- "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."

- "Awesome! Such a beautiful place to stay in the selva. The view from the rooms is breathtaking, it's quiet and peaceful. The staff is very nice and helpful. The only thing you should know: You need to take a moto taxi or 4x4 to get there - and if you want to go to Minca, it's a 1-hr walk. I loved it, thought. Perfect for Couples or a retreat." - "We really enjoyed our stay! The room was perfect and food was good. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, compared to busy Minca. We saw lots of different birds also right from our balcony."

- "The breakfast is solid and the staff really friendly and helpful, but for me, what sets this place apart is the magnificent setting, waking up to birds, the splendid mountain vistas and the superb breakfast view down to Santa Marta. It is only 10 minutes' walk or so to the village, yet you seem to be in the middle of the forest. I loved this place. I spent 3 nights here a month previously and enjoyed it so much, I decided to return by flying from Medellin back to Santa Marta before making my way up the mountain for the short journey to Minca."
