The room was lovely with a view and basic amenities. I do think some refinement/update is necessary for example our toilet was not secured to the building and moved whensat down on in addition to the nets in front of the cabin were damaged.

Harmony all the way!
Nice little hotel up in the mountains. Perfect service, everyone made it so that we had a perfect stay. We stayed for two night. Nights were a little warm having the fan in the room was a blessing. Short into town. The breakfast and dinner offered at the hotel were delicious. Great views of the mountains . Perfect for a couple of days to get out of the noisy streets and beaches. I highly recommend it!

Quirky hotel, great surroundings
We really enjoyed our stay at Sweet Harmony. Staff were friendly and gave advice on things to do in the local area. There is also great choice for breakfast each morning. Guests also can explore the grounds of the hotel with a river and hammocks to enjoy. Would definitely recommend this hotel

Very hot standard rooms without air conditioning
We were only able to book a standard room and regretted it. Since the hotel was full we were not able to upgrade either. The room was very hot and since there were so many mosquitoes we were not able to open up the window. We did have a nice rooftop terrace with a very nice view! The staff is very friendly and tries to help any way they can. They explained all the sites in the area and provided a map. We were a little surprised how far the hotel was from town. Definitely more then .37 miles away from town. I agree it would be nice to have a little bridge over the river to cut down travel time but since it is shallow we were able to wade through. It would also be nice to upgrade the rooms with screens on the windows in order to be able to open them and have the rooms cool off at night.

Nice hotel, a few minor tweaks could make it great
Nice hotel, very attentive staff, good breakfast. The hotel was about 10 minutes walk from the main road, there are few hotels in Minca but many hostels. There was no air con so the room was pretty warm most of the time. The security in the room wasn't great ( window didn't lock shut for example) but we had no issues. The bathroom didn't have a blind so people from the rooms below could see in if they decided to walk around to the back of their room.

Whatevagoes, Cary, NC

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms were nicely designed, but needed more curtains (or blocking materials) and screens. The shower has no blocking from the outside other than glass, and there is a house with an active driveway where the family cannot avoid looking in at. Guest. It would have been great to leave the big sliding glass door open all night to get the breeze, but the staff told us that mosquitoes and other biting bugs would have gotten in. The fan was bery weak, so the room was hot and stuffy, while the outside weather was great. Very limited food service at the hotel, so guests have to walk 20-30 minutes on a dirt road to get into town. There is nice river below the property to wade around in. And there are some nice spaces to sit and relax when it’s not too hot. I gave the hotel an average score, because compared to other lodging in Minca, it was better than much of the competition.

Out-of-the-way hidden lodgings!
Whatever is being read here here should be contextualized - Minca is basically a village known for eco-tourism. So you can't really expect luxury. In any case, the room we had was very nice and spacious. We were located right next to the reception area, so we had Wifi but I know that other rooms do not get it. Room, Service and People are all 5 stars, especially given the area. The is big plus/minus = Location. Sweet Harmony is located around 20 mins walk from the village central square. On the one hand, you have your own little jungle type feel because of the isolation, which I will say is pretty cool (The river is located right below the lodge and you can hear the stream loud and clear- Its very nice) BUT, you always have to walk for 20 mins to the centre(The path maybe slushy during rainy season) or take a bike-taxi (USD $2). But overall Minca is a low-key place, so if you are staying for long, 20 mins wont make a huge difference. But overall the place is nice, rooms are good and staff is great.

Easy jungle living.
The hotel is in a wonderful location up on a hill with views in all directions. It even has access to the river where you can go for a quick dip in the afternoon to cool off. The staff was very nice and extremely helpful. The internet really only works in one common area so keep that in mind if you need to access it or do work from your room. I found the breakfasts in the morning to be lacking. Compared to other hotels in this price range we found it awful simple and without a lot of thought. If you don't have your own car it is quite a walk from town down a muddy dirt road. We didn't mind it but it could be an obstacle for others. The rooms are well-appointed and very comfortable with great little balconies. I agree with some other reviewers that it would be nice to have screens installed on the doors so the rooms can cool off nice in the evenings without letting all the bugs in.

Peaceful
Like all of Colombia, the people at Sweet Harmony were really nice and accomadating. The rooms are nice and so peaceful falling asleep to the sounds of the river. With no ac and having the windows open, do be prepared for lots of bugs and maybe even a lizard in your room. But that's just expected when staying somewhere surrounded by jungle. Hot water in the shower was a plus. I would definitely stay here again if visiting Minca.

Quiet place close to Minca
Great place to stay if visiting Minca. It’s away from the town, so nice and quiet. You can walk to town easily but it is along a bumpy and dark road. We had a car (4x4 or raised suspension recommended!) but others just walked and were perfectly happy. The views to river are great. There’s birds and cats and trees everywhere. Just great!
