Casa Xué - Alma Lodge

Sandra, our host, was the best. We loved her, she was so kind and lovely, and made the best food around. The hotel itself was nice and had very good amenities, but unfortunately it wasn't well maintained. There was no hot water, like in most places around, so the jacuzzi was cold too. It's a few minutes' walk uphill from the main road.

Tayrona park is only a few minutes away by bus, and we were really happy with our stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the service was great. The place has a lovely jungle feel and a beautiful setting. We also enjoyed the home-cooked food, like fried fish with plantain, grilled chicken breast, and shrimp. I even had a lovely outdoor massage with a great view.

I had a bad experience here. I left my belongings at the hotel while I went to the beach for a few hours, trusting they would be safe. When I came back, some things were gone, including my Airpods Pro 2, swimsuit, and clothes. We concluded that a woman working at the property had taken them to her home in a nearby town, because the headphones were tracked there.

A peaceful little spot for couples looking for a quiet break, with Tayrona National Park nearby and the beach a short walk away. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the food was delicious. There were a few small ants in our room and no hot water, but those were minor things during an otherwise wonderful stay. Highly recommended!
