Finca Barlovento Maloka Tayrona

The location is beautiful and the grounds are kept impeccable. You see how much staff they dedicate to keeping the grounds well maintained. A lot of hidden gems to be discovered simply wandering around the sprawling property of Maloka Barlovento/Casa Tayrona Los Naranjos from various pools to a tiki bar that has reggae music and salsa playing. It just an amazing property. Beds are comfortable, rooms are big and well decorated with a classy rustic appearance. Ten minutes from the Tayrona Park El Zaino entrance. Staff is all incredibly kind. Dinner offerings are great. My only critique is breakfast. The coffee was below average. You come to a country like Colombia you expect great coffee to be the standard. Breakfast seems to be quantity over quality. All being said, this is an absolutely gem of a place to stay. Absolutely gorgeous. You won’t want to leave!

I spent five days at this beautiful hotel in Tayrona, Colombia, with a group of 11 friends, and honestly, it was incredible from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of. The food was amazing — every meal felt like a treat, packed with fresh flavors and made with real care. The service was top-notch too. We never had to wait or worry; the staff was always there when we needed something, without ever being intrusive. The location is absolutely stunning. You’re surrounded by lush greenery and the beach is just a short walk away. It feels like a perfect escape into nature. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, blending this cozy, rustic vibe with modern touches that made it feel like home. But what truly made this place special was the staff. Erica, Lina, and Lusiana were amazing — they treated us like family. They’re the kind of people who clearly love what they do, and it shows in everything from the way they greeted us each morning to how they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. It’s rare to find a place that feels this welcoming and genuine. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to relax with incredible people and unforgettable views, this is it. Highly recommend!

Lovely hotel with stunning views of the river and beach from the restaurant bar area. Food is high quality and good value. Staff and service was great, nothing was a problem. Special mention of Erica who really knew how to look after the guests. Good location for Tayrona, only negative is that you need a car or taxi to go anywhere else.
