Deceiving pictures. If you want to stay at a two star hotel and pay for a 4-star, this is your place. Incredibly deteriorated for a 8y/o building. Finishes were cheap, maintenance poor, food not great and service below average. Pretty outdated even though the building is not that old. Amazing location and views; and pool itself is nice… but not the services and quality you’d expect. If this was a 2 star hotel and I had paid half I would be satisfied

Nothing Good About This Hotel, everything is in disrepair or old and outdated, this place can't be a 4 Star like in the expedia site, we felt cheated out our money, and the most amazing thing is that expedia did not give us a refund due to the property denies refunding us, the property offer another room and food vouchers to try to make us stay and the manager excuse the issues blaming a next door construction that was not mentioned on the time of booking.

Very deceptive and price insane

Very deceptive, compared to the photos… Breakfast impossible in a four stars with so bad and rare products! The room rate (for foreigners only? The visitors were exclusivy colombians)) is insane compared to this old hôtel… The day before, we paied less for a stage in the Hilton of Santa Marta, with high standarts and amazing buffet…
