A hidden tropical oasis in Santa Marta
Pros:

The accommodation is surrounded by trees, giving it a peaceful, tropical oasis feel. I chose a suite with its own private rooftop pool, and I am so glad I did. I spent three nights there. Colombia is hot —and I really cannot stress this enough. The combination of heat and humidity can be intense, so being able to cool off in the pool at the end of each day was an absolute luxury. If your budget allows, I highly recommend upgrading to one of these suites.

The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Both the air conditioning and ceiling fan worked exceptionally well, making it easy to escape the heat. The shower provided consistently hot water, and having a safe in the room was an added bonus, giving me peace of mind when storing my passport and valuables.

The beach is within easy walking distance, as are several inexpensive restaurants that are popular with the locals, making it a great area to experience authentic Colombian food.

The real highlight for me, however, was the breakfast. It is served on the first-floor landing beneath a lush canopy of trees. Sitting there each morning, surrounded by greenery with fresh coffee in hand, was a truly beautiful way to start the day.ather than a buffet with food left sitting out all morning, every breakfast is freshly cooked to order. It begins with a bowl of fresh fruit and Colombian coffee, and each table has a menu from which you can choose your breakfast, accompanied by fresh fruit juice. I would strongly recommend trying some Colombian specialities such as cayeye, arepas, and patacones.

The staff were consistently warm, friendly, and professional. On my first evening, I enjoyed a wonderful meal at the famous Gausimo Restaurant, located directly opposite the hotel. Like many properties in Colombia, access is controlled by a doorbell, but the reception desk is staffed 24 hours a day. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated the added sense of security this provided.

Cons:

Colombia is a vibrant, energetic country, and everywhere I stayed, there was music, nightlife, and entertainment nearby. Many reviews mention the noise, and yes, you can hear music in the evenings. However, I was born and raised in a lively city myself, so it honestly didn't seem particularly loud to me. In fact, it almost became background white noise, and I slept straight through it every night.

If you're a very light sleeper, it's something worth considering before you book. But if you enjoy nightlife (even though I personally don't), then embrace it. Go dancing, learn a little salsa, enjoy a few drinks, and take a moment to appreciate the fact that you have the health, freedom, and opportunity to experience such a wonderful country.

Lovely place and staff and overall a great stay
Pros:

Very pretty, clean and comfortable in a great location close to beach front and the centre. One of the best restaurants in the town directly opposite.

Cons:

The nearby rooftop bar which played very loud music until between 1am and 3am. I had a suite on the top floor. Maybe if you had a room lower down in the hotel you would not be affected so much.

I recommend as a budget friendly, quaint hotel.
Pros:

This was a very nice little hotel and budget friendly. Charming with nice colonial architecture and style..
The beds were comfortable, we had AC, and the bathroom was clean with a fine shower.
The staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Located in the historic center which we wanted, we knew there could be some noise, but as suggested in other reviews, at somewhere around midnight it seemed like the external nightlife noise was just switched off.

Pros:

Siempre han sido nuestros hoteles preferidos en Santa Martha, excelente atención, desayuno y con todo lo necesario

Cons:

Tiene que renovar la ventaneria y empezar a insonorizar las habitaciones porque el ruido de la calle es exagerado y el hotel está empezando a perder su encanto de tranquilidad y comodidad.
