Vacation rentals with lake access in Gaira

It’s a really nice place that is still under construction. It has all the amenities needed. Plus hammocks, full kitchen and centralized location. The bathroom included in this room is a wet bath and cold water. Personally the other room they provide was better even though it had a shared bathroom. The shower had hot water and it was half the price.

A great find, my partner and I booked our stay here when our original plans fell through. If I had known how peaceful and charming the area was I would have booked more time. The drive up is a small inconvenience, but that's the price of getting away, the locals were very helpful with directions and finding it was easy. Definitely returning here next time I'm in the area.

My partner and I found Selva Minca to be a magical paradise. All the staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and even accommodated flexibly our super late and slightly complicated arrival when we faced trouble with flight cancellations, delays etc. It feels like a little community rather than an anonymous hotel. The food is very nice also, it’s especially a refreshing change to a somewhat basic rural Colombian cuisine ;-) The cabins are located directly in the jungle, so do expect to live and sleep in the jungle with all its relaxing and interesting sounds and animals. We loved it. The whole place truly seemed to care about the eco-tourism idea, not like many other hotels that just use the name but don’t really live by this standard. To get into Minca town, it’s a relaxing 20 minute walk down the main road, or a 5000 COP moto-taxi that only takes around 5 minutes. Also, from Selva Minca, many other hikes are possible, to waterfalls, cocoa farms, etc. We will surely be back!

Exelente place, I love the whole house, its spacious spaces, all very clean, a very quiet place, the clean pool and the best thing is that it has a direct access to the beach !! I would return without thinking it became our favorite place of santa marta!! I highly recommend it

The house was amazing, I was looking for a romantic weekend and that was exactly what we got. Beautiful place in a private location, next to the beach, small but cozy swimming pool. The house was big but very comfortable and homely, we fully recommend this place.

excellent place. ideal for an unforgettable vacation

Manuel was an exceptional host, always making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The apartment is extremely comfortable, modern and very clean, which made our experience even more enjoyable. We traveled with a baby and were pleasantly surprised to find everything we needed to make sure he was comfortable and safe. In addition, the residential complex is amazing, with all the amenities one could wish for. We would definitely come back and recommend it 100%.

The place is wonderful and the location was great. I would like to return as soon as possible 🧡

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this private resort in Santa Marta! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed and welcomed. The property is stunning—beautifully maintained, with a fantastic pool area that our whole family enjoyed every day. There is a restaurant right on site, offering a variety of delicious options, and we loved not having to travel far. Our kids had a blast, and we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful yet fun getaway in Santa Marta!

Daniela is very attentive and helpful, the apartment is as described, it is clean, comfortable and in an excellent location

The apartment is the same as in the photos, very nice and organized, the main bed is comfortable, it has several things for the beach such as a cooler, chairs, balls, the complex is nice and the beach is clean and with few vendors, the restaurant lacks a little variety and the prices are medium to high, as an observation the showers in the bathrooms lacked cleanliness and as a suggestion it would be good to have salt, sugar and oil for short stays to be able to cook with these essentials and not have to buy in large sizes, as well as shampoo, conditioner and body soap that other Airbnbs of this style already offer.

The stay in the apartment was magnificent, in addition to being in excellent condition, everything is very new, it is beautiful, and very cozy; the photos match what the host offers. The possibility of using the different spaces offered by the condominium greatly improves the experience and we highlight the kindness and prompt response of the host, he was very considerate of our situation, his response was always timely and clear, and we are very grateful for his support and willingness to meet our requests. We highly recommend family vacations at this location. Both spaces stood out for their tranquility, security, friendliness of those who serve visitors, impeccability, cleanliness, good taste and because it facilitates the mobility of older adults and people with reduced mobility, in addition it offers several options for the enjoyment of children.  It was really a pleasant and wonderful experience. Infinite gratitude!!! 

The apartment and condominium are as shown in the photos and the amenities match the description provided. It's an ideal place to rest and relax with the family. The variety of spaces allows for different things to do and enjoy, without having to leave the condominium.

Excellent hosts, spacious and super comfortable place, I highlight the cleanliness of the whole place, impeccable towels and sheets, Isabella and her mom, 2 lovely people, super friendly and always ready to help, the only aspect to take into account is that you can't cook here, in the accommodation you can have breakfast for a reasonable price, but everything else you have to eat out. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a lovely three nights at La Candelaria. The location is outside of town but it is absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of the mountains. Eugenio and his family were very welcoming and made us feel at home. The coffee and cocoa tours were great too!
