It was a great place to stay, with the benefit of a mountain location and easy access to town by taking a shortcut on the property. Note that it is a good uphill hike back from town. A taxi or tuk-tuk may be a better idea coming back at night. Our room was next to the parking lot and was noisy as trucks and cars came in and out. It was the building right beside the main building. They have more secluded units that I would encourage you to get. I recommend this place.

Overall a great stay at a beautiful location. The rooms are not quite as private as they look on the booking site and their website, but otherwise a great experience.

A very beautiful, cozy, tip top service retreat just outside Salento. Super service and local food - we really enjoyed it!
One wish - a little improvemet on the wifi would be nice - but we would still rate the place as a 5 star

Probably one of the best hotels I have stayed at. Staff is super friendly and helpful, rooms are clean, spacious and have a view of the beautiful valley and mountains. Also I highly recommend the massages, they are extremely good and are cheap (100-150k COP). The dinner and breakfast are also delicious so eat a night at the hotel. The hot tub provides great views and is so good after a hike.
