    Good but it could be easily improved

    We stayed 3 nights and the breakfast option was very bad tbh, scrambled eggs + something else, and a few slices of fruit every single day. The menu of the restaurant has better options, but the food in general is regular. About the suite; it is on the 3rd floor, and I’d say it would be better to make it a bit childproof. The balcony is not secure, adding a simple net would be a plus for families with small kids. Last day, they had problems with water service, and eventualities can happen, but the personnel didn’t offer any type of option or retributions for this. We had to travel without having a shower.

    It’s a good value for the price you pay, I stay in the suite with 2 kids and wife, the room was comfy and clean, facilities also good

    We had the family room and it was a bit noisy early in the morning, in the back of our room. Not a big deal, but maybe worth a mention.

    Nice vibe, felt safe- staff permanently at the entrance. Large TV to watch football, nice pool, pool table and a fusball table. A nice small breakfast with coffee, but no other drinks.

    The location is far from the Center and Beach, you have always to take a taxi (specially in the night because is very dangerous). Also for use the Coworking will have to pay a aditional tax of 20K COP per day.

    The installation is very modern and beautiful. It has a good pool for the hot days that you always find in Santa Marta. The breakfast is very good also.

    Veggie burger

    We arrived late and they held the kitchen open so that we could order some food which was great. The veggie burger wasn't very nice but my friend had a meat burger which she said was delicious. Staff were super friendly.

    The location, unfortunately the neighborhood is not nice but is central, so if you want to go to the historical center is quite well.

    The place is great, the decoration, the house, the suite is very good!

    There was a small water issue for some hours (plus they did what they could for me to be confortable, by offering water jar). Also.. on the last night, even though I locked it, I woke up in the middle of the night and my door was wide open! I guess its because of the wind and cheaply made.. Just put something heavy in front and you should be ok. The overall place felt safe, but its just to be extra careful..Ah yeah and I had some problems with the Coworking wifi, had to go down closer to work.

    Really cute place, built around a big tree, with lots of plants. Pool is ok, smaller and less noisy than Viajero (which I appreciated!). Service was good. I appreciated that they were wacthing closely who was entering. I liked very much to top suite. You should try the conos at the restaurant!
