The hotel was situated right on the beach so you couldn’t ask for a better location! The food was also delicious and the staff were all so kind, most of them able to speak / understand English. The rooms were also clean and designed in a way that felt like you were on a vacation (I’m not from Colombia). Definitely would recommend this place to family and friends!
Stayed in the premium suite that overlooks the ocean. Absolutely stunning. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food and drinks were fantastic. Would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommended.
Excellent service and comfortable facilities. The fact that it’s a small hotel makes the service personalized. We felt at home with the roaring sea right in front of us.
We enjoyed the food — in our opinion, one of the best culinary offerings in the area.
Die Zimmer sind sehr schön, allerdings sollte einem bewusst sein, dass eine Wand nicht wirklich eine Wand ist, sondern aus offenen Holzscharten besteht. Dadurch ist es in den Zimmern laut, sehr heiß und es können viele Tiere in die Zimmer. Allerdings ist das Moskitonetz sehr gut.
Die Wasserleitungen sind nicht sehr gut, sodass man sich mit dem Wasser nicht unbedingt waschen sollte.
Das Personal ist super freundlich und versucht einem stets behilflich zu sein.
