The room was very big and had a good view. I opted for the sofa bed but next I will choose doble bed. The mattress on the sofa bed was too thing and my daughter complained of the metal bothering her. The shower and bathroom were very nice. It had a big TV and many channels. The food was very good and the staff friendly.

This place is amazing!!! From the wonderful welcome by the staff Harrison and Angelina, we felt immediately that we were among friends!! The views from the room, accommodations, to attending to all of our needs—extra towels, blankets, room service, etc. this is a place I will come back with friends and family. Juan, the beach concierge attendant was also very accommodating and the private beach associated with the hotel was even better than the beach tours we went on. So grateful we chose here to stay and for sure, we will be back!!

My worst experience in Colombia!!! The staff at this Hotel was very rude. Very strange for Colombia. I have lived in Colombia for three years and have never been treated so poorly. I hope there are changes at this hotel, because the hotel is very nice, but the staff is horrible, except for one great bellman: Nobot. After my first day at this hotel, I was ready to go home. One example of how bad my experience was is that I had to change rooms for the noise from the airport (which is not far from the hotel). They gave me a room facing the airport, and I could not hear myself think. When they changed my room, I left a blazer in the closet. The next day, the manager of the front desk returned my blazer, thrown into a used plastic trash bag. I was happy to get my jacket back and said thank you. From the appearance, I guess the cleaning staff was going to throw the jacket away, and the manager from the front desk had no problem returning my property in a trash bag. That was the beginning of horrible experiences at this hotel. Please think twice before you book a stay at this hotel.
