Our room was big and very clean. The bed was duper comfortable also clean. Service was just spectacular- we arrived past check in time and still had a lovely and welcoming reception. We stayed there before we went on the 4 day trek for the Lost City and they were so lovely to accept to store out bags there at no cost. Breakfast is nice, there's a few options from veggie to meaty. Location is also very good, close to markets and less than 10 minutes wlak to city centre, and still remarkably quiet. I'd recommend!

The stay was a wonderful one, thank you for the super-compliced service care, the perfect cleaning and always ready to satisfy the aesthetic image.
The food was of high quality, at a very fair price for what was received, the menu is varied, but they suddenly missed to extend a little more options, but that's right, all the dishes are a delicious, until it comes with gourmet stomach You will be happy.
A Maestro hotel in the care, ideal for family stays, and very nice facilities, the only thing needed in the hotel is a broader portfolio of social areas, such as Jacuzzi or Turko, from the rest: Deserved to be a 4-star hotel, overcoming all the spectaculars!
We'll be back until next!

Facilities are brand new and food was incredible!
Staff was very friendly and most of the time was there to help.
However one thing I got really disappointed on was the cocktails. I’m not a beer drinker so I rather went for margaritas or piña colada. None of the cocktails I ordered tasted like alcohol for such a high price.
I’d go back!

Let me start of by saying that the staff at GHL Hotel were VERY helpful. The minute we walked through the door we were treated like family. The check in process was very easy and quick. We didn't have to worry about our luggage the hotel handled all of that. The room were very clean. The rooms had a small sink near the entry door which I'm not sure why, a small closet, small refrigerator which included snacks and drinks (at a cost of course). I did notice that the hotel did not furnish face towels. Only had 2 towels and a hand towel. I did ask the front desk if any face towels were available and the response was we don't supply those. We were able to pickup a few face towels at the dollar store. The pool was amazing (kiddy pool and adult pool). The loved the location of the hotel. Was not far from the airport about 10 to 15 mins. The hotel is not that close to a grocery store but its a 10min cab drive. There is a small convince store on the property but will be limited on some things. The hotel sits on the beach shore which I took a beach walk every morning. The hotel restaurant was EXCELLENT!!!. The food was outstanding and very cheap. Although we did not know that much Spanish the staff was very helpful to cater to us and using our phone translator came in handy. I would have never thought I would have visit Colombia but now that I have I can't wait until I go back. This was a truly a great vacation. Thank you GHL Hotel Relax Costa Azul for a wonderful time. I like to give thanks to all the hotel staff.

DDilara OnigkeitI’m so glad I found this place, it was just amazing! Great location, if you like spending some time surrounded by greens with a beautiful river close by. Loved my bed and the view I had, also the stuff was really friendly and helpful. I have been to many hostels but this was just incredible! Thank you so much for this experience, I’ll be back soon:)
GGuest UserMy wife and I had a terrific time staying at Hotel Don Pepe for 3 nights last week. Don Pepe is an oasis in Santa Marta as it is the former home of a wealthy gentleman ( Don Pepe!) and his large family vs a commercial hotel chain (while Don Pepe gets the name recognition, the real hero was his wife who produced so many children). This makes it a very special find for those who enjoy the taste of an authentic refined experience. - If you want a trendy (“ bougie” ) contemporary type of hotel to be seen/ check out others this is not it. The rooms were clean, cool, and updated (we stayed in 2 different rooms in order to help accommodate another guest). Beds and linens were very comfortable. The staff were courteous, helpful, and sincere. The small pools were cooling/ relaxing. The location is proximate to everything. Santa Marta is a city where most non Colombian tourists will visit in order to take a day-trip either to the mountains by car and/ or to the beaches by boat vs wanting to hang-out in the city itself. We did both of these day-trips. Specifically, we had a terrific experience with going to the small mountain town called Minca for a coffee, chocolate, eco tour, and we took a snorkeling and beach trip the following day ( the front desk at Don Pepe knows who are the better tour operators). Guasimo is a top end restaurant that is 3 blocks away that requires some planning to get a reservation (the front desk at Don Pepe can arrange this). A special shout-out to Edgar who served us breakfast every day and to both the front desk managers. - Gracias.
GGuest UserClentelle middle class, upmarket, solo travelers reading books in whicker chairs. Fab pool and luscious plants Owners love animals, breakfast great. Rooms air cor and fan, fridge, Clean peaceful plenty of tables.Quiet at night Shutters on windows for privacy. Mr Vichy is the cat, you see him, we fed him tuna. The owners are quick to rectify any problem, our toilet did not flush, new room given . Outside turn right and your 6 mins from the beach. So clean and great value in Santa Marta. If you don't want street vendors outside then the ONLY option is the enclosed private citadel of top hotel names, which offers no better security than we had. The bus to Cartagena stops outside. This is genuinely an upmarket oasis. It's difficult to leave the pool and luscious vegetation . You can get snacks, e cigs beer from street vendors passing by in seconds. The hotel sells alcohol also. On some nights it offers a dining night, the dining room reminds me when James Bond was in Cuba if you've read Flemming. What a pleasure, different, cant understand why it not mobbed in tourist season
I had an absolute amazing experience at this hotel! First off, ALL the staff is so friendly and helpful with anything that you need. Breakfast included in the morning is delicious and I was even able to enjoy it on their patio outside. The rooms are great, clean and cute with Air conditioning. The best part is the location! It is located just close enough to the beach ( less than 5 min walk) and on the side by the mountain so it is relaxing and quiet even though you are close to everything. I was able to do my work on my computer on the patio as I work remotely. They also provide you with a beach towel which is always nice. Plus the nightly price is unbeatable. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else while in Santa Marta, I would recommend to anyone travelling here. I can honestly say that this hotel made me love Santa Marta even more.
GGuest UserA fantastic location centrally situated in the heart of Santa Marta. Yes, there is a bowling alley in the complex, but I never noticed any noise from it (it’s very small 2 lanes alley) The staff is wonderful and spoke English very well, which was helpful. The view was great, the street noises and music was a wonderful atmosphere. I loved this hotel.
MMauro_traveloverIt was an incredible experience and we enjoyed our time at this hotel, it's location is perfect to take different activities such as going to the aquarium and playa blanca, tayrona park and other places. There is a little options for fun and parties and the nights has not quite fun. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, the elevator looks like old and unsafety but you can used the stairs.
In het piepkleine Minca (een klein backpackers-dorpje) zitten voornamelijk hostels. Veel liggen rondom het.piepkleine centrum of ver verspreid in de bergen rondom Minca. Hotels zijn er minder. Het Sweet Harmony Boutique Hotel ligt (via een onverlicht paadje en bruggetje) op 10 minuten van het centrum. Het ligt iets verhoogd aan de rivier in een mooie tuin. Op de foto's ziet het er allemaal top uit. Met name omdat men vooral de (suite) kamers met hangmatten prominent laat zien. De weg naar het hotel is zoals alle wegen in Minca onverhard en hobbel de bobbel. Aangekomen bleek de geboekte luxe kamer gewoon een kleine standaard kamer met een soort van gedeeld terras te zijn. Niks geen hangmatten voor je balkon. Voor de vier kamers loopt een overdekt terras. Tussen de kamers staat een plantenbak op het terras als afscheiding. Als je tussen een familie of vriendenclub zit lopen die al snel ” even” over ”jouw” deel van het balkon voor jouw kamer langs en in ons geval ook voor de badkamer en toilet langs. Qua privacy niet prettig. Kamer is klein en (het is midden in de bergen in een tropisch regenwoud) ook heel vochtig. Het tweepersoonsbed is meer een twijfelaar dan tweepersoons qua breedte. Vrij smal dus en lekker knus. Vervelend is dat het bed ook erg kort is. Met 198 cm stak er een flink deel uit het bed en met 176 cm past het in theorie maar net. Het geheel wordt verergerd door de klamboe die je hier wel nodig hebt. De vorm zorgt dat je het gaas tegen je lichaam en gezicht aan hebt. Wat een slecht bed. We hebben hier niet prettig geslapen. Erg jammer. Badkamer heeft een enorme inloopdouche die aan balkon grenst. Douche is lastig op temperatuur te krijgen (koud of heel heet iets ertussen was lastig en veranderde telkens). Badkamer met.roilet en douche zien er op eerste gezicht prima uit. Men heeft echt wel zijn best gedaan er iets moois van te makem. Handdoeken zijn groot en schoon. Douchegel aanwezig. En daar zitten dan ook onze gemengde gevoelens. De intenties zijn zeker.goed geweest. Hoe het In de.praktijk uitpakt en blijft werken is iets anders. Op foto's staan jacuzzi' s die er net als hangmatten in de tuin hoe twee zijn. ”Zwembad” is een heel klein niet uitnodigend koud badje. De hangmatten aan de balkons zijn alleen bij de aparte suite in de tuin. De deluxe kamers zijn feitelijk de standaard kamers. Slecht is het zeker niet en ook ons verblijf was op zich voldoende. Het had alleen zoveel beter kunnen zijn. De op zich charmante kamers zijn behoorlijk gehorig. Er is een minibar en ijskast en voldoende opbergruimte in de vorm van een wandmeubel. Vloeroppervlakte is echter krap. Je loopt elkaar in de weg. Er is een TV ? Een plafond ventilator, maar vreemd genoeg geen airco. Hierdoor is het te warm. Info in het Spaans is erg summier. Een mapje op de kamer met info in Spaans en Engels en een omgevingskaartje met wat tips zou veel schelen. Ontbijt is wel weer fijn en ruim voldoende in hoeveelheid en in keus. Nogmaals het verbl
