“There's a sweetness to this place, a colonial-era building offering a comfortable stay right in the historic heart of Santa Marta. I especially appreciate the friendly, helpful staff and the delightful touches like breakfast on the patio with a resident budgie. It's a spot that seems to balance character with convenience, a stone's throw from the city's lively bars and restaurants.”
