Cons: .

Pros: Services, rooms clean, beach clean

Cons: All great

Pros: They stated that the hotel was located in the Rodadero, the hotel is located over 15 min away by taxi.I booked the hotel based on being located in the Rodadero region. I requested a refund with no luck..

Pros: Location was amazing! I would recommend they use a more comfortable pool chairs and tanning beds. We were definitely expecting something better than plastic stuff.

Cons: If you don't speak Spanish, don't come here. Definitely don't try to eat in the restaurant. The internet advertising said many languages are spoken here. Good luck with that. I don't speak the language, I don' expect

Pros: Beautiful

Pros: In part is a good location for families (especially with small children). The pools are nice as the beach. The problem is not the place but the managment, TERRIBLE!

Cons: i have booked a king suit with kitchen (not because i need it). In the room there was a 20 lt water tank for which you had to pay (if consumed, and we consumed obviously) and a covid prevention kit (masks, gel etc) for which was not told that if used we had to pay (just to be precise). Nothing more in the room, no coffe and tea, no bottles of water (of course there was the tank). In the structure there are several restaurantes but in the main one you should reserve otherwise the table is not guaranteed which can be understandeble for lunch and dinner, but not for the breakfast for which without reservation you had to wait for a table. In general the food was at very low level, especially the seafood for which (considering the place in front of the sea) you expect fresh fish, but no, was frozen. We eat kids menu (an advice, for kids is more comfortable to eat short pasta as penne than spaghetti). I can't say the structure was dirty (even if the water of some pools was not exactly crystal clear) but seeing Iguanas long more than 1 meter walking around in the common areas (even in the kids area) and pigeons and other birds eating on the dining table the remaining food was not exactly transferring a sensation of cleanliness. Regarding the room service, every time we needed anything we had to use the broken phone to communicate with the reception which anytime was replying that we had to call the extention (basically long as a cellular number) of the service requested (probably to much difficult to transfer directly). The day we left at the check ou, with my big surprise, i noticed that i was paying the entire 20 lt water tank (used probably 2 lt) and something like 3 EUR for one mask (from the covid prevention kit) for which even in Italy at the highest point of the pandemic lockdown the cost didnt arrive at 3 EUR. Las but not least, the added "volountary tips" to all the check (yes i signed but i dont speak spanish).

Pros: The property was great and service and food really good

Cons: The check out process was a disaster. Without any bio security and with planning.

Pros: Staff very friendly. Well established COVID-19 protocols. Waiter Victor at Mazinga y Nenguaje restaurants was always very friendly and customer focused.

Cons: Music in the restaurant. Was always the same and played over and over during one seating.

Pros: Friendly place to bring the family. Fantastic staff. Very helpful. Good food

Cons: Checking out was time consuming

Pros: the swimming pools, the location, the beach

Cons: food is not good and very expensive, cleanliness in some areas, not many activities for kids

Pros: Comida, ubicación y playa

Pros: The room was OK and overall clean.

Cons: Terrible terrible terrible service! I stayed for 4 nights and no day or night was good! Always something happening. First we got to the hotel, and they didn't want to let us in through the gate to get checked in because we didn't have a room#..hey! Hello? How am I going to give you a room# if I haven't checked in? Then we got to the restaurant and they say we couldn't sit inside because they were closing but we would still receive the same service outside: and we had to wait. For half an hour for someone who would take our order. Every time we went to the restaurant, the service was so slow. We had to wait even like an hour for a small dish of fruit. Did they went to grow the fruit or what? One time that we ordered. Meat, the meat was bad! It even caused us a stomachache. Also, I asked for this room to be next to my family's room and they said when I was going to check in that I never mentioned that before. Also, we went to eat outside, and they were 5 rooms represented in the car, and they didn't want to let us in. Furthermore, one time I ordered an ice cream, and the girl never brought it; when I asked for it, she said she never got clarification on the flavor, but hey if you were confused you didn't ask for clarification either and decided to ignore it. additionally, we went to the pool one afternoon, and the odor was extremely disgusting!!!! This is nowhere near a 5 star service hotel!! Please look for a different one for your stay if you want to get good service!

Pros: - The facilities were beautiful - The pool was nice - The beach was clean, very well kept - Door men were very attentive - Away from the main stream beaches but close enough for a short drive to Santa Marta and Rodadero for food - 5 minutes from airport

Cons: - Front desk service was awful and not welcoming. (The entire lobby is quiet and an awkward first experience) - Food - Room service has awkward times - Can't buy basic things anywhere after hours including water! - Breakfast food was ok - Bar at pool makes horrible beverages. We had their margaritas and coconut beverage. - WiFi coverage was bad in room. Fine on balcony.

Pros: The location was great: pools, beach access and the overall kindness of those serving. I liked the hospitality provided, but would suggest a better companionship and information on the available activities

Cons: When we were trying to call in to me dinner reservations, they took too long and could not help us. We had to go down to the reception to carry out with the process

Pros: I like everything. I was on the Lago, the new building and it was amazing.

Cons: More variety of food

Pros: Great place on the beach, room with sea view, several swimming pools, bars and restaurants, lots of equipments. Very nice people. We had to leave earlier due to coronavirus crisis to go back home in Europe, the hotel accepted to cancel the rest of our booking without charging us for the remaining nights. Thanks a lot. We will come back to your beautiful place.

Pros: Location is right on the beach and they offered free water for guests. Our private room was nice and even with only fan was not too hot at night.

Cons: The food was overpriced and not that good and the kitchen was very basic. The staff spoke very limited English and there are no shops close by. There is also no where to relax unless you are at the bar.

Pros: Location is great, right in front of the sea, staff is helpful, friendly and polite. Good breakfast included in the price and good food available throughout the day. The rooms are good and spacious, both dorms and private rooms. The beach is better than all the beaches I've seen around the area and you can enjoy amazing sunsets. I would definitely come back (actually, I WILL come back for sure)

Pros: The location was great— right on the beach, but a 20 minute drive to Central Santa Marta.

Cons: Maybe a little overpriced

Cons: Difficult to schedule shuttle bus. You need to request it at least a day ahead of time; they did not send an email confirmation after 2 calls to schedule, but they were there with my name when we arrived. They stop service around 6 PM so if you have a late flight you will need to pay a taxi. The trip is short but the taxi flat rate is around 20K. Taxis are a rip-off in Santa Marta but this has nothing to do with the hotel.

Pros: The privacy and the view were absolutely perfect.

Pros: The service is top notch! The staff, for the most part, were incredibly courteous, accommodating, helpful and kind. The breakfast was amazing, the views from our room were lovely. The hotel is located a short walk from the beach and it's very quiet at night. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience.

Cons: The administrator, Zoraya, tried to rip us off by charging us COP $40k to fry 2 fish that we had purchased ourselves, without even letting us know. Meanwhile, the day before, we paid COP$30k for two executive lunches with items fully provided by the hotel. Mind you, in a 15 story building, my mom and I were the only guests! It felt as though this woman wanted to justify making ends meet through me and didn't even have the courtesy to let me know... This is not an issue of money; it's a matter of principle. I did bring it up to the general manager and he did apologize to me. I wanted to extend my stay in this place indefinitely but that was the deterring factor that made me leave. To all of you staying here: beware of that lady.

Pros: No crazy klaxon here, that's something. Relatively quiet. View. Staff is very very nice.

Cons: One of the toilet were not cleaned

Pros: Cocktails available at pool and nice staff at the bar and at the breakfast.

Cons: Even though non drinkable water in taps, hotel didn’t provide water. Possible to buy with airport price at the lobby. The lamps in room with European cable while they didn’t fit to socket at the wall???! Wind makes windows loud all night long. Pool rather small. Jacuzzi always closed you have to travel downstairs with very slow elevator to ask them to open the gates for you even on opening hours. Place in the middle of nowhere the beach near but not beautiful at all.

Pros: Personnel were all excellent

Cons: There was a hidden insurance fee we were charged at arrival. I told them, it would had been better to charge that as part of the full fee, because those things are uncomfortable
