In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Exceptional service across the board — Guests regularly single out the staff, from the front desk to the bar, for being friendly and attentive.
- Spacious, modern rooms with great views — Rooms are described as brand-new, large, and clean, with many offering balconies and ocean or city views.
- Strong dining and breakfast — The on-site restaurants, including Waku and the Tayrona lounge, earn praise for quality and variety.
- Direct beach access and multiple pools — The property offers a private beach area plus infinity, rooftop, and pool-with-view options, all well maintained.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities rating lags the rest — While service and rooms score highly, the facilities category is the lowest-rated aspect of the stay.
- No in-room mention of some expected touches — Rooms list air conditioning and balconies, but not details like minibar contents or bathrobe – fine for some, but worth checking if you expect them.
- Beach is the main draw, not the only one — If you want a more urban setting with nightlife and attractions within walking distance, this property is in a quieter residential district.
