This hotel isn't managed well. We waited 10 minutes at the beach bar before 8 workers talking amongst themselves decided to serve us. Staff was friendly. Pool area was gross. We stayed 3 nights and the pool was never cleaned.
The pools had lots of algae growing on the bottom.
Leaves and other things that were never removed.
Pool area. There's a lot of bird droppings that were never cleaned up over a 3 day stay.
Black mold on the toilet.

Reception for checking in and out was very good. Service at the restaurant was excellent, especially for breakfast, and the food was good. The door to our room needed repair and was tended to quickly once we advised reception. The rooms are a bit dated but comfortable and clean, though the bathroom floor could have been better. One of the pools and the jacuzzi were closed for cleaning during our 3-day stay but the other pool was available and well maintained. Access to the beach is great, as is the service on the beach from the hotel. We will recommend and stay at this hotel again.

Las habitaciones son limpias y el servicio en el restaurante fue muy bueno. Sin embargo los precios de los platos que ofrecen para el almuerzo y cena son demasiado costosos. Lo que me parecio terrible fue que una masajista llamada "Janeth"que era parte del hotel y que hace masajes en la playa, me hizo un masaje el cual me dejo sin poder caminar al siguiente dia. Yo me deje hacer el masaje ya que uno de los trabajadores del bar Chiringuito me confirmo que la señora Janeth trabajaba para el hotel y que era de confiar. Yo me queje con la jefe de administracion. Ella me dijo que hablaria con las personas de Chiringuito. Al parecer la masajista fue contratada por el jefe de seguridad del hotel. Ella portaba el chaleco morado al igual que el resto del personal que trabaja en el hotel. Desafortunadamente, no me dieron ninguna ninguna respuesta. Tuve que pagar el.l servicio médico. Realmente no recomendaria este hotel a mis familiares ni amigos.

We had booked three nights and it was the third time we visited the hotel within ten years. The hotel staff are very service friendly and the rooms were clean and nice, although a little worn. The location of the hotel is fantastic, right next to a private beach. We had a lovely stay as always❤️

En general, la experiencia fue buena y el hotel es cómodo. Solo tuvimos una experiencia maluca con un par de arañas en la habitación y el personal es un poco cerrado a servicios de aplicaciones (aunque avisé antes, no dejaron entrar a un Uber que solicité y tuve que caminar a la portería, y a los repartidores les ponen mucho problema).

Muy mal. Se tuvo un error en la fecha de selección de la reserva y Hotels.com no ayudo a resolver este error. Es muy grave que castiguen a los clientes del grupo Expedia y se escuden en que el hotel no les ayudo. La plataforma puede reubicar a un nuevo cliente porque son hoteles de alta demanda turística. Eso es traición a un cliente. Pienso en rertirarme como usuario del grupo Expedia y de su filial Hotels.

Great hotel for the price. Staff was really friendly. Bar and food were good but service was slow. Great pool and huge sandy beaches. Noise from aircraft is irritating but not constant.

Sehr schöne, sehr gut gepflegte und sichere Ferienanlage. Große Zimmer. Sauberer Strand. In der Umgebung wenig Abwechslung aber Santa Marta in 30 Min Taxifahrt gut erreichbar. Etwas Spanischkenntnisse helfen. Die Latino-Pop Berieselung aus verschiedenen Lautsprechern am Strand ist nichts für Leute die Ruhe suchen.
