Casa Amarilla

Top choice in Caribbean Coast


This beautiful hotel was created by a British journalist and his momposina wife inside a restored 17th-century mansion overlooking the river. It has several wonderfully atmospheric rooms, as well as a couple of roomy upstairs suites that are perfect for romantic stays. Breakfast is a communal affair served up on a large dining table overlooking the courtyard garden.

Staff members speak English, are a mine of useful information about Mompós, and will do their very best to make you feel totally at home. Reservations advised.
