BANG FOR THE BUCK.

This is a nice hotel simply on the strength of the staff. It's the thing that makes coming back worth it. I still have the same complaints about how hot the water gets for the bathtub which I think is something they can fix but like most hotels if you get a large bed they put two twin beds together and as you know if you roll to the middle it's going to be a problem for your back but it's nice if you are a couple. The pool area is very nice. The staff here is very friendly along with the maids or cleaning personnel however you call them.

The staff are not trained in customer service with foreigners. The service at the pool was terrible, without attention, very poor bathroom cleaning, there was no internet connection during the stay. A complaint was made and they did not fix it. Terrible, like a hotel with an excellent location. They do not know how to handle foreigners. The staff was unfriendly. They can improve!

HOT WATER ISSUE BUT DECENT ROOM

Of course as usual in Barranquilla the front desk staff and the porters were gracious and I have no complaints about that. My major complaint is about the room and not having hot water. I requested that it would be fixed but is lukewarm to cold at best. The other issue I have is a sore back because the bed is two twin beds that they put together so if you sleep in the middle throughout the night you wake up with a sore back for landing in the crack space. While the room is clean and the cleaning ladies do a magnificent job these two issues dealt with my overall comfort and it would be something that I would address if I chose it for another visit. The room outside of those two issues is large and nice as far as aesthetics. The hot water and bed is Major for why I gave the rating that I gave. I would stay here again but choose a different room because of how nice the staff is.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort
The room was very clean and of course housekeeping was good but I had a major problem in that there was really limited hot water for showers and the bathtub didn't really function at all with also having no hot water. I picked the room that I did for the bathtub in particular so that I can soak muscles and take care of you know cleanliness and relaxation with hot water but there was none to be had in the tub and only about 5 minutes worth of warm water before it went cold in the shower. When I asked for a light bulb for one of the lamps I was just told just to use the one on the desk instead of having a light bulb for the one on the desk and the floor lamp. So I was disappointed in that as well. The major thing was not having hot water for the bathtub.

They did not honor hour guaranteed reservation and tried charging our card for the whole amount instead of pay at hotel. Then when we arrived 1 hour before checkin they already gave out room. No apologies, no help finding an alternative. I WAS HOMELESS IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY!

DO NOT STAY HERE - NOISY

I had Room 206, the lowest room in the hotel on the corner of the building. It overlooked the pool and breakfast room. They played loud music in the pool from 8am to 8pm all day. They also played music from the breakfast room. This was a very uncomfortable stay. They refused to switch rooms or give a refund. There was also a banquet room nearby which was not used, but also could have provided noise too. The room was also dated. The corner room also absorbed all the noise at night from the street. Probably the worst hotel experience that I ever had. Do not stay here. Try another hotel or upgrade to another one in Barranquilla.

25 COP ($6 USD) for taxi from BAQ to hotel. Cabbies vary, but you can haggle. Hotel Staff was great. Karen and Gabriella, in the dining room are excellent, always attentive and genial. Pool closed for maintenance on Mondays, closes daily at 7:50.PM; most inconvenient. Steam room and dry sauna were out of order. Room was without hot water for 2 days. I told the front desk, the 3rd morning and they turned it on, before 10AM. Bathroom was spacious, shower was large and very good water pressure. Toilet takes work to flush, regardless of contents; very low pressure. Only two towels, no face or hand cloths. Soap and shampoo provided. In room fridge works well, after you plug it in. No currency exchange, in hotel. Need to walk out, take a right and if the one a few doors down is closed, walk another few blocks and there are several, on the opposite corner. Free Breakfast varies by day and was very good. Hamburgers are very good. Dinner was excellent! Had some shrimp in a sauce combo. Beer and scotch at very good prices! Yes, I would return here.
