Fodor's Expert Review La Sirena
La Guajira, Colombia
This attractive beachside eco-lodge is built around the principles of slow tourism and provides a wonderful place to lay your head within easy earshot of the waves. Rooms are light and spacious, with a rustic, locally influenced design that incorporates plenty of bamboo and palm thatching and is cooled using natural ventilation spaces between the roof and the walls. Bathrooms are a treat, with the shower open to the sky, surrounded by plants that soak up and then purify the runoff water.
