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.
