Hôtel au top
Pros:

Établissement très bien équipé les chambres sont spacieuses et les lits sont des vrais petits nuages tout doux. Le petits déjeuner sous forme de buffet parfait, il manquait cependant un peu de sucrée comme des pancake et confitures. La salle de sport était très bien, la fontaine à haut à disposition. La terrasse et la piscine étaient incroyable avec une vue superbe sur la ville. Le bar très sympa. L’accueil très souriant.

Cons:

Manque de chaise sur la terrasse vu la taille de l’hôtel.
Sinon rien tout était parfait.

Cheap & basic
Pros:

Ho pagato 50 usd a notte e per quel prezzo la soluzione è stata eccellente. Come tanti altri best western hanno completamente dimenticato di ingaggiare un designer ma in compenso è davvero confortevole e il personale è gentilissimo e preparato.
La piscina è piacevole e i prezzi del ristorante sono ragionevoli anche se il cibo non è fantastico ma semplicemente ok.
Si trova a un paio di isolati dal centro e si può andare a piedi in sicurezza.

Cons:

La colazione lascia molto a desiderare. Direi un 4 o al massimo 5 su 10. La qualità dei prodotti è scarsa ma per il prezzo pagato direi che va bene.
Santa Marta, se non si va al Tayrona non direi che merita una visita (opinione personale)
