    The hotel was totally fabolous. The colonial building, interior is simply lovely and the staff is amazing. We stayed in the room upstairs, which actually meant the entire upper floor with a huge terrace. Getting around was also easy due to the central location.

    Very beautiful building in the old city centre of Santa Marta. Bars, restaurants and sea close by. We had the presidential suite whith a beautiful balcony. Felt like having your own house. The breakfast was served in the beautiful lobby close to the pool. The arepas and the service of Daiana was extraordinary!!! We will definately return.

    This is a small and very old and charming hotel, located half a block away from the street that comes alive at night with restaurants and street musicians. Breakfasts were delicious.

    This hotel was amazing! The room, pool and especially the staff was very hospitable. The lady who made us breakfast was very attentive and also helped us out ordering a taxi to the airport. She waited until she made sure we got in the right one! I highly recommend Casa Gaitana.

    The hot water occasionally cut out- but the shower was still nice. No sign outside made it slightly tricky to find (it’s Casa del Pozo)- but again, no big deal!

    Beautiful old building in a great location for exploring Santa Marta. Comfortable bed and great AC in the room. Very friendly staff who let us store our bags there for free whilst we did the Lost City trek. Good breakfast - juice, coffee, fruit, granola, eggs and arepas.

    The 2 air-conditioning units are not strong enough to work up against the immense heat of Santa Marta. The one in the smaller bedroom is able to cool down that room, but I chose to sleep in the main bedroom. I only stayed one night and not on a weekend which was good because other visitors told me that the rooftop adjacent to the presidential suite and the private roof terrace of the presidential suite gets really loud at night.

    I had the presidential suite, which was massive. It was exactly my taste in decoration with antiques. The pool was nice to cool down and the breakfast was nice. I liked the look of it all and its location. The beds are quite hard but I like that.

    Central location means noise at night - especially music from the restaurants . Earplugs get around this. Room was a little dark but then this was because it was cool and shaded.

    The warmest welcome from Diana and the other staff were very friendly and helpful . Lovely old style room. Clean and comfortable . Only 4 rooms so peaceful atmosphere and open, public spaces to share. Delicious breakfast . Central location.

    Can be noisy at night, with the music from bars and discos nearby. The lounges at the pool are hard as the wood they are made from. The practically non-existent light in the bathroom. Great for ignoring wrinkles, but try to paint one’s face 😉

    The colonial house is said to be 300 years old, and a gem inside. Beautifully decorated, the rooms/suites with high ceilings, comfortable bed, enough space. Great pool in the patio to unwind and cool down. Very good breakfast and super friendly staff.

    There is nothing about the property I didn’t like. Santa Marta itself as a town was not something I liked as much but I came there for the trek to the lost city with expotur which is conveniently located 1 minute away (and a very recommended tour operator) so for me I had a great experience

    I stayed here before I went on the hike to ciudad perdida and afterwards. The place is so lovely and huge and they are very able and happy to keep your belongings for you when you are on the trek. For me it was a perfect place to rest and relax with the lovely pole and surroundings. The staff are really lovely and helpful, the rooms are a good size / breakfast is lovely.

    I loved everything about it. The rooms are nice and cosy

    Lovely old house, inside there is a large area to sit and dine, a big kitchen and open pool which is mainly in the shade a perfect place to chill. The staff are super helpful and friendly and will look after you very well. They speak mainly Spanish but with some help from google translate there is no problem
