We had a great stay at Yachay. The staff is very caring. The food at the restaurant is absolutely delicious. The hotel is surrounded by nature and therefore very relaxing. I wished there was a larger pool but we appreciated the jacuzzi and made good use of it. The hotel is very close to the entrance of the park but has some steep stairs, therefore not for people with mobility issues. You have to get tickets for the park as the hotel is inside the park. Entrance to the park is only until 3 pm so you need to plan for that. The room we got was nice, there is no TV, but not a big deal for us. A/C worked fine except for one night when it turned off due to issues with the power grid in general, it went back up eventually. The room was cool enough with open windows alone though. Bed was confortable and the room was very clean. We had a car and were able to park in the hotel and just drive to the beginning of the trail to the beach in early morning which was very convenient. I would definitely come back when visiting Parque Tayrona.

Awesome place

The grounds are so pretty. Service was great. AC worked just fine. Included breakfast portion are slightly on the small end, but not too small. My only downside is during check-in the receptionist forgot to exclude the Iva tax from the bill. Foreigners are waved the Iva tax if they present their passports. She removed it once I made a comment. This could have been a simple Overlook on the receptionist part, but I've been in Columbia many times and I know that these Gringo fees are typically not added by accident. So just be aware and double check before you pay.

Great adventure

We had an amazing experience inside the park. The service here is great and the food is deserving of a Michelin star. A great place to book if you are looking for adventure. The hotel is located inside the park, givibg you access to the trail head befor the crowds.

Beautiful relaxation

Beautiful location and view. Much more ideal to have a private bathroom than use the shared, as natures night friends are out lurking. Food is actually good! You can order lunch bags for if you go spend the day hiking in Tayrona (not worth it- plus food available out on the beach). Fan is a bit loud but necessary. I also wish they had more hammocks out

This is a beautiful hotel in the Tayrona Park. The walk up the terrace is covered with flowers and plants. The food is wonderful and the staff take care of you. You are higher up and experience lovely breezes. If I were to come again I would stay all of the nights at Yachay!

Unique lodging in Tayrona NNP

The location of the hotel, in Tayrona park is the huge attraction of the place. It's situated in the trees on a hilltop with nice landscape care. The staff was extremely conscientious and helpful. The food in the restaurant was great.
The shared bath rooms are quite small with overly firm beds. There is no privacy as anyone can walk past your window. The showers (two for men, two for women) are in a separate hut. One shower head was bad, the other worse. No mirror or plugs (power) at the sinks. No hot water, but the weather was so hot, the briskness was okay.
So if you are okay with quite rustic lodging, the location, service, and food are great.

Great hotel!

Great stay. The staff and food were wonderful. The room was a little small, but it was what we expected for four people. The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. You can walk to the hotel from the entrance of the park and take a short shuttle to the beginning of the trails.
