    Very nice hostel! Don’t expect a 5 star resort, but it has a lot of charm. Lots of animals around. The shower and our room both had an amazing view over the hills. The food was basic but good enough. The staff were very helpful. We could leave our luggage here during our two day hike in the tayrona park. Wish we could have stayed another night!

    We had a short but great stay at Casa Gaitana. The room and the hotel are both great, with a unique style that has a lot of personality. The common areas are really great, but the best thing of this place is Diana, a lovely staff member who is a STAR and made us feel super important, looked after us like proper 5-star guests and took care of everything we needed with a smile. She is the best and we already miss her!

    The attention was excelent. Gisela and Alber are great hosts always willing to solve any inconvenience. The location of both of their hotels (this one in Santa Marta and the other at Taganga) is great. It is not a 5 stars experience but as the name of the hotel says, its comfortable in all aspects. We're thankfull

    We read the reviews, and we chose this location. 5 min away from the main tourist hub. Mattresses are firm but slept perfect, shower is small but fine. Nights are quiet, and personel is really gentle, helpful and authentic. It's the cheapest private room in the centre so don't expect 5 stars but it's really good. The people at the desk will guide you the best way into the tourist area.

    We liked almost everything about this hotel. For Colombia this is definitely a 5 star luxurious resort. There’s a supermarket in the walking distance, the hotel area is well taken care of, the lush green is amazing, the beach is very nice and clean. The personnel is very friendly,

    Staff was very friendly. Lots of noise on street but ac muffled that. Right on beach. Walked to restaurants and parks in the area. Felt very safe. Lots of streets dogs, vendors along beach. Breakfast was disappointing- no fruit. Balcony overlooking beach on each floor. Hotel is very close to where cargo ships dock. The restaurant on the pier(go upstairs) served amazing food and drinks. 5 stars!!!
