I liked everything, it was beautiful and they had put a lot of work into it

It’s super clean and by far the best stay in this area. The rooms were comfortable and private and had a lot of amenities that you can’t find anywhere else. They were very accommodating and provided delicious meals for us a la carte, definitely recommend!

Would have liked an additional fan and hot water for a shower. It's tricky to get to, but worth it.

food was amazing, bed was comfortable. Very beautiful. You have to take a boat across the river.

Wlan only at restaurant area - no problem as good access with your SIM-card as long there is no power failure in whole San Cipriano. To enter the compound - you need to cross a river - no problem as it is good organized and somehow romantic. Might be a problem due to havy rain, which we had: but it was NO problem...

This is the place if you want to see the birds and nature. Very good hospitality by Mama Reyes and her team. And easy to book and comunicate with. Very impressive garden and hut and restaurant. Only delicious food made by the owner from fresh ingredients in an open kitchen. Safe, 100 % no problems here, compared if you dare the local restaurants in the village, where others got stomach problems... so enjoy Mama Reyes meals and relax! And tasty hugos! Helpful team to assist for incoming and outgoing - even for your transport from to Cali area. Nights no disco or music or shoutings - only the voices of frogs and concerts with insects and owls.

Getting here - and away - is an adventure in itself unless you have private transport. Don't underestimate how long, hot and potentially uncomfortable the journey can be.

A true jungle experience in a family atmosphere. Amazing south Pacific home cooked food. Quiet and friendly. Surrounded by nature. Helpful hosts in a peaceful setting. We loved the unique experience of riding brujas along the old railway to reach San Cipriano, but it's not for the faint hearted. Also great fun crossing the river on arrival, although we didn't realise this would be required! Phone ahead.

A magical place surrounded by lush nature. The rooms are immaculate, clean, and perfect for spending one or more nights in San Cipriano. Away from the hustle and bustle, after crossing the river with a small boat, you are blessed by the tranquility this place offers. Amalia’s cooking is delicious and rich, with ingredients from her own garden. The hospitality of Amalia and her husband Victor knows no bounds. We feel fortunate to have experienced this unique place and its wonderful people. We would return anytime if given the chance to visit San Cipriano again, but next time, we would stay longer than just two nights.

Everything was marvelous.

I love that Mama Yeya’s is “on the other side” of the river, so you have to take a canoe to arrive. So enchanting! The food is absolutely delicious. The grounds are well-kept and beautiful with different plants, animals and butterflies. The cabin is immaculate. I felt like I was at a 5-star hotel! Book this place immediately.

They were renovating the fish ponds and therefore, the holes were empty but filled with rainwater and it rains a lot. I think they will benefit from closing them or build them into fish ponds again.

Everything is as pictured. Rustic done with taste. The location was perfect as you avoid the noise from the village but still are steps away. The food is very good. The staff has been highly trained and play their role of guardians of the culinary traditions of the Pacific and of the delicate environment. There is no other place like this in the small village, clean, cozy, the staff is respectful and very attentive and they do respect your privacy and silence. Perfect place to go with kids or friends. Super recommended! We will go back!

We recently spent two magical days and an overnight at Mama Yeya’s in San Cipriano - an enriching experience that our daughter shared with us. The proprietors, Dona Amalia and Don Victor, were gracious hosts, and Dona Amalia’s gourmet Pacific Coast cuisine was delectable and beautifully presented (we could hardly wait for our next meal)! The accommodations were well-appointed and tastefully decorated, and the bedding was very comfortable. Their son served as our guide for a hiking adventure to several waterfalls, followed by an inner-tube glide down a gentle and crystal clear river, where we were pleasantly surprised to encounter two sloths up close. It was an unforgettable experience at very good value. It was also very fun getting in to San Cipriano via a “Moto-Brujita” - a innovative form of transportation that makes use of an abandoned rail line that rivaled an amusement park ride! We highly recommend a stay at Mama Yeya’s!

Amalia created a piece of heaven on the side of the San Cipriano river. The place is incredible. The food is glorious Pacific goodness.

Everything was perfect!

We liked everything about our stay, especially the attention and loving care we received from our hosts, the location of the property in the middle of the forest, and the delicious, thoughtfully-prepared meals that were served.

Nothing at all!. Everything was fantastic!

Mama Yeya is an excellent place to relax away from the noise of the main town. The cabin was beautiful and spotless clean. The staff were very friendly at all times. The food was delicious! I recommend this place. We were able to leave our bags at the restaurant even before check in (which was very handy)! We thank Mama Yeya and her family for this experience!

The food!

Fantastic place. The food is world class. Best Colombian Pacific cuisine. Make sure to let them know ahead of time to prepare the River Shrimp. It is out of this world.

I liked everything, including having to cross the river by foot or canoe to go anywhere else.

The cabin was clean and well-appointed. It had everything to make our stay comfortable. The shower worked great, they provided many clean towels, the bedding smelled and felt great. The cabin had a mini fridge and a fan, and binoculars for bird watching. The property had lovely flower gardens with humming birds and butterflies. Amalia, the owner is a lovely person and cooks delicious food.

everything was great

Mama Yeya is a tremendous cook. Eat there every meal. The quality and value is great. The room is very nice. Luxury in a rain forest. And the service is top-notch. The location is across the river from the main town. This little buffer is good and bad. It gives you seclusion from the rest of the community, but it also takes a little effort to cross the river. This never was an issue for me. Any time we were ready to either go to the village or return, Mama Yeya's husband or adult children immediately came to transport us across the small river in their little canoe. And the river is so clean and beautiful! We planned to stay just 1 night but were so impressed that we decided to extend our stay. Highly recommended for a unique stay.
