Once at our arrival, Jose greeted us with a broad smile. Very attentive and friendly. He took his time to explain every aspect of the hotel and was very helpful when we needed help for directions. If i ever go back to Santa Marta, i would stay in this hotel without hesitation. Highly recommend 5 star!!
