    Lovely place, delicious food, amazing staff and massage

    The air conditioner did not work on our first night, and it was pretty hot. The following day, it was fixed. There are several properties with dogs surrounding the hotel, and they can be quite noisy, including in the evenings. But overall, we slept well.

    The room was huge, and it was the only hotel that fit our two hard-case baggage open on the top of a couch we had inside our room. We really appreciate it. The decoration was beautiful and thoughtful The staff was kind and helpful with everything: organising a takeaway brekkie when we had an early tour, fixing our aircon, and booking our massages at the hotel spa. The massage and facial were great and we highly recommend it The restaurant is outstanding, we wish we had more dinners there. We loved the "encocado de camarao", the best we had in Colombia. Santa Marta food was the best.

    The staff was friendly, the room was very comfortable and clean as well as the common areas. The hotel is located in a quiet street but it is also close to the shopping centers and the beach is within walking distance.

    The bed was very stiff and uncomfortable for my spouse and I!

    Location is off the main road, so it is decent. Stray dogs barking at night can be pretty noisy. The staff (especially the man who works night shift at the front desk) were amazing! He made us coffee and grilled cheese sandwiches when we were up early to depart for Tayrona. He went out of his way to do this for us, he definitely didn’t have to. We appreciated it so much! We were leaving before breakfast began. The pool is a little chilly for my liking, but I only went in after the outdoor area was shaded. It seemed to get mostly sun in the morning. Easy walk to Rodadero beach. Try the mango with lemon & salt - YUM!!! Had to be buzzed in and out of front gate of hotel, was a little bit irritating because we felt like we were bothering the staff if we forgot something in the car. I guess it’s for safety though which is top priority of course! Street parking available out front, no problem for us. Small hotel, maybe only 5-6 rooms. Would definitely stay here again!

    Mountain View is a street view. Curtains need to be closed to avoid views from outside.

    Large room (suites). Nice bathroom. Nice pool area. Dinner excellent. Nice silent place in Rodadero for relaxing.

    The property is not just for adults. And the concept is the full relaxation and peace, there was kids screaming around that completely damage the idea of the hotel. They should think about this very seriously.

    The pool area was amazing!, the room very clean and the bathroom with everything you need. The staff make you feel very cared for.

    The breakfast can be better, an arepa de huevo is not enough for some people … I know they are trying to show the Caribbean gastronomy but it’s not enough.

    Nice decoration and comfortable rooms ! I like that they offer extra services of massages, pool and the restaurant. The location is ok, close to a mall and 15 mins walking to the beach.

    far from the main part of Santa Marta, I was in a room right next to reception so I heard every time the front door was rung and people checked in

    beautiful rooms, nice breakfast, boutique touch, close to grocery store and pharmacy, very safe as it is a gated hotel
