    No drinking water provided in a room. During check in we did not get a welcome drink which was offered to us on an occasion of the first stay. No glass for tooth brush in a bathroom

    It was my second stay in this hotel. As I mentioned before it is in a very good location, has very comfortable rooms and great staff. Two small pools, very comfortable beds and high quality of sleep. With any doubts I would stay in this hotel again. If you need a driver for Santa Marta and arround you could contact a driver by wats up: +57 312 5442324 I used him several times: from Santa Marta airport to the hotel, from Santa Marta to Minca and after two days back from Minca to Santa Marta, from Santa Marta to Tayrona park and in the evening back to Santa Marta and from Santa Marta to Cartagena. The driver does not speak English and I do not speak spanish, but he is very smart and translates everything with google. The most important what he is extremely responsible , safe and reliable. The best restaurant in Santa Marta for fine dining is Guasimo restaurant.

    The staff and customer service was some of the best I’ve ever seen! My fiancé and I celebrated Valentine’s Day and they set up a private dinner on the rooftop with rose pedals and it was lovely. All of the employees went above and beyond to make sure our stay was more than comfortable and accommodated our needs in every way. Location is great. Atmosphere of the hotel is so cute. 10/10 recommend!

    Pool is located in centre of hotel, next to check-in & in middle of Dining area. We felt a little weird swimming there. Upper floor had a small plunge pool But pretty hot up there and limited shade. Room was a little dark (main floor facing pool) & toilet area is essentially part of room (just a glass sliding door so not great for shy people! Also spotty wifi.

    Beautiful historic & charming hotel. Excellent location and probably most comfortable hotel bed in Colombia! Nice breakfast & very attentive staff.

    I think it would be nice to include complimentary water since it is hot and Santa Marta’s water isn’t potable.

    It was a charming hotel…it had an old-fashioned classy colonial feel, and reminded me of “100 Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez! The staff was super helpful. I especially appreciated the blended welcome cocktail upon arrival on a hot day…delicious! Breakfast was also great, and I enjoyed cooling down in the pools (yes, there are multiples)!

    The room had no windows that you can open to let the daylight come in, but it was next to the pool.. so I ended sitting outside.

    A pretty complex of well appointed rooms in a very old building. It’s next to the beach and they provide free parking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. We also had dinner there one night, which was quite good. Their banana dishes are worth trying.

    The room was a little dark if we didn’t want to keep the door and windows open into a communal area. Generally it was great though.

    The staff were super attentive and the breakfasts had a lot of choice. Lots of different areas to relax, two pools and a hot tub as well as various other terraces.
