Hotels In Coveña

I'm going to Coveña at the end of this month for the first time. On the internet I could only find two hotels close to the beach - Amanecer and Nitana. Nitana looks like the better of the two. Has anybody had any experience with these or other hotels in Coveña?

Ok no problem lovely beaches there but the vendedores are a bit of a nuisance ,not as bad as Cartagena though,you must visit the San Bernadino Islands lovely on the way back there is reputedly the most populated Island in the world I forget the name & my Camera batteries went flat so couldn't take a pic of them have fun!.

Great advice, thanks. I'm disappointed to hear they have the vendadores there as well. It should be interesting.

I looked at the website. It apparently isn't a hotel. Is it a private club? It looks beautiful. Is it on the beach?

makopp5 (☼Travelguide writer) says on Oct 3, 2009, 15:50:

yes, there are 36 cabañas at the beach, 50 m or so from your bed to the beach.

Is it available to the public? If so how can I contact them? There doesn't seem to be a way on the website.

that are timeshare properties, which they rent when the owners didn`t use them. In the week when you wnat to go is nothing avaiable. I wanted to go there because my sister is coming from Germany. Now we go the week I mentioned. Perhabs we have a room avaiable, I just have to wait if a friend will come with us.

La Fragata rings a bell between Covanas and Tulu. Chances are this is one of the nicest places there. We were there for a weekend back in March - I don't rememeber specifics but I believe for 4 people for 3 days / 2 nights including booze I paid around 400,000 pesos.
