- "Everything. This is a unique experience. The dome was clean and very private. The staff was so friendly and accommodate. We opted for cooking our own meals except one dinner and one breakfast, and the food was so delicious! We also did the coffee tour and is was so informative. You get to walk the grounds. Highly recommend. The on-property waterfall was also a highlight. It’s just a quick walk." - "If you are heading up to the Serra Nevada de Minca, you can not do better than stay at Terramia. First of all you will notice that it is good 800mts higher than Minca (about 30 mins drive), hence it will feel like more like being in the mountains (which what you are really after there). Minca is like a highway town, and best avoided. Terramia, on the other hand, is a coffee plantation, with the most amazing views of the coast 18000 meters below, with the most up to date appointed half-glass houses & lush greenery & birds. The food (we had 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch & 2 dinners) is really good, specially the part when you BBQ your own food under the starts. They make fire next to the hot tub each night, serve G&Ts on the net overlooking the plantations, sorted out waterfall hike/ swim, bird watching with a local guide, and even sorted out a 6 hrs taxi ride from Las Isla to their place. Truly one of the best part of Colombia trip."

- "Our family of 4 spent 3 nights here at Villa Yira in the jungle and it was incredible! We loved waking up to a delicious breakfast, watching the hummingbirds, looking for monkeys and swimming in the spectacular pool. The pool is bigger than we thought it would be. Nature sounds and a relaxed vibe, we slept great. We did a chocolate tour and some hikes right by the hotel which were fantastic. The jungle huts are very spaced out for privacy for everyone and gives you a true jungle experience. You may encounter wildlife, it is Tayrona Park, and that's exactly what we came for. It was exactly what we were looking for, a bit secluded, in the jungle, where we could eat great (home-cooked Colombian food was delicious, piña coladas by the pool), swim and relax. Would highly recommend it!"
