Kudos from our whole family, we loved it!
The whole family really enjoyed this hotel. First, it felt safe with guards at entrance and exits. Then, the facilities are great for kids, the two pools and the proximity to the beach. The restaurant also serves great food with a buffet breakfast. We used this hotel as our base to explore the surrounding areas, cities, beaches and the famous Tayrona Park. We also left our car there while travelling by plane to Medellin. The four of us highly recommand this hotel! Kudos!

We stayed for 7 days. Too long really but it gave us a few days to travel via land transportation to Cartagena. Now for my review, it was pleasant stay.! Very friendly and hospitable staff. We had a problem with our microwave..they came right away to replace. Clean pristinely kept room with a lovely view. Desk personnel were ingratiating and super attentive. Our stay was wonderful. My tips.. You need to buy drinks and snacks to store in refrigerator . It can be costly since the restaurant is the only spot available for any type of consumption. You are several km away from the center. Ubers and taxis can rack up. If you are adventurous, any easy cross of the main road there are those little blue buses that take you to the center for 2700 pesos. When in Rome..do as the Romans. Purchase large bottles of water. Colombia seems to prefer selling water at any sitting. Carry with you. There is nothing outside the hotel walls. Make your trips to the market count. The restaurant is lovely which included breakfast. But it can be understaffed. Not unusual to see people getting their own coffee and silverware from where they can. The pool, it’s enormous and kept clean. Pool bar for a charge. The beach, the water is not CLEAR…THE SAND IS NOT WHITE. So please be aware. It’s volcanic and tends to be darker. But it’s pleasant and refreshing and the sunsets are magnificent. Those beaches are available for a cost. Remember lots of families and older crowd. No party clowns! A plus!

It's a nice hotel, our suite was comfortable. I did not like that they charged a small fee daily per person for insurance because the first time I heard about it was at check out. It's away from everywhere which It's an advantage if you are planning to stay in the hotel all the time but not if you have business to do in the city which was our case. Food is delicious, service is good. I am not happy with the spa service which is not really offered by the hotel but another business, the girls that came to do mani-pedi were rude, overall, lack of customer service skills, we had a relaxing massage and it was ok.
