On Vacation Wayira Beach

This is regrettably the 3rd time I've had to stay in an On Vacation property - every single time the net signal over WiFi is almost non-existent and no one on the staff knows how to fix it or cares about complaints. Multiple times this has caused huge frustration when trying to work, and it simply isn't a priority for the chain. This time I've also had severe stomach upsets after a single day of eating the all inclusive food (and sticking to bottled water) - after travelling around Colombia for nearly 2 months without a problem, including other hotels in the same region. On Vacation is the very definition of "stack them high and cheap" - with disinterested staff and a consistently poor experience for guests trying to get work done while travelling. We were also stuck in a room at the further end of the sprawling complex, which makes travelling from the room to the beach a pain. The rooms are cute indigenous style cabinas - but this also serves as an excuse for gaping holes in the doors so that they're filled with mosquitoes every night (obviously, as the cabinas are right next to water ponds). The beach is nicely presented, with soft bulb lights every where, and plenty of space for everyone. The evening entertainment is above average, but be prepared for an overdose of Vallenato music - not my taste but it originates from this region. Cocktails are reasonably priced (~25k COP), beers a little expensive (8k COP). Their recommended Chiba party bus is very over priced at ~110k COP (compared with typical prices of ~30k), has no room to dance, feels more like a no-frills bus to the local town. The brochure claims cards are accepted, but all the bars I went to required payment in cash. I'll be doing my best to avoid On Vacation in future - the cheap offers aren't worth the connectivity and food frustrations.

If you don’t have transportation to airport is not a good place to stay, staff was not helpful

It was not a pleasant experience. The infrastructure of the hotel is low quality and the customer service is 3 stars out of 10 specially of the administration. Would not recommend this hotel at all. The food is very low quality and the liquor bar has got to be the worst bar in Colombia. I’m not negative person, yet in this occasion I wish someone would of write a review like so before I invested my money.

Let the HUNGER GAMES start! estuvimos del 17 de Junio hasta el 21 de Junio en el Bungalow de On Vacation hotel Wayira. Tuvimos las peores vacaciones de nuestra vida allí y cuando regresamos estuvimos felices de no tener que volver. aquí algunos puntos sobre lo bueno y lo malo. HABITACIONES: las habitaciones son limpias, comodas y muy bien decoradas. UBICACIÓN: los bungalows están a approx. 400 metros de la playa y de la reception. alrededor no hay nada solo desierto, por lo tanto si se desean hacer compras, se deben hacer el en único mercado del hotel. SUPERMERCADO este mercado tiene precios de usura. una crema bloqueadora cuesta 95.000 COP. (el tarro pequenho) la cerveza de lata cuesta 9.000 COP. las empanadas a 9.000 COP ningún articulo tiene el precio visible, así que da la sensación que cambian los precios dependiendo de la persona... mi amigo es alemán y a él solo le daban precios extremadamente altos!!! ah, un encendedor cuesta 4.000 COP así que si desean ir allí, mejor lleven una maleta con bebidas y comidas o suficiente dinero. SERVICIO: los asesores en la recepción no dan respuestas a las preguntas, solo dan evasivas. para comprar una cerveza de 9.000 COP en efectivo te preguntan el número de habitacíon y el nombre (?) INSTALACIONES en todas las instalaciones solo hay sillas en los bares donde se debe pagar. si no consumes, no te puedes sentar. solo hay tres suministros de agua potable (siempre vacios) solo hay dos dispensadores de jugos pero nunca hay vasos... TODO INCLUIDO es una estafa COMIDA INCLUIDA solo hay dos puestos de Buffet para más de 1.000 personas. esto hace que las personas sean muy agresivas al momento de hacer filas para el desayuno, almuerzo y comida. a las 12 del dia empieza el almuerzo y unicamente ponen 16 tazas para sopa. cuando no hay más tazas, nadie pone más a disposición. ya sea desayuno, almuerzo o comida, es toda una travesia poder conseguir algo de comer. RESTAURANTE A LA CARTA los empleados de ese restaurante tienen un muy mal servicio. te atiende desde la puerta y lo primero que te dicen es que ahí toca pagar. Naturalmente, si es a la carta, yo sé que me toca pagar. hice una reservación para una cena y los meseros ni sabian que venden. ("Jugos en leche ? eehhh sí tenemos limonada ") el jugo de mango en leche (vaso pequenhito, casi miniatura) a 25.000 COP. el resto del jugo se lo toman los empleados (lol) nosotros pedimos un jugo de mango en leche y todos los empleados tomaron con nosotros ... gracias. :D las entradas y el plato fuerte no estuvieron mal. pero los precios son casi europeos. se paga por una entrada fácilmente 5 Euros y por el plato fuerte 10 Euros (haciendo la conversión) barren mientras los huespedes estan comiendo (?) AGUA en el paseo todo incluido se puede tener bebidas sin o con alcohol. nosotros pedimos solo bebidas sin alcohol. solo hay TRES suministros de agua en todo el hotel para tanto turistas como para empleados. los trabajadores tenia que hacer fila para

This was our second visit. Our first visit in February 2022 we stayed in what was basically a re-purposed shipping container which they refer to it as rancheria. This time we stayed in a bungalow. These are newer structures with a very attractive layout. There is a sliding glass door in front with a hammock set up, there is also an open air shower which I had never experienced before. The bungalow was very comfortable and everything work well. The food there was OK to good end. They have dialed back the free alcohol. There is a Bar beside the pool where you could buy drinks. However, there were several times where the bar was in able to make a common drink that we wanted to order. At the front desk they make a big deal out of the blue towels for the pool with the little coupons. You have to bring back for them. I think that’s kind of ridiculous and they need to just relax about that. The little mini market is great. They have so many things in there that you might need. They also have food service. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. And even the vacation club sales people were not so hard-core. The tours and activities are great. Unfortunately the helicopter tours were withdrawn a few days before we arrived. since our last visit, the facility has constructed numerous new bungalows. This is great because the rancherias should be sold, and turned back into shipping containers, and they should build more bungalows where the rancherias were situated.

I thought it was a very nice experience in this place since I spent it with my family and friends, the excellent food has very good attention, its aterdeseres are very nice, the beach is spectacular..

My experience was good. The wayira beach hotel has a beautiful architecture inspired by the representative ethnic group of the department of La Guajira-Colombia, from its beach you can see the beautiful Guajiro sunset and it has good customer service.

One of the best hotels located here in La Guajira that offers a variety of products that will make you feel satisfied, They also have a restaurant that provides exquisite dishes from the area. Here in this hotel you can enjoy activities such as horseback riding, ATVs, bathing in pools

I loved the hotel, it has a great variety of colors in its designs, more than a rest and fun trip, it was a trip to connect with the culture and customs of the guajira. The hotel staff was very friendly.
