I had an amazing stay at this boutique hotel in the heart of Santa Marta. The property was beautiful and the warm welcome from the staff made it feel like home. The pool area was delightful, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. However, the window in our ground-floor room felt a bit odd, and the noise from the square at night could be distracting. Overall, the experience was fantastic, with a truly outstanding breakfast and exceptional service.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel is right in the chaos of the city, which was a bit overwhelming, and my room felt cramped with no real windows. However, I really appreciated the attentive service provided by the staff, who did their best to accommodate me. Additionally, my experience in the dining area was great, and I enjoyed waking up to a nice breakfast each morning.
