Nothing Good About This Hotel, everything is in disrepair or old and outdated, this place can't be a 4 Star like in the expedia site, we felt cheated out our money, and the most amazing thing is that expedia did not give us a refund due to the property denies refunding us, the property offer another room and food vouchers to try to make us stay and the manager excuse the issues blaming a next door construction that was not mentioned on the time of booking.

Very deceptive and price insane

Very deceptive, compared to the photos… Breakfast impossible in a four stars with so bad and rare products! The room rate (for foreigners only? The visitors were exclusivy colombians)) is insane compared to this old hôtel… The day before, we paied less for a stage in the Hilton of Santa Marta, with high standarts and amazing buffet…

The ocean views are amazing, the breakfast is good and they have fair variety, but on our first night the hotel had no running water and we were stuck before our tour. We contacted reception and they kept lying until they said that the entire area had no running water. That is wack because a hotel is supposed to provide 24/7 water. Would stay there again? It’s a no from me due to that inconvenience.

My jewelry went missing here. Property advertises amenities that are falling apart. Cheap vibes here. They will nickel and dime you wherever they can. For example, you’ll pay $45USD per person if your family stops by during the day.
