About this property

Welcome to Kolem Jaa

Kolem Jaa stands as a captivating retreat nestled deep within the high jungle of Tabasco, Mexico. With a solid rating of 4.2, this unique eco-destination offers visitors spectacular views, winding trails, refreshing waterfalls, and natural pools—truly a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. The journey to Kolem Jaa itself is an experience: guests arrive by boat, weaving through lush terrain that sets the tone for an immersive jungle escape.

The accommodations, primarily charming jungle cabins equipped with air conditioning, provide a comfortable refuge after a day filled with exploring. While the trek to reach the lodge can be demanding, it enhances the sense of adventure and reward once arrived. Guests are advised to travel light, bringing only a backpack rather than heavy luggage, due to the rugged path. Insect repellent is also recommended to ensure a pleasant stay amid the vibrant ecosystem.

Visitors can engage in a variety of activities such as ziplining, canopy tours, and guided nature walks that unveil the rich biodiversity surrounding the hotel. The location caters well to families, with kid-friendly amenities encouraging younger guests to connect with the environment safely. Although some note that the restaurant service can be slow and the cuisine leans toward international palates—with lighter seasoning adapted for foreign tastes—these minor drawbacks are easily overshadowed by the breathtaking landscapes and the genuine tranquility of the setting.

Kolem Jaa feels like a hidden gem that invites travelers to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature in its purest form. It offers not just a stay, but an adventure that stirs the senses and calms the spirit. Whether one is a student, a solo traveler, or a family, the hotel’s blend of rustic charm and natural beauty leaves a lasting impression—one that beckons visitors to return and share in the serenity of this Tabasco sanctuary.

Espectacular lugar dentro de la selva alta de Tabasco. Increíbles vistas, senderos, cascadas, pozas. Realmente un paraíso. El único pero es el servicio de restaurante, un poco lento, pero nada que el paisaje no compense. Muy recomendable!!!

Mooi en orginele locatie! Leuk dat je met een bootje er naar toe gebracht wkrdt. In de omgeving weinig te doen naast zipline of canopy. Belangrijk: Neem alleen een rugzak mee. Neem GEEN koffer mee. Die moet je dan vervolgens door de jungle heen zeulen.

Bonito lugar con muchas actividades para realizar, ideal para pasar más de un día y poder disfrutar de los alrededores naturales. Hay unas cabañas para hospedarse y creo que es la mejor decisión ya que el trayecto hasta el lugar es algo cansado por las características del trayecto final.

Una aventura hospedarse en este lugar que tristemente es más visitado por extranjeros que nacionales. Llegar al hotel en lancha es la primera de las experiencias. Hay que mentalizarse en que estarás en medio de la selva. Recomiendo llevar insecticida y rentar habitación con aire acondicionado, será más cómoda la visita. Los alimentos son pensados en comensales extranjeros así que son poco condimentados y con poco picante pero bien servidos y el personal muy amable. La factura no la han enviado y me hospedería hace 5 días...espero que sí envíen la factura.

Fui como estudiante de la UJAT, así que fue con descuento, y guiado por un maestro. La vista es increíble, y como estudiantes nos trataron muy bien. Eso sí, caminamos mucho y estuvimos en la cueva, hay que llevar calzado ligero y que se pueda mojar, pues las rocas están muy afiladas.
