Our stay at Zirwa Boutique Hotel was truly magical. Set right inside Tayrona National Park, it offers the most incredible jungle and mountain views — waking up there felt unreal.
From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. Despite our limited Spanish, the staff were warm, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.
The room was spacious, with only three rooms in the entire property, which made the experience feel intimate and exclusive. On our first night, we even had the whole hotel to ourselves! We loved the wrap-around balcony and the generously sized bathroom. As expected when staying so close to nature, there were quite a few bugs and the water pressure was limited — but this is something we’ve encountered elsewhere in Colombia and it comes with the territory.
The food was exceptional. We requested breakfast in our room so we could enjoy it from the balcony, and they happily accommodated us. Meals do take around 50 minutes to 1 hour, so I’d recommend ordering earlier than when you plan to eat — but it’s absolutely worth the wait. They also offer a flat-rate laundry service, and everything came back fresh and spotless.
Tip: If you’re planning to hike to Cabo San Juan, you can simply flag down the shuttle buses that pass right outside the hotel. They run roughly every 15 minutes, and as of December 2025, the fare was COP $6,000 per person — make sure to have exact change.
Overall, Zirwa Boutique Hotel is the perfect blend of nature
