Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers large and clean rooms with stunning ocean views, making for a great stay. The service was consistently helpful and polite, which added to the experience. However, the location is a bit far from downtown Santa Marta, and the dining experience could use some improvement, especially regarding food hygiene. Overall, it's an excellent value for the spacious accommodations and friendly service.
I recently stayed at a hotel that's in a decent spot, close to the airport but a bit removed from downtown and the beach. My room had a lovely view of the ocean, although it felt a bit old and stuffy. The staff was friendly and eager to help, which was a plus. However, I did have a less than ideal dining experience, finding a hair in my food, which was pretty off-putting. Overall, it was a decent stay with a few ups and downs.
My stay at Decameron Galleon in Santa Marta was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff was extremely friendly and willing to help with anything we needed. The location was decent, although a bit far from downtown and Rodadero Beach. The dining left a bit to be desired, especially after finding a hair in my food, but there were plenty of drink options. For the price, I think it offered good value, but the dining experience could definitely use some improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was convenient, just outside Santa Marta and close to the airport, which was a plus. The service was friendly, but the rooms could use some updates and weren't the coziest. The dining options were decent, but I did find something unpleasant in my food. Overall, it’s a fair stay for the price, especially for a quick visit.
