The service was excellent and very attentive!
10/10
We stayed in the family room (Lar 11) and we had amazing views from our room. Safe and enjoyable for kids and adults. We went with an 3yr old and 8yr old and they enjoyed it a lot!
Great breakfast options, vegetarian and vegan friendly also available. They also have room service which is excellent!
The hottub on the deck of the room is a must do! Very enjoyable and with an amazing view.
It gets cold when it rains, so bring your rain coat/jacket and at sunrise and sundown it gets pretty chilly.
Only sidenote: you have to walk up the hill to get to the restaurant/lobby area and walk down the hill to get back to your room. It is not suitable for people who have walking disabilities or difficulties.
I was a little hesitant to stay here because of the rating but I am so glad we did. I'm not sure what people had to complain about. Everything was great. Do not stay here if you are not able-bodied is my only suggestion. The rooms are on a mountain side and hard to access if you or a family member is not very mobile.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing Stay. The service was truly unbelievable. We had Santiago attend to us during our entire stay and he was nothing but attentive, and so was the entire staff. I highly recommend anyone that visits Colombia to make a stop at this incredible gem of a hotel.
Extremely underwhelming. Arrived via the pontoon which was nice. Then a steep walk to the property up a mud path. Great views and nice concept.
Food- Average at best. Overpriced because your are stuck with in the hotel, so they can name their price. Breakfast portion size enough to feed a small child, I’m still waiting for my coffee. Dinner was a poor cut of ‘fillet’ steak.
Cleanliness- Bed was filthy with yellow stains on. 3 times it was changed, eventually some clean bedding. Not much empathy showed from the hotel which was a shame.
Facilities- Decided to hire a jet ski at the cost of $80 for an hour which is on the pricier side. This was despite being told less by a member of staff.
Also be careful as they slap on service charges for every single thing you consume. This is voluntary so you can remove it.
Overall, 5/10. I believe there are better places in Guatape, don’t be roped in by their social media posts.

Un hotel increíblemente bello, pero con muchas oportunidades de mejora, aunque el personal es muy amable y hacen su mejor esfuerzo les falta un sistema de comunicación para los requerimientos que tiene uno como huésped, dado que solo manejan WhatsApp y ademas es manejado por varias personas al tiempo. Por otro lado una falla grande que encontré es que no pude llegar por tierra como lo tenia planeado debido a que la carretera de acceso esta cerrada y no se sabe por cuanto tiempo, el tema de llegar en barco no es el problema , el problema es no avisar con tiempo y así uno no hace planes que luego se deben perder por completo.
We couldn’t stay because we weren’t able to get there because the road is closed. We had to stay and pay in other hotel. We demand emidiagely refund of the total money
Beautiful breathtaking views and great for fitness enthusiasts that enjoy nature and the challenges of walking up the hills. For those that would prefer to stay put, they have room service included.
En Boato Hotel se esmeraron por brindarnos un excelente servicio, todo el personal es muy amable, las instalaciones super cómodas, una estadía para repetir y recomendar a rojos cerrados.
La cabaña estaba un poco descuidada, tenia algunos cajones en mal estado, las personas del servicio no eran muy amables. Fue un servicio un poco costoso para lo que es en realidad.
Servicio de alto nivel, privado y lindos detalles!
Excelente servicio, tienen cabañas entre las montañas rodeadas de naturaleza y con vista a la represa de Guatapé / El Peñol. Las cabañas son separadas y hay mucha privacidad, tienen jacuzzi, son de un diseño muy bonito, bien dotadas con lindos detalles, cortina principal automática, máquina de café Nespresso, parlante / speaker Alexa, nevera con minibar y utensilios para preparar comida. La cama es cómoda de tamaño Queen y el baño tiene secador de pelo y dotado con productos de la marca Lotto del Sur ( jabón, shampoo, crema de manos y acondicionador).
Se puede caminar hasta la represa 100 o 200 Mt y tienen disponibilidad de stand up paddle y kayak. Tienen sillas y asoleadoras para pasar un rato al lado de la represa y cuentan con un bar donde puedes acceder a bebidas.
Las comidas son de buena calidad te las pueden llevar a tu cabaña ( room service), El desayuno es muy variado y a la carta.
Todo perfecto! El lugar es precioso, con muchas actividades para hacer, la comida es deliciosa, el Lar es super comodo y muy bien dotado. La vista del lugar es hermosa! Un fin de semana inolvidable 💙
Habitaciones cómodas, lindo lugar cuando quieres tranquilidad, muy mala comunicación, cambios inesperados en el menú, cuando llega la comida a la habitación llega fría.
