We had a wonderful time at Villa Yira. This family is really fantastic and helps wherever necessary. The place is slightly remote, but beautiful. Tyrona national park is easy to reach. Not to forget, the food was exceptionally delicious.

A wonderful and tranquil retreat nestled in the jungle. While it may be slightly pricier compared to other options in the area, it's absolutely worth every penny! The open cabins seamlessly merge with nature, creating a magical atmosphere. The food was exceptional – delicious and presented as if you were dining in a top-notch restaurant. The staff who manage the place are also delightful, incredibly welcoming, and always willing to engage in a friendly chat or provide valuable tips about the region. I absolutely adored my experience!

Very nice location in the beautiful nature. It’s perfect for family holidays. We loved the atmosphere, the very good food and everyone who made our stay extremely special. There are nice little hiking opportunities close by and it’s not far from one of the entrances to the tayrona park. Thanks to Hanna, Octavio, David and the whole team who took care of us. 😊

The prices for the stay, food and beverages were quite high compared to Colombian prices: 65K for dinner without dessert (only 1 option every night), 20K for a glass of wine. We enjoyed the vibrant athmosphere at villa Yira (it feels like you re part of the family), but for people who are looking for a quiet spot: note that owners’ (cute) kids and dogs are playing around in the shared space.

Villa Yira is a beautiful, family owned place. Its managed in a very personalised / chill way and this creates a cosy atmosphere. We were really impressed by the cabins that they built. The location is ideal for trips to/from Tayrona national park. Amazing swimming pool & The owners were super flexible - thanks for having us, Hanna & Octavio!

It was wonderful. Very familiar and with so much attention to detail. The owners help with any request and are so incredibly caring. Also, it is very worthwhile to eat there. The chef is top notch. Super food! We enjoyed the stay and can only recommend it. Thank you very much!

Everything was great: lovely cabanas within a wild nature and super friendly staff (big up to JD and Ruben). The breakfasts are really nice (try their homemade bread) and the other meals as well :) You’ll need a 4x4 to reach the spot but from here you can go hiking in the mountain (multiple trails) or run next to the river. Def recommended!!!

really no complaints at all. exceeded my expectations on all dimensions.

fairly remote, across a river and up into the jungle a bit, this property had several beautiful thatched outdoor living cabins perched under the canopy. lying under mosquito meeting I fell asleep to the sounds of the forest. the host family were lovely people and seemed well suited to their chosen business, which was their own creation. they were friendly, helpful, informative and man did they have high standards when it comes to our meals! yum! the place is relatively small so we it lends itself to a family vibe even among strangers of different nationalities.

The owner was very kind upon arrival, they made us feel so welcome. view from the rooms is amazing. as well as their food! it’s really a back to nature experience but with all comfort you need. highly recommend!

The road in is a bit tricky but manageable.

This place is exceptional! Once you get past the initial road there you are in for a treat - the hosts, the food, the facilities, the nature, the cabins, the warmth - all exceptional! This was heaven on earth for a couple of days.

There was nothing, what we did not like. But nevertheless we had to get used a bit to the true eco hotel setup being outside in nature at night an listening to the sounds. And of course don’t expect air conditioning or a hot shower.

Exceptional family like atmosphere created by the hosts. Our 4y old daughter really enjoyed every day. Beautiful surroundings. Excellent prepared meals by the chef.

no hot water, no water at all for a brief period and it is a bit of a hassle to get to (but they warned us!)

beautiful relaxing property! great hosts, great food, great atmosphere and so welcoming

There were several very important disclosures that were not made up front, or at least not in enough time to book another place. We did receive more details via Whatsapp the day we were supposed to arrive. There is a road that leads to a river that is only driveable by a 4x4. If there is water in the river, the only way to cross is by a suspension bridge that is missing wood planks. There is no light around this bridge. Once you cross the bridge, there is another mile or so of very rough and muddy roads. There is no way anyone could drive a rental car across this road. I have no idea where one would park a rental car, but there is additional charges for transporting guests and their luggage across the rough roads and bridge. Additionally, it was cash only and cold water showers only which we did not expect. All of this should have been disclosed prior to booking. We arrived very late due to flight problems, though we knew it would be after dark. We never would have booked this hotel knowing how difficult it was to get to. And this was the 2nd hotel we booked. The first one (Tayrona Paradise) disclosed immediately after booking (with a no cancellation policy) that the walk to the bridge if it rained was TWO MILES. And it rains a lot in November! Shady folks there as they wouldn't let me out of it even though I immediately explained we would get in after dark with full suitcases! So the lack of disclosures isn't an isolated incident. All of that said, it's a lovely place. It's a great place for backpackers. But for those with normal suitcases and wanting a few comforts like hot water and credit cards, less so.

The hosts were super nice and accommodating. The food was good. It was a lovely place.

it’s perfect!

I have no words! What a special place. Octavio and Hanna are incredible people and so is everyone who stays there. We had the best time hanging out, eating the delicious meals, learning about the community and exploring the area.

We loved our stay at Villa Yira, the team made us feel at home! We stayed here to explore Tayrona Park, it was 10mins bus ride from the nearest bus station, which is 15 mins walk to the hotel. The hotel offers great facilities, we got to enjoy the open living room and swimming pool areas. As you are in middle of the jungle dinning at the hotel is the best option, food was great and super fresh! We will definitely go back to Villa Yira!

It was a bit tricky to get here with luggage on a motorcycle.. Even though the motorcyclists are super skilled:)

Great little retreat. Very nice and quiet. Great morning / noon vibes by the pool:)

people, location in the jungle and amazing food

perhaps beds are not the par comfortable ones, plus they are smaller than usual. also the there is no hot water, I thought there would be warm water but showers were always cold. that’s probably the only downsize.

The space amongst the nature, and quite secluded from the main road. the tranquility. the food is amazing, they have a really good chef so dinners were just fantastic.

nothing!

We really recommend a stay at Villa Yira. Amazing lodge, super friendly people and delicious food! The staff is very helpfully with entering and during your stay.
