    It was VERY loud at night. We stayed Friday - Sun and the music went on until 1am or 4am, it was not possible to sleep. Take ear plugs and it would be OK.

    It’s a really nice property in a great location. Staff are great and it has amazing views

    We were a bit unlucky as the A/C didn't work at least 50% of the time of our stay of 5 nights. It worked during the day when we weren't there, and it didn't work at night when we were there. Unfortunate. They fixed it at some point. Shower: no hot water. Not really a huge problem since its always refreshing after a day under the sun. Major problem: We were unlucky because it was the Colombian holidays so people were partying very late every night. The location is 5 minutes away from the bars and clubs, and you can hear very very loud music everyday until 4am. The cabin is made of wood and not at all soundproof. We could hear the music even with earplugs.

    Staff was very nice, always happy to help. Breakfast was always good. They were able to accommodate for the parking of our motorbike. The view is also very nice.

    The first night the water and air conditioning didn’t work because they had forgotten to activate the water for our cabin. There was also a dead lizard in the room.

    Very flexible with check-in/check-out. They allowed us late for both.

    They should have notified that they would not serve breakfast on the 1st of January nor have anyone working during the night. Also the key they handed us to get into the hotel wasn't the right one and we had to stay outside and wait for anyone to arrive.

    Very beautiful view from the terass. Kind staff. Nice rooms. Good location.

    Very noisy, our cabin was very close to the busy car road so try to ask for a cabin that's a bit further up the mountain. Another very noisy thing was that, even though the hotel is very far from the bars at the beach, there was a lot of noise from the 24/7 parties going on down there, sometimes as loud as if the bar was right next to us. I guess the bay area and mountains kind of function as a speaker.. Also there's only stairs to get to the cabin though that's just good exercise ;)

    Amazing view and super friendly and helpful staff. They only speak Spanish but we were able to communicate with a translate app. View was stunning and cabins very clean! Breakfast was also delicious. Beds were also very comfortable.

    The rooms closer to the road might be a bit noisy. We were up high, so no problem for us.

    Wonderful view of the bay. Breakfast was good; fruit, juice, coffee, arepas (or other choices) Staff was very friendly and helpful. They did our laundry upon request and were very attentive, friendly. Rooms were rustic, clean and roomy enough for two. five minute walk downhill to town and tons of restaurants. Would definitely stay again if we go back to Taganga.

    We came during Christmas and Taganga was very noisy because of parties. But that's probably everywhere in Colombia at this time.

    Very nice bungalows with Aircon with view over taganga. About 5 min walk to town center . The personal was super friendly (Vanessa, Daira) and breakfast fresh fruits with great view. We extended our stay because there is so much to do (many diving centers). Reception is available 24/7.

    Noise and no refrigerator.

    I think it is overpriced. The cabin needs a refrigerator or at least the reception area should offer water, beer, and snacks for sale. The view is spectacular. Breakfast should be offered at 6:30 am or provide a coffee maker in the room. There is no place to hang clothes. Not even a hanger.A/C hardly cools the cabin. It is very humid and hot. It felt like 85 degrees even at night with A/C on. Liked the balcony overlooking street that was outfitted with a hammock, table and chair. Cabin needs a bedside table with table lamp. A two minute walk down steep stairs or can walk on road to village to beach. Since the water is not potable from the tap, a bottle of water in the room upon arrival would have been nice. Also have night security guard. Towels and sheets were spotless and relatively new. Safe worked well. Noise, noise, noise (incredibly loud music) can be heard from the beach beginning around 10 am until wee hours of the morning. If u don't have really good earplugs u probably will not get much sleep . Next to this hotel is a hostel that also plays incredibly loud music- it's a cultural thing, they aren't concerned about the comfort of the neighbors , only themselves.

    Very loud during the night, music till 5 am in the morning. Cabins not isolated, very basic, no warm water. You pay too much for what you get. The staff only speaks spanish, we are used to it but normally it's possible to talk with hand and feed and it works out. The staff in this hotel is very shy and only communicates with Googletranslater. We left after one night, had to pay for both nights we booked.. not even a discount. The staff only said, that they always have problem with noice. So maybe we went there at the wrong time in off season.

    Nice View from the Balkony :) A/C

    Because of the location, there is always a very strong wind that shakes the whole bungalow and doesn't let you sleep during the night. You can also hear the music from the town very clearly until 3/4am each day The bathroom and bedroom aren't separated well, so you don't really have privacy

    The view is amazing Tasty and simple breakfast Good price
