Good location, easy to reach El Zaino and Calabazo entrances by bus. The beds were comfortable and breakfast was great - eggs, fresh fruit and delicious coffee every morning. The private pool is nice to chill in, and the views from the room were gorgeous - misty mountains and beautiful flowers. The host was super friendly and very helpful - we would definitely stay again.
Located five minutes away from Tayrona Park main entrance. Senda Koguiwa provides accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking and an outdoor swimming pool.

Beautiful resort in the middle of the jungle. Great pool, clean and fresh. We also enjoyed swimming in the nearby river.
Great location, just a 5-minute walk to Tayrona Park.
Restaurant food was generally good, we particularly enjoyed the fish ceviche.
Service was very pleasant.
There were no mosquitoes which is a positive surprise comparing to other places in the area.

The Ecohabs was great! It was very quiet and relaxing. The cabin we had was clean and had air-conditioning, which was great given the temperatures outside. The staff was very friendly, though speaking Spanish helps. We ate at the restaurant most evenings and the food was very good. It was best to pre-order either in the morning or a couple of hours before. The manager had arrange a taxi from Santa Marta airport as well as the pass to the park for us and everything went smooth.
We went to the national park beaches and it was a short bus ride and then a walk (maybe 30-45ins) through the forest with great views of the coast. There were closer beaches in the park but the combination of walk and then swim and lunch at the local huts was more appealing. Ecohabs are 15min by foot from the park entrance. From there we also took a very frequent bus service to Palomino, a town/beach, which is worth a visit. Its a lively place with a lot of backpacker hostels, restaurants and the beach had some nice waves.
The manager of Ecohabs also arranged for a local guide, who lives in the park, for a guided, all day walk through the park and forest. This was somewhat strenuous, given the heat and humidity, but we were able to basically walk through the middle of the forest, see some ancient ruins, spiritual places of the indigenous people, wildlife, and finished at a fantastic viewpoint. The guide was very knowledgable with a lot of personal experiences in the park. Despite the physical excertion this our highlight.

The Bungalows with our private pools among the nature was unexpected. The calm and energy you can receive from the jungle is priceless. Also, breakfast with views was sublime. You could enjoy it with pool views and ask for a large variety of options.

We reserved two nights but couldn't make it for the first due to a family emergency. Despite explaining, they said there were no options. After a phone call, someone promised to find a solution, but no one remembers the conversation. The location is terrible, far from the nicer beaches in Tayrona. Overpriced food; 40 meters away, you can get better food and an amazing view for the same price. WiFi doesn't work properly, but surprisingly, 40 meters away, it works perfectly. If you seek cheap accommodation, welcome, but don't expect anything more.

The location in the park was second to none.
The location in the park was second to none. The walks were excellent. The accommodation was lacking. We did a 12k walk to another beach which was lovely but I was informed there weren’t many other trails - that would be a shame if true.

we hike tayrona park, if you want to hike go to Calabazo to avoid the crowds at the main entrance! (note many hotels don't have much parking, use the bus or taxi! easy!) you will pay 5000 cops for the entrance then you can take a motor bike ride for around 50000 cop to save you 2 hours to the split at San jose and brava playa. The entrance to the park is around 85000 per person but you can stay over night. Get there early if you need a tent otherwise you will be stuck with a hammock at around 40000 cop. The food is costly I heard, but keep in mind they have to haul stuff in which is costly. Especially to the top of the mountain! We climbed and climbed then at the top there are places to grab a bite to eat, bring some money to buy some food and goods. Then its down and down to the point your toe nails hurt. Then the beach appears around 3 hours afterwards. Do stop off at the lookout at the top its amazing! The beaches are too rough to swim. The undertow is huge. So do beware. We've seen a couple of people having some problems getting out as waves will sweep you back into the current... You can get to beach to beach via trails easily. But, keep in mind its around a 2 hour walk to the parking lot. There are horses, we used them near the end after walking a good 6hours. Then we took the bus. The horse ride will cost you around 40000 cop and the bus around 5000 cop. To take the bus from santa marta which runs early morning till around 7pm night will cost you around 12000 cop I heard. Lots of hostels and hotels around which are nice. Plus lots of places to sleep. Keep in mind parking is very very limited as you are on a highway and hotels on a hillside.

It was nice to take the time to explore around, crois the river on an hanging bridge and climb up to VALLEYS VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT. Go to Mandewaka beach by local bus.
People around this area are very kind, and the view from Tayrona Angel Lodge was beautiful from our balcony and the pool was a plus. The owner Paola is very sweet and helpful.

Beautiful area near the Tayrona National Park and many rivers. You still have to walk or take a bus/taxi to the Tayrona National Park to hike into the park and the beaches, so plan in advance! You can also go to one of the rivers (such as the Buritaca river) to do some 'tubing' which is a lot of fun. But, you have to reserve and plan this activity in advance. Overall, staying at El Zaino is a lovely, cheap place to be very near the amazing natural wonders the Tayrona National Park area has to offer.

El Zainio is for the more adventurous traveller as Parque Tayrona requires some hiking to get to swimmable beaches. It’s very isolated, which was enjoyable for us, but may not be as enjoyable for others
