Nos encanto! volveriamos!
Pros:

El lugar es increible, como me imagine. Disfrutamos de una masaje con pindas al llegar que fue sublime (consultar quien lo hace porque al dia siguiente mis hijos, con otras masajistas no tuvieron la misma experiencia).
La comida buenisima (salvo la del martes por la noche al llegar).
Las cabañas super comodas, con hermosas camas y sabanas.
La excursion al Saltillo increible. De alli fuimos a recorrer Tayrona, y fue genial. La entrada del zaino esta a 15 minutos de Yay. El transporte con Martin, recomendado por Yay, impecable siempre.
Volveria varias veces mas. No se lo pierdan!

Cons:

No hay señal de wifi mas que en el retaurant, eso hoy en dia, es muy limitante.
Agregaria algo mas al menu, que es un poco pobre. pero no esta mal.

Hermoso.
Pros:

El lugar esta redeado de naturaleza, cerca esta el rio, es super acogedor, y al mismo tiempo tienes todo lo que necesitas. Perfecto.

Cons:

La via de acceso esta bien, pero creo que cuado llueve es difícil que entren carros pequeños. Pero es no esta en manos del hotel.

The common areas were stunning, the staff amazing, food delicious, the room very disappointing.
Pros:

The general facilities were stunning - beautiful restaurant area, idyllic setting, beautiful yoga space - right by the river.

Cons:

Our room was v basic for the price - the beds (double bed and bunk bed) were packed in the space with hardly room to walk around - bathroom area ok, shower area huge and beautiful

Fantastisch!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist ein kleines Paradies mitten im Dschungel! Die Zimmer, das Restaurant und die ganze Anlage rundum ist wunderschön. Es gibt viele schöne Plätze zum entspannen, ist direkt an einem Fluss und hat einen Naturpool und im Restaurant gibt es eine grosse Auswahl an lokalen, leckeren Gerichten.
Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Cons:

Nichts.

Mooie locatie maar slecht eten
Pros:

De locatie aan de rivier

Cons:

Het eten was gewoon niet goed. Vegan is prima maar breng het op smaak. Daarnaast erg kleine porties. We bestelden een pokebolw en kregen veel te weinig yoghurt. Toen we iets meer yoghurt vroegen moesten we daarvoor bijbetalen. Met dit soort tarieven kan dat echt niet.

Pros:

The environment is very tranquil and peaceful. Built sustainably and thoughtfully. Very relaxing and the natural pool and the bar/restaurant area is great.

Cons:

Food quality could improve. There are no other options besides eating at the restaurant and hence there was a lot to be desired from the menu/cooking

Pros:

Todo nos encantó. Un lugar en donde desconectas todo pensamiento del exterior y conectas con el interior y la naturaleza.

La construcción demasiado hermosa en guadua, nos hizo sentir mucha tranquilidad y frescura.

Cons:

Todos nos gustó. Volveríamos una y otra vez.
