Don Javier is an excellent, considerate, kind hostel.

One of the most magical places I have ever been lucky enough to stay in. Don Javier is a gem, the food was delicious, and the property was absolutely magical! Also, he makes the best food in all of Colombia.

The unique place is one of the most calm and beautiful place i have come across on my travels in colombia. Everything is made with so much love. The food from the own amazing garden, the juices, the accomandation. The entrance to the parque Tayrona is not far and no problem to walk there.

We absolutely loved the location - it’s in the middle of nowhere but still very close to the main entrance of the National park. Javier was the most hospitable host and the food was just like from my mum!

We loved the experience of simple and peaceful living in a very charming Homestay. The family are very welcoming, discreet and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to stay. The garden and local walk/swim in the river is enchanting.

We loved our stay in Posada la Ofelia.✨ It’s the perfect place to stay if you’re planning to visit tayrona park and some beaches nearby. Since the place is really in the middle of the jungle, we saw lots of animals, while hiking to the posada and in the posada itself. (we didn’t see animals in tayrona park btw) Also, food is just amazing! We had dinner everynight in the house. Best meals we had during our trip. Thank you for everything, we really felt this is a special place 💕 Diana & Hugo

Javier is a great and lovely host. Posada la Ofelia feels like staying with a family member. The house is beautiful and you can enjoy watching birds and monkeys while having breakfast. The food is all homemade and tastes amazing. Overall, we had a lovely time and would definitely come back again!

Bring a good pair of shoes! Beautiful location, 20' min walk to the bus that takes you to Santa Marta (1 hr away), the Tayrona park entrances (10 min away), costeño beach (10 min away)... great takeoff point if you want to visit these areas. The finca is well kept, tucked away in nature in the woods, lots of wildlife to see. The hosts are great, meals are 25000 pesos and delicious, Javier has lots of stories and wisdom to share. Family and community vibe to the place, great place to meet others and share travel experiences. Rooms are pretty basic but comfortable with mosquito nets. For an authentic and restful experience in nature.

This place is paradise. I have never stayed somewhere as magical, beautiful and accommodating as Posada Ofelia. It's difficult to describe in words, you just have to stay here. The crystal clear rivers, walks through the jungle and passionfruit vines, the two beautiful dogs Pollo and Paka, the sensational home cooked Colombian food (we stayed for 12 nights and the food was different and unique every time), and most of all the incredible hospitality from Esperanza and Javier. I can't thank you both enough for creating such a special place. I can't wait to return and give you both a big hug. If you're reading this please stay here!

Family run, Javier and Esperanza are wonderful, attentive hosts. You feel like part of the family immediately upon arrival. Dinner and breakfast are fabulous, you can watch birds, hummingbirds. Great location also for excursions to Tayrona National Park.
