Hotel Waya Guajira By OxoHotel

The hotel is lovely. The food is delicious. The pool area is amazing. I tried out the spa and it was so good. But what I loved the most was the client service. The employees went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Marvelous base for exploring the La Guajira re3gion of Colombia. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are clean with good air conditioning, and the staff is friendly. The hotel is 5 minutes away from the El Cerrejón coal mine and serves as a business hotel for mining executives & visitors, but is open to the public and has a tropical resort atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind, it is almost 2 hours from Riohacha and just over 2 hours from Valledupar, the 2 closest airports. Everything around here is spread out and rather remote. If you don't have a car, arrange for transportation beforehand for everywhere you go so you don't end up stranded. Buy drinking water and any beverages you want before you get to the hotel. They will sell you bottled water, but they warn you not to drink their tap water. Rooms have small refrigerators. You can buy staples, water, beer, etc. in the nearby hamlets of Cuestecitas or Albania. You get a nice basic buffet style breakfast with eggs, meat (sausage or braised hot dogs), some starch options, bread, and assorted fruit. There is also breakfast cereal. The dinner restaurant was a disappointment. Though the menu listed several types of fish, they were out of every kind of fish you would find in the nearby Caribbean, and only had Salmon, a coldwater fish foreign to Colombia. They listed goat, a local delicacy, but they had none. They did have octopus, which surprisingly was cooked correctly, and tender. The pool & jacuzzi are awesome

This was the best time we had being in Colombia I loved this place and will come back the people were wonderful.
