Barrio Alambique Hotels near Santa Marta

"Weird stay at this hotel. Rooms advertised as soundproof but you could hear literally everything in the hall, especially the cleaning staff if they were yelling at each other down the hall. Breakfast was basic but fine. My first night there I burnt my head because the water in the shower randomly gets scalding hot, then freezing cold. The pool bar was okay. Small pool. The one day there was some wedding anniversary thing. Which was awkward because i was stuck sitting there reading while they all yapped for an hour. Not sure why they get importance over another guest, but okay. Another night at the pool bar there was no Dorado or Aguilla.....like exito is right there how are you out????? Then another night i was sitting up there, went to vet a drink at the bar, and some woman just took both chairs from the table i was sitting at???? Like, why? Tv was nice, but because they put the cable box in the worst spot, you couldn't change the channel from bed. Coffee machine didn't work at all. Whatever. Gym was nice. Wifi works really well. "

"The best Hilton I ever stayed at. The staff was phenomenal! Nicest people ever! And the hotel was gorgeous and super clean. I loved the location right by the beach. A twenty minute car ride from the city. "

"Small hotel. Not too much to do"

"Most of all the breakfast wide spread was the highlight of this trip. It had so many things to choose from. I totally enjoyed. However one issue I don't like the layout of the room. The bathroom is inside the living area and the sink also. The blackout blinds have seams for light escape on the top so the room was bright in the morning. Wifi was excellent and strong because I depend on it to work. The staff and service are excellent. The view of the ocean was excellent"

"Yes, very good"

"Yes"

"Clean room and kind staff who were willing to help all the time. Spacious and nice pools with bar; however, there were not enough seats in the pool area for the amount of people during high season. The beach is nearby (around a 2min walk) and the property provides a specific space for their guests, as well as towels and chairs. "

"Our experience at Irotama was amazing. The grounds are incredibly beautiful, well-tended to, and clean. We stayed in a bungalow which we found very comfortable. It was enjoyable to sit out in front in the morning to have coffee and enjoy the view. It felt very private and was quite comfortable. The beach was beautiful, swimmable, and unobstructed by buildings. We could view it from the bungalow, shaded beach chairs/table, and restaurants. There are vendors who walk the beach selling a variety of goods-jewelry, hats, food, drink, massages. The less we engaged, the more we were left alone and vice versa. Bring Colombian Pesos if you wish to purchase anything on the beach. The pools are excellent! I loved the main pool at ground level, especially swimming in the late afternoon and evening. It wasn’t too crowded or noisy. The staff at Irotama were so friendly and helpful. We speak English and some Spanish and found very few English speakers. Downloading a translation app was helpful for more complex interactions. Aside from meals at Irotama, shopping and food is available a ten minute walk away at Zazue Mall. There are many options to choose from, as well as a grocery store. There is also a small convenience store on the road in-between Irotama and Hilton. It’s simple to get to Irotama from the airport and back again. A shuttle runs on a regular schedule. I would definitely visit here again. "
