I stayed at the Merecumbe Hotel for two nights and absolutely wished I could have stayed longer! Time does seem to slow down at Merecumbe and I felt like I was able to completely relax during my time there. The owners were incredibly welcoming and gave our stay a personal touch. I love that it's a family run business and... More

This was one of the best destinations I've been to in Colombia. This family-run business is charming from the sweet 1:1 service upon arrival to the big hug from the owner at the end of our stay. Everything was EASY - easy to get there from Santa Marta airport, easy to relax in their hammocks, easy to shower in their... More

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days, we just loved this hotel. Starting with the lovely rooms, perfect bed, pillows, cleanness everywhere, and the particular design in different kinds of wood of every little element there. The family who own the hotel: Camila the chef, Andrea and Edgar the owners, and Samuel the funny waiter made our stay... More

Near Santa Marta Colombia there are many big hotels and Eco hotels but this one has a bit of both- we loved it. The family have built around ten big round thatched-roofed cabins each with an outside bathroom - the father is some kind if industrial designer so literally everything from the locks to the lamps is lovingly designed in...

It's not so often one finds a family run hotel in which the owners and children interact with clients and demonstrate openly so much passion for their life project. The hotel has amazing landscaping in front of a wild, untamed beach. The beach is not for swimming due to strong waves and currents. That was the only let down. If... More

Amazing rooms, amazing setting! A lovely experience overall! The food is very good (but european-asian orientation, lacking of local cuisine) but everything is produced with local products. The rooms are perfectly clean, and so beautiful you dont want to leave them! The beach is beautiful and the hammocks so comfortable you can stay there all day! I would definitely recommend... More

FANTASTIC. That would have to be the word I would use to describe this jewel amongst the sand and palms along the Colombian coastline. I went searching for a nice quiet place for my gf and I to chill out (swing in a hammock, enjoy the sun and beach, get a massage, read a book etc.). Merecumbe hotel is just... More

This is a beautiful setting where you can spend days doing nothing. The worst part is having to leave. The hotel was built by the family that owns it. Accommodation is in large, clean, well-equipped beautifully made cabins, all within a few tens of meters of the beach. The owners and staff (some of whom speak excellent English) are extremely...

Expectaions were greatly exceeded as Camilla and her family made us feel as though we were not only guest but family memebers ourselves.. If you are looking to visit Tayrona this is a much better option then staying in Santa Marta or the Eco-hostel inside the Park as you are only ten minutes from the park. The gourmet meals and...

One of the best places to stay in this area. Very surprised to find the restaurant a gem in the jungle. If you know this area, its very hard to find a 5 star restaurant. Keep up the good work. Tom & Tita
