Obiekt z dużym potencjałem, przepiękny ogrĆ³d, oczka wodne, basen , lokalizacja na uboczu- idealna atmosfera żeby odpocząć. Trzeba brać pod uwage ze hotel znajduje się naprawdę w odosobnieniu- nad morze, do sklepu itp można dojść spacerem ale po zachodzie słońca jest bardzo ciemno. TaksĆ³wki w tej okolicy są tylko prywatne, więc jest to duży koszt, ale funkcjonuje autobus na trasie Santa Marta- palomino. Co było na minus to ceny w hotelu - woda 2.5 USD to duża przesada i powoduje niesmak i poczucie chęci ā€œzdarciaā€ z gościa jak największej ilości pieniędzy mimo ze sam pobyt już nie był tani. w hotelowej restauracji ceny też powyżej przeciętnej, jedzenie dobre. Do naszego domku hotel nie miał zapasowego klucza, bo został zgubiony przez poprzednich gości i czekali na dorobienie, przez co przez cały pobyt nie mieliśmy serwisu sprzątania i gdyby nie to, że przypadkowo zatrzasnęliśmy klucz w pokoju i obsługa musiała siłą otwierać drzwi, bo nie mieli zapasowego klucza- nawet byśmy nie wiedzieli czemu nie ma tego sprzątania. Nikt nam nie powiedział że jest taka sytuacja. Zgadzam się też z opiniami poprzednikĆ³w co do ā€œmałego zooā€ - warunki życia zwierząt są naprawdę niepokojące.

The common areas were wonderful but our rooms were worn down, dirty throw pillows, scuffs all over bedroom walls, etc. Would have appreciated a cleaner experience.

Very friendly staff and place is beautiful. It is close to various spots with beautiful nature. Cons: restaurant is overpriced, and be prepared to pay huge taxes on top of what you think you are going to pay. If you are Colombian and you book online, they will tell you that you need to pay a national tax. In my case, it was about 170 USD for a 4 day stay. If you have a foreign passport, male sure to bring it so you get exempt for paying this tax.
