Ecolodge Bahia del Peñón

Beautiful and very peacefull.

We stayed one night as part of our Colombian trip. The place is around 10-15min journey by tuktuk from the town (about 1 hr walk but would not recommend walking as roads do not have pavements!). It is unfortunate that the road leading to the hotel is a dirt track with many holes, so it is difficult to get there by taxi (and even tuktuks are not very keen to go there). Aparat from that the place is amazing! We stayed in the apartment, and it had spectacular views on the lake and the rock! The place was clean and had everything that you might need including fully stocked minibar! You can swim in the lake and the rock is a short walk away. Remember, youll have to make your own breakfast (it does say that in the description of the room). You'll be given a couple of eggs, bread rolls and some other breads and cheese to compose your breakfast in the room. You can then have it on your little balcony with an amazing view. The place has a good wifi, and even though they dont speak English, Google translate does the job!

Beautiful place and very clean, staff very friendly

The location is awesome. You have a great view of the lake below and the Piedra de Penon towering over you. The small unit had 2 beds, a small dining table, a toaster oven, fridge and a small but complete bathroom. We were just one building over from the sauna, which we did use for about 1/2 hour. It was nice that they were able to provide dinners to prepare onsite. The road into and out of the ecolodge is a Nightmare! Once we arrived and checked in, we knew we were staying put for the night. Also, the signage is confusing getting to the registration place. You need to keep driving straight ahead, but the directions you receive from them appear to indicate that you pull up into the driveway to cabin number 9, which is Wrong! Then, turning around is also difficult, as the 'road' is really designed for traffic to go either in or out, but not to change directions at some midway point. Their information indicated that you could rent a canoe and go out on the lake, which we did not do, but which I believe would be a lot of fun if you had a couple of hours of daylight to play with. Bottom line--it's a great place and a unique location, but be prepared for a quiet time once you arrive and not to go out and come back in after your check-in.

Luis the maintenance man was really nice. The breakfast is, make it your self type of deal. There was a party in room below ours. Loud music all day and all night. Helicopters flying all day. There was not way to infoce quit hours. A terrible night!

This was an absolutely amazing property, super serene and located around a gorgeous lake! Our cabin was situated with the balcony looking onto the lake, and there was beautiful nature all around, so many birds chirping in the morning it was an absolute delight! The road getting to the property is very bumpy but there are tuk tuks located at la piedra and also at the Guatapé city that will bring you in and operate at a fixed rate so you don’t have to worry about gringo pricing :) would highly recommend!

Great lodge overlooking the rock of guatape! Highly recommend this place. You will need a rickshaw to get to town as the lodge is far down a dirt road, but the staff can arrange transport easily. The wifi is a bit slow but it is understandable as it is in a more remote location. I would definitely stay here again!
