"I stayed at RCH with my husband and two young children (6 and 8 years) five nights in January 2024. Upon arrival, one of the owners Paul offered our family an upgrade for a small fee - specifically, he upgraded us to a family suite, which comprises two interconnecting rooms (each with own bathroom). This configuration was our favourite configuration in all of Colombia, as previously we had been losing sleep by sharing two double beds between the four of us (the standard family room setup in the other hotels we stayed in). Thank you Paul for thinking of us and making this happen. Rooms - we were in interconnecting suites 3 and 4. The rooms are thoughtfully furnished and sleep quality is high (you can hear the waves!) The beds, pillows and linen were extremely comfortable, and a mosquito need is hung around the bed in case you would like it (though we didn’t actually see any mosquitoes). The bathrooms open-air and extremely lovely. L’Occitane essentials are provided. Hot water is plumbed in (quite unusual in these parts!), including at the outdoor beach shower. Vibes and location - the location is approx. a 2.5 hour, easy drive from Santa Marta. In terms of vibes, there is a lovely pool, bar and restaurant scene overlooking the water. The beach scenario is chalk and cheese as compared with Santa Marta (where we stayed for two nights). Here, there are no nuisances such as motorised watersports, touts setting up jewellery stands in front of you, people grabbing your feet and not letting go in order to give you a massage (all happened in Santa Marta). And while I don’t want to unduly disparage Santa Marta - the beach is truly stunning and we still had an amazing time - this is a much quieter experience, with only a few others on the beach at at time, and nobody selling things. Suitability for families - absolutely yes! Bring your children here. Just happy days on the beach - and more! Children are warmly received and welcomed. In fact, Paul went out of his way to arrange a special visit from a macaw for the children at the hotel! Between the beach and pool, and types of activities on offer, our children were extremely happy and entertained. I would like to add a special note that the people who designed the menu really “get kids”, and there are many options that our kids just loved. At one point they were fighting over the pasta al horno (I think that’s what it was called! The pasta with cheese). Interestingly, I thought the hotel was still romantic and perfect for couples. Paul and Carlos are nailing it! Activities - we were truly touched by the effort Carlos went to in planning our activities. We told Paul (in the first instance, then Carlos) what our interests were, and they curated a little itinerary for us. The flamingo experience was truly world-class and I hope that this attraction will be developed sustainability if and when it becomes more popular! Fingers crossed. But pre-kids, hubby and I saw flamingoes in four countries - Chile, E"

"This hotel, which is just literally over the road to the sea sports a cozy inner yard with two swimming pools and air conditioned rooms which all have a roof terrace where you can chill out during the days or when you are not in the sea or the pool. The food is incredibly good (heads up to the chef!) and the staff is extremely friendly. There are ample opportunities for sight seeing nearby, whether in Riohacha, Manaure or Cabo de la Vela. 100% recommendation!"

"Fantastic! My 82-year-old mom and I spent 3 nights there submerged in nature. We opened our doors on both sides of our beautiful room and looked at the palms, the Caribbean Sea, enjoyed the breeze. We were welcomed by the owner and her "right hand", Juana (dressed in a colorfully tropical dress). We were introduced to the place: spacious, well-maintained land, immaculate, spacious rooms hidden in greenery, the main, social area (luxurious), and the big swimming pool (you can actually SWIM in it it is so big). We were treated by the owner, Monica, and her husband, and Juana as family. No exaggeration. We spend calm, enjoyable few days at Territorio Magico, visiting nearby flamingo reserve and chilling by the pool. This is an impeccable place with lovely, cordial people who really want you to feel at home. Thank you, Monica and Juana, Joanna and Marta"

"Great hostel with very good amenities and friendly and helpful staff."

"This is a beautiful newly refurbished hotel in a beautiful location! We stayed here for 2 nights with our 3 children. The pool and sauna are gorgeous, rooms well equipped with air conditioning and everything you need including fridges and huge TVs. Breakfast and food is amazing and the staff are super helpful and attentive. Carolina couldn’t have been more helpful. We both had couples massages which were also amazing and a must!! I was worried about the location but it’s a 10 minute walk along the beach into palomino and we walked back both nights in the dark. Beautiful hotel in great location. Would thoroughly recommend to families and couples who do not want to be too close to the party or backpacker scene. Would return here if we were coming back"

"I liked my stay at the Aite Eco Resort very much. The staff was very friendly & helpful & Elena was a great host. The garden & whole Area is very beautiful. Thanks for everything."

"Great place, very large garden, 2 pools, lots of amenities, quiet. If you look for a place with more chances to socialise and a better restaurant, this is not it: you should book a hotel or a hostel further west. But if u look for a quiet place with plenty of room to relax Chiniuu is great. We had a with a pool right in front of the door, and a large porch with a table to sit and chill or work remotely. Wifi and Restaurant are meh, the rest, considering that it is a 3 Stars, is great"

"A beautiful place on the beach with cabins that fit in with the surroundings and a building with a novel design in the shape of a beehive. For me it would have been just another hotel on the seafront, but the entrance through a mangrove on a wooden bridge was quite an experience, a walk of several meters through the mangrove and at the end you arrive at the hotel, the beach and the sea... At night it is worth walking along the mangrove path which is very well lit and enjoying the sounds and shapes of nature. The best thing is that there are no noisy neighbors for miles. The attention of Germán and his entire team was exceptional, the cuisine was delicious and the rooms were very comfortable... Definitely a place to repeat... highly recommended."

"Rooms were very clean with beautiful balcony view of the pool area, staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Recommend for those who want to relax and get away from the party music. We go every year and have stayed here since it opened 7 years ago. Breakfast was delicious."
