Compared to everywhere else in Colombia I have stayed, this has been the most underwhelming experience. It was more expensive than elsewhere and the least comfortable, even than hostels half the price. Thin sheets, poor quality mattress.
The first (newer) room I was shown had blood stains on the wall behind the pillows, as if someone with a nosebleed had sneezed on it. I then had the option of a windowless room.

Read moreLet me start off with saying the cúspide is for families, water sports enthusiasts, couples and just about anyone who likes to have fun! The hotel depicts an hacienda style hotel, but don’t be fooled the rooms are cleaned impeccably and the service is phenomenal. During our stay we had the most dilectable meals from their on staff reknowned chef. The owners of the hotel are very hands on, so no matter what your stay will feel like your with family. I honestly believe I will be traveling to Lago Calima...
