What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Surfing Paradise

The surfing conditions at Casa Grande were absolutely fantastic! The waves were perfect for both beginners and experienced surfers, and I loved waking up just steps away from the beach. It felt like my own slice of paradise. I had a great lesson with John from the surf school on-site, and it boosted my confidence immensely!

Delicious Local Cuisine

I was delighted with the variety of food options at the restaurant. The fish soup was a standout dish for only 10,000 COP, and every meal I had was delicious. The atmosphere was perfect for enjoying meals with new friends after a day at the beach. Overall, it really complemented my stay!

Unique Camping Experience

I had an very nice experience camping at Casa Grande! The tent spots were well-maintained, and I appreciated the clean and functional shared bathroom facilities. The entire area felt spacious and welcoming. It was amazing to be so close to nature while still having access to essential amenities.

Relaxation and Fun

The overall ambiance at Casa Grande was delightfully laid-back. I found plenty of opportunities for relaxation, from lounging on the pristine beach to socializing around the bar in the evenings. The entire vibe was just perfect, creating a tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere that I truly enjoyed.

I found this hostel to be quite disappointing, especially given the high price. The staff seemed nice but didn’t help with the issues we faced. The hut had serious pest problems, and the overall condition left much to be desired. However, the dinner was good, though the overall dining experience and limited food options were frustrating.

Rooms

The hut we stayed in was extremely minimal and had an uncomfortable mattress. Ants were everywhere on the bed, which made it hard to relax.

Service

While the staff was pleasant, they showed little interest in resolving our issues, only offering help after we had already dealt with the ant problem ourselves.

Location

The hostel is very remote, which means limited food options nearby. The view of the surrounding area was not pleasant due to the dirty conditions.

Dining

Dinner was enjoyable, but lunch was overpriced and not edible. Overall, I felt we spent way too much on food considering the quality.

Facilities

CasaGrande has a beautiful beach and offers a great vibe, but our experience was less than ideal. The rooms were small and not very clean, and the shared bathroom facilities could use significant improvement. While the food was decent, the long wait times and inconsistent service left us wanting more. On the positive side, it’s a hidden gem away from the crowds, perfect for a peaceful getaway.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location offers a nice vibe, and the surfboards were available for rent right in front of the cabins, which was fantastic. However, the noise level from a party was overwhelming, and the food prices were really high for what was served. Overall, it was enjoyable but not without its hiccups.

Rooms

We stayed in a cabin that was cozy for two but felt cramped with three. It was decent but could use more space and comfort.

6.8/10

I discovered a true gem at Casa Grande, located just outside Parque Tayrona. The beach is absolutely stunning and felt almost deserted during my weekday visit, allowing for a perfect day of relaxation. However, the service left much to be desired; long waits for food and staff that could be more attentive dampened the experience a bit. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet beach spot and can overlook some service flaws, this place is worth a visit.

Rooms

6.0

The accommodations include basic tent camping and small cottages. Unfortunately, I didn't stay overnight, but I did see some huts that seemed very minimal.
