Finca del Tayrona La Gordita

+ - L'accueil, chambre simple et propre, - Pas de petit dej, ni dîner mais la possibilité d'utiliser la cuisine de la famille, - les conseils donnés - la proximité de l'entrée Cabalazo (2kms)

+ The owner Orna is incredibly friendly and at the same time not nosy. The pool is great, the room was fine - we shared a room with five people and it was spacious and had a dining table and a private bathroom. The location is great, close to Tayrona Park, and it is easy to get to the Park or to Santa Marta by bus. There were lots of cats (with kittens, the kids were very happy about that!) and turtles.

+ La amabilidad, facilidad para visitar el parque tayrona. La entrega de los anfitriones por hacer todo cómodo Sentir la naturaleza, con todos sus animales

- Todo excelente

+ L’emplacement, la possibilité de faire une lessive (à la main c’est gratuit)

- Dans un premier temps, la cuisine est particulièrement sale. De plus, nous avons voulons y laisser nos sacs le jour de notre départ pour visiter le parc (sachant nous y sommes restés 2 nuits et que nous lui avons gentiment offert un pancake la veille) et on nous a demandé de payer. Il faut savoir que la patronne s’est permise de manger l’un de nos plats qui était dans le frigo.

+ La propriétaire est très gentille et arrangeante

- La piscine n’est pas utilisable, très sale. Confort du lit Wifi limitée

+ Bueno muy bien todo rico I volvería a ir

- La cocina lejos y avía cucarachas gigantes pero se entiende porque es una finca

+ We shared the house with the owner, but had our own room and bathroom, so we had total privacy. The owner, Orna, is one of the most fabulous ladies I have ever met. It was lovely to talk with her and share some time, and she was also super helpful when we asked her about logistical things (how to get to Tayrona, where to order food, what bus to take to Santa Marta, tour recommendations, anything). Although the AC was a bit noisy, it worked perfectly. Also, everything was spotless in our room and bathroom. We didn't have the chance to use the pool, but it seemed incredible! Lastly, you can pay an additional fee if you want Orna to cook you breakfast, lunch, or dinner, which can be very helpful since the house is far from any town.

- The WiFi was a bit unstable, and we didn't have electricity for a brief time one evening. Still, these things are not the owner's responsibility (they depend mainly on the weather). There is no hot water, which is quite normal in the area since the weather is almost always warm and humid, hence this was not a problem for us either.

+ Extremely accommodating and friendly host (thank you Paola!) Spacious room. Comfortable beds. Air conditioning. Beautiful pool. Kitchen access. Nice setting slightly off the main road. Tasty fruit directly from the Finca. Philosophy of how the place is run (fully sustainable). Could not ask for anything more from a stay - this was the standout experience of our fortnight in Colombia. It may not be a flashy resort, but it has everything and the warmth of the host makes it. We hope to return some day!

+ Sencillamente todo fué perfecto, buscamos con mi novia un ambiente para conectar con la naturaleza y así fué, árboles de mango y mamoncillos que fuimos felices comiendo, una habitación limpia y con un buen colchón cómodo, el ambiente rodeado de árboles, perritos y gaticos amorosos, aves, burritos, todo muy lindo la verdad, Paola una excelente anfitriona que nos ayudó para guiarnos con planes como para prestarnos ayuda en la cocina, siempre nos sentimos muy bien acogidos, nos prestó nevera para guardar parte de nuestros víveres, nos encantó todo e iríamos a hospedarnos nuevamente sin dudarlo.

- Talvez que no haya una tienda cerca, pero hay domicilios tanto de comidas como de víveres en el lugar, personalmente fué mejor irnos en buseta para un supermercado, comprar todo y volver, ya que hay cocina compartida (que es una gran ventaja) y no tener que preocuparse por comprar más cosas.

+ La amabilidad de Paola

- Las instalaciones muy deterioradas y abandonadas. Alrededores feos con mal olor .

+ Paola nos atendió super desde el primer momento. Super simpática y acogedora. Lá cama era muy cômoda y dormimos muy bien. El cuarto con baño estaba perfecto.

+ Bueno que pudimos resolver la dormida

- La seguridad de la habitación deficiente

+ The host (Paola) was amazing, she was in contact and available from before we arrived to the moment we left. She is super friendly and helpful, she organised a moto taxi for us to Tayrona Park and suggested/ordered burgers from a great restaurant near by. She went above and beyond when one of us fell sick, making herbal teas and offering to go to the pharmacist to get medicine. 3 friendly dogs, 3 friendly cats and unlimited mangos to eat from the trees. The room was clean and comfortable and we would recommend anyone to stay here

- Not necessarily a bad thing but worth knowing, there are no shops and restaurants that are easily accessible within walking distance so if you plan on cooking then bring food with you

+ Finca Gordita is a delightful home run by the incredibly friendly and helpful, Juan, who made our visit memorable. We originally booked for a couple of days and then extended to a week. Great value. Our room was simple and comfortable. Juan, let us use his refrigerator and washing machine (for a small fee) and offered us lifts into Calabazo or even Santa Marta when he was going that way. With a large pool, it was a place to easily relax. It’s located about 2 km along the main highway from Calabazo and the western entrance into Tayrona National Park and it set back from the road, from which there's a little traffic noise but it's not intrusive. Staying here was a real pleasure.

+ Tutto perfetto!!❤️

+ El lugar es excelente, su ubicacion y paisajes, la pileta, la diversidad de animales, pero por sobre todas las cosas, destaco la gran atencion de sus propietarios, super atentos, los felicito!
