2/10 Poor

Very deceptive and price insane

Very deceptive, compared to the photos… Breakfast impossible in a four stars with so bad and rare products! The room rate (for foreigners only? The visitors were exclusivy colombians)) is insane compared to this old hôtel… The day before, we paied less for a stage in the Hilton of Santa Marta, with high standarts and amazing buffet…

The ocean views are amazing, the breakfast is good and they have fair variety, but on our first night the hotel had no running water and we were stuck before our tour. We contacted reception and they kept lying until they said that the entire area had no running water. That is wack because a hotel is supposed to provide 24/7 water. Would stay there again? It’s a no from me due to that inconvenience.

The hotel is in a great location close to everything. The room we stayed had a great ocean view. But we had bo hot water, the a/c only worked partially, the electric and USB outlets didn't work, we couldn't call to report these problems became our phone didn't work either. We reported all of these at tbe front desk but nothing was done about it in tbe 2 days we stayed.

The service, personnel was excellent. The hotel has great location is in front of the beach, but it doesn’t has chairs or umbrellas . You have to rent those items to other people. First time I experience these discomfort, usually you don’t bring money to the beach especially if your hotel it is on front of the beach

2/10 Poor

I asked Expedia to help me recover my money the second day I was at this place. I don’t think it should be included in any of your listings as a place to go. It’s very expensive, and it needs to be closed down. It’s very, very gross
cande, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

No one speaks English. The all inclusive, was not. The buffet breakfast was extremely limited. And barely edible. No hot water. Stay elsewhere

6/10 Good

House keeping needs more attention. There were some areas that were not cleaned, or were moldy. Food served at the buffet was good, but portion sizes were small and limited. Staff were nice enough but not friendly/inviting. The elevator doors close too sudden and quick, which is a hazard. The pool area are very small for a big hotel.
Marlyn, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

The windows were too filthy to see our of so the ocean view room we got was pointless.
Grace, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Good location that’s it Otherwise It’s the worst hotel I’ve been to. Room had a sewer smell, the tv did not work, the lavatory is in the bedroom no inside the bathroom, no garbage pan in the room, top it off poor customer service. DO NOT STAY THERE if you like nice places.
