This hotel was a shock for us in terms service and food. The day we checked in we wanted to have lunch and tried out the restaurant in the hotel. The food was below average specifically the pork dish that a friend ordered was so dry. We didn't have a great experience with breakfast as well. I have stayed in much lesser rated hotels in costa rica but our experience have always been good. The front desk charged us for additional beers that we didn't buy from the shop inside. I contested it and the concierge said they will verify through video and we waited for 15 mins and they couldn't provide any evidence of that. Finally had to pay as we were getting late to checkout. Also they didn't care calling the taxi for our airport transfer, we got one from the street. Neither do they help in moving the luggage to your room. It's to be done by ourselves. They should probably advertise Hilton with no service. I will not recommend this place.

Do not come here despite the nice ambiance. You will be sad.||||This is the single worst hotel I have ever been to. The cleanliness is trash, I was given two rooms in succession, each worse than the last. The biggest problem is I specifically went here to get a nice mattress and clean sheets and this massive operation failed in the one thing they are required to do well!!! I am at a complete loss as to how this hotel is ranked so well for Santa Marta.||||This is literally our honeymoon and we have paid as low as $25/night for a private room in a little hostel and that was better than this $190/night place. ||||I am actually completely shocked at how crazy this is. Photos of the beds attached. ||||Front desk service 5/5. Refunded us immediately. ||||PS hostels with private rooms with boutique ambiance much better and far far cheaper, especially in person prices.
