Ecoresort Gran Azul

We started at 5 TripAdvisor stars, but then unfortunately had to count down… -0.5: First we were in their family room, that was not a nice room, and the bunk bed was lousy. Good thing is we changed the room, and the other two rooms we got instead were very nice with a good view of the beautiful but deforested Andean foothills. -1: We ordered massage (for 3 people!) and jacuzzi for 4. When we came back from our tour, the jacuzzi was cold, and it took hours to heat it - so no jacuzzi for us. Good thing is we went next day, and the jacuzzi was ok. However, there was nearly no water in the shower (by the jacuzzi), and certainly no hot water. -0.5: We went on the trip to La Carbonera as it was heavily recommended by the staff over going to Valle de Cocora. The had warned that the trip would be tough in a Willy jeep, so we decided to go by car. This was a good decision, and the car & driver were great, but the trip took nearly 3 hours on very bad roads!!!!! And staff had told us 1 hour?? That is not ok!!!!!! So we went nearly 3 hours to go for a short walk by the wax palms, and then 3 hours back. Horrible drive! If this hotel wants to sell this trip, they should tell people exactly what they get, nothing more, nothing less. In conclusion, this is a nice hotel with somewhat unprofessional staff, so room for improvement!

This is a lovely place to stay close to the city but away from the hustle and bustle. We were here in the most busy week of the year, the Salento celebrations, and were really happy not to stay in town. It’s just a 10’ walk and very doable, also after dark. Even it was very busy, Christina took the time to answer all our questions and to arrange what she could for us. Also a pickup when we went for dinner and it was raining cats and dogs. The room is comfortable with a good bed and hot shower. Only negative thing was the bed for our son. The quality of the matras was really poor because normally it’s a sofa, and he had two rough nights on it.

Prachtig, kleinschalig verblijf in Salento. Prachtig uitzicht, heerlijk ontbijt, persoonlijke benadering. Eigenaresse Christina is zeer gastvrij en helpt graag bij het organiseren van excursies, regelen van een taxi en andere zaken. Het complex is heel schoon en er wordt veel georganiseerd Het is een kleine wandeling naar het kleurrijke stadje Salento. Heerlijk rustig gelegen. Je wordt ‘s ochtends gewekt door het gezang van de vogels. Super!

Una estancia auténtica, acogedora, familiar y cercana. El lujo de despertarte cada día dentro de la madre Tierra. Unas instalaciones muy bien adaptadas al entorno. Un estilo monacal y austero. Menos es todo. Sin artificios. Una anfitriona entregada, encantadora y feliz de serlo. Un desayuno con pan de masa madre, mantequilla de verdad, leche sin lactosa, café de Colombia, y tortilla. Así da gusto empezar el día.

Geweldig ontvangst door Jordy, hij is gewoon lekker zichzelf! Samen met Christine runnen ze dit prachtig hotel, nette kamer met heerlijke douche, en goed bed, sochtends een lekker ontbijtje met uitzicht op de bergen en Salento... ons verblijf hier was fantastisch. Dikke aanrader! Genieten van de rust, of een minuut of 8 lopen maar Salento centrum het is makkelijk te doen. Mocht je even niet willen lopen dan brengen de willys je voor weinig geld naar Gran Azul of Salento. 👌👌

Hemos estado cinco noches alojados en este hotel y hemos estado como en casa. La habitación es muy cómoda y amplia ylas vistas quitan el hipo Jordi y su equipo nos trataron de 10. Desayuno casero con huevos cocinados al momento, mermeladas caseras con pan y mantequillay cada día un tipo de zumo además de una deliciosa macedonia preparada por ellos. Está a unos quinientos metros de la entrada/ salida del pueblo por lo que para cenar recomiendo llevar una linterna (o el móvil) para ver donde pisas. Repetiríamos sin dudarlo.
