Soy Local Guatape Campestre

Aspectos positivos: Great location for restful days. Hammocks, palm trees and a great view on the waterfront. Everything we needed to relax.

Beautiful place, but not for everyone

Aspectos positivos: I had a wonderful time at Soy Local in Guatapé! The hotel is surrounded by breathtaking nature, full of birds and stunning views. The food was delicious, and the staff was always attentive and ready to help with anything I needed. One of the highlights of my stay was kayaking—it was so much fun and a great way to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I highly recommend this place for nature lovers and adventure seekers

Aspectos negativos: This hotel is not for everyone. The road to get there is rough, so if you’re not driving, transportation can be tricky. Tuk-tuks charge at least 35,000 COP because the road make the ride challenging for them. I mostly walked and used public buses from the main road, so it wasn’t an issue except for one night when I stayed out late in Guatapé. Another downside is the loud music. The hotel plays reggaeton and party music at a high volume all afternoon and evening until around 10 PM, and it can be heard almost everywhere. If you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing stay, this might not be the best option for you.

Comfortable stay in hotel apprx. 10 km from Guatapé town, overlooking lake and river

Aspectos positivos: Very comfortable (chain) hotel about 10 km from Guatapé town. The hotel is really secluded, with gorgeous views from the terraces out over river/lake. Comfortable places to sit, use a hammock and unwind. The rooms are fairly small, but comfortable, clean with clean linen and towels. The lake is not for swimming, but canoes can be rented at the hotel. Breakfast is included, which is nice as the hotel is far from town/restaurants. It's about a 10 min walk up a pitted dirt road to the main road, where Jimmy jeeps and buses can take you into town. The male staff at the hotel was friendly and helpful. My local Claro simcard did not work at the hotel, by no fault of the hotel ofcourse. Fortunately there was free wifi, just a but sketchy but it sufficed.

Aspectos negativos: The young female receptionist was very unfriendly. Moaning and groaning every time we asked something (hardly ever asking, that is).

Excellent stay

Aspectos positivos: Amazing location, peaceful and full of nature. Loved the kayaks and the wakeboarding on the lake

Aspectos negativos: The road leading to the hotel could be improved, with asphalt etc for easier access

Nice clean hotel

Aspectos positivos: Very nice and clean hotel. The room was clean the bed was comfortable and the service was grood, although we do not speak spanish. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was just a simple american/mexican breakfast, but we enjoy it. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was oke, the price is same as the other restaurants in the area.

Aspectos negativos: The only problem we had is that the last night and morning of our stay there was no hot water.

Great spot to enjoy the town, touristy stuff & quiet lakes of Guatape

Aspectos positivos: Location - further from town but easy in TukTuk. Beautiful spot on the lake. Lots of space and places to relax/enjoy. Loved the yoga/hammock space. Food - breakfast was great, really filling and good size portion. Meals from the restaurant were big portion and reasonably priced. Some veggie options. Staff - friendly and helpful, tried really hard to speak English for us, it was appreciated. Room - good size, hot shower, fresh towels, soft bedding and sheets. Free kayaks to use, was really fun!

Aspectos negativos: Restaurant - it was a bit confusing how ordering food worked. A number of times we sat and waited and tried to catch the staffs attention but felt ignored and they went to people who sat down after us. When I went up to ask to order they seemed confused. Need a better system because they all seemed stressed every breakfast. Rooms - the walls are quite thin and windows offer no privacy so have to have the blind down. Can hear everything on the corridors and bar music is loud until 10pm.

Nice place to stay with some room for improvment

Aspectos positivos: The hotel is lovely located. Of corse it is a remote place but you know this before you book it ;) It was clean and comfy. The property is well maintained. The staff was really friendly and helpful.

Aspectos negativos: There is a lot of potential for additional services for example jt would be great to offer a laundry-service! Espescially considering the remote location. There is a lot of room for improvement for the qualitiy of the food. Would be lovley to have a proper restaurant instead of the „bistro“ as you don‘t have other options nearby.

Nice jacuzzi room

Aspectos positivos: The staff was amazing. We booked the room with the outside jacuzzi, the jacuzzi was nice.

Aspectos negativos: For the Price paid for the jacuzzi room, i would expect the room to be bigger. We had some problems with the projector, althought the staff solved the issue. Be aware that is far from the Center so everytime you need to go there, you pay 35-40m pesos.

Aspectos positivos: beautiful surrounding, peaceful, good value for money.

Aspectos negativos: The bed was not really comfortable and the shower hang too low for me (1.85m).

Aspectos positivos: Nice quiet comfortable place to stay. Even have a pool table to play in the evening , some hamack to relax. Not to far from town just need a tuck tuck transportation or flag a bus from the main road.
