights but it was amazing. I contacted them prior to my trip to ask if they could do anything for my boyfriend's birthday and they made a beautiful bouquet arrangement for him and offered to get a cake and other things too. They were very kind to do that for him. The staff were friendly and were understanding when we checked in so late. The room was very clean and the bathroom was very nice. The food was pretty good and the location was great being only a 12 minute walk from Tayrona park. Overall a great experience and I would stay again!

Loved the beauty of this place. They had several fruit trees, lots of beautiful flowers and a relaxed feel. The staff was friendly and great at sharing their knowledge of the area. Our room was great with plenty of room to be comfortable. We had a seating area and a bedroom area. The only thing was if you’re tall your legs might touch the wall while using the restroom. Otherwise our room was great! Oh, and just FYI if you can’t climb stairs this may not be the place for you. They had another stair option other than the one in the photo, but either way if you can’t really climb stairs this may not be an ideal place for you to stay. Otherwise you should definitely stay at this beautiful place!

The villa itself is lovely with mountain views and easily walkable to the Tayrona Park entrance; however, transportation itself is a challenge, even with their recommended, outside drivers. One driver, Felix was ok in bringing us to the villa but did not reply to my texts fro departure transportation. When I notified that someone else was picking us up and that he was no longer needed, he showed up and not the other driver. He canceled the other driver. We still had to take the drive since we didn't want to miss our flight and the other driver had not shown up. Walkable for the gates but difficult to get anywhere else in Tayrona.

Very noisy place, impossible to sleep. This is not a lodge in a park but a truck highway. Very slow staff, one our to get a breakfast! No bell available to move our suitcases (one left, the other doesn't come to work). Very expensive and very user unfriendly place. Parking available but not signaled

Estuve un fin de semana con mi familia en Santa Marta y este lugar fue espectacular. Desde que llegamos nos trataron con mucha amabilidad, la villa familiar muy acogedora, con una vista hermosa. Tienen un balcón chulísimo con hamacas y sillas, jacuzzi, servicio de masajes entre otras cosas. Excelente para desconectar unos días. Lo mejor de todo fue el restaurante, la comida exquisita. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.
