Si lo q estas buscando es un lugar con una vista hermosa al mar : la habitación 9 es para ti. El personal fue super atento y todo estaba limpio. Es cierto que el menú del desayuno está un poco pequeño pero no fue algo que me incomodó . Lo que si no era bueno era la señal de Wifi que era muy intermitente y además abajo del hotel hay una especie de licorería o un negocio similar y la bulla es hasta casi las 3am. Desde el viernes hasta el lunes . Ya el martes, miércoles y jueves fue como hasta las 12am . Si buscas : locación, limpieza y personal atento este es para ti. Si buscas : piscina, silencio en las noches y wifi (mira otras opciones)

The room was large, but not too clean. Arrived at 1:30 pm, and had to wait until the check-in time of 2 pm to enter the room, even though it seemed to be ready earlier. On the up side, Luis at the front desk was very helpful in facilitating some local travel-related arrangements for us.

Great location but the staff could use some customer service work shops. In the restaurant expect below average food taste and quality. These people NEVER come back to check on you. Better choices with far better service for the price can be found. The mannequins all around the place give it a clockwork orange creepy vibe.

Good hotel, bad ethics and fake policies!
My accountant pays for my rooms with a company credit card however, this company credit card has the accountants name on it. When booking the room which has been done probably several hundred times and different hotels and Columbia and other countries are around the world, there’s a place for the Payment that has the name and address and what not of the Person paying. However, there is another area for you to put in the name of the person staying in the hotel. This is never been a problem for me in any country city or province around the world. When my accountant asked me if I wanted to stay in Santa Marta or go back to Barranquilla I asked them to book me at the Bonita Bay because I stayed here before, and it was fairly wonderful. However, it immediately became a problem because the person’s name who paid was not me, even though my name was listed as the individual staying. I travel a lot for work and I have people who book my flights and pay my flights in those cards have individuals names on them, but they’re with my company. They are business credit cards. It would be illegal for someone to use my credit card to book my room and forge my information. But individual works within my company and has their own credit cardfrom my company it is not illegal for them to pay for a room. That is what my accountant does. Therefore, after arguing with me for 10 minutes, I gave them one of my other credit cards and allowed them to charge it. However,they have not refunded The money.

My recent stay at this establishment was nothing short of delightful. The staff, who are the backbone of any hospitality establishment, were commendably kind and accommodating. Their professionalism and genuine warmth made my stay not just comfortable, but truly enjoyable. The condition of the place was consistently up to par. Everything was clean, neat, and well-maintained, making it apparent that the management takes great pride in ensuring their guests have a pleasant stay. One of the standout aspects for me was the feeling of safety. Whether it was day or night, I felt secure and at ease, which is a crucial factor in choosing a place to stay. Overall, this establishment provides a wonderful combination of comfort, cleanliness, and security, backed by a friendly and welcoming staff. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant stay.

This property is centrally located and just like the pictures. It is above a bowling alley and a casino, so depending on the floor you're on you'll hear a bit of noise. The ceiling-to-floor windows provide an absolutely breathtaking view. The staff are really nice and the rooms are cleaned.

The basic rooms have no windows and above the room is a bowling alley and you could hear the noise of the balls being thrown. They only provide one bottle of water on the first day although I understood one per day put they charged for the additional days for the water. It was confusing finding the entrance to the hotel, no visible signage and hotel is on the fouth floor of the building. Entrance to the building is not at all appealing or attractive. The beach is walking distance but i would not go into the water looked to dirty as well as the sand. Very congested area.
