Incredibly beautiful surroundings and a very comfortable stay. Excellent food!

All was superb, wish water was a tad hotter, but understand the eco concept. It was hot enough.

Beautiful setting, great accommodations, the restaurant was superb and the staff super helpful. Want to come back for more days and partake on some of their planned activities. Gorgeous sunset!

Discomforts: The road up to the resort is ROCKY. If you have a bad back or neck, you may find this tough for about 20 mins. Some of the cabanas are very high up and require a good amount of climbing daily at altitude. Not terrible if you’re young and mobile, but again might be a drawback. The hot water gets hot but there’s a tradeoff between pressure and warmth (i.e., only gets truly hot if you are okay with lower pressure). Lastly, there are some bugs but that is to be expected for a resort of this kind — we didn’t find the bugs to be disruptive at all (make sure you leave the lights off when you go to dinner) No coffee maker in non-Cabana rooms: The coffee at breakfast is great, but if you’re a big coffee lover like us you’ll find the trek from your room to breakfast sluggish without your first cup in the room. Salt levels: Many of the dishes were a little on the salty side. If you notice this, definitely ask them to modify and they’ll be more than happy to do so. Food was less salty on our final days.

Food: This is a gastro-experience and the food we ate rivaled (if not surpassed) all the Colombian fine dining we experienced in Medellin and Colombia. The herbs, vegetables, and flowers, all grown in the local garden were extremely fresh and delicious. Truly some of the best produce I’ve experienced. Drinks: Every cocktail we tried was amazing. Again, they leverage local ingredients and have clearly put a lot of thought into their menu. They also have a wonderful partnership with a local beer brewery and offer 8 Belgian style beers brewed by 2 Belgians who moved to Colombia to bring the style to Latin America (Torrealta Cervezeria) as well as local coffee, rum, and chocolate producers who embody the ethos of Cannua. Design: Though small (18 rooms total), Cannua is stunning. The rooms are bright, well-furnished, and covered in lush greenery. The entire resort boasts stunning views and is meticulously integrated into its environment. Dining tables made of natural wood, muted, natural toned bathrooms with hanging plants, and Staff: All amazing and fluent in English. Special shoutout to Fabian who guided us through the permaculture tour, the chocolate tasting, and had exceptional recommendations at dinner. They are all very bought into the eco philosophy of the resort, and their passion for Cannua is palpable. Experiences: We partook in the chocolate tasting, the permaculture tour, and the pre-hispanic trail hike during our time here. We also got massages. All were great! For the first 3, the staff was extremely knowledgable and personable. On our hike, our guide explained the history of the trail and the diverse flora and fauna to us, and also had us smell and taste a few wild products along the way! The permaculture tour was similarly fantastic, and learning more about the history and philosophies of the property was one of our favorite parts of our stay. Massages were good and affordable ($60 for an hour), though not the focal point of the experience.

Altitude plays a part in moving around the resort with ease - that's nothing to do with the hotel, just a nod to being aware that you could get puffy where usually walking is easy!

We upgraded to a cabana and were so glad we did - the sense of space and peace was amazing. The food is outstanding quality, from the amuse bouche, to the fresh ingredients used from the gardens. The rum tasting was a fabulous experience, delivered expertly with humour, ease and in which I learnt so much - thank you Fabian.

An oasis outside the bustling city of Medellin. Serene, lots of nature and quiet. The staff was most excellent!

The drive was long on a dirt road, it's in a rural area. The Uber driver got really upset.

By far the best place I've ever stayed. We woke up too late to get breakfast, but dinner the night before was phenomenal. Definitely worth a look if you want to treat your loved one.

The bungalow was spacious, clean and quiet. The staff went above and beyond to make us happy- especially Fabian. The food was my favorite of the 5 weeks we spent in Columbia - fresh, healthy and flavorful. Also enjoyed the chocolate and rum tastings. A beautiful and restful place!

Cannua was the highlight of our trip! Everything from the moment we came to the moment we left was perfect. The staff is incredibly helpful and the attention to detail in everything makes it perfect! Food is amazing, very refined.

I came here with my girlfriend just for a night and it far exceeded our expectations. Right from the beginning, the staff was incredible. They had us skip check in because they wanted to make sure we got lunch. During lunch the owner came out to say hi and chatted with us for a bit. Then the food came out and it was amazing. Like, really good. Actually the food the entire time was some of the best I've had in Colombia after living here for a while. We stayed in a bungalow and the room was very spacious and had a great view. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone.

There aren’t yet many amenities/activities available on site.

The staff was amazing. They arranged my airport taxis for both arrival/departure. They would send driver's info thru WhatsApp to ensure safety. Upon arrival they escort you to your cabana. The rooms are beautiful, minimalist, and kept cool due to the architectural design. The food with their on-property gardens are top notch. One of the co-owners Brian also took the whole group on a permaculture tour explaining the concepts behind Cannua. Can't wait to make it back

The shower was really disappointing. Being in a fairly cold lodge (as it is up in the mountains), I was looking forward to a hot nice shower, only to find a shower with no pressure and lukewarm water.

Great location, view and friendly staff. The sunset hike and dinner were also great.

Nice place, good restaurant. Cold to sleep and a bit expensive.

Stayed in January 2023

I found many flaws. The shower is just warm (too cold for some people), the bed is not confortable, there were just 2 low pillows in the bedroom, and the value for money in their restaurant is below ideal (expensive for what they offer, and you don’t have other good options close by). We commented the shower problem with the staff, they were aware, and just said that it’s because the shower heater is electric, but didn’t offer any solution. I really like when I find at hotels staff that are sufficiently empowered to offer better experience.

The public spaces are beautiful and it’s a great space to disconnect.
