the view from the terras the location in the middle of town quiet at night good breakfast and friendly service comfortable bed beautiful hotel

Evelien Aruba

what a wonderful guest house this was! owned and run with meticulous care, great location off the main square, quirky decor, comfortable bed, spotlessly clean. The owners who built the house and live on site with their little girl, are so friendly and interesting, it felt like we were staying at a friends house. Jerico was so worth visiting! Full of character and tons of amazing locally made things to buy. We loved it here!!!

This hotel is located centrally very close to the town square, and all the restaurants/shops are within walking distance. The hotel is unassuming on the outside but is amazingly beautiful on the inside with so many details, and an amazing view from the terrace, along with a hot tub jacuzzi. I wish I could have stayed another night but it made an excellent rest stop for 1 night, with late check out at 12 allowed us to browse around town for quite a while. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Historic ambience. Very well maintained. Helpful staff. When our reserved taxi did not arrive for our return trip to Medellin the proprietor went personally to the transportation office to rectify the situation and we were soon on our way.

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.
