acogedor
Pros:

desayuno rico, siempre habia alguien en recepción dispuesto a ayudar, ubicacion centrica, piscina bien aseada, cuarto bien comodo y aseado. Lo recomiendo bastante, fue muy acogedor.

Cons:

el hotel estaba excelente, el problema es que si eres mujer, caminar a los alrededores en la noche es peligroso, sobretodo en el trayecto desde plaza bolivar al hotel, pero a veces hay policias que resguardan la zona, igual el dueño me aviso que tomara esas precauciones. Esto se resuelve yendo y viniendo en taxi o caminando acompañada.

Pros:

Nice place, breakfast was good and the inner courtyard with the pool and mango tree is a very pleasant place to spend time! Not an overly fancy place but has everything you need and is very tasteful.

Loved my long term stay!
Pros:

It was my long term base in Santa Marta, what a perfect hotel for that, so relaxed, quiet, the patio was amazing, breakfast so tasty. I was working during my stay and the internet was spotless. Javier, the owner, is such a great person, as well as Jorge and the cleaning ladies, everyone very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay away from massive party hostels! Muchas gracias equipo!

Pros:

Ich mochte den schön gestalteten Innenhof unter freiem Himmel mit Pool, Grün und verschiedenen Sitzecken sowie Hängematten.

Ein Ruhepool in der Stadt.
WLan ermöglicht hier auch bequemes work & travel.

Es gibt den Service für Wäscherei und Gepäckaufbewahrung, Frühstück inklusive.

Sehr nettes zuverlässiges Personal!

Direkt in der Innenstadt.

Cons:

Die Zimmer gehen zum Hof - wenn hier Gäste bis spät in die Nacht noch laut reden/ feiern, ist Schlaf schwierig.

Pros:

This was not our first stay here, I think that speaks for itself. When we are in the Santa Marta area this is our go-to hotel. The staff and setting is just fantastic, Jorge truly makes you feel at home.

Ubicación hotel
Pros:

Excelente atención del personal, siempre dispuestos a ayudar.

Cons:

En si de las instalaciones, nada que decir, solo que la ubicación del hotel en la ciudad era algo caótica, ya que se escuchaba el sonido exterior muy fuerte dentro del recinto.

Pros:

Das Hotel Personal ist super nett und sehr hilfsbereit und macht alles möglich. Der Jacuzzi im Innenhof mit dem riesigen Mangobaum ist meine Oase gewesen. Die Zimmer liegen sehr praktisch um den Gemeinschafts Platz mit Außenküche fürs Frühstück. Mit einem Lächeln wird die gekaufte Mango perfekt geschnitten. Täglich wechselnder Saft. Frühstück gut. Kaffee über den Tag gratis. Die Polizei Station ist zwei Häuser weiter und immer präsent. Das gibt am Abend ein gutes Gefühl. Ich war länger als gedacht.
