“Relaxing!”
The setting is absolutely amazing. The most impressive place we have visited in Colombia. We did some amazing yoga classes and massages, there was a wonderful natural pool to relax in, and a great restaurant!

“Excellent eco resort near Tayrona National Park”
Beautiful eco resort near Tayrona National Park which was just under 20 minutes away. Excellent restaurant on site open all day. Relaxing hammocks dotted around. The sounds of the birds and wildlife were wonderful, really relaxing. The chalets were very comfortable to stay in, very good size. The staff organised any transfers/pick ups required. Highly recommended.

“YAY! A hidden paradise”
Here’s your review translated into English, keeping the warm and enthusiastic tone: --- Review of YAY Super spacious bungalow Wonderful outdoor shower Natural products The garden is incredibly beautiful and lovingly maintained The food, truly from the garden to the table, was fantastic – both breakfast and dinner And the cocktails and wine were delicious The absolute highlight was the access to the river and the pool, as well as the unique atmosphere Honestly, it’s far too inexpensive for what is offered! --- Would you like me to polish it into a Tripadvisor/Airbnb-style review (a bit more flowing and professional), or keep it exactly in this personal, authentic tone?

“Perfect retreat in nature for a few days”
The perfect place to immerse yourself in nature for a few days. The settings are beautiful, with plenty of hidden spaces to relax. The kitchen is open throughout the day with lots of innovative, tasty and reasonably-priced food options, most of which are veggie/vegan. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The tours offered are of high quality.

“A peaceful lodge to stay at in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta”
YAY Sustainable is an isolated hotel near Tayrona full of nature and natural areas. YAY Sustainable has a natural pool with water that comes directly from the stream and also provides hammocks near the steam that you can relax in and watch the water flow. The food is very sustainable and has an interesting menu with every day foods (such as fish, granola, pancakes, pasta...) made sustainable and quite healthy. Don't miss it!
