We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is ideal, a 5 minute walk to the beach and main area for restaurants. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The breakfast included is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Bed comfortable and staff friendly. Had some plumbing issues taken care of by maintenance. Quite noisy from the services at the cemetery next door at 6:30am (yes, am) to late night events in the area. Breakfast filling with several options. Allowed us to store luggage away for a day getaway which was a plus. Like many hotels in area water is cold to lukewarm depending on time of day. Hot tub on rooftop dirty we couldn’t use.

Very nice place. I would stay again. About a 10 min walk from the center, but that meant it was quiet. Beds and bathroom/shower were nice. Spacious room.

The hotel is really cute but we did not have the chance to see the 3rd floor with its rooftop. When we arrived we got told that there will be a private event that night so no access possible for the night. No excuses were offered even though we explained our disappointment. We could have stayed at a different hotel. All we wanted was a relaxing event and avoid the hassle of going to the city. When we came back down to head out to the city, the receptionist told us his manager was willing to offer a complimentary drink... To have in the lobby. We declined and headed out. When we came back the event was still going and people were really loud. We would have expected a refund so that we could spend the night somewhere else or at least a considerable discount since we did not get what we paid for. If we wanted a room just for the night we would have stayed in a hostel for much cheaper.

This hotel is the perfect base for Santa Marta - the staff are wonderful, the property is brand new and the location is great (in a residential area, about a 10 minute walk to the waterfront or to the market for the bus to Tayrona).

Les photos sont vraiment plus belles que la réalité! Les toilettes fonctionnent s’il y a au moins à 15 minutes entre deux “flush” l’eau du spa est verte. Les lits sont confortables. C’est bruyant jusqu’à minuit sinon par la suite tranquille. Les rues autour un peu trop tranquille mais quand même sécuritaires. Mais à 5-7 minutes c’est l’endroit à être pour les restos et bars! Pour le prix c’est quand même très bien!
