It was during our 2016 trip that we discovered the Punta Caribana hotel. We first met Eylin, the owners’ daughter, who made us fall under Necocli’ s spell.
Then it was her parents, Cruz and Wilberto, who took great care of us and made us feel right at home. We returned this summer and were delighted to confirm that this small, family-run hotel is one of the best options for a pleasant stay in Necocli.
Hospitality is undoubtedly the strong point of Hotel Punta Caribana, and we recommend it with our eyes closed.

How are the rooms like?
Hotel Punta Caribana in Necocli
Hotel Punta Caribana offers rooms with a common, simple but pleasant decor theme. All are comfortable and well-bedded.
The rooms on the ground floor and close to the garden are lovely, quiet and bright. Each time we stayed, our room had a large double bed, a bench that could be converted into an extra bed, and a bathroom.
On our 1st stay, our room had a fan, and a door with a built-in mosquito net opened onto a nice little balcony overlooking the street. The heat at night was quite bearable and pleasant.
During our 2nd stay, we tried out the new rooms overlooking the garden, which are nicely sized and have air-conditioning.

How to book
Hotel Punta Caribana
To book a room at Hotel Punta Caribana, you can either use the Booking website or contact Cruz and Wilberto directly using the form below.
Hi! Thank you so much for your blog, it has been the most useful resource in my research to plan an upcoming trip to Colombia. We would like to book with Hotel Punta Caribana during our stay in Necocli in early April and want to use the form on your site to support all your work and help. In the “How to Book” box I see a link to booking.com, and then it says we can contact Cruz and Wilberto directly in the form below but I don’t see a form. Is there still a way to contact them directly by form? I’d prefer to do that through your site, rather than using the booking.com link.
Also, we are interested in seeing the sea turtle protection project as mentioned in your Necocli article – does this require an overnight stay in Lechugal?
Hello Rachel! Thanks for your kind words! Sorry about this issue with the contact form, now you should be able to see it and use it. Regarding the turtle protection project, you can contact ACAETUR directly with the whatsapp number we provide in our post “Necocli Travel Guide”, or you can organise it with Cryz and Wiberto (and Eylin their daughter) directly when you are in Necocli. But yes usually it’s a plan that need an overnight stay in Lechugal to go walk on the beach by night.
Thank you for your reply! With the overnight stay, do you know if it’s possible to get from Lechugal to Necocli in time for the 8am lancha to Capurganá?
Those are details we can’t provide, sorry ! You should contact ACAETUR directly or Punta Caribana, they will provide you more information.
