This resort benefits from its prime location. A short walk leads directly to tayrona park. the pool area provided a serene environment. i found plenty of comfortable loungers and fine gardens. the staff demonstrated really good hospitality.

i noticed that the kitchen closes relatively early. this limited options for late evening dining, a minor inconvenience. i would like more extended service hours to cater to different schedules.

park entrancebroken blindsuncomfortable beds

the location is near tayrona park entrance, about 10 minutes by foot, a plus.

The room had only mosquito nets instead of windows, some blinds were broken. These allowed warm air inside, so the air conditioning did not cool the room well. bed sheets were low quality. the beds were also uncomfortable, made sleep difficult.
