Hotel stay
Wonderful hotel, very attentive service, the best sunset, BUT bad neighborhood. I was attacked by “security dogs” from nearby small businesses at night twice. Very aggressive animals. The beach door was locked at 8pm, so if you planning to walk on the beach after dark-good luck. Scary experience.

Good option at a good price.
Had a nice stay here. The hotel is clean and the employees are attentive. If you want an ocean view you need to ask for a room in the tower. The beach is nice and much less crowded than Rodadero. That may be a good or bad think depending on your preferences. The biggest drawback is the location. If you want a daytrip to the nicer beaches or Parque Tayrona, you hace to drive or take a cab to Rodadero. Same for downtown and the better restaurants and bars. Also, the breakfast is good but not great. If you don’t care about any of that, then this place is a good option. We enjoyed our stay.

Very bad - not what it seems on the description
This hotel is not what appears to be from the description at Hotels.com. I have stayed at other hotels in Santa Marta and this one is way overpriced and not a 3 star hotel. The surroundings of the hotel do not seem safe at all. When we arrived at the hotel we had to carry our 50 on bag up the stairs because the elevator was broken and no one offered to carry them for us. Our room was dirty, some pillows didn’t have pillow cases, our bathroom had a bad smell, we had to kill around 20 mosquitoes and 1 cockroach. When we complained about this there was no one at the from desk, only a kid that was working as a doorman so the only solution the offered us after 30 min was a can of bug spray.

Good value for price, directly at the beach
The hotel has direct access to the beach, great for morning walks or swims. A little crowded in the afternoons, but still more relaxed than Rodadero Beach. The restaurant has a terrace with a great view. If you wanna have a room with a sea view, you must choose a room in the tall main building, on the upper floors. They cost a little more. From the pictures on hotels.com it is not so obvious which room has a view and which not. The more economic rooms are in a low building where you don't have a sea view. The management was very helpful and offered us an upgrade to a room with a view when we complained about the not-so-clear description of the rooms on hotels.com. The wi-fi does not work consistently in all corners of the hotel, but with a few steps you will always find a spot.
