The apartment was big and clean with all the things you need for a good stay. Very good location close to the market, the bus stop, the stores and the restaurants. The staff is super helpful and kind. The breakfast comes with a lot of fresh fruit, eggs, avocadoes! Very nice service at a very reasonable price. I would choose it again when staying in Santa Marta.

Rooms were good size, bed very comfortable, view from the balcony was spectacular. The steam room in the spa was great as I haven't found many places in Colombia that have them. Pool area was nice though we didn't use it as we were only there one night. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

Best location around Santa Marta. Amazing place by the beach. Good variety of food for fair price. The staff are just amazing and make you feel as a family. Very helpful with the host but also with people around town. We did a charity event for feed the poor around Santa Marta organised by the hostel is was just amazing. I just recommend this place for anyone.

Relaxing stay right on the beach. More of just a basic room, the place doesn’t have much of an atmosphere, but the views and the sound of the ocean is so calming. Restaurant just opening 2 doors down.. ‘El conche y nancar’ - best fish I’ve eaten in Colombia!

Perfect location on the beachfront, the owners were friendly and did a fantastic job of sweeping sand out to keep it clean Able rent surf boards and surf within a short walk. Can watch the surfers from the hotel searst. It was still possible to swim in the wave, or go down to the river for calmer water and excellent views of the jungle All the hotels along the beach are pretty much the same but here the chairs out front were in the shade all day which wasn't the case for all of them which was a big bonus

We stayed in a private room which was great. Good value for money. Basic but has everything you need. It’s 20 min drive out of the main part of Santa Marta, but we stayed here for a night to be closer to the airport and we were impressed with the location. Right on the beach, and the restaurant is well priced and good food! Amazing sunset views from restaurant too.
