natures paradise

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Aug 2012
This is the perfect place if you enjoy nature, bird watching and tours in the surrounding djungle. We could watch the birds and other animals directly from the top floor while enjoying our meals. As a biologist from Sweden, visting Colombia for the first time, I had wonderful adventures every day. The knowledge shared by the people working at the hotel was a big plus.
Date of stay: July 2012
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

An hotel to avoid. Unfortunately is diffcult to book a hotel in advance in Capurgana via internet (no booking facilities, very few reviews etc.). We stayed here 3 nights:

PRO
- The garden is nice. It may be a nice accomodation if renewed but current status is poor

CONS
- Capurgana is a small town but this place is pretty away from the village. It's a 15min walk on a difficult unpaved road. Nearly impossible to walk by night to the village (and you need a torch)
- There is only a poor guy servicing in the hotel doing everything, from cleaning to cooking
- Pretty expansive also for European standards due to the hefty commission that the owner takes. We investigated and discovered that the hotel is owned by a lady living in Bogota (Laura) but managed by a guy (Omar) who pays a rent to her. The lady take the reservations via the website and applies a hefty 40% fee
- They overbooked and gave us 2 rooms which we discovered were destinated to the staff. Very dirty with no lights. We managed to get a large "normal" room only because the email from the owner said "room with seaview" which the 2 staff-rooms clearly had not. For complaints speak with Omar (he at least tries to accomodate you the best that he can), Laura only interested in money
- Food is poor. Avoid to pay the dinner in advance and go dining in Capurgana. Cheaper and better

If you have no other choice than to stay here, make sure you pay the minimum in advance (no dinner, no tickets for the boat to Turbo, no excursions). If you pay the excursions / boat here at the hotel you will overpay as they'll take a commission. Go and buy your excursions in Capurgana directly

Room tip: Make sure in the confirmation you have a room with seaview. Otherwise they'll give you two very dirty rooms on the back which are destinated to the staff

Reviewed 13 January 2012

Stayed here 3 nights in Jan 2012 while travelling with a group of friends.
Avoid this hostel. All the other guests that were staying here were as disappointed as us. The problem is that if you want to book a hotel in Capurgana from abroad, this is one of the few that you actually can manage to book. Once there, we discovered that the agency that booked it for us had charged a 100% mark up on the price of the rooms. The other hostels of same quality in Capurgana cost a third of this one.
This hotel looks nice in the photos but in reality it is falling into pieces.
Terrible location. It is in front of the sea but the beach is disgusting so you have to walk 20 mins back to the town centre and then either go to the beach next to the port (not great) or take a boat and go to one of the other mediocre playas of the area.
The Sol Y Luna has no hot water and electricity works randomly so you definitely need to bring a lamp with you as you will need it to reach your room and walk back home at night or just to go to the bathroom.
The rooms are old, dirty and full of beds (we had a room with 5 beds + 1 double).
The guy who looks after the hotel is actually nice and helpful. He cooks breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening, both served in the terrace on the top floor, which is not too bad.
This hotel is heavily overpriced, avoid it. I would avoid Capurgana in general to be honest, don't be fooled by the description in the Lonely Planet. Even if you go to La Miel in Panama (small, crowded but white sand beach), you will not enjoy the sea as it is very dirty.

Room tip: If in spite of this review, you really want to stay in the hotel, get a room with sea view as the lateral rooms are even worse. The rooms with sea view have an hammock on balcony.
