"Deze locatie is geschikt wanneer je een echte basic ervaring wilt. Breng zeker ook je eigen eten mee en wel alvorens je naar de locatie toegaat. De weg 7 km er naartoe is bijna onbegaanbaar voor normale auto's. bij aankomst was onze boeking onbekend. De kamer had geen airco of enige bescherming tegen ongedierte door de deuren of ramen heen. En we hadden geen stromend water. Het winkeltje heeft nauwelijks assortiment en het restaurant nauwelijks hygiëne en smakelijk eten"

"Hotel bei Ebookers war bezahlt. Und bei Unterkunft musste ich nochmals 228 000 kolumbianischer Peso bezahlen. Ich dachte das ist Kaution. Wie ich feststelle. Habe ich nun dieses schlechte Hotel doppelt bezahlt. Nun habe ich eine Buchung in einem anderem Hotel. Wieder über Ebookers. Und die wollen nun auch wieder Geld. Obwohl bezahlt.. funktioniert ebookers nicht. Oder machen das die Hotels in Kolumbien so. Fühle mich nun betrogen und hätte gerne das Geld zurück."

"Conveniently located, this property is run by Lucie, a French woman caring and fluent in English and Spanish. She runs the place in a warm way making it cozy and nice to be in. She cooks delicously as well. There are two calm and nice dogs that run freely. It is all a soothing environment. She arranges for transportation and gives u tips. Rooms and pretty, with AC. I spent almost a week in Divanga using it as base and the plays draws relaxed travellers fun to talk to. Super recommended. "

Top Playa Brava Hotel Reviews

Casa Eco | Private Apartment In Taganga | 600 Meters away from beach

10/10 Excellent

"Es excelente para viajar en grupo o familia, precioso lugar. Se siente como estar en casa . Cómodo."

Hotel La Casablanca Tayrona

10/10 Excellent

"I am so glad I chose this hotel; it was the perfect home base for my trip. I spent half my time exploring the north and the other half in the city center, and this location made navigating both areas seamless. The front desk team was incredible, taking all the stress out of my logistics by coordinating my transportation perfectly. Beyond the convenience, the hotel itself is beautiful. My room was spacious and very comfortable, and the food at the on-site restaurant—both for breakfast and dinner—was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!"

Vito Hotel Boutique Taganga

10/10 Excellent

"100 % recomendado, la atención de Laura es de otro nivel y te hace sentir como en casa. Está a unos 5-7 min caminando de la playa principal y los desayunos son deliciosos! Muy linda la habitación y cómoda, tienes una terraza por si quieres ver el atardecer y ofrecen almuerzos y cenas también. Volvería siempre! Gracias!"
