The hotel is lovely with great facilities and friendly staff. As with lots of Santa Marta great care is required when leaving the hotel after 7.30pm, although i didn’t see or experience any issues as used taxis to get around.

Terrific team and super helpful.
We took taxis to leave the hotel as the street is not pleasant.
Kitchen is good, spa services are excellent and the front desk staff were great about helping us find our way around. I would stay there again.

Amazing hotel. Very beautifully laid out, attention to detail is exceptionnal in the design. Staff is professional, helpful and polite. Pools and spas feel nice, lots of spots outside the room to just rest and enjoy. Plants everywhere make for a great natural ambiance. The walk from the most busy area can feel a bit sketchy at night but we did it (2 women) without any problem. If you were uncomfortable, it's a quick and cheap cab ride. Apart from that, it's a good five stars from me!

Safety is a major concern at this hotel given its location. I would not arrive/leave the hotel unless you take a taxi. I was truly shocked given the rating of the hotel. This is a fine hotel, but don’t expect 4 star quality or safety.
