Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall, our stay was passable, but there are numerous areas that require substantial improvement. Frankly, given the cleanliness issues and the worn-out condition of the towels and sheets, I find it difficult to justify the hotel's price. Starting with the positives: the location was peaceful and offered stunning views, with a convenient path to the town. The breakfast was a highlight, combining a buffet selection with made-to-order main dishes, which I would rate 10/10. Now, addressing the negatives: We stayed for just one night during peak season, from Saturday to Sunday. The jacuzzi was covered in algae. While I understand the intention to reduce chemical use, this neglect led to an unacceptable level of cleanliness. The towels and bed sheets were visibly aged and hadn't been changed recently. In conclusion, despite some positive aspects of our stay, such as the tranquil location and excellent breakfast, the pervasive cleanliness issues and worn-out amenities make it hard to recommend this hotel, especially considering its current pricing.

A wonderful place to spend a couple of days visiting Salento and its surrounding area. We had the most amazing view and enjoyed top-quality hospitality from a team that went out of their way to make our stay special.

Will definitely go back to Kawa hotel for sure! We found such a pity that we couldn’t spend decent time at the hotel due to our intensive schedule, so will try to arrange for more time chilling there next time. Breakfast and view from the room are both perfect, but the service was what amazed us the most! Very helpful and responsive reception that we didn’t need to worry about anything. Shuttle service worked out smoothly as well!

We had the absolute best time at Kawa. 10/10 would recommend. Between the staff, the views, the food, I do not have one bad thing to say about our stay. We were beyond relaxed, and also enjoyed being set outside of center of town, yet you could be there in a short walk. Since being home, we have expressed to everyone that Kawa and Salento were the highlight of our trip.

Amazing staff truly felt like it was my home
Amazing Carlos went aboveand beyond to make me feel comfortable and answer all questions. Breakfast was made to order and included. Views were unobstructed and peaceful. The room had an updated patio and shower with very hot water. All amenities were great. They even had two hotel dogs that were friendly. Only suggestion is dont put families with children in the room next to the massage room. I was not able to fall asleep due to screaming kids the entire massage session.
