"Pros: We had a wonderful stay at Awatawaa! The Caribbean water is perfect for swimming. The resort and beach are clean and secluded. If you're looking for partying and night clubs, this is not your scene. If you love nature, birds, relaxation, swimming in a calm seas, extremely friendly helpful staff, this is the place. We will be back again! Rooms: This is an eco-lodge. Not air conditioned. Temps are moderate as it is ocean-front. The bungalows are comfortable airy and with mosquito netting around each bed and private bathrooms with each room. Noteworthy details: The owners and staff are awesome hosts, and are committed to environmental responsibility and sustainability. They will bend over backwards to make your stay special. Cons: You can not drive directly to the lodge without 4 wheel drive and some skill crossing mud. They will pick you up in the nearby town La Punta de los Remedios and get you to the lodge (about 2 km). This was not a problem for us as we had a taxi to the town from Santa Marta which Paula booked for us. Bring Mosquito repellant." ~John
