Pueblito Hotels, Santa Marta

"The hotel is very close to the airport and offers an efficient free pickup service. The architecture and the interior design are extremely tasteful and are harmonious with the landscape and the building styles of the region. The staff are attentive, helpful and competent. The room was very well equipped and comfortable. We had a stunning view of the sea and mountains. There are several large and attractive swimming pools, including slides. There is a lake where you can look at iguanas. The hotel backs onto a (not private) beach where a helpful member of staff will provide you with seating. The beach is functional - not the most beautiful but clean enough and the water is calm enough to swim in. The whole setup is fantastic for kids. The buffet breakfast (included in the price) was excellent in variety, quality and quantity. The Irotama - in its cuisine, design and activities - clearly seeks to showcase elements of the regional culture. As far as big hotels close to the airport go, this one offers a relatively "authentic" experience. Two small gripes. The pools close at 7pm. The lunch and dinner options (not included in the price - we went for the "budget" options) were not up to the quality of the breakfast. In summary - if you want to relax and enjoy a bit of luxury in beautiful surroundings in a convenient location by the sea, this is perfect. On the other hand, if you want to visit picture-postcard tropical beaches you're better off staying nearer Tayrona park."

"Excellent stay at this luxury modern apartment. Very comfortable beds. The host didn’t answer my question regarding check out time."

"Pretty nice "

"Good location, walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. Service was excellent from the front desk staff to the room attendants, the service for breakfast to the guard upstairs at the pool."

"Great service !"

"The room was nice. The bed was comfy. The hotel had a casino. It was close to a nice mall. The service was good."

"Close to the beach"

"Right on the beach with direct access from the hotel. Two infinity pools one of them is adults only great for getting away from the noise. Only thing I didn’t like was house keeping never would put new towels, complimentary water bottles were empty and never refilled the whole trip, and ac unit is tricky to use I like my room cold was a bit annoying trying to figure it out. "

"it was a place to be on this hotel... 5 star"
