With outdoor pools, a gym, tennis court, on-site dining and a bar, it's the kind of resort built for relaxed, repeat family holidays rather than big-city sightseeing. If you own a week here, or you're weighing up buying or renting one, here's what the facts actually tell you.

The Resort & Setting
Guadaira Resort is an independent timeshare property affiliated with RCI, set in Melgar — a short trip from Bogotá and a favourite escape from the capital for Colombians thanks to its warm, low-altitude climate. Google reviewers (3.9 out of 5 from over 1,800 ratings) describe bright, simple rooms in a casual hotel-style setting, with an on-site restaurant and bar, outdoor pools, a gym and a tennis court. It's not a glossy resort complex — it's a straightforward, comfortable base for families who want pool time, a drink by the water and easy access to Melgar's hot springs without much fuss.
The Area & Things to Do
Melgar's main draw is right on its doorstep: the town is one of Colombia's best-known thermal spa destinations, with natural hot springs and wellness facilities that operate year-round and draw visitors from Bogotá and beyond, especially during Colombian school holidays. Beyond the springs, the wider Tolima region offers a taste of Colombia's coffee country, with plantation visits and countryside worth a day trip. Ibagué, Tolima's capital, is about 45km away and makes for a reasonable outing if you want more restaurants, shops and a change of pace from resort life.
Selling or Renting a Week Here
Guadaira Resort is an independent property, so resale and transfers run through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded developer process — RCI affiliation covers the exchange side, not the resale paperwork. Before agreeing a price with any buyer, ask the resort's owners' association directly for two things: the current transfer fee for putting the week in a new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since neither figure is published by RCI itself. A typical resale buyer takes over the deeded or leasehold week and whatever RCI exchange access comes attached to it, but not any back dues, so confirm the account is clear before closing.
Listing your week on BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner process: you set your own asking price, pay a one-time listing fee to publish, and we charge 0% commission on the sale — buyers contact you directly through the platform to arrange details and the transfer. The same applies if you'd rather rent out a specific year's use instead of selling outright; just be upfront in your listing about what's included (unit type, season, and whether RCI exchange rights transfer with it).
Practical Notes for Buyers & Renters
Renters and buyers looking at Guadaira Resort are usually after the same thing: reliable access to Melgar's thermal springs plus simple on-site amenities (pool, gym, tennis, dining) without big-city prices. Because Melgar is best reached by private car or an arranged transfer rather than public transport, factor that into your trip planning — it's not a resort you stumble into on a whim. If exchanging in through RCI, book well ahead to get the dates and unit type you want, particularly around Colombian school holiday periods when local demand for the springs peaks.
Exchange Network
As an RCI-affiliated resort, a confirmed week at Guadaira Resort can be deposited into RCI for exchange against other affiliated resorts worldwide, or you can simply use your week on-site. Buyers should confirm with the seller or the owners' association that RCI affiliation and any membership account are active and transferable before completing a purchase.

Travel Tips
Melgar's thermal springs run year-round, but if you want a quieter visit, avoid Colombian school holiday weeks when locals flock in from Bogotá. Plan your transport ahead of time, as Melgar is best reached by private car or an arranged transfer rather than public transit. Pack light, breathable clothing for warm, humid weather, and don't expect much need for Spanish in the tourist-facing parts of town, though a little goes a long way with locals.
