It’s not the safest neighborhood to walk in after dark. This wasn’t really an issue since it’s easy/cheap to grab a taxi. We did walk to the waterfront from the hotel around 4pm and it was fine.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. We were able to chat over WhatsApp so could arrange taxis for the next day while we were out. We also ate a few dinners at the hotel after long days in Tayrona and the food and drinks were great. The pool and hammocks were also a highlight. We looked forward to coming back to the hotel every day.

The area is not the best, but you can get anywhere with uber or inDrive. The ac in our room did not get as cold as we would’ve wanted, but it was manageable with the fan.

It’s a cute small hotel with friendly staff. The pool is beautiful and the food at the restaurant is good. There is a very lovely turtle walking around the pool area also that adds to the cuteness. The colors and decorations at the hotel give a lovely feel, we also liked the relaxing hammock areas. My daughter did not notice that she left her headphones in the room after check-out and the staff sent us messages and pictures to let us know and helped us get it back.

The bed was a little hard.

Camali Hotel is a quiet, lovely, hacienda style oasis tucked away in a residential area of busy Santa Marta. I loved the decor, the pool, the restaurant with great food and the staff was very attentive.

The location but we also didn’t like the city itself much.

Everything was perfect. What a nice spot into a city that was not alike anything into this little resort.

I stayed at Camali hotel whilst my partner was in hospital and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. They made sure I had everything I needed, called taxis and checked in on me. The actual hotel is lovely and relaxing. Having the onsite restaurant/cafe was great. 100% recommend this hotel!

Is not in the historical center of Santa Marta but you can get there in 5 minutes by taxi and is very cheap

The property is freshly renovated and corresponds to the pictures.

Nothing to report

This place is phenomenal compared to the rest of Santa Marta, if I was honest i’d prefer to stay in this hotel than go anywhere else in Santa Marta! Food is phenomenal, staff are great and the general feel is brilliant.

Nothing that comes to mind.

An absolute oasis of calm amongst the bustle of Santa Marta. A work of art in itself, the designs and abundant plant life had a relaxing and re-energising effect. The rooms were comfortable and cleaned every day.
