The hotel seems pretty, the pool was closed for 3 out the 4 days I was there and service at the pool for the day it was opened below standard. Guest aren’t allowed to enter your room unless they’re at the same hotel. $125 daily guest fee which is absurd.

This hotel is really nice, and convenient and walkable to stores and restaurants. The staff is very nice. Very nice. The included breakfast was the same every morning, and wished they switched it up a few, but we ended up walking to another breakfast spot not to far away. Lastly, I thought the hotel was a bit pricey, but that was my opinion. Other than that, I loved the place!

Communication with staff was difficult! I was overcharged and overwhelmed with staff not understanding conversion with currency! I had a friend who came on the last day to pick up a package for his wedding day and was charged 500,000 COP for only 30mins! I called several times to get my room cleaned and didn’t get it clean for days even when I called for room service (toilet) couldn’t flush! I gave videos of the condition of my room not being clean! I also experienced a bit of racism which I wouldn’t expect especially traveling to Columbia! Staff weren’t attentive to my needs as well as my friend who we came down to celebrate! As I kept calling the hotel this afternoon to tell them that I am missing two expensive watches! And a ring from my bag! I would never stay at this location ever! My experience was horrible! Only experience that was enjoyable were the welcoming staff downstairs and Jorge who took my bag on the 1st date and was friendly and knowledgeable!

The stay was great. Hotel was beautiful. The in house restaurant was great. Loved how there were always cabs available. Around the corner is a super market and one blocks away is a mall. On the downside A couple of esthetic things that should be addressed such as broken glass panels in the pool area and on our balcony and various other balcony’s. They also were renovating the spa about 6 floors down and we heard the construction and power tools start at about 8am. They were also doing construction above us and again at 8am. I advised the front desk they “took note and said somebody would be in touch” never happened and 3 days go by with the same issue every morning.

The property is located directly across from the Bocagrande beach and is right next to a shopping center. You can literally walk to one of the restaurants called the Moreno. Everything about the property was amazing along with the 51st sky bar.
