I lived staying at this place! The staff is amazing and accommodating! We checked out two days early due to an emergency, so we thought, but they let us come back and complete our stay! Food is delicious, great drinks, nice and quiet, just everything was astounding! Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Incredible place walking distance to Tayrona. It’s a heaven on earth. The staff was super attentive, professional and warm, they made everything possible with a smile on their face at all times. The food was really good. And the views and common areas were out of this world. I would definitely stay here if you’re planning to visit Tayrona National Park.

I stayed in two different rooms two nights in a row. This review is for the first night in the bungalow rooms.
Overall an excellent and relaxing stay with top notch service.
The good: The staff is excellent. My dinner was delicious. I got a massage that was so relaxing and just what I needed. The pool is inviting. The room had a balcony at the back overlooking a stream that was super relaxing. It was so quiet and I slept like a baby.
The bad: The room had a slight moldy smell but to be expected given the humidity. They offer a welcome drink that took forever to get, but these are minor and overall no complaints.
Based on my experience, I booked another night but could only get the family room. That was a very different experience. I would not recommend the family rooms. I will review that one separately.

Best Option for a Day in Tayrona
The hotel is positioned at walking distance outside the Park of Tayrona ( Zaino entrance). It is a perfect option if you plan a day in the park and then you want to relax in the pool and eat a quality meal in the restaurants.

Un séjour mémorable
Séjour extraordinaire à Senda Koguiwa. Isolé de la route, en pleine nature et au bord du Rio, le charme, la beauté du lieu et le soin apporté à la décoration créent une ambiance magique, unique.
La gastronomie y est très bonne.
Le service très attentionné.

De los mejores lugares que uno puede visitar en el mundo, una paz una tranquilidad una atención increíble de parte de todos los trabajadores. Una comida muy rica, el río espectacular. El sector como tal muy chèvre y muy cerca del parque tayrona. la piscina es fenomenal también. Santiago, Luis, y katty nos atendieron muy bien igual que el resto del personal.

El hotel esta cerca de la entrada del Parque Tayrona, lo cual fue perfecto para llegar después un largo día de caminata dentro del Parque. Las habitaciones muy completas con su terraza privada. La comida muy rica. Acceso directo al rio lo cual es bien lindo.
Muchos niños en la piscina gritando lo cual quitó un poco la tranquilidad que estábamos buscando nosotros.
