Rooms were good size, bed very comfortable, view from the balcony was spectacular. The steam room in the spa was great as I haven't found many places in Colombia that have them. Pool area was nice though we didn't use it as we were only there one night. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

The place is incredible highly recommend - in the center of santa Marta and very close of the sea. Everything was very clean and the room is spacious. Beds comfortable and the Moroccan inspired decoration is very beautiful. The hosts Roseline & Mar were so sweet and gave us so many tips for our trip - thank you!!! 🥰 The breakfast was delicious and the service amazing - we could choose from quite some options! Don’t miss out on the natural juice Lulo! Will come back for sure if I am around. ☺️

Everything in the hotel itself was perfect. Wonderful rooftop, great clean rooms and really excellent facilities. They do Spanish lessons too for all levels and the teacher Paula is amazing. The Spanish lessons really helped me to master basic Spanish in shops, restaurants and transportation. Highly recommended!

The hotel has a convenient location, close to the city center and the main city beach (around 10 minutes walk). The hotel has a free indoor parking through a ramp. The rooms were clean and the internet was fast. The swimming pool on the rooftop terrace has a nice bar and enough couches and sun beds. Also, next to the couches is a "cool room" for people to enjoy A/C cooled air while next to the pool.
