    This place is heaven!!!!!!! I can’t recommend it enough. I hope to come back one day! It is a quick walk away to the town but far enough away to have the mountain feel and tranquility. The staff was amazing- the rooms are so unique and beautiful. The food was AMAZING loved the breakfast included and we did one dinner and it was beyond worth it!

    Walking at night back to the hotel is a bit challenge as the road is bad and there’s no light

    The views are absolutely breathtaking, it’s magical! The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s 20 min walking from Salento, so location is very good. Loved everything!!

    Magical location in the mountains, spectacular views, very short walk to Salento. We stayed in a private ego lodge which was beautiful, spotless with stunning views from private balcony. We often received complementary drinks and teas which were delicious/innovative, delivered to our room. Staff were so friendly and knowledgable. We did a morning tour of the grounds with Johnny which was excellent - he is so knowledgeable and the retreat grows a lot of their own produce. Luis was able to book all our transport and give excellent local recommendations. The food was exceptional! Some of the best we had in Colombia. I had a full body massage which was great. They have two adorable friendly dogs who we adored - they are very well trained and calm so do not worry if you don’t like dogs. Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We will be back!

    The location and views are incredible. We stayed in one of the eco lodges and it was perfectly designed to suit the environment. The staff were incredibly helpful. Luis was so knowledgeable and made great recommendations for different activities - and even setting up the jacuzzi for us was a great experience. Our nature walk with Johnny was also a highlight, and it was great to learn more about the eco credentials of the property. Couldn’t recommend this place more - a very special experience.

    The WiFi was horrible! I tried to do some remote work from my laptop but was unable to. Front desk said they were having issues all week.

    Beautiful property with amazing views. The staff was wonderful! Great place to get some much needed relaxation. A short walk to town.

    It’s a bit of a walk to the town but there is a shortcut through the woods but not very easy to navigate post sunset.

    The cottages are beautifully furnished with hot tubs and offer gorgeous views ! Bonus they have the most gorgeous dogs ! The breakfast spread is a bit limited but everything is delicious !

    From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed and taken care of! The whole staff is very warm and goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need for you stay. The views from the room and balcony are breathtaking. Perfect for a quiet and romantic getaway right outside of town. The included breakfast is amazing as well as the food we ordered for dinner at the restaurant. The very nice bartender also makes great drinks.

    The property was very cozy and well presented. The only thing was they didn’t have 2 single or double beds in one room. I think it’s more of a couple place but me and my friends was traveling together so they gave us a room with a double and a sofa bed. Other than that it was great.

    The property was located in a great place, not far from cocoa valley and it was a beautiful location

    Our cabin was at the top of a *steep* hill... Just an FYI that it's not that accessible if you have reduced mobility.

    We debated staying here because it is the most expensive place we stayed in Colombia, but it was so worth it. The views!! The relaxing atmosphere, comfortable cabins, and the amazing staff all combined to provide a luxury experience that left us feeling rested and relaxed. The food and drinks were also top notch. I highly recommend treating yourself to a few days here.

    I wish we would have booked more nights.

    The location is top tier, the food is amazing, and the available activities were excellent. Luis checked us in and was a great host. He offered us an extra blanket and a heater for the night. He told us he could arrange a ride for us to get back from town if we wanted. We did the full day activity plan, and Yeiner was our guide. He told us all about the history of cocora Valley and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. The town felt very safe and there was more to do than we had time for. We did the horse ride tour to the coffee farm and learned a lot about the processes of harvesting and preparing coffee. The horses were happy and well cared for. The room was as beautiful as the view, and the bathroom was large and stunning. I want to make Kawa hotel my go-to vacation spot. The whole staff was amazing, even the dog, Jacinta. Honestly I don't want anyone else to know about this hotel because I want to keep it a secret!

    Everything, imagine yourself in the middle of a jungle in the mountains, surrounded by the most luxuriant nature. True paradise and such an amazing place after the constant noise of Cartagena and Medellín. Best place I have stayed in Colombia. The staff is absolutely charming, the food is exquisite. Talking about the room, it feels like home. I loved the fact there is no TV, and that everything in the room is harmonious. The hot tub outside is great after a day walking in the rain. I only wish I could have stayed longer … (still dreaming about that warm and comforting welcome drink ) thank you so much for this wonderful experience.
