9.8/10 Exceptional! (164 reviews)
Hotel Kawa is located in the mountains of Salento with an amazing view of the Andes. It is walking distance to the town of Salento and the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle from the plaza back to the hotel at 9:00pm daily. Hotel Kawa staff is very friendly and they were very helpful in arranging our airport transfers and our day trips.
The hotel serves dinner nightly, and it was better than any options we found in the town. Breakfast at the hotel was included in our rate and consisted of a large buffet (fruit, a few cheeses and meats); it also included our choice of a breakfast entree.
There is also a small hot tub and sauna that you can book at no charge.
Our room was like a large tree house with a porch that had chairs, a hammock, and beautiful views. Some bugs do get in the room, but that’s to be expected when you are staying in a tree house in the mountains and the sliding glass door is open (there is a screen). The room doesn’t have air conditioning (temperatures in this area don’t warrant AC) or a television. WiFi isn’t a strong signal, but it does work, you just need to be patient.
Overall, this is a great place to unplug and enjoy Salento and its surrounding areas.
