El Despertar is an oasis a few blocks form the main square in a quiet street. The staff is delightful and the property is beautiful. Don’t expect a 5-star hotel though, as you’re in a tiny 14,000 population remote town in Colombia. Why they shut down the restaurant for COVID, they provided vouchers for 2 great breakfast places nearby.
United States of AmericaEverything was perfect. Starting with the people. Óscar at the reception helping with all the information about Jerico. Cristobal the owner always ready to make your stay more pleasant. The rooms are fantastic, clean, amazing bedding. I’m coming back for sure.
CanadaEl despertar is a local gem, beautifully designed, perfectly located - close to the main square with spectacular views over the mountains.
United States of AmericaThe space is beautiful and rooms are very comfortable overall.
United States of AmericaEverything. The rooms were spacious and charming and clean.The beds were super comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The view was gorgeous. The jacuzzi on the deck is wonderful. And Pilar, the owner, was extremely kind and helpful. Our son was sick the entire time we were there and Pilar went out of her way to help us — she offered to help us order dinner in, she offered to set up a doctor’s appointment, she made suggestions for the pharmacy, she arranged tours for my husband and other son, etc. We could not have asked for a better experience. When we return to Jericó we will definitely stay with Pilar.
United States of AmericaBeautiful house, excelllent location , nice and helpful staff
CanadaEverything was perfect ! Location, breakfast, rooms! The hotel has a special touch, like fancy farm style I strongly recommend this hotel if you are planning to visit Jerico.
ColombiaThe hotel is very lovely. It is very well located. The staff and owner are very friendly. It has a gorgeous view of the mountains. The jacuzzi is a plus. They reserve it for each group for one hour so that no one else can use it but you or your group. The decoration is unique and very charming. The owner gives very good indication of places to visit and where to eat. Wifi is very good.
FranceFrom top to bottom service was A1. Communication was on point and timely, talking with the owners (who also live there_) and getting to know their family and history was an added bonus that rounded out our stay :)
ColombiaLots of pillows and blankets, lots of love invested in making the common spaces beautiful, glorious hosts
