The location and surroundings are spectacular, the views from the pools are breathtaking, you are literally in the middle of the jungle.
Rooms are basic but spacious with good beds and mosquito nets.
The staff is very nice and helpful, especially Alejandra, a real gem.
The beautiful location comes at a price in terms of transport, the dirt road is quite the challenge. We drove up in a 4x4 and that was still not for the fainthearted! Alejandra did inform us very well on the road and the need for a 4x4, and potential alternatives like leaving our car at a secured parking in Bonda.
The food and drinks are really overpriced, which adds up quickly and makes this a very expensive stay. The prices are well over Colombian standards, even for remote areas. There are little to no other options around, and going to the nearest town means paying for expensive transport, or driving yourself for 30 minutes over the above-mentioned dirt road, leaving you with little option but to accept.
We would have appreciated being informed about a charge for "local development" that is being charged 2 minutes before you reach the finca. It's a small amount, and we do not mind at all contributing to local schools or roads. Just let people know to expect a chain over the road and pay the contribution.

The place was the best place so far; very pretty with 3 Pools lovely people that mostly love nature and the food was very very good. This includes the food safety. Oh and important the matras was high end quality!
The staf were friendly and helping out. The Finca organises a lot.
The owner Kobe is a great Guy. I am impressed by what he and his wife have created over the years.
Nature surrounding the Finca is just beautifull!
I do advice to stay at this Finca and Will definitely come back.
Thanks Kobe and Thanks to the whole staff!

The grounds were beautiful and the beautiful three pools with amazing views were the highlight. The 5 waterfall hike with Alvaro was also amazing. Free yoga was also nice.
The vegan/vegetarian options were a disappointment. For being so remote, the food needs to improve massively. The staff didn’t seem knowledgeable on what was actually vegan/vegetarian. The food was very bland and lacked any effort. When we spoke to other guests at the hotel, they also shared the same opinion on the non vegetarian/vegan options.
The reception hours were advertised as 7-7 but they often opened much later and closed earlier.
Some of the staff were quite unpleasant and just seemed like they were constantly annoyed at you.
