There are not many food options and what is available isn’t good. Everything closes super early including the pool and they don’t let people on the beach after a certain time as well. No one that works there speaks English and if I didn’t have friends that spoke Spanish with me I would’ve had a much harder time.

If you’re only looking for a roof over your head, this place might be okay — but that’s about it. The food was terrible, with very limited options, and they lacked even basic necessities like coffee and water. The café only opens at 8 AM on weekends and 10 AM on weekdays, which is surprising in Colombia — a country famous for coffee. Unfortunately, the coffee here was so bad it could make you lose interest in coffee altogether. During lunch and dinner, even after asking for water multiple times, it never arrived. The beds were uncomfortable, the bathrooms were outdated, and there was no hot water for the shower. Overall, I would not return or recommend this place to family or friends.
