My stay at the hotel was quite an experience. The rooms were spacious but not cleaned properly, and to be honest, I felt the price was a bit high for the area. On the bright side, the rooms were cool and spacious.

The staff was extremely accommodating without being overbearing, but it was disappointing that they wouldn't refund my second night due to an issue.

The location was fantastic as the hotel is right next to the beach, which was amazing. However, the surroundings could use a bit of maintenance.

The dining experience was kind of poor, and the food quality was not great. However, the homemade biscuits were a nice touch.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were not very clean, loud, and overpriced, but they were great for taking photos in. The service was a mixed bag with some staff being extremely disrespectful and unprofessional while others, like Stefani and the waiters at the restaurants, were very friendly and helpful. The location was a highlight with its proximity to the beach, although upgrading the resort might be necessary. The dining options were poor, lacking a buffet and Colombian dishes, but the soup was pretty decent.

The room I stayed in, which was in the adjoining building with no view of the bay, was not very clean and overpriced. However, it did offer a great backdrop for photos.
Service

The service at the hotel varied greatly. While some staff members were extremely disrespectful and unhelpful, others, like Stefani and the restaurant waiters, were very friendly and professional.
Location

The hotel's location right by the beach was a definite plus, and it was efficient in providing access to Taganga Beach and Grande Beach. However, some noise from nearby discos could be heard.
Dining
5.0
Unfortunately, the dining experience was lacking with no buffet options or traditional Colombian food available. The restaurant across the street offered a la carte dishes but overall the dining was below average.
Facilities

The facilities were somewhat lacking, and there is room for improvement in upgrading the resort to offer more amenities.
