Everything was great, the hotel, the staff was really friendly. My only complaint, and I felt cheated, not to say robbed, was the boat trip they offered me to the Rosario Islands. I paid $1,000 for nothing, a complete rip-off. I complained several times at reception and to the concierges, and they did nothing to alleviate the disappointment. Don't accept any boat trips if they are offered to you.

Hands-down, the staff was very polite. But for a resort, there’s nothing open late at night to eat, and it was also very quiet and boring in the evenings- it didn’t have the Columbia vibe The rooms are awesome, and the staff is great!

Loved our stay here. The place was so immaculately maintained, the landscaping was so beautiful, and with live plants even in the bathrooms, the place had the upscale feeling that we paid for. This is expensive - considering this is Colombia, but we lived our stay. The restaurants on site were also very good - breakfast at Calablanca was not the run of the mill hotel breakfast. We had dinner at Bahia twice - everything was delicious. Service staff were super friendly and cheerful all the time Beach was clean and calm. Not much seaweed to speak of Highlight or our trip
