Breakfast
Guests frequently describe the breakfast as very good, hearty and sufficient with some even calling it the best they had during their travels across Colombia. The restaurant itself receives praise for its fair pricing and delicious food with breakfast being no exception.
However, not all feedback is glowing. Some guests found the breakfast to be basic, uninspired or limited in options with occasional mentions of watery eggs and cold dishes.

However, reviews also highlight some downsides. While the restaurant's food is good, it is often deemed expensive, particularly given the campsite setting. There are mixed opinions about the value for money and some guests found the prices to be exorbitant. In some instances, guests reported delays in service with long waits for their orders.

In sum, Camping Tequendama Playa Arrecifes Parque Tayrona successfully merges the raw beauty of its natural setting with the comforts of well-prepared tents, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more refined camping adventure.
Beds
For hammock enthusiasts, the experience is a bit varied. While some guests appreciated the quality hammocks equipped with mosquito nets, many found them quite uncomfortable due to their small size and half-circle shape. The hammocks also tend to get chilly at night, so it’s advisable to bring warm clothes or an extra sheet to stay cozy.
The camp offers good beds in terms of comfort and the tents are well-received for their cleanliness and ample space. Although a few guests noted that the camping blankets were quite hard and the pillows had an occasional bit of a smell, the general sentiment remains positive towards the mattress quality, which many found thicker and more comfortable than expected.
While there were mentions of the occasional discomfort with hammocks, overall, the sleeping experience at Camping Tequendama Playa Arrecifes Parque Tayrona is generally positive, particularly for those staying in tents.
Cleanliness
However, the maintenance and cleanliness of the bathroom and shower facilities do have varied feedback. Some guests find the bathrooms clean and accepting, while others feel they could benefit from more frequent and effective cleaning, particularly during busier times and at night. There were mentions of bathrooms sometimes running out of essential supplies like toilet paper and soap, as well as issues with clogged toilets and not-so-clean shower areas.
In general, while the tents and overall campsite cleanliness receive high marks, the bathrooms and showers are the primary areas noted for needing improvement to match the rest of the site's standards consistently.
