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!!

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.

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.

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

Perfect jungle relaxation
Wonderful family operated place with cute animals! VERy very clean, bug nets were perfect, hammocks and the pool were so relaxing in the jungle forest. Breakfast was perfect before setting off to trek tayrona! Tayrona entrance is just a few minute walk!

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.

Pleasant stay with lovely views in Minca.
The room was spacious and beautiful with great views. Front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Quick on site laundry. 5 minute walk to town. On site restaurant is good but service is very slow. Overall, lovely place to enjoy the area and to relax.

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.

The setting is lovely with a beautiful backdrop. The downsides should be obvious, as it's literally a hut in the middle of the forest - the room isn't sealed, so you'll get a variety of bugs and musquitos, as well as lizards (that will poop on you from the roof multiple times). Pay attention, do not book taxis or tours with the reception, as their prices are almost double usual prices you can get in the village or with taxi company in Santa Marta

I love the view, I love the setup. The bed isn't so comfortable, and I wish I had had DEET bug spray! The hammock was what I wanted more than anything, so I wish there were a mosquito net around it so that I could have slept in it overnight. I wasn't in love with the staff, and I didn't know that the reception staff left at like 7. I didn't even know how to find the restaurant to get a bite to eat, and I left on my hike before they arrived. I couldn't check out, as no one was there to check me out. Logistical concern, but it worked out. I spent several free hours after checking out at the restaurant in its hammock. I loved the restaurant staff far more than the front desk staff. The room I was in was ajacent to another room. I listen to podcasts on my phone speaker to sleep, and despite not saying anything when my neighbor's loud conversations disrupted my time on the hammock or my first attempts to sleep, they banged on the wall and yelled at me for my podcasts. Not blaming the hotel whatsoever -- but it's something to be aware of when choosing a room. Heads up -- you need to be able to go up and down steep stairs without railings to stay in these rooms. I could have stayed another day for the view, despite the unfortunate neighbors, relaxing and reading in the hammock, but it was booked up. I still recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay at the Ecohab. Breakfast was good . Most importantly the birdcwatching from the room was amazing. Minca in general is am amazing little town with lot of beauriful hikes, friendly people and wonderful scenary. La cadcada de Miranka, pozo Azul and La Candelaria coco tour are a must do in Minca.
