The place is stunning and perfectly positioned to explore Tayrona park and its surroundings. The staff was always kind and welcoming and Katherine went abive and beyond to ensure we had the perfect stay. If you are visiting the area there’s no better place to stay.
Lo mejor el personal y el restaurante
El lloc, increible. La nostre habitacio tenia un balco des d' on es veia la posta de sol amb el so de la jungla com acompanyant..Pau absoluta.. Les instal.lacions i les habitacions, decorades amb molt.de gust. Lavabos molt originals. Jardi exhuberant. Personal increible i cuina, brutal. Un menjar exquisit..un 10 a les cuineres. Tambe tenen un riu al costat en el.que el pots banyar que es una maravella de la natura
Estava aillat i seria bo que l hotel tingues a disposicio dels clients un sistema per moure's Bicicletes o motos a disposicio seria perfecte.Tambe, el preu dela serveis de spa eren molt cars entenent on esta ubicat hotel.
Amazing place!
Nothing! Everything and everyone is perfect! Mylo 🔝🔝🔝
Super schöne Anlage, alles organic, leckeres Essen. Man kommt sehr gut runter und kann gut relaxen.
Die Preise für Drinks und Essen sind etwas teuer, ist aber okay :)
The place is very well curated with care and good taste. It’s an option that is super close by of Tayrona Park and gives you an immersion in nature and side by side with the river, which is very clean and perfect for enjoy. The garden is amazing also the cabanas. Service is kind.
The food is suuuuuuper slow, if you planing arrive early on Tayrona consider skip breakfast otherwise you will be late. If you have problems with frogs and this type of animals, maybe is not the place for you, it’s really nature.
Salvia Madre is een oase van rust, midden in de natuur en afgelegen van de drukke plekken. Het eten is er heerlijk en de villa waar we in verbleven was van alle gemakken voorzien. Een heerlijk bed, een goede keuken met alle faciliteiten en een mooi balkon met fantastisch uitzicht. Je kan echt zien dat de hosts er alles aan doen om het voor de gasten zo mooi mogelijk te maken
Es un lugar muy tranquilo al lado del rio Guachaca que se puede acceder caminando a poca distancia, muy aconsejable pafa familias! y quien quiera disfrutar de la naturaleza
La integración con la naturaleza. La comida y sus ingredientes
No tengo quejas
Insgesamt eine tolle Unterkunft, wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Die Anlage ist schön gestaltet, die Hütten/Unterkünfte sind gut ausgestattet. Das Bett ist gemütlich und groß, es gibt Moskito-Netze. Freiluft-Bad und -Dusche, was uns gefallen hat bei den Temperaturen. Das Personal ist freundlich, die Atmosphäre entspannt und familiär. Das Bistro/Restaurant auf der Anlage macht leckere Sachen.
Die Lage könnte nicht für alle ideal passen. Man ist fernab vom Meer (nicht fußläufig) und brauch praktisch für jeden Ausflug ein Taxi / Motorrad-Taxi, um vom Fleck zu kommen. Zudem wäre ein Pool auf der Anlage sehr schön und der Zugang zum Fluss könnte schöner gestaltet sein. Das ist aber klagen auf hohem Niveau, insgesamt eine sehr schöne Unterkunft.
Nos gusto todo, el lugar es bellisimo, cuidado con amor, los espacios comunes son muy agradables, el Ambiente es calido, cercano y familiar, el personal es muy amable y hacen todo por hacerte sentir en casa. Nos ayudaron a planear visitas a lugares, siempre respondieron amablemente a nuestras preguntas. La comida era deliciosa con valores acorde a lo que se pfeece en general en los restoranes y con una calidad buenisima. Los desayunos era deliciosos y abundantes, todo siempre muy fresco. Las camas son comodas, nuestra habitacion era perfecta para nosotros y nuestro hijo de 11 años. El podia bajar solo a comer algo y ver una pelicula en el espacio comunitario sin ningun peligro y eso era muy agradable para darnos espacio tranquilos. Lo recomiendo absolutamente y si vuelvo a la Sierra Nevada sin duda sera a Salvia Madre.
Nada
Nuestra estadía en Salvia Madre ha sido un sueño, este hermoso lugar en el medio de la selva nos permitió desconectar completamente y disfrutar profundamente de la naturaleza Colombiana. Las instalaciones son impecables, limpias, las camas cómodas, sin mencionar el entorno con distintos acceso al río Guachaca y las cascadas. Cariños para los dueños de Salvia Madre y el divino personal que contribuyeron a que nuestra estadía fuera tan linda. Gracias 🙏 recomiendo 1000%
Nous avons adoré l’accueil chaleureux, le confort et la tranquillité de cet hôtel. Un grand merci à Yari pour ces nombreux conseils et sa disponibilité !
La distance entre les bus et l’hôtel.
El hotel es precioso, está completamente rodeado de naturaleza. Me hospedé en la cabaña Pasiflora. Desde el hotel puedes ir al río caminando y también puedes hacer un corto hiking de 20-30min para ir al Pozo de la Burra, un lugar hermoso de agua cristalina, no necesitas salir del ambiente natural para llegar a estos lugares. Los desayunos incluidos son deliciosos y en buenas cantidades. La comida en general está muy rica, en su mayoría sin gluten y sin azúcar. Es eco friendly, por lo que no hay uso de plástico ni desechables. Fui con mis dos perros y me gustó mucho que sea 100% pet friendly, hice hiking con ellos a la cascada el Saltillo y fuimos al río, también disfrutaron mucho el lugar.
El camino de ingreso a la vereda y para alcanzar el hotel es un poco complicado pero vale totalmente la pena. Si vas en carro propio es recomendable revisar que no llueva ya que no podría avanzar por el lodo (si es un carro corriente y bajo).
La energía del lugar y la prioridad de los dueños por hacer sentir bien a mi familia.
No tengo ningún comentario negativo.
Es un lugar súper lindo, agradable para estar desconectado y conectar con la naturaleza. Tiene el río muy cerca y eso es increíble. El cuarto es súper lindo y está muy bien equipada la cocina. No la use mucho pero ideal para quien quiere cocinarse unos días. Las chicas muy queridas y atentas!
Me hubiera gustado que a la habitación le entrará más luz natural y así mismo poder hacia afuera desde el segundo piso, pero las ramas del techo están muy largas y no permiten ver hacia afuera. Sería bueno tener más actividades dentro del hotel que uno pueda disfrutar. Pensé que habrían clases de yoga o algo y no.
Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, tienen todo el estilo y los detalles las hacen especiales. La atención de los anfitriones son magníficas ! Y los desayunos y los sanduches uf ! Hay un río cerca muy bello!
Los mosquitos jeje (llevar repelente)
Todo el servicio, atención e instalaciones cumplieron las expectativas.
Mejorar la atención en el portón para el ingreso y salida.
My stay at this place was far beyond a regular vacation. It was a deep experience of truly disconnecting from routine and reconnecting with nature, with quiet, and with simplicity. The atmosphere allows you to pause, breathe, and feel something different. Cleaner, calmer and simple. What really makes this place special is the people. An exceptional team, caring and full of heart. Alejandra was simply wonderful. Warm, kind, and always attentive to the small details. Catherine showed impressive professionalism and handled every request quickly and thoroughly. And Alba… no words. Her food is an experience in itself. Creative, rich in flavor, and truly unforgettable. Thank you for a real experience, one that stays with me long after you leave.
Una bonita combinacion con el ambiente natural y la tranquilidad. Excelente atención, son muy atentos y amables.
Me encantó todo. Descansé muchisimo. Viajé sola y me sentí muy segura. La comida espectacular.
La cabaña es un poco húmeda pero es por que ahí es muy selvático. Hay muchas plantas pero todas las instalaciones funcionan muy bien.
El ambiente del hotel único con decoración tipo wellness, tranquilidad y comida excelente
La vía de acceso un poco complicada para un carro pequeño.
La experiencia es impecable. Te reciben con una bebida de bienvenida y una excelente actitud. Es un lugar realmente pensado en la experiencia de cada huésped. Todo el personal tiene una energía increíble que hacen querer volver. Gracias Katherine, Cindy y Diana por hacer de nuestra experiencia algo inolvidable.
Todo perfecto. Un lugar inmejorable.
Un hotel increíble en plena naturaleza, ubicado a aproximadamente 1h20 del aeropuerto de Santa Marta. Se percibe en cada detalle que los dueños han construido este lugar con mucho amor y una visión muy especial. El entorno es simplemente espectacular: un verdadero paraíso natural que cuidan con gran dedicación. La habitación en la que nos alojamos era perfecta para dos personas, muy limpia y cómoda, ideal para descansar plenamente. La comida del restaurante es deliciosa, con ingredientes frescos, de excelente calidad y preparados con mucho cuidado. El personal es excepcionalmente amable; queremos destacar especialmente a Katherine y Diana, siempre atentas y dispuestas a ayudar en todo momento. En resumen, es un lugar totalmente recomendado para desconectarse, recargar energía y disfrutar de un entorno natural único.
Un día el agua de la habitación salió amarilla pero entendemos que es un problema de la zona y no del lugar en particular.
Todo es realmente hermoso, limpio, se siente una paz increíble, es el lugar ideal para descansar.
Considero que los precios de la comida son un poco elevados, está deliciosa pero si un poco elevado el precio.
Super freundliches Personal und sehr leckeres Essen - Die Lebensmittel waren immer frisch und aus dem eigenem Garten. Die Atmosphäre war sehr relaxed und die Anlage sehr gepflegt und sauber. Eine sehr tolle Unterkunft, mit reibungsloser Kommunikation und sehr guter Organisation.
Es un lugar hermoso y muy acogedor
Lo peor es que indicaba que tenía aire acondicionado y en verdad solo tenía ventilador
Enamorados de su jardín, de su personal, de su restaurante, sus infusiones naturales, limpieza, tranquilidad... Después de días duros de trekking lo recordamos con muchísimo cariño. Cambiamos de habitación para poder dormir en una cabaña preciosa. Les deseamos lo mejor. Gracias en especial a Lorena y a Diana!! Las recordamos con mucho amor!!
Está un pelín alejado de la carretera, pero la buseta pasa súper cerca y es un momentín bajar a pie, que no se asuste la gente que es un pim pam!!
Staff was absolutely amazing and very kind. The Breakfast was delicious. The river was very nice to cool off. The surrounding nature was breathtaking and the bungalow was also beautiful. There was a water filter in the facility.
The kitchen was missing a towel for wiping the counter
I recently stayed at Salvia Madre in Colombia and had a wonderful experience overall. The service was truly excellent — the staff were warm, attentive, and always willing to help, which made the stay feel very welcoming and relaxed. One of the highlights is the stunning natural setting. The accommodation is surrounded by beautiful nature, making it a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the peaceful environment. Waking up to the sounds of nature and the views around the property was really special. The restaurant also deserves a special mention. The food was delicious, fresh, and clearly prepared with care. It was a treat to be able to enjoy such good meals without leaving the property. One memorable detail was the access road: after a storm it had become quite adventurous to reach the accommodation. While it added a bit of excitement to the arrival, it also made the experience feel even more remote and immersed in nature. All in all, Salvia Madre is a lovely place to stay if you’re looking for great service, beautiful surroundings, and excellent food.
nothing!
Stay away from this place. I’ll start with the positives: the property is beautiful, and the photos reflect that accurately. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The experience is filled with issues that leave a very bitter aftertaste. The location is extremely isolated. To reach the hotel, you have to cross what feels like the muddiest road in South America and wade through an ankle-deep river. Unless you want to ruin your shoes, you’ll need to take a motorbike taxi every time you go in or out. The few drivers willing to make the trip are well aware of the situation and charge inflated prices. And you will find yourself going in and out often, as there is absolutely nothing to do on-site and no common areas to relax in apart from the restaurant. Upon arrival, when paying for your stay, you’re charged an additional 5% fee for paying by card on every transaction. The only way to avoid it is by carrying a few hundred euros worth of pesos in cash — which is neither practical nor advisable. The rooms lack very basic amenities: no hair dryer, no hot water (not a temporary issue — the property is designed without it), and towels are not changed regularly. The rooms are also full of insects due to poor sealing. If you book the “breakfast included” option, be aware that only the four cheapest items on the menu are covered. Lunch and dinner prices are comparable to those of a five-star restaurant in Europe, while the quality is nowhere near that level. On top of that, every order takes between 90 and 120 minutes to arrive. Even milk for coffee comes at an additional charge — despite having paid for breakfast. The overall feeling is that the hotel provides the bare minimum while trying to extract the maximum amount of money from guests. When we asked to use some mosquito repellent during check-in, we were refused and instead offered to buy a bottle for €10. There is zero generosity or hospitality.
El trato excelente del personal.
El acceso al lugar. No tiene agua caliente. Restaurante Limitado.
Es un jardín botánico con el río al lado. Muy cuidado, muy cariñosos. Excelente
Die sehr schöne Lage am Fluss, die superschöne Anlage, ein wunderbares Zimmer mit tollem Bergblick und das sehr freundliche Personal und sehr köstliches Essen.
Su esencia es muy esencial, naturaleza pura. El restaurante es buenísimo, al igual que su ubicación, instalaciones, vibra y entorno.
Todo me gustó
It was so nice! Every detail of it was amazing.
The staff and the facilities were so nice
Todo Comida Limpieza Naturaleza Personal
Mit viel Liebe und Sinn für naturbelassene Ästhetik gestaltet. Sensationelles Restaurant und Personal. Tolle Bungalows.
Man sollte sich bewusst sein, dass es inmitten der Natur auch Insekten gibt. Ein sehr wirksames und wohlriechendes natürliches Schutzmittel kann vor Ort bezogen werden.
La acogida fue muy buena desde el primer momento. El personal es amable y el ambiente del hotel resulta muy relajante, ideal para descansar. En general, la habitación y las zonas comunes se perciben limpias y bien cuidadas, lo que hace que la estancia sea agradable.
Durante la estancia encontré un par de cucarachas en la habitación. Entiendo que el hotel está en una zona natural y esto puede suceder, pero sería recomendable reforzar las medidas para evitar que esos insectos entren en las habitaciones. Además, en la descripción de Booking se indicaba que la habitación disponía de cocina, pero en realidad no había cocina, lo cual fue un punto decepcionante y poco claro respecto a lo anunciado.
Top WLAN (und all das weitere positive aus meiner ersten Bewertung)
Kein Mobile-Empfang. Das war aber bei meiner Kreditkarte nötig für Online-Käufe wie zB weitere Hotels, Flüge oder Tours. Dafür muss man dann runter an die Hauptstrasse. Online-Zahlungen mit Debitkarte waren möglich und Tours lassen sich auch vor Ort beim Personal buchen. Es gibt immer eine Lösung! ;)
We had an amazing stay! The place was absolutely beautiful—surrounded by nature and designed to help you truly disconnect and relax. The location is perfect, with a river nearby that adds a peaceful, unique touch to the whole experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Lorena, the owner, along with the entire team, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They gave us plenty of helpful suggestions and even connected us with great options for activities and transportation. The property itself is very well maintained, with several areas to enjoy—whether you’re looking to explore, unwind, or just take in the natural surroundings. The restaurant was fantastic, with delicious food and a variety of great options. We also had massages during our stay, which were super professional and relaxing—definitely a highlight! Thank you so much for having us. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
Der Ort ist wunderschön, das Essen ist unglaublich gut und das Zimmer war auch sehr ansprechend und die Betten sehr bequem. Trinkwasser war immer verfügbar.
Der Wasserstrahl in der Dusche hatte überhaupt keinen Druck, sodass nur tropfenweise Wasser rauskam. Das Essen war zwar sehr gut, aber die Wartezeiten sind äußerst lange (ca. 1h nach Bestellung).
El rio casi privado, y muy buen restaurante
En el spa hubiera sido bueno tener musica relajante de fondo para sobreponer la musica del vecino
The resort itself makes a good first impression. It's located in the jungle about 1 km off the main road.
Reaching other places, f.e. a restaurant without a car isn't easy... And if you have a car, you can only drive at a snail's pace and constantly worry about damage from the extremely poor road. The restaurant's menu isn't available on paper, only via a QR code. But internet and electricity are weak... The solar panels are sufficient for the lights, but not for the air conditioning. And they charge an extra 5% if you want to pay by credit card! All in all, far too expensive for what you ultimately get...
La amabilidad del servicio y las instalaciones. La comoda deliciosa.
la atencion del personal
1. no soy de quedarme en hoteles que queden en zonas como esas donde se presentan animales , vegetacion etc. 2. arriba de nuestra habitacion habian obreros trabajando lo cual impidio que tuvieramos un estancia tranquila, por el ruido y polvo que hay 3. por la ubicacion del hotel, las habitaciones no estan completamente limpias, hay animales por todos lados, polvo, etc 4. la llegada hasta el hotel no es tan amigable, hay que coger una trocha bastante larga 5. cuando uno llega al hotel, no hay nadie que le abra a uno el porton, por lo cual toca bajarse del carro a abrirlo y cerrarlo uno mismo.
El hotel es agradable y cómodo. El personal es muy atento y dispuesto.
Todo estuvo bien.
El ambiente relajado y natural.
El toldillo tenia un hueco y no lo cambiaron.
Personalet er stort sett vennlig, veldig fint rom. Fine omgivelser.
Det bør være et skilt når det skal være «barne yoga» Yoga oasen er vakker, og jeg ble dessverre forstyrret av en del barn og foreldre. Var ikke klar over at det skulle være et opplegg. Syntes gjester bør få denne informasjonen. Da kanskje flere velger dette for oppleve ro og hvile. Det fikk jeg dessverre ikke. Det er kun barnefamilier som bor på stedet. Air-condition gikk av på kvelden, prøvde å høre om å skru den på dagen etter, da resepsjonen er stengt fra kl 22.00 da sier personalet at det ikke skal være på dagen. Kan være manglende oversetter da jeg snakket engelsk men likevel følte meg ikke imøtekommet, prøvde ikke hjelpe eller prøve å forstå. Maten tar tid, og det er ikke lagt opp for å ligge på stranden, mye steiner og ser ustelt ut.
The place was quiet and relaxing. Lots of space that we could use and it was an easy walk to the river. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. The food options were good (including vegan) and delicious. Nice touch with the amenities like bath robe, water, and even setting up a mini fridge for us on request. The best thing was the group of affectionate doggies who even accompanied us to the river.
The water pressure in the shower was really low so it was slow and difficult to use. The road entering the property is difficult to navigate in a smaller car.
The place is a truly hidden gem in the area. Big lot full of nature, colors, fruits and trees of all kinds. It was perfect for a short stay before and after the lost city. Every dish of the menu was extremely well designed and very tasty. The premises and reading area had really cool music and a nice vibe. As well as the river and garden. The room was big and had very good beds. The staff (especially Diana and Lorena) is SUPER kind and attentive, and so were both owners.
La ubicación increíble en medio de la selva y con acceso directo al río y buenas hikes a otras partes del río, cascadas, etc. Tienen 4 perritos hermosos que pasean contigo a lugares cercanos. El personal sumamente amigable con un excelente servicio y atención - hicieron de nuestra estancia una experiencia mucho más amena. La comida exquisita por un precio moderado. Hay monos aulladores y ocelotes (tigrillo) cerca que hacen que se sienta todavía más salvaje! Recomendable actividades de yoga y tubing en el río.
Hay un balneario al otro lado del río que pone música de banda con alto volumen 10+ horas los fines de semana y se escucha en las cabañas, esto llega a interferir con la tranquilidad esperada del lugar durante esas horas. Hay demasiados mosquitos e insectos, pero esto no es culpa del establecimiento sino que es de esperarse estando en medio de la selva.
Un endroit sublime en pleine nature, on prend le temps et un grand soin est pris pour que vous vous sentiez au mieux - que ce soit via les messages proposés ou l’excellent restaurant! Merci
The place is lush and calm, perfect to disconnect from social media and reconnect with nature. It's a true paradise on heart. The staff is kind and caring. Food is genuine and tasty.
Wat een geweldige accommodatie! De meest unieke ervaring om te verblijven in de buurt van het nationaal park. De kamers zijn fantastisch en mooi en comfortabel. De mensen die hier werken zijn zo lief en geven veel advies over activiteiten en het restaurant hier is geweldig. Alles vers uit de tuin en met liefde gemaakt. Ik kan het aan iedereen aanraden!
The vibe, the people, everything.
Everything.
Absolutely nothing.
La belleza frondosa y exuberante, el servicio cálido, rápido y eficaz, la atención al detalle, la lealtad al cuidado del medio ambiente, la cocina deliciosa, fresca y sana.
No poder quedarme más tiempo
Ubicación cerca del parque Tayrona, perfecto par desconectar. Hotel con mucho encanto. Las comidas estaban increíbles
Aún sabiendo que estas en mitad de la naturaleza, las cabañas no están bien selladas y te encontrabas insectos de gran tamaño dentro de tu cama, ya que la red de la cama no estaba en buen estado y tenía agujeros. Al pagar con tarjeta te cobran un suplemento del 5% sin avisarlo previamente al revisar, es un abuso. La oferta de cenar o comer por el precio que pone en booking no es correcta, pagas el precio de la carta.
Peaceful, beautiful sanctuary amongst nature and a great place to disconnect and recharge. The food is delicious and nourishing. It is all fresh and healthy. Massages are great and very relaxing. The river and the river bank beach are beautiful for relaxing and meditating. This is a place to move away from busyness and the hustle life. I didn’t leave the hotel at all and had an amazing time just being and relaxing.
Aircon in my room had some issues which were minor and didn’t fully impact my stay.
Breakfast was excellent, with a good range of options for all tastes. There's fruit, coffee, eggs, toast, pancakes, so quite a good range, and you can also make breakfast for yourself as each little villa has a basic but workable kitchen. The lunch and dinner options were very good too, with plenty of options. The tenderloin sandwich is particularly good, and one of my boys loved the pasta al pesto. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfy, and bathrooms are clean and airy. They are setting up open air bathtubs on the garden decks, so you can take a dip and cool off from the tropical heat. As I live in Santa Marta, it is an excellent option for weekend getaways.
Everything was good, Madre Salvia is a great value for money, especially because of the basic kitchen where you can cook for yourself in case of an extended stay. It's a great place to relax. The owners, Juan and Paula are gracious hosts and very kind, and the staff was excellent.
This is an amazing place! If you want to spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the city, alone with nature! There is a river and mountains near the villas! We had a very beautiful villa! Spacious bedroom on the second floor, kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, 2 hammocks. And all this among the trees and the singing of birds! The restaurant serves healthy and delicious dishes and drinks. A good cleaning service is provided at the villa upon request. Excellent massage to choose from. The staff is very pleasant and responsible. We would like to say a special and huge thank you to the hotel manager Lorena, she is amazing! Very responsive, kind, responsible!!! She helped us with all our requests and questions! We really had a rest in this incredible place!
Some loud music from distant bars at the weekend. It’s not the hosts fault and to be expected everywhere in Colombia.
Fantastic experience to disconnect and surround yourself in nature. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Facilities were fantastic and food was amazing! Definitely recommend.
Lovely jungle huts, friendly staff (very patient with our poor Spanish), beautiful grounds. We had a fantastic relaxing 10 days in nature (bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, as well as insect repellent and long pants and sleeves). The restaurant serves delicious food. Everything we tried was amazing! Yay also serves excellent food and is a short walk away.
All-day free coffee would be welcomed or perhaps a French press in the kitchen. It was nice to have our own kitchen but a couple more utensils and some coffee, salt, oil etc would have been much appreciated.
Quiet location but easy to reach from the highway. Nice swimming place a short walk up the river. Extremely helpful when I mixed up a date on the booking.
Very nice food but extremely slow. Not a big problem, just a bit disorganized
Quiet, comfortable and a fabulous family run operation. We so enjoyed the wonderful meals and friendly staff!
We staid in the upstairs suite, which we loved. It has a wonderful balcony for relaxing and witching the birds. However, this one suite does not have screens on doors and windows so almost required to run the A/C.
It was very peaceful and full of nature. I liked that is was somewhat remote.
I can’t say there was anything I didn’t like.
Good food and very kind staff on the kitchen
The shower is almost unusable due to the lack of water pressure for the upper level. There's almost no water falling from the shower which made our stay unpleasant (after river or beach all we wanted was to refresh ourselves) We signaled this to the staff but the answer was "it's just like that on the other rooms". We tried to upgrade the room, expecting some understanding and reduction but there was no solution or alternative given One night the lights went off for almost 2h, we repeatedly complaint that we would not be able to use the fans or lights but the staff said "the owner is resting and he may not go out to fix it" For the price, I would have expected at least to be able to take a good shower and the staff/owners to pay a closer attention to hosts.
Surrounded by beautiful nature the establishment was well maintained. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the food was locally sourced and delicious. We had a great massage an overall it was a very relaxing stay this place is great for a retreat!
The shower in our hut could be better as the water had low pressure.
We loved it, the place, the staff, the garden, the river, the food, the jungle, exactly what we were looking for. We will be back.
Amazing natural place. The owners are wonderful people
