    The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and the beach. The staff was really helpful and upgraded us to a clean room with a terrace. The setting of the property on top of the hill offers the best view of Taganga.

    Suitable place for exploring Taganga. Secured hotel with amiable and helpful staff and pleasant views of the bay. Comfortable beds & well-designed rooms. Variety of supplies in the room: climate control, an individual safe, and a dining area. Incredible and comfy location, feet from Taganga Bay. 16 miles to the airport.

    The breakfast was good with plenty of options, and the location, not very far from Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona, felt secure.

    I had a truly lovely stay at Cactus in Taganga. The views were absolutely amazing, especially during the sunset. The easy access to Tanga Bay made it convenient for me to explore and enjoy the beach. I also indulged in the freshly made arepas con queso y pollo and the freshly made fruit juices, which were delicious.

    The terrace overlooking the bay was stunning, especially during sunset. The view was breathtaking and made for a perfect spot to relax on the rocking chair or hammock. The staff were friendly and ensured that the chalets were private and secure.

    There were a few maintenance issues during my stay. The lights in the room didn't work one night, and we later discovered an electrical switch that had been turned off.

    The cabins at this hotel offer an incredible view of the bay, with a private terrace that has a rocking chair and a hammock. the staff are super friendly and accommodating, even catering to special dietary needs like vegan options for breakfast. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with chilly AC and the option to use a shared kitchen facility.

    The noise from a nearby bar can be quite loud at night, especially on weekends, which may disrupt sleep.

    For the price we paid, the value was great and the room was comfortable with fantastic AC. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the town center and with a breathtaking view of Taganga. The staff, especially Vanessa and Daira, were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    Hotel breakfast could be improved with more variety and options.

    We were blown away by the incredible terrace overlooking the bay at Hotel Cactus. The view was absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. The staff, particularly Claudia and the two hermanas, made us feel like part of the family. The location just outside Taganga was perfect, giving us easy access to the beach without the noise of the center. We loved the chilled ambiance and the comfortable "double twin bed" room with AC. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh fruit, eggs, and juice. We even had a vegan friend with us, and they made her a huge fruit salad. The hammock on the porch was the perfect spot to relax and take in the stunning surroundings. Despite a few minor inconveniences, like the nearby nightclub and a leaky ceiling, our overall experience was exceptional. We would definitely recommend Hotel Cactus for its beautiful terrace, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere.
