Views were lovely and style of huts are very right to the area’s native culture. The huts were spacious and the toilets worked great, although one cannot flush toilet paper which is understandable. As the huts are literally hugging the side of a mountain, make sure to wear good walking shoes and have steady balance to walk on paths and steep steps.

The location of the property is stunning, right in the middle of a jungle. The property however, is quite dated and is not well maintained in terms of cleaning. Breakfast is very basic with very limited options. We tried massages and they were great.

Breathtaking Views in Secluded Jungle Paradise

I spent three weeks traveling through Colombia, and my stay in Minca at Minca Ecohabs was by far the best part of my visit. I wish I spent more than only two nights here. The views are absolutely breathtaking. I woke to a Tucan bird and parakeets. The included breakfast is wonderful. These are "no-frills" thatched roof bungalows, but they offered exactly what I was looking for in this Colombian jungle paradise. The bed was comfortable, the shower had hot water, and the experience was truly unforgettable.

AVOID ON WEEKENDS

HORRENDOUS. I stayed two night. I was looking for peace and quite. My room open air room was directly over the kitchen and dinning area. The first morning I was awaken at 7am by guests eating breakfast. The second night the dance club next door blasted music until 5:45 AM. IMPOSSIBLE TO SLEEP. Then a tour group of 20 showed up for breakfast at 6:45. THERE WAS 1:15 minutes of quite all night. BIG SUCK! Additionally a film crew of non registered guests filmed a music video all afternoon. 4 hours of the same music being blasted directly under my room and smoking the whole time. This place really is to be AVOIDED!!

Un séjour vraiment mémorable dans cet établissement ! Le gros point fort réside dans ses chambres originelles en forme de cabanes dans les arbres : le cadre est magnifique, dépaysant et offre une immersion totale en pleine nature tout en restant très confortable. Un vrai coup de cœur ! Un petit point d'amélioration : Le petit-déjeuner est servi un peu tard le matin. Pour les lève-tôt ou ceux qui souhaitent démarrer leurs journées d'excursion de bonne heure, cela demande de ne pas prendre le petit déj sur place.

MincaEcoHabs era una propiedad muy bonita con vistas espectaculares. Muchos pájaros exóticos y bonitos, los árboles y montañas alrededor hacen un paisaje muy calmado. Queda un poquito alejado del pueblo, se escucha la música un poco durante los fines de semana pero esta bien cerca para caminar, y alejado para mantener paz y tranquilidad Angie, Bryan y todos los q trabajan allí son muy buena gente, buenas recomendaciones, y muy amables Los cuartos están bien grandes con vista muy bonita, tiene nevera, agua caliente (que lujo), y un balcón con hamaca para las vistas. Ver la puesta del sol desde el mirador q está en la propiedad es una maravilla y los sonidos de la selva y pájaros en el atardecer y por la mañana es muy bonito. El desayuno delicioso, no se sobre cena o almuerzo porq el restaurante solamente tenía desayuno para ese entonces pero estaba bien rica la comida y el restaurante también tiene unas vistas hermosas de las montañas y Santa Marta. Me encantó tanto que me quede un día adicional, definitivamente regresaré a MincaEcoHabs

Sehr gut! Das Zimmer war schön, mit Balkon und Sicht ins Tal. Das Bett hatte ein Mückennetz also auch keine Mücken die den Schlaf stören. Das Personal ist super. Wir haben Hilfe gebraucht, um rechtzeitig weiter zu kommen und man hat und mit allem was möglich war unterstützt. Vielen Dank dafür! Das zugehörige Restaurant ist genial. Sehr leckeres Frühstück und selbst morgens um 4.30 Uhr haben wir ein richtig leckeres Sandwich auf den weg bekommen. Wir werden das Restaurant sowie das Hotel definitiv weiter empfehlen!

Wonderful views!

Great hotel for people who love nature. Great views. The only problem was that our room was next to the road so we could hear the cars. Other than that, an amazing experience! The chef of the restaurant, Alex, was great! He cooked great meals and accommodated the menu to our special needs! Vegans are welcome at the hotel!!

Charming cabins with friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely little place outside Santa Marta. Cabins are well screened from the bugs (but some will get in, you are in nature!). Hot water for showers, all friendly staff, especially Ivan. The town of Minca is about 100 yards away where you can contract ecological activities and tours. The restaurant wasn't so great, the cook was friendly, but the food was greasy and so salty it was almost inedible. Still, I would absolutely stay here again, it's wonderful You have to walk up and down natural steps, so not good for disabled people with limited mobility, but otherwise, you'll be happy. Oh, the climate is great, too. You are up in the foothills so its not as hot as in Santa Marta. Our room fan was more than enough.

Lovely place on the cliff overlooking the valley and Santa Marta in the distance. The rooms are two level open air (but well netted) structures with a living space on the first floor and bedroom on top. Private bathroom with shower. Very comfortable matress/pillows and impeccably clean. The top floor has a balcony with hammocks and a beautiful view. Minutes walk to main town and all the amenities. Included breakfast was fruit, juice, coffee/tea and typical Columbian fare (corn patties, arepas, eggs), very tasty and simple. The restaurant was closed for lunch and dinner, however, there were lots of places to eat In town. Special mention of Ivan, the receptionist who was incredibly gracious, friendly, and spoke excellent English. He gave us great suggestions, and directions on where to go and what to do, to get the most out of our time in Minca. Was also happy to order food to the room for us after a long day of hiking, and arrange tours/transportation as requested. He made our trip. Overall highly recommend the excellent ecohotel and a big thank you to Ivan for making our trip so enjoyable.

The property is beautiful and the rooms have lovely views. I enjoyed reading in the hammock and looking out at the mountains. The staff is incredible and very helpful. However, the food is just ok. Breakfast is included and it is very basic. I also stayed next to an area where the staff was working and experienced a little more noise. For example, they did laundry until 9pm and starting before 8am, which was distruptive. Overall, a wonderful place to stay. Minca does not offer many midrange hotels, so it’s a great option if you dont want to be in a hostel.
