I liked that it was on the Caribbean Sea. I liked all of the staff. I liked that it was in a safe area. I didn’t like the fact that the toilet had to be flushed three times.

We always stay here when visiting Santa Marta 2 or 3 times a year. We love it and have no reason to look elsewhere. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, the rooms are nice with beautiful beach and sunset views, the on-site Tamaca tours are outstanding, we love it.

Older hotel with a great beach location
Older hotel with a great location. They've done a good job of keeping it updated. Not a luxury stay, but good enough if you want a central location on the beach with amazing views. I was on the top floor and had floor to ceiling ocean view, as the entire wall facing the ocean is a giant window. Staff is very nice. I will say it took 40 minutes to check in, which was both strange and frustrating. Other than that, we had a nice stay here.

I never felt that my belongings were safe in the room. Rooms are plain and boring. Some staff were rude and others were very helpfull. They offered insurance against theft. My responce to them was tell your staff not to steal my stuff. The beach outside is dirty and plagued with barkers, peddlers and thiefs. Someone bothers you ever 30 seconds for you to buy something.

The hotel is very nice and the pool is very relaxing and beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like was we got the old room with the old furniture and the view to beach was attached with the garbage container. I saw my other friends room and it was a nice room. So I believe is luck. But the people and service is good.

Tired-looking, but clean & functional. Great pool
Tired-looking older hotel, but well-maintained and fully functional. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner buffets were decent, but not particularly tasty. The large and clean pool was the best part, especially helpful because the sun gets especially hot here, and you burn easily. The one big issue was the beach scene just beyond the hotel. The hotel itself only provides a few white tent cabanas, which were full when we got there. In front of the hotel cabanas were a bunch of blue cabanas for rent, but they wanted $50k, and seemed to get upset when we declined it. Lots of overly persistent hawkers, selling trips and experiences, who were unwilling to take no for an answer. The beach itself is non-descript with a small cordoned-off swimming area and lots of people swimming. You're better off going to beaches in the Parque Tayrona or further East, where the beaches are spectacular. P.s. if you're planning to visit Parque Tayrona, check carefully if its open. Its closed for maintenance a few weeks a year, which may change from year-to-year.

The food is terrible
The food is not good here. It’s very disappointing because it’s a beautiful place with a great location. I tried the dinner buffet one night but it was dry and over cooked fish and really not a lot of choice. I decided to order lunch off the regular menu, I had a quinoa salad with shrimp that gave me good poisoning and took 2days to recover
