About

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent location near the beach and historic sites — Just a 5-minute walk from the Gold Museum and steps from the marina, restaurants, and the Tayrona monument—guests consistently praised the convenience.
  • Strong staff service — Reception is available around the clock, and guests highlighted attentive, efficient, and friendly staff who gave great local recommendations.
  • Sea views from shared balconies — Several rooms open onto balconies with views of the ocean, a feature guests loved for relaxing in the evening.
  • Good value for money — Rates from £29 per night, and reviewers repeatedly noted that the price was fair for what you get, especially given the central location.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed reviews on room quality — While some found rooms spacious and comfortable, overall ratings for rooms were moderate (8.2), and a few guests didn't elaborate on the details. Expect functional rather than fancy.
  • Value rating lower than other aspects — Value scored 7.6, and one guest gave a 6/10 overall, suggesting that while the price is low, some may find the overall experience just okay for the cost.
  • No pets allowed — If you plan to travel with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere—the hotel does not permit animals.
  • Check-in window limited — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so if you arrive late, you'll need to arrange otherwise. Check-out is a generous 13:00.

“I was given a room with superb beach views. The spot was prime yet quiet, just off the ocean, near the marina, restaurants, cafeterias, shops, and the Gold Museum within walking distance. Parks offered shade on hot days, and there were nightclubs too—great value. A local fast-food place called La Sabrosa was five minutes on foot.”

7.8Verified guest

“Loved the sea views from the shared balcony, and the small pool was perfect for cooling off. After a day at the beach, relaxing on the patio was a dream. The location couldn't be better, with easy access to the beach and local restaurants a short walk away.”

“This hotel is pleasant with great amenities like fast Wi-Fi, a 24-hour reception, and a relaxing pool. On my first stay, the staff recommended amazing local delivery that I still remember fondly. Highly recommended.”
