The heartwarming welcome that the entire team gave to my partner and me. This attitude continued during our entire stay and I can't stress enough how much we appreciated their genuine interest and care for our wellbeing and for providing us with a truly unforgettable stay. Diana and her colleagues are incredible people and I sincerely hope that we will have the opportunity to visit their extraordinary hotel again one day. The place is an oasis of hospitality, our room was spacious, impeccably clean and comfortable with a great private shower and an incredible bed. The food that the restaurant offers is very tasty and carefully prepared. I loved every single second of our 3 days stay!

Sometimes you come to a place and you feel connection right away. Right from the long stair walk and a wooden bridge you realize that this people love their place and the nature around it. They really put their hearts in what they are doing. The place is lost in the mountain. For me was very impacting that the houses to sleep are built by 3 brothers with their own hands using nature friendly technology meaning no trees cutted only fallen woods and vines, they conserved true Cogui architecture that makes your stay really magical. Houses are comfortable with private bathroom each. Surprisingly No mosquitos in the room. Wild animals are your neighbors sometimes they show up, we managed to see fox, sloth, monkeys and we hear the roar from the jungle from time to time=). My family felt very welcomed here (my mother and 2 children). We ended up staying for 4 days and children had lots of fun exploring the nature and learning about Tayronas culture and see real artifacts the owners keep. The food is freshly cooked very tasty ... papaya right from the tree absolutely organic, water from the mountain stream that is portable. You feel very peaceful in this place. This is the perfect place to connect with the nature and enjoy the Tayrona park long walks. Location is close to the park ticket office. Down the mountain you have a small bus 5000COP that brings you to the walking tracks entrance ("Parqueadero" for vans and horses=) and a wild beach that is relatively in a short walking distance, very beautiful. We are happy we met this nice hosts who managed to pass us a spirit of their land and Tayrona culture. For us it was a great experience!

What Naydu and and her family established in this remote place is just incredible. The hard work, skills and dedication that go into bringing that kind of comfort into this quiet remote location cannot be overstated. The rooms are simple but very well constructed and I slept like a baby. Even though the first night we were subjected to quite a strong storm hitting the coast. The hearty and diligent service they provide from the delicious meals to logistical help and anything one might need is beyond words. Truly a pearl in this most beautiful part of the world. Greetings and much love to Naydu and her family who made me feel at home from day one up to being dropped off safely on a public bus to continue my journey.

Blue dot is not just a hostel. Its a magical place, where you instantly feel at home, surrounded by forest everywhere you look. There is an incredible river 5 min from the hostel to refresh and connect with nature. Delicious vegan food made with love, dogs to cuddle and super comfy beds. Its an adventure to get there, but totally worth it!

The house is located a reasonable walking distance from the road where the buses run and about ten minutes from the entrance to Tayrona Park. The house is located in a very quiet area, ideal for resting with a beautiful garden and hammocks available. The room and the house in general were very clean. The bedding was very comfortable (mattress much less firm than what you can usually find in Colombia). We did not meet the host but Rafael who welcomed us was very pleasant and available
