Pros

  • You are in a rural idyll at the Anacaona
  • Great breakfasts out in the gardens

Cons

Hotel El Mirador Del Cocora

$$ | Calle 1 #3–01, Salento, Colombia

The views from the hotel, which take in forested hillsides, verdant valleys, and the odd farmhouse, make this hotel a top choice in Salento. The small staff make an effort to look after their guests, and the rooms are well sized, with polished terra-cotta floors and simple modern furnishings. Book well in advance to ensure a room with a view.

Pros

  • Amazing views
  • Some rooms have Jacuzzis next to the window

Cons

  • Uphill walk from the plaza
