I had an incredible experience at this hotel, which is ideally located right in the heart of Santa Marta, allowing easy access to local attractions and vibrant restaurants. The hotel felt like a serene oasis despite the bustling surroundings, with spacious and clean rooms that provided all the comfort I needed. The staff were truly the highlight of my stay, always going out of their way to help. However, parking was a slight inconvenience since I had to use a garage a block away and that added an extra expense. Overall, it offers great value for the money.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The hospitality was exceptional, making me feel right at home, even without speaking Spanish. The location is perfect, nestled near Parque Santander, with plenty of restaurants and attractions just a stroll away. The room I stayed in was charming and cozy, and the amenities like the pool and spa made it truly special. The only downside was the breakfast options could use some enhancement, which is a minor issue in an otherwise fantastic experience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the friendly and attentive staff made me feel welcomed and cared for, the room situation was quite troubling-too small and frustratingly lacked a proper view. The location had its merits but felt chaotic at times. The breakfast service was a highlight, showcasing the hotel's commitment to hospitality.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel in Santa Marta! The hospitality was unmatched, with staff always ready to help and even assisting me with planning my trips. The rooms were charming and very comfortable, but the city center can get lively at night. However, I barely heard any noise from my room. Overall, it was a delightful experience with beautiful interiors and a lovely rooftop pool.
