Hôtels à Minca

Points positifs: La localisation de l’endroit perdu au milieu de la forêt : tellement dépaysant ! La personne de l’accueil qui parle français ( c’est rare en Colombie :p ) L’espace bar au top

Points négatifs: La piscine était en construction du coup cela gâche un peu le cadre et un peu de bruit à cause de cela

Points positifs: - chilled atmosphere - good food (always only two options, but good food)

Points négatifs: - humidity in our room - missing wifi - hard to get there

Points positifs: The staff were super friendly, it was still stunning despite the building works. The pool should now be finished which will make it 100x better! The hot showers are amazing! Especially on the evening when it gets dark and it cools down a bit.

Points négatifs: At the time they were building the infinity pool which was a shame due to all the noise and the impact it had on the scenery - advance notice of the building works would have been appreciated or a discount for having to put up with it. The bar shuts very early at like 10pm, would be nicer if it stayed up later as many people were disappointed every night when it closed.

Points positifs: The environment was amazing! The food was good, the staff always were willing to help and make us feel comfortable. The private room was clean. There is a 4X4 that can take you to santa marta when you want to leave in a very fair price.

Points négatifs: A little bit expensive but worth it!

Points positifs: The hostel is located at one of the nicest spots we have been to, if you like to have a rest in a beautiful natural athmosphere you should go there. Probably having no wifi makes it even nicer! Arturo was the best host we had, thanks and all the best!

Points positifs: Great view, nice room and good food. Relaxed atmosphere.

Points positifs: Hot showers with a view! Comfortable beds Delicious food for breakfast lunch and dinner Bring snacks though. All activities available are affordable and massage on site too! The views everywhere are stunning They are building an infinity pool to be ready in time for summer! That will be fantastic. Yoga every morning! There's even Hostel pets around both dogs and cats that are super friendly and chilled. Staff are friendly :) Definitely will return here and recommend to everyone!

Points négatifs: Nothing. everything was amazing!

Points positifs: L’emplacement est parfait avec une vue magnifique, pour avoir visiter certaines autres auberges, c’est vraiment la plus belle! Les cocktails, le fin et la nourriture sont excellents. Et la nuit dans le dortoir, bercée par les bruits de la forêt est une expérience unique!

Points négatifs: L’amabilité des proprio français qui ne disent pas bonjour et ne sourient pas, laisse à désirer...

Points positifs: Gros coup de cœur de voyage. Cadre exceptionnel, staff plus que gentil et aux petits soins. Nourriture incroyable. Dortoirs très confortables. Salles de bain et toilettes très propres. Merci casa viejas !

Points positifs: Le personnel m'a laissé faire un petit peu de cuisine, alors qu'habituellement ce n'est pas autorisé, ils proposent pdj, déjeuner et dîner. Ceci dit la nourriture semble très bonne, je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de goûter, j'ai ramené mon propre pdj. Cadre idyllique est reposant, l'hôtel est bien loti dans la montagne ! Magnifique paysage de la salle commune et très bon cours de yoga.

Points négatifs: Pas forcément la possibilité de vraiment cuisiner.

Points positifs: Emplacement idéal au milieu de la nature. L’auberge propose plusieurs activités/excursions. Les espaces communs sont très agréables. Se doucher avec vue sur la jungle est top !

Points positifs: The view, the room, the atmosphere!

Points positifs: They make me feel like home. It is a place where you could rest and connect with yourself, you will appreciate the beauty of the nature and it immense

Points positifs: The proximity to nature. Amazing views. Staff were fantastic and the social aspect - communal meals etc - was a huge draw.

Points négatifs: It is a little far (30 minute uphill tough hike) from Minca town.

Points positifs: The views from Mundo Nuevo are spectacular and the staff were very friendly. The food was also delicious with vegan options provided without any hassle. Very friendly cats and dogs also.

Points positifs: un petit coin de paradis perdu dans la jungle. lieu calme et reposant ! une balade dans la jungle le matin pour observer les oiseaux (aigles, toucans etc...) ! l’esprit de vivre en presque auto suffisance ! super endroit

Points positifs: Tout! L’emplacement est génial, le lieu est accueillant, propice aux rencontres par le sytème des repas qui sont vraiment excellents et très copieux! Franchement c’est top! Les toilettes et douches (même froide) face à un panorama splendide sont toujours un excellent moment. Pour avoir testé les 2, les hamacs sont au calme avec toutes les commodités à proximité, pareil pour les dortoirs confort, tout est équipé de moustiquaires et de casiers, et tout est propre. Il y a pleins d’endroits pour se poser en solo plus au calme si on le souhaite également. Et le must c’est le mirador pour voir un coucher de soleil splendide ! Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent pour la région et encore plus pour ce qu’on y trouve donc si vous êtes à Minca, passez par là, vous ne le regretterez pas !

Points négatifs: JUSTE UNE PETITE CHOSE. Le seul bémol reste le trajet pour y aller, le chemin est défoncé dû aux intempéries. Donc à pied c’est peu pratique, ça monte bien et c’est une petite heure avec les sacs sur le dos ( un si beau lieu ça se mérite ! ). En moto (20000 COP) c’est assez dangereux, il faut avoir un bon rythme pour être sûr de grimper donc les chutes peuvent arriver facilement et sont apparemment assez régulières. Le mieux et le plus secur’ je crois, c’est de partager un 4x4 (90000COP) pour être sûr d’arriver sans soucis à ce petit paradis

Points positifs: La sérénité des lieux, la gentillesse du personnel, l'environnement magique, les repas et jus délicieux !

Points négatifs: Rien

Points positifs: Tout. Deco. Nature. Simplicité.

Points positifs: Le lieu est formidable en pleine montagne avec une vue extraordinaire. Les repas végétariens sont tout simplement délicieux. Notre chambre était la chambre qui s'appelle Moringa excellente! Le prix en vaut la chandelle !

Points négatifs: Je pense que ce serait bien de ne pas vendre d'alcool et d'interdire toute consommation d'alcool.

Points positifs: The view is just awesome! I spent around 6-7 nights in the end. The hammocks are great! And the food!!! Delicious! Even better than the view is the staff. Alex, Jessica and the others are super fun and helpful (if you are reading this, i miss you - hugs) ! Each night we ended up chatting and laughing a lot.

Points positifs: Magnifique vue, ambiance très cool, très silencieux et en même temps très chaleureux, nous avons joué à des jeux de sociétés toute la soirée. La nourriture est juste excellente, félicitations au personnel pour ce séjour magnifique. Je le conseil à tous.

Points négatifs: Juste un peu difficil d'accès, mais cela en vaut la peine. Si vous dormez en hammac couvrez vous.

Points positifs: I met so many nice people at Mundo Nuevo that I would have loved to stay another night! The cacao tour close to the hostel was amazing and so were the other hikes. I also loved the (vegetarian) food!

Points négatifs: Difficult access. We shortened our stay in Minca as we found there was not so much to do there.

Points positifs: The rooms are beautifully nestled in the middle of a jungle on a mountain so the view is incredible. You feel like you have the entire place to yourself and everything is quite clean. The staff are helpful and courteous and their English is very good, especially for the region.

Points négatifs: 1. The restaurant isn't always open when it says it will be open. It's understandable because it is not very busy so sometimes they shut their doors but it makes planning difficult. When it is open, it's good food at a great price with an amazing view and friendly staff! 2. The Wifi doesn't reach the rooms very well. Having said that, the view is so good you don't even need wifi! 3. ECOHABS, PLEASE READ THIS!!! We asked them to book us a taxi to get back to Santa Marta. The taxi that showed up had a massive sticker/decal of a lion covering half of his front windshield. This was not a transparent decal, you could not see through it at all (I've never seen anything like this, I couldn't believe it! You could barely see anything in front of you). He then proceeded to drive very fast in the middle of a rainstorm down the mountain roads while he texted on two separate phones. This is the only major complaint I had about the place. It was incredibly dangerous and this man should never be recommended ever again.

Points positifs: The birds singing at night or in the morning (before the trucks and cars start to pass).

Points négatifs: So noisy early in the morning because you are next to the big road to Santa Marta!!! Breakfasts could be a super location if not from all the cars and trucks passing by. A half slice of bread with your eggs at breakfasts??? Really??? You better hope you don't have any neighbours when taking a double room, because you will hear everything they say and recta versa. Price/Quality I give it a zero.

Points positifs: Beautiful views towards Santa Marta. Nice breakfast. Friendly personnel.

Points négatifs: The building quality was somewhat disappointing compared to the pictures. The eco hotel feel felt halfway done with lots of concrete, single use plastic etc in use. Not up to the standards of similar style accommodation around Santa Marta and in Minca. Hotel location on the map at booking.com is wrong. It is much closer to the main road to Santa Marta. Beware of poor sound proofing between double rooms. This is applicable for the double room option. Experience may be different for the ecohabs.

Points positifs: J'ai aimé les hamacs sur le balcon et la vue sur les montagnes. J'ai églament aimé la décoration.

Points négatifs: Il y avait des lagartijas ou des lézards dans ma chambre. J'en ai vu 4 et ça m'a empêché de dormir! J'ai peur des insectes et reptiles! Le petit-déjeuner était ordinaire et la portion petite

Points positifs: Amazing view from the room, clean and comfortable room. Overall experience of ecohabs. Hammocks with the view. Cleaning everyday by housekeeping.

Points négatifs: Breakfast could be better. The restaurant attached to property is average. People working there seem nice but the quality of food is below standard for how great the property is. We had a dinner there one night and was a disappointment. Apart from the food part the whole stay is absolutely wonderful

Points positifs: The room was built with bamboo and most items in it looked locally sourced. There was a lovely balcony with hammock and we loved hearing the birds chirping and nature sounds around us.

Points négatifs: The continental breakfast was ok. We expected more options and more buffet style with tastier coffee. The fruit and arepas during breakfast were delicious though.

Points positifs: Panoramic view and birds sounds.

Points négatifs: Bed was terrible- uncofortable mattress, bended in the middle and cracking everytime you move. There is a main roud down down the hill and its noisy in the morning. Traffic sound starts together with birds every early morning. Breakfast was so so..

Points positifs: We were greeted very warmly and professionally by Andrea on our first day. She made sure we were comfortable and aware of everything we needed to know about the ecohabs and that we were in good hands. She took her time answering all our questions and was enthusiastic. Even though she's done it a bunch of times she honored our excitement and awe over the beauty. Frank was helpful in providing solid information about how to navigate the local sights, waterfalls, etc. Make sure to speak with him for local intel on what and where to do in Minca. Franklin, his able cohort, was kind and gracious about making sure our visit was a great one. Staff were friendly, unpretentious and eager to share their wonderful town and facility. Some of the maintenance/facility staff seemed cold or not aware that they're part of the customer service experience. You can't go wrong staying here. It's close to town, all the activities are easily accessible and the ecohab huts are amazing and fun, fun, fun , fun. The highlight is walking to breakfast each morning along the trail thru the woods.

Points négatifs: Only three things but important to contributing to a good stay here; 1) The restaurant we had breakfast has a stunning view and vibe over the forest canopy. However, the owner blasted the TV every time we were there to eat. Ruined the vibe of calm and connecting to the lush environment which is the very reason anyone would go to this place. We asked him to turn it down and he was cool about it but not enough to remember to consider why his guests are there. Please eliminate or turn down the TV. The guests don't care to hear/see a TV. Trust me. We asked. 2) The coffee pot in the reception area never had coffee in it regardless of day or hour. Bummer when the coffee in your room is instant coffee. Remember, we're in Colombia. Decent coffee access would seem obvious. 3) Some of the maintenance/facility staff seemed cold or not aware that they're part of the customer service experience. Talk to them to let them know it's a total team effort and they're work as as important as the front facing staff. Clearly everyone works hard to make the place in the middle of the forest amazing

Points positifs: Basic breakfast with a view. Very nice staff.

Points négatifs: Thin walls, you can hear the neighbour's every word. No bathroom doors.

Points positifs: We had to book very last minute because of problems with a different hotel, but there was space and a decent view of the mountains from our room. Cute little dog and kitten walking around, which I loved. The staff were friendly and helpful! Can’t complain about anything.

Points positifs: Very clean and super relaxed atmosphere

Points positifs: La vue est belle, la proximité de Minca, les petits cabanons et leur charme désuet. Le balcon avec son hamac. L’eau chaude de la douche. La gentillesse des propietaires du resto de l’hotel Rock Bike

Points négatifs: Les chambres centrales qui sont jumelées, on entend les voisins comme si ils etaient dans notre chambre, pour la salle de bain et les toilettes meme chose. Le bruit de la route est vraiment présent dans ces chambres, nous avons changé pour une autre apres qui etait elle beaucoup plus calme sans voisin direct.

Points positifs: Nice green views. Girls at the kitchen and reception were friendly.

Points négatifs: There are several dogs walking around the hostel, they peed inside the common space and smell like wet, dirty dogs. They also lay on the sofa in the chill area, so we avoided that. However the room wasn't much better. It was humid and noisy. The mattress had huge holes in it, when you lay on your side you automatically roll into the hole. There was one blanket that was single size, while we were in two.. Found a hair in the breakfast, which was poor in the first place (waffles dry and hard like paper). We honestly regret having booked two nights and were excited to leave...

Points positifs: Good location close to nice food places. Cute cats hanging out in our room.

Points négatifs: Damp mouldy smelling room with a very old and uncomfortable bed / thin mattress, the sheets and pillows smelt terrible like mould so much that we had to lay down our own towels over them to sleep without so much of the smell. There was no wall to the outside but no view either as we were basement level tucked under the building so it wasn’t a nice jungle view as pictured, and gave free access to bugs through the slightly too small mosquito net. Plus we felt a bit unsafe being at ground level with no external wall as anyone could wander in at night (the dogs seemed to bark at unknown threats all night) and it meant our belongings weren’t secure during the day while we were out. The bathroom was also outside but not in a chic way - just a curtain separating you from the outside world and an ICE COLD shower. Because it was outside the toilet paper was always very damp and unpleasant. We also read that other rooms had warm showers so it sucks that they’re inconsistent and that a private room got the cold one, we avoided showering after the first awful experience. We could never find staff when we needed them, asked one staff member about a taxi and she said she’d get back to us to confirm but didn’t all day and there was no one at reception so we had to find alternative transportation (this ended up better as the hostel had quoted quite a high price anyway). No one speaks English in the staff which is our problem not theirs but good to know ahead of time. Long walk up a lot of steps etc to get there from the road, fine for us but should be mentioned in the listing in case someone isn’t as mobile (it was quite hard with big backpacks too). We loved having the cats creep in to our room constantly but I’d imagine other people wouldn’t love that. Not good value for money at all compared to other places we’ve stayed.

Points positifs: Si vous êtes dans une chambre du haut la vue est vraiment sympa de nuit comme de jour On peut se poser boire une bière dans le grand filet avec vue sur la ville de nuit

Points négatifs: La réalité est très loin des photos affichées, tout est plus ou moins miteux, la chambre était glauque, vieille et poussièreuse Mais le pire était la salle de bain, eau froide ok mais avec de grand jours dans la douche de sorte qu'un des balcons de lhostel plus haut avait vu direct sur la personne se douchant. Salle de bain glauque également, sale, humide, pas de lumière et le pire pas de chasse d'eau au toilette ?! A côté de ça lhostel est en plein centre MAIS il ya énormément de marches à monter, genre vraiment beaucoup, et c'est encore pire si vous êtes dans une des chambres du haut, ce qui sera probablement le cas...

Points positifs: Nothing

Points négatifs: We were not expecting a 5-star hotel but what we found was really not acceptable. Rooms are dark, small and very smelly due to the high humidity of the zone. Not clean enough, hot water was available only in a few rooms and the hostel felt quite abandoned to itself while we were there. Unpleasant stay, I would definitely look for something else in Minca at the same price.

Points négatifs: Nice place just uninterested staff and breakfast wasn't like the photo

Points positifs: excellent breakfast

Points négatifs: door to the bathroom would not close

Points positifs: Amazing location and big hammock for guests to chill

Points négatifs: No english speaking staff

Points positifs: Nous avons aimé le lieu le charme de la cabane et la vue !

Points négatifs: Nous n’avons pas aimé les trous dans la moustiquaire

Points positifs: Girls working there were really nice and helpful. I loved the location and the view from above. Good value for the price :)

Points positifs: Trés charmant et dépaysant. Vue magnifique. Les enfants ont adoré les hamacs, le "côté cabane" avec vue sur l'exterieure.

Points négatifs: Par contre pas de fermeture possible de l'interieur. Equipement cuisine sommaire.

Points positifs: Très bel emplacement, belle vue et cuisine extérieure top. Petits dej très bien et gentillesse du personnel ++

Points négatifs: Les dortoirs sont à éviter pendant la saison des pluies, ils sont très humides. Une fuite aux toilettes = salle de bains pataugeoire

Points positifs: It's very reasonably priced, wifi was strong and breakfast included!

Points négatifs: The hostel was a bit empty and our room was very dark-ish, had little air circulation...
