Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Jasayma Tayrona Bungalow!
Okay, strap in, because we're diving DEEP into Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Jasayma Tayrona Bungalow! Buckle up, because this isn't your average travel brochure-speak. This is the REAL DEAL, raw and unfiltered. I'm going to tell you EVERYTHING.
First Impressions: OMG, Paradise (Maybe?)
So, "Unbelievable Jasayma Tayrona Bungalow," huh? The name alone sets HIGH expectations. And let me tell you, pulling up… Well, it’s definitely a “vibe.” The drive itself? Think winding roads, lush greenery, and that air that just smells like… well, like paradise is trying REALLY HARD to be paradise.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But We’re Trying!)
Okay, let's be brutally honest, starting with the nitty-gritty. Accessibility. This is where the paradise illusion cracks a little. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is great! But the reality on the ground? I'm not a wheelchair user, but I could tell it would be challenging. The terrain around the bungalows is… uneven. Think natural, beautiful, but definitely not paved flawlessly. Elevator? Nope. Facilities for disabled guests? I’d check in with the property directly and see how they can help. Again, I'm speaking as an observer here; the listed amenities are not a guarantee. This is something they seriously need to improve.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitized…ish?
Okay, COVID-19 world. Let’s talk safety. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, staff trained in safety protocol, Rooms sanitized between stays, Hand sanitizer… they’re trying. Lots of checkboxes ticked. But, and this is just me, sometimes it felt like the cleaning was thorough and then other times… hmm. I’m not a germaphobe, but I'm not thrilled to see a faint dust bunny in the corner. You know? They have listed Sterilizing equipment, which definitely sounds good, right? I personally always prefer the feeling of a place being spotlessly clean.
What's to DO (or Not Do, Depending on Your Vibe): The Relaxation Station and Beyond
Here's the fun stuff! The Swimming pool… Ah, glorious! And the Pool with view? Stunning. Seriously, those photos? They're not lying. The views are spectacular. I spent a good chunk of my time just bobbing around, staring at the jungle.
Ways to Relax: This is where they shine. Massage, Spa, Sauna, Spa/sauna… they got it all! I went for the full spa experience. The Body scrub? Heavenly. The Foot bath with the little fish nibbling at your feet? Surprisingly delightful. The best part? Feeling so relaxed that my brain melted into a puddle of happiness.
They have a Fitness center. Did I use it? Nope. Did I SEE it? Yep. Looked functional, but… honestly, with the stunning views and delicious food, working out felt like a crime against vacation.
Dining Delights (and a Few Hiccups): Food, Glorious Food!
Oh, the food! Listen, I'm a sucker for good food, and the dining at Jasayma Tayrona absolutely delivered (mostly). Restaurants? Yes, plural! Breakfast [buffet] was a solid start to the day, with Asian breakfast and Western breakfast options, which is a great touch. The Coffee shop was a daily ritual – strong, delicious coffee with a view? Yes, please!
The Restaurants themselves were a highlight, serving both Asian cuisine in restaurant and International cuisine in restaurant. I recommend a few meals a day in the restaurant. The Bar had some yummy cocktails during Happy hour. Oh, and the Poolside bar for a casual meal. The Soup in restaurant was delicious.
Room Service [24-hour]: I'm a notorious late-night snacker. So, thank you, room service, for 24-hour access to snacks, drinks, and whatever other minor cravings that hit.
The Bungalows: My Sanctuary (Mostly)
The bungalows themselves? Air conditioning, Free Wi-Fi, and a seating area. Additional toilet! The basic stuff, they got it. But let me be honest: it’s not the Ritz. The bungalow was clean (mostly), comfortable enough, and the bed was a dream.
The Window that opens was a huge selling point for me. I love fresh air! The Blackout curtains were amazing for sleeping in, but you really wouldn't want to, with the view!
My personal favorite? The Coffee/tea maker in the room. Because let’s be honest, who wants to get fully dressed before their first coffee?
Things That Need a Little Love (Like, a Lot of Love):
The Wi-Fi. Although the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is listed, the connection I had was spotty. It was very frustrating. Internet access – wireless was a challenge. Plan to disconnect and embrace a digital detox and the fact that you may need to go get a coffee to get a good connection. Internet services. This is something they definitely need to look at!!
Services and Conveniences: The Good, the Bad, and the "Oh, Okay."
Concierge: Helpful. Always. They arranged my Airport transfer, which was smooth and easy. Laundry service: Convenient. Cash withdrawal: No ATM on sight, but you can do this with the concierge. Dry cleaning: Yes.
For the Kids (And the Inner Child):
The resort seemed Family/child friendly. They have Babysitting service. So yes, kids are welcome. They even have Kids meal, so the whole family is covered.
Booking Advice (My Two Cents):
- Book directly with the hotel. Sometimes you’ll get the best deals.
- Pack light, or take advantage of the Laundry service.
Final Verdict: Is Escape to Paradise a Dream?
Look, Jasayma Tayrona is not perfect. There are imperfections! But it's charming. It's relaxing. And that view? THAT VIEW makes it all worthwhile. If you're looking for a luxurious, flawlessly accessible resort, this isn't it.
Here’s My Absolutely Honest Recommendation:
Jasayma is the kind of place where you can lose yourself, forget about the real world for a while, and reconnect with nature and yourself. The food is incredible. The spa is pure bliss. And the views? They are worth their weight in gold. So, are you going to Escape to Paradise? YES.

Escape to Paradise: Home Place Lodge & Suites, Williston (ND) Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip, we're living one. We're heading to Jasayma Tayrona in Bungalow Parque Tayrona, Colombia, and believe me, things are about to get gloriously, wonderfully messy. Prepare for a schedule that's less "Swiss watch precision" and more "wobbly-legged flamingo on a sugar rush."
Day 1: Arrival, Reality Check, and the Curse of the Mosquitoes
10:00 AM (ish): Land in Santa Marta. "Arrival." Yeah, right. More like "Discombobulated Vomiting of Luggage at the Airport." The heat hits you like a wet, hairy hug from a very enthusiastic donkey. And the humidity? Forget it. You'll feel like you're swimming in a rainforest cloud. My camera strap is already sticking to my sweaty neck. Great start.
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Taxi ride from Santa Marta to the park entrance. Buckle up for a bumpy ride; Colombian roads have a personality all their own. I'm already regretting my "cute" sundress. It's going to be a sweatshow.
- Anecdote: The taxi driver, bless his soul, kept blasting reggaeton that was so loud, my fillings vibrated. Tried to casually hint at a lower volume, but, you know, language barriers and all that. Eventually, I just embraced the rhythm. My soul might now be 20% reggaeton.
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Check-in at the park entrance and a brief orientation. Or attempted brief orientation. Let's just say, between the Spanish, the sheer number of people, and the swarm of biting insects already making their presence known, I understood about 30% of what was said. The mosquitoes are relentless. I'm pretty sure one just landed on my eyebrow… Nope, wait. It's a bite. Ouch.
- Emotional Reaction: Already feeling a bit overwhelmed and a lot itchy. "This is paradise," they said. "Relaxing," they said. Lies, all lies! I’m seriously considering building a mosquito net fort right here.
2:00 PM - 3:30 PM: Hike to the bungalow. The journey is beautiful, but the heat is already winning. The jungle is overwhelmingly lush and green. Everywhere you look, there are massive trees, calling birds, and what looks like… a really giant, fluffy banana spider? Oh. Nope. Just a tree. Never mind.
- Quirky Observation: Did you know a sloth walks on average 60 feet per hour? I think I’m faster than that. (Said whilst stopping every few minutes to wipe the sweat from my forehead.)
3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Settle into the bungalow. Okay, finally. It's rustic. Very rustic. The walls are open to the elements, which is both beautiful and a bit terrifying. More mosquitoes, I'm calling it.
- Imperfection: I discovered the shower only had cold water after I already got soapy. I now resemble an ice cube, shuddering and swearing about the joys of equatorial heat.
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Exploring the area around the Bungalow. This is where the magic hopefully begins. Taking a stroll, finding the best hammock spot, and hoping I've packed enough bug spray.
- Mood: Uneasy but optimistic.
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner. Hopefully, it's not the food poisoning kind of tropical paradise moment. I'm praying for something besides fried plantains.
- Rambling Thought: Maybe I should've opted for less of an "authentic" experience. Maybe a slightly less remote, air conditioned bunker? No. Too late.
Day 2: Beach Bliss (Or At Least, Beach Adjacent)
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Attempt breakfast, hopefully more like a decent breakfast.
- Emotional Reaction: Already battling the anxiety that comes from being away from the comforts of my own home.
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Hike to a beach (or two). This is what I came for. The postcard-worthy beaches. The turquoise water. The… hopefully, not too many more mosquitoes.
- Experience Doubling Down: The hike is long and arduous, but the reward… oh, the reward! Pueblito, here we come. It's a stunning hike, the sounds of the jungle change from the jungle to the crashing of waves, the birds, and the sun. When we finally arrive at Arrecifes beach it's a dream. The sand is white, the water is crystal clear. And the waves? Magnificent. We ended up spending a bit longer here, just lying on the beach, watching the waves. I swam, and then the waves changed.
- Rambling Thought: I was absolutely terrified. The swell was brutal, the water was pulling me out, the waves were crashing everywhere. A near-death experience. Which I did not think would happen in Colombia.
- Opinionated Language: This beach is a total must-see.
- Experience Doubling Down: The hike is long and arduous, but the reward… oh, the reward! Pueblito, here we come. It's a stunning hike, the sounds of the jungle change from the jungle to the crashing of waves, the birds, and the sun. When we finally arrive at Arrecifes beach it's a dream. The sand is white, the water is crystal clear. And the waves? Magnificent. We ended up spending a bit longer here, just lying on the beach, watching the waves. I swam, and then the waves changed.
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch and relaxation. Food, hopefully, is better this time.
- Messy Structure: Lunch. On the Beach. Amazing. We saw some monkeys and gave them their space. I feel like my mental health improved by 7x just from seeing them.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: More beach time…or a nap. I'm leaning towards the nap option. I might be sunburnt.
- Opinionated Language: Beach time? The absolute best kind of time. Just don't forget the sunscreen, people! Oh, and maybe a hat.
- Emotional Reaction: Overjoyed and content. Exhausted but still smiling. I have found the meaning of life.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Hike back to the bungalow. Which will hopefully be easier than the trek in the morning.
- Imperfection: My legs feel like jelly now after all that hiking. I need water.
- Quirky Observation: The monkeys here have excellent taste in fruit.
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner at the bungalow.
- Rambling Thought: Tonight, I will finally master the art of applying mosquito repellent without accidentally inhaling it.
Day 3: Departure (and the Battle for Sanity)
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Last attempt before leaving. I'm going to be so excited for a normal-sized hot cup of coffee in the morning.
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Pack and prepare for departure.
- Messy Structure: This is a bittersweet moment.
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Hike back to the park entrance. Goodbye, jungle.
- Stronger emotional reactions: I would be lying if I said I didn't shed a single tear.
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Transfer to Santa Marta, I am praying my taxi driver isn't the same one.
- Emotional Reaction: The sheer joy of an air-conditioned taxi ride is immeasurable.
2:00 PM onwards: Head to the airport, which means the trip must end.
- Opinionated Language: Goodbye Colombia
- Final thought: This trip was a wild ride, full of beauty, bugs, and a whole lot of "holy heck, what have I gotten myself into?" I wouldn't trade it for anything. (Except maybe a slightly more comfortable bed and a personal mosquito repellent applicator.)
This is just a framework, of course. You'll encounter your own adventures, your own frustrations, your own moments of pure, unadulterated bliss. Embrace the mess, the imperfections, and the unexpected. You'll return with stories you'll be telling for years to come. Good luck, and remember to pack a sense of humor! And maybe extra bug spray. Seriously.

Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Jasayma Tayrona Bungalow! (My Brain Dump Edition)
Is this place... *actually* paradise? Or is it just Instagram lying to me again?
Okay, deep breaths. Paradise? Look, it's complicated. The photos? They're real. The turquoise water? Yep. The jungle teeming with life? Absolutely. But paradise, for me, involves a *lot* less sweat and the occasional functioning wifi. (Spoiler alert: the wifi is... well, let's just say it's a philosophical concept rather than a readily available luxury.)
The first day? Pure, unadulterated *bliss*. Woke up to the sound of monkeys doing their morning karaoke routine. Coffee on the porch, staring at the ocean... thought I'd peaked. Then, about lunchtime, the humidity hit. And the ants. Oh, the *ants*. They’re basically tiny, highly-organized demolition crews. So, paradise? Kinda. But also... rustic. Very rustic. (And bring ant spray, TRUST me.)
What’s the bungalow *actually* like? Does it leak? Does it have like... electricity?
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. The bungalow itself? Picture a slightly more glamorous version of a posh treehouse. That's the vibe. It's all wood, open-air (which is amazing… until a thunderstorm rolls in and you feel like you’re practically part of the elements).
Electricity? Technically, yes. Realistically? It's a bit of a crapshoot. They have solar power, which is great for the environment and terrible for your phone addiction. Charge everything *before* you leave. And pack a flashlight. Trust me on this. I spent one night convinced a particularly large gecko was plotting my demise because I couldn’t find the damn light switch. (Turns out, it just *really* liked the shadow puppets my hand was making.)
And the leaks? Oh, sweet heavens. Yes, it leaks. Like a sieve. Embrace it. It rained one night so ferociously, I swear I heard the roof creak in protest. Water came in, a bit, but I was so comfortable I barely noticed. In a way, I felt connected to the environment, it was so refreshing. The rain did get my stuff a little wet though.
How do I *get* to this 'remote' paradise? Is it as arduous as it sounds?
Okay, the journey. Buckle up, buttercup. It's not *difficult*, per se, but it’s a series of small adventures, mostly involving sweating. You fly into Santa Marta (not an airport I'd recommend lingering at, btw. The air conditioning is... questionable). Then, you take a taxi, the taxi driver is a funny guy. Then the road does a lot of bumpy things, past cows and some sleepy villages . Then, you walk! (Which is the best part). It is a good walk. Just be prepared for the humidity to hit you like a brick wall. Seriously, pack light, and bring more water than you think you need.
The walk through the park? Spectacular. Jaw-droppingly beautiful. You'll pass through dense jungle, along the beach, around rocks. But it is not a walk in the park, I can say that. After that, you'll take a horse to the bungalows (if you get lucky, otherwise, more walking!). After reaching the bungalows, the sheer weightlessness you feel is amazing, just remember to take it slow!
The food… Do I have to prepare for some serious jungle cuisine? Are there snakes in the kitchen?
Food situation? Actually, pretty decent! There's a restaurant, which is about a five-minute stumble away from the bungalow. Don’t expect Michelin stars, but the food is fresh, tasty, and incredibly welcome after a day of hiking/sweating/battling with ants. They do amazing fish. Amazing! And the fruit… oh, the fruit. Mangoes that explode with flavour. Pineapples that taste like sunshine. I swear, I ate my weight in fruit.
Snakes in the kitchen? I didn't see any (thankfully). But you're in the jungle, so... anything's possible. My advice? Don't go looking for them. Just enjoy the food and the view. And maybe keep an eye out for giant spiders… I saw one. It was... large.
What about the beaches? Are they as perfect as they look in the photos? And the crowds?
Okay, the moment of truth. The beaches. Yes. They are. They’re stunning. The sand is white, the water is clear, the waves are… well, perfect for splashing around in. There's a big one and many small ones. One is great for surfing. Another is just for sunbathing. Some even have some nice bar for the evening, offering cocktails and tasty snacks.
Crowds? Tayrona is popular, no lie. But the further you walk, the fewer people you see. There’s *always* a quiet spot, even during peak season. My advice? Get up early. Head to the beach with your coffee, and have it all to yourself for a blissful hour or two. Pure magic. Just… remember the sunscreen. I learned that lesson the hard way. Let's just say I looked like a lobster for a solid two days.
What should I pack that isn't on those generic online packing lists? The REAL essentials.
Okay, ditch the listicles. Here’s the REAL breakdown. Forget the fancy clothes. You won’t wear them.
- A good, reliable mosquito net. The one provided? Probably a bit… rustic. Bring your own. You’ll sleep soundly.
- A headlamp. Seriously. Game changer. For navigating the jungle at night, finding your way to the bathroom, and avoiding rogue geckos.
- A portable phone charger. Remember the electricity thing? Yeah.
- Trash bags. You're in a protected area – you have to carry *everything* out.
- A small first-aid kit. Band-aids, antiseptic wipes – you know the drill. (And maybe some anti-itch cream for the inevitable mosquito bites.)
- A good book. Or two.
- And most importantly: A sense of humour. Because things will go wrong. You *will* get bitten. You *will* sweat. Embrace the chaos. That’s part of the charm.
