Quienes manejan el hotel es una familia. Y lo reciben a uno como uno de la familia

Todo estuvo muy bien

Un lugar tranquilo y muy bien atendidos por su anfitrión don Hugo.

La tranquilidad del lugar

El sitio es muy chulo para atardeceres y hacer los tours de avistamiento de ballenas, Hugo es muy amable y bien tío, con algún contratiempo siempre estaba dispuesto a ayudar y con una sonrisa igual que su mujer que también es encantandora.

Estás bastante aislado, pero ya lo sabíamos. Has de traer todo el efectivo que puedas, no hay cajeros ni casas de cambio, y tours, comidas y todo se paga en cash (no nos lo dijeron). La habitación muy calurosa, no hay aire y el ventilar es escaso.

Fantastic location and super friendly staff. Food is marvellous

Excelente lugar para descansar. Todo el personal del Eco-Hotel es muy amable y servicial. La playa es muy tranquila. Sin duda regresaré a disfrutar de este hermoso paraíso.

Tanto en lugar como el trato fueron geniales! Hugo y su familia nos trataron muy muy bien, nos sentimos como en casa. Y la comida de Vanesa va a ser difícil de superar!

No hay nada que no nos gustara, muy agradecidos de haber ido a popochos

The view and the kindness of the staff

die lodge liegt direkt am strand, nach nuqui muss man per boot über den fluss. das macht der chef persönlich (an- und abreise). zum bierholen bin ich mit dem hotel-eigenem kajak hin- und zurück gepaddelt, vorher mit dem chef die zeiten absprechen, ebbe und flut sind auch im fluss zu spüren. ist ein tolles erlebnis - mangroven! die etwas abgelegene lage erfordert etwas vorplanung hinsichtlich der mahlzeiten, ist aber zu schaffen. der spaziergang über den strand nach pangui ist zu empfehlen, auf dem weg dahin auch eine total isolierte bar, schön!

ich fand‘s gut.

A small paradise! The tent is right on the vast and mostly empty beach between palm trees and comes with its own shower/toilet house. The garden is beautiful, the people extremely friendly and the food amazing. Thank you again! I can definitely recommend and will try to come back.

Nothing really. If I had to say something it would be that a shelf or similar to store your things when you stay in the tent would be great but really, if you are only one person it doesn’t matter so much.

Staff is great, food is delicious, space is clean and nice, and the view towards the ocean is fantastic. Fully recommended.

El lugar es insuperable. Las vistas, la comida, todo perfecto.

La amabilidad del personal, muchas gracias por la buena disposición a ayudar en lo que haga falta. El entorno es una maravilla, tranquilidad y naturaleza espectacular. La comida y la limpieza del alojamiento están muy bien. Nos sentimos como en casa y volveremos!

A saber que el alojamiento está lejos del pueblo pero Hugo está siempre dispuesto a llevarte en lancha al pueblo o a donde haga falta. Realmente no es algo negativo, ya que gracias a eso estás solo en la playa.

Close to the town and front to the beach.. its perfect

Maybe more fruit in the restaurant..

Le personnel du lodge, l'oganisateur des activités (Hugo), la chambre et la vue était tout simplement superbe. Nous y avons passé 3 jours complet ce qui est l'idéal et cela a été un bonheur du début à la fin.

Malheureusement il n'y a qu'un endroit ou manger et c"est dans le lodge ce qu'il fait qu'il n'y a qu'un seul menu pour manger et on en fait vite le tour donc vous risquer de manger beaucoup de fois la même chose et les heures de chaque repas sont fixes donc si vous ratez l'heure de manger, vous ne manger pas

Die Lage an einsamen wunderschönen Strand. Hugo und die ganze Famile, die das Popochos betreibt. Früchteverkostung aus dem Garten.

Es gab leider nur Wasser und Cafe/ Tee und Säfte zu trinken. Außerhalb der Essenszeiten konnte man sonst nicht wirklich etwas bestellen. Getränke sollte man sich selbst mitbringen wenn man sie braucht.

La amabilidad de todo el personal, Neila, su hija y Hugo son súper amables y serviciales, las personas de la cocina demasiado complacientes y sin duda la vista al mar y las habitaciones perfectas para desconectarse uno.

Todo maravilloso

Si quieres tranquilidad y paz es el sitio rodeado de naturaleza El pueblo cerca por si quieres cenar en sitio ricos y pasear Victor es super amable te organiza todo La comida es muy buena

Todo bien

Popochos Beach was super nice, the hotel is really well kept and clean. Hugo, Neila and the women who cook are really nice and help you with everthing you need. I enjoyed my stay there a lot.

Nothing

Amazing stay at Popochos Eco Lodge. Super nice staff. Located right on the beach, incredibly beautiful. Very quiet. Very good food. They also facilitate access to activities (whales watching / fishing / etc ). Perfect as a couple or as a family. I warmly recommend this place a bit off the village (you’ll have to take a 10 mins ride in loncha).

Todo. Lugar excepcional para descansar y conectar con la naturaleza. Hugo y Estefanía lo regentan muy bien, todo funciona como debe y hacen que la estancia sea muy placentera.

La cabanya amb vistes al mar, la ubicació és idílica per desconectar i estar en contacte amb la naturalesa. L'atenció que vam rebre pel personal va ser excel·lent. Repetiria sens dubte.

Tot bé

El trato, la cercanía y la limpieza. Además de que estás en primera linea en un entorno increíble. Y el océano lo escuchas como si estuviera dentro de la habitación.

El lugar es un paraíso junto al mar. La playa es especial para poder recorrerla sin gente, viendo cangrejos y aves y escuchando el sonido de las olas. Las puestas de sol son increíbles. El alojamiento es muy cómodo y las vistas preciosas. Era un placer tumbarse en la hamaca mecido por el sonido del mar y los pájaros. El personal es muy amable y encantador, siempre atento a las necesidades de los clientes. Facilitan excursiones desde el alojamiento, así como los traslados en barca al pueblo y al aeropuerto. La relación calidad precio es muy buena. Nuqui es de esos sitios auténticos aún no explotados por el turismo en los que te sientes muy a gusto. Estefanía, enhorabuena por este lugar tan mágico que regentas con mucha profesionalidad y un trato familiar y amigable que lo hace aún más especial.

Las instalaciones, la ubicación, el aseo, el personal es muy amable, las chicas de la cocina, Stephany y Hugo hacen que sea una verdadera experiencia. El avistamiento de ballenas es una cosa que sí o sí se debe hacer en la vida, Nuquí es un lugar maravilloso.

Nada

Hugo es un excelente anfitrión, te ayuda desde que llegas al sitio, y puedes coordinar con él los tours y planes para hacer en el lugar. Increíble servicio por parte de todo el personal, muy amables, amigables y colaboradores, te hacen sentir en casa desde que llegas. Nosotros viajamos con nuestra hija de 6 años, y se portaron una maravilla con ella. En cuanto al lugar, es totalmente mágico, en primera linea de playa y completamente alejado de cualquier ruido. Para desconectarse de todo! Recomendado al 100%

Realmente TODO es espectacular. De pronto mejoraría un poco la variedad del menú en el sitio, y de ser posible, vender consumibles, pues si te antojas de una gaseosa o algo de paquete, debes ir hasta Nuqui o encargarlo por domicilio al sitio.

Me hospedé en Popochos y fue una experiencia inolvidable. Desde que llegué me sentí muy bien, la calidez de Hugo, Estefanía y el personal hacen que te sientas en confianza. Despertar con el sonido del mar y disfrutar de la playa casi desierta hicieron de mi estancia un verdadero regalo. Es un lugar que se queda en el corazón y al que sin duda quiero volver. El personal te ayuda con los tours y el transporte fluvial, las camas y almohadas son muy cómodas, las habitaciones amplias y el agüita de coco deliciosa🥰 No duden es hospedarse en este lugar!!!

Todo me gustó

Mooi plek meteen aan het strand en super leuke excursies! Wij hebben walvissen gezien, mooie waterval en natuurpark. De locatie is top! Aan het strand met maar enkele gasten die er ook verblijven. Wil je naar het dorp dan moet dat per boot.

Jammer dat je geen drankje kon kopen. Daarvoor moet je naar het dorp. De plek is zeker een aanrader maar neem dan wel snacks en drinken mee. Op de locatie is alleen koffie thee en water (gratis)

Eco logde situato direttamente fronte oceano (in quanto eco lodge non dispone di acqua calda, ma dato il clima la temperatura è gestibile) La struttura è di recente costruzione e in ottimo stato. Camere ripulite quotidianamente con molta attenzione e cura Staff gentile e disponibile Presente lancha privata (a pagamento per soggiorni sotto le 3 notti) per l'arrivo e la partenza da Nuqui Disponibile ristorante privato in loco dove si può fare colazione, pranzo e cena (a pagamento) Caffè e acqua potabile sempre a disposizione Zanzariere a protezione del letto Staff molto accogliente e disponibile

Limitata varietà di scelta al ristorante

Todo, ha sido el lugar mas "ecolodge" en el que hemos estado en Colombia

La amabilidad del personal y la ubicación al lado de la playa. Hugo, Estefanía, Neibi, Cesar, Mariza y Marluz fueron encantadores. Un paraíso al que volveremos.

Todo perfecto.

Todo está perfecto! Una vista increíble y una tranquilidad inigualable. El apartamento es hermoso y hay todo lo necesario para cocinar. Recomiendo al 100% ese alojamiento hermoso 🤩

No hay nada que criticar! Tal vez solo tener en cuenta que no se puede comprar ninguna bebida o comida, nada más es cocinar o comer en el restaurante del hotel. Pero hay agua y café en libro servicio.

Es un sitio fantástico donde nos hemos sentido como en casa. El lugar es maravilloso delante del mar y de una playa muy bonita. La amabilidad del personal es lo más. Toda la comida estaba deliciosa. ¡Volveremos!

La atención y calidez de las personas... además de la hermosa vista

We had a wonderful time at Popochos. The staff is warm and friendly and helpful. When my husband was sunburned, they brought him aloe vera. (Watch out for the sun as there is no shade!) The location is outstanding. You're right on the oceanfront with miles of beach on either side and hardly anyone around except for the few other guests at Popochos. Hugo, the host, is lovely. He does his very best for the guests. He isn't always around but if you make a plan with him he's reliable, give or take 20 minutes. The facilities are basic but everything is very clean and everything works. There is a mosquito net around the bed, which is very helpful. You can't stop tiny lizards and spiders from coming into your room but that's part of being on the edge of the jungle right in the middle of nature. There is free coffee and water throughout the day. The food is the same menu for lunch and dinner every day but it's good and they give you plenty. You can hire a kayak for $50,000 COP. You can also take day trips to surrounding areas. The day trip to Utria was fun - you do a very short walk across a raised boardwalk through the mangroves (approx. 25 mins) and then go to Playa Blanca and finally the waterfall at Morromico. The walk to Panguí is great. Panguí is like another world, and the restaurant just slightly further on from there is beautiful. Be careful walking back in the afternoon past about 13:00 because the tide comes in a long way and the beach basically disappears! It's a fun adventure, though. Highly recommend Popochos!

Very friendly staff, accommodating, clean facilities. The manager Hugo was so kind and even helped me arrange tours for my stay. And the food was incredible!

I couldn’t stay longer

We had an absolutely amazing time at Popochos. The location is just 10min outside of Nuquí but it feels like you are in a remote nature paradise. The beach in front of the cabañas is several kilometers long and you barely see any other people there. The cabaña was very clean and the bed was the most comfortable one in our trip through Colombia so far. The food is tasty, the fruits organic from their own garden and we absolutely loved the free coffee and water. The tours we took were amazing and we even went fishing with Hugo and caught so many fish. We can recommend staying at popochos and we will definitely come back. But what really was outstanding was Hugo and Neila and their family. They were so kind and went above and beyond to assure that we would have a good time. They even organized a surf board for us! We honestly didn’t want to leave and felt like we had made new friends.

Nothing :)

The spot is perfect on a very quite beach. The room has everything you’d need like a balcony, hammock, and comfy bed. It is priceless waking up with the view and sound of the waves.. Hugo was quite helpful. At first we doubted if we should reserve close to Termales / Arusi area to reach attractions on foot, but overall here was much better option.

There is no way to reach to Nuqui town by walking. But if you arrange it, Hugo will take you by his boat for 5-10K. For reaching any attraction, you need to reserve a tour with a boat.

Our room was directly at the beach with an amazing view. The host Hugo and his family were so nice and always available if we needed anything. The bed even had a mosquito net which was great for sleeping so we didn’t need to worry about any mosquitos. The food was delicious. I can only recommend staying at Popochos Beach.

Amazing place to relax. The staff is very kind and always willing to help. Perfect to run during the dawn. I would have liked to stay more time there!

Our room was on the sea front, you can sleep at the sound of waves. Our hosts, Hugo and Neila were very helpful, providing excellent service to all our needs. We were served big portions of delicious meals every day!

Everything was perfect. Since this is an eco-lodge within pure nature, you can expect an authentic experience, if you’re up for the adventure.

The location is exquisite, located on a long stretch of beach as the sole accommodation. The flora and fauna were gorgeous and the accommodations were very comfortable.

N/a

The lodge is located at a beautiful beach close to Nuqui. It is clean, well-equiped and has a calming atmosphere. The host and its family are very kind people, who made us feel welcome and

The host did not speak English, which made it a bit difficult to communicate sometimes. However, they did make it work with translate.

Amazing property. If you are looking for somewhere secluded but not to far from Nuqui this is perfect. The owners are amazing hosts who will make sure to give you all the right information. Hugo who works there made sure to help us as well. A perfect stay!

Great location. Remote and private. The mangroves in the back were special as was the beach. The rooms were idyllic, the hosts were super responsive and helped change booking even flights got cancelled. They had a very easy payment system of Revolut cards.

Tours were a bit unpredictable but interesting. The first day mangroves your needs a proper guide and kayak rather than a boat - wasn't worth it. The lunches on both tours we did were too late in the day and in locations that were perhaps not the best for tourists. Especially since we could have eaten at guachalito beach on the first tour. The lodge needs coffee availability for all just it made things very frustrating ti have to order food in from nuqui when the orders and Toni g were unpredictable.

It is close to Nuqui (airport), so no expensive transfer needed. It is located directly at the Olímpica beach (which is not as clean as those further down at Termales - but nice nonetheless). The buildings are new, with spacious rooms and balconies, power sockets in the room, a nice bathroom. Around the buildings there is ample space to go on a short walk, see the home grown pineapples and other fruit. The hosts are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I've only had ne meal there (vegetarian) which was very tasty. You get drinking water refills on demand. I stayed at two other places - this one was the most "fancy" one.

The site is partially still under construction - there is no communal space yet to hang out with other guests. But it's all in the built and once everything is finished, I'm sure it will be very nice.

- super friendly host, Estefania welcomed us at the pier, we got a coconut drink and she organised all the tours for us last minute - she speaks a little bit English and German also :) - the view is amazing! it’s quite and not many persons here, we saw whales from the beach in the evening - we liked the outdoor bathroom with ocean view from the shower - we were allowed to use the fridge because no one was using this accommodation and got two spoons and bowls for our selfmade breakfast - liked the hammocks and the vibe around Just DON’T book the TENT ;)

- taking the boat at the evening is 20.000COP from Nuquí (two persons) and during the day 10.000COP - the tent looks nice, eco friendly, romantic but it’s hot as hell inside even when you leave it open - we couldn’t sleep at all because of the heat, the mattress is way to thin and not comfortable and a bit to small for two adults with the net around - we felt every thunderclap during the blizzards at night and were super tired in the morning - because there is space between the tent and the houses we didn’t feel comfortable the first night because strangers were around coming from the Nuquís party (but weird because there is nothing next to the ecolodge) and you have all your belongings next to the tent… - wifi is not working around the tent and no reception at all with Tigo - no water refill station what would be nice outside from Nuquí and good for an Eco-Lodge because than you don’t need to bring plastic bottles - no kitchen and no lunch/ dinner option on Saturdays (and when we arrived Friday evening)

The owners were most attentive and gracious. They would cut fresh coconuts for us and made sure we were taken care of. The food was delicious and the cook made us some vegan protein patties that were great. The room where we stayed was extremely serene. We went to bed to the sounds of the waves. This was a perfect place to disconnect and relax. Make sure you bring in snacks and water because there are no stores around the property and you need to get a water taxi to get to the closest town.

The food was really good, the bathroom and shower super clean! The hosts were always very friendly and helpful! We had the whole beach to ourselves, as there were no other Lodges on the beach. Stayed for 3 nights, which was perfect.

It would be great if there were lockers available (but there were only 2 other couples staying there, so we weren't worried about our things). Also it would be great if water was included in the price or if there was an option to refill our water bottles. We talked about it with the owners and they said they would look into it :)

This place is something special. Estefania and Giovanni went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They offer services like homecooked meals, organizing your activities, and much more. We felt very much at home in our beautiful private apartment at Popochos. The lodges are just steps away from a gorgeous beach which you will have to yourself. Nuqui is already a dream but our stay at Popochos made it unforgettable. As an extra bonus, the hostel dog Rocky is always there to accompany you on some adventures if you wish!

I wish they sold beer on site and that there was a better kitchen for the campers.

Wow, what an amazing place! Both the lodge and the area itself. It was way better and way less complicated and "rough" than I thought so I'll leave a detailed review. I flew to Nuqui from Medellin EOH in 30 min with Clic air/ex-EasyFly (which I recommend, they have new ATRs, bigger planes than others flying here which is helpful if you get turbulence along the way). Flights were on time both ways. After you pay the Nuqui entrance tax, you turn slightly left and then right and walk 2-300 meters to the tourist port/muelle turístico. Claro and Tigo have coverage here but if you have another Colombian SIM you are covered too due to Roaming Automático Nacional (I got H+ speeds with my SIM from WOM, not sure if having a SIM from Claro gets you 4G or the same; speed was enough for browsing and posting pics, don't think it works for video call). Previously you would have messaged the host (on wapp) who sends a boat/lancha to pick you up. 2-3$ and 10 min later (this trips itself is nice) you are at the lodge. The tent I had was right by the beach and the area had hammocks and a comunal, new and clean, bathroom/shower area. Shower water is not hot but not cold either, it feels fresh. You can buy food, drinks, water, coconut etc from the host, very affordable. This stretch of beach can be reached only by boat and the accommodation is the only one in the area so you'll have kms of beach by yourself (+ crabs/cangrejos haha). It's very easy to travel to Nuqui, the lancha that got you here can be called for you by the host (Niqui has more places to eat, grocery stores, pharmacy etc so no need to overplan things like I did haha; host can help you to even get food delivery from Nuqui!). The whale watching tour that the host booked for me was very nice too and not only it includes whale (and dolphins!) watching but it also goes to a nice, more populated beach area and to Termales.

- sand, from the beach, gets everywhere if you're not careful. And I think it has some metalic elements in it because it got stuck to my magnetic charger.

sometimes when you are travelling you meet people and get to know places that just allow you to have this amazing feeling of home instantly. estefanía and giovanni are masters at creating this feeling. from the first phonecall on you could feel the warmth and the kindness they carry in their hearts. the beach and surroundings are just absoutely stunning and breathtaking and the level of effort they put into the project is amazing. instead of 2 nights we ended up staying for 6. we will definitely come back to this wonderful place and these even more wonderful people as soon as we can ! highly recommended. much love nía and gio from david and vanessa 💓 you will always have a home in vienna

that we hat to leave at some point :(

Stephania is a very kind person. She helped us to organise the rest of our journey in the Chocó. + The food is excellent! ¡Best value for money in columbia so far!
