Muy bien la atención y el hecho que está cerca a la playa. Sin embargo las instalaciones comunes no estaban en tan buen estado (baños, piscina, area de juegos). Además el acceso más cercano a la playa es bastante oscuro e inseguro.

Once at our arrival, Jose greeted us with a broad smile. Very attentive and friendly. He took his time to explain every aspect of the hotel and was very helpful when we needed help for directions. If i ever go back to Santa Marta, i would stay in this hotel without hesitation. Highly recommend 5 star!!
