"The hotel was lovely and the staff were great. The location was a little run down, as was all of Santa Marta. But if you can get past that, and all the construction, it was very nice."

HOTEL BOUTIQUE OLAS MARINAS LUXURY

10/10 Excellent
"A very comfortable room (we stayed in one with two queen beds) with a great air conditioner. The location is excellent -- very close to Parque de los Novios, but is on a quieter street that does not have the traffic and noise closer to the park. The room's large-screen TV offers a great selection of cable channels. We were also impressed with the breakfast -- a traditional Colombian meal of eggs, arepa, toast, and natural juice. You should really enjoy your Santa Marta experience if you stay at this hotel!"

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was exactly what I was looking for. Less than a block from the beach and had a nice view. There was an issue with the water late one nite and it was resolved right away. Which I wasn’t expecting. So all in all, I got rest that i desperately needed. For the most part it was quiet and peaceful with the exception of construction on the street level. I like to be left alone and the hotel staff were not intrusive at all."
