Admin problems
This is a nice hotel with a great location but they have crazy admin struggles..For a start they cannot correctly charge breakfasts on hotels.com. Singles pay double, doubles pay correctly. They cannot even book a room via hotels.com if you choose three people and then try to add breakfasts. I reached out to them to try and resolve this and they just ignored me. We had three families with three people in our group. So we had to pay those breakfasts on arrival. Both mornings breakfast staff told them they didn't have breakfasts included. Would be a way better experience of they didn't make clumsy mistakes like this and actually cared about replying to guests.

Bathroom was unfinished. Towels were thin and old. Toiletries were subpar. Staff was dismissive and disinterested, even waiving a customer to cut in front of me. Bar staff made me wait 10 minutes for daily refill treatment, even with 3 workers present. Breakfast was terrible. This property and services should be considered Marriott properties. They

It was a nice hotel overall, the staff were really friendly and accommodating. I don’t know if it was just at the time but it was really dirty, there was construction near by and sewage must’ve opened up because it smelled terrible nearby outside. But other than that I really liked my stay here also wish they had bigger rooms for the people willing to pay extra

Amazing Service - Great Location - Good Food!
We are glad we stayed at AC Hotel by Marriott in Santa Marta. The property is clean - service is amazing (more on that) - and the food was excellent. I was reluctant of the food based on the reviews however, my experience was 5 stars. The breakfast buffet and we had room service one night - all excellent. I would like to give Jonathan (Manager on Duty on 1/10/24). We had an issue in our bathroom with what we thought was a leak (turns out it was our own fault). We explained the situation to Jonathan and he presented us many options to make our stay more enjoyable - we took him up on his offer for room service for the night. His approach, empathetic listening, and act of service really summarizes our whole experience during our four night stay. As a result, we also decided to have a pool day and rent a cabana for a special occasion - the service was excellent and the experience was exactly what we had hoped for it to be. The property itself is walking distance to one of many beaches in Santa Marta, it is also close to supermarkets, bar, restaurants, everything you may need during your time in Santa Marta. If you are looking for a modern, clean, centrally located hotel with excellent service, you should consider AC Hotel in Santa Marta.

Location, look and service was great! The view was Majestic. The travel agency on the lobby was very helpful and got us just what we were looking for. Service at breakfast and dinner was terrific and food delicious. The only suggestion is keeping the pool open a bit longer as 7pm feels early to close
