We loved our stay at Casablanca Tayrona. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The gardens were beautiful and the pools were perfect for a dip on a hot day. Breakfast was great with a variety of choices. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was all freshly prepared and reasonably priced. Wish we’d stayed longer!

Ideally located for the Calabazo entrance of Tayrona park. Good food at the restaurant.

We had a wonderfully relaxing few days at this stunning property in the jungle - Thomas and his team are super friendly and we really enjoyed our stay.

The staff here are really lovely and attentive and the breakfast was great as well as free cocktails, the garden around has so much potential as does the resort but the disrepair and cleanliness really let it down, we were disappointed considering the other reviews, also the large pool was under maintenance and we weren’t told when we booked.

Arriving at the beautiful cabins on the beach after a long day walking.

It’s hard not to oversell this place as it’s so fantastic. If you want to pretend you’re Robinson Crusoe, stranded on one of the most beautiful beaches in Tayrona, this is the place. I picked this place because I wanted a swimmable beach inside the park. I didn’t want to have to walk to Cabo San Juan, which I’d heard is full of backpackers taking selfies. I wanted to step out of my room and into the sea. And that’s what I got here. Every morning I got a coffee from the bar (always a full urn freshly brewed) and enjoyed it on some driftwood on the beach, before taking a dip. Usually Tinto, the resident doggy, would sit with me watch the waves. Things to do: relax in the beach, relax on a swing on the beach, relax in one of the daybeds on the beach, relax with a cocktail on some cushions on the beach, relax in your room. Read, swim, sunbathe, watch the birds, play with the cats. This place isn’t a Maldives resort where they remove bugs from the sand using tweezers and a haute cuisine dinner is served every night. Amongst the makeshift luxury, it’s still basic. (However, the food is hearty and plentiful.) And that’s what makes it so unique. You’re really in nature. There’s lizards and crabs crawling about everywhere (the bugs are there too but they’re not nearly as bad as some of the reviews suggest). Every so often a great wave of insect or lizard song (I could never work out what it was) drowns out the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, and then dies down 10 seconds later. Take a kayak out into the bay. The water is calm and it’s an easy little paddle. Then just sit there and watch the birds, take in the view of the jungle towering over the beach, or enjoy the show the sunset puts on every night. If you’re really lucky you’ll get a thunderstorm as you climb into bed. And the staff are just lovely. A real gang of castaways keeping the place in running order.

This is an amazing and stylish new property, well located in close proximity to Parque Tayrona and the beach at Mendihuaca. It is spacious enough for a large family and has a great kiosk and bbq area. The grounds are lush and well kept as the rest of the property. We felt so welcome by the owners on arrival and the property keepers Luz and Yair looked after us very well throughout our stay and took us on a day trip to the nearby river and made the most delicious sancocho on site. Would definitively recommend a stay here in this family and dog friendly property.

The host (Paola) was amazing, she was in contact and available from before we arrived to the moment we left. She is super friendly and helpful, she organised a moto taxi for us to Tayrona Park and suggested/ordered burgers from a great restaurant near by. She went above and beyond when one of us fell sick, making herbal teas and offering to go to the pharmacist to get medicine. 3 friendly dogs, 3 friendly cats and unlimited mangos to eat from the trees. The room was clean and comfortable and we would recommend anyone to stay here

The room was clean and equipped with a mosquito net. You can storage your luggage for free while staying the night at Tayrona.
