I arrived at the hotel two hours before check-in and they offered to give me the room if I paid 20,000 pesos. The next day I wanted to change the room because there was a lot of noise and they wanted to charge me and they wanted to give me a room on the sixth floor without hot water when I know there were rooms on the same floor and with the same amenities that I had paid for. the restaurant was a total disaster due to the visit of large groups of children and adults. the adults drank and yelled until dawn. disastrous . there was even a fight between these groups with shouts and blows. .

Not recommended. Other hotels would be better.
Not recommended. Very basic hotel, does not feel clean. Very noisy street. Poor quality room, does not exceed 2 star rating. Shocking, Trimmers on high floors of building, almost felt like small quakes. No wifi in room, only in lobby, and very slow. Bathroom door barely opens halfway, as the tiny hand sink blocks the door. Dark lobby during the day, as no lights are turned on. That area in general is really dirty, Will never stay there again.

The room was nothing like pictures!

The property is really close to the beach. One of thes building in town. If you are looking for a quite place, this is not the one. Too much noise from the upper rooms and a too crowded lobby

Couple of days in Sta Marta
Not far from the beach main gathering area made it a good location and based on the price per night can't complaint on the hotel accomodations. During off season next time I may rent right in the beach with ocean view since all the hotels in the area are discounted
