It's a nice hotel, our suite was comfortable. I did not like that they charged a small fee daily per person for insurance because the first time I heard about it was at check out. It's away from everywhere which It's an advantage if you are planning to stay in the hotel all the time but not if you have business to do in the city which was our case. Food is delicious, service is good. I am not happy with the spa service which is not really offered by the hotel but another business, the girls that came to do mani-pedi were rude, overall, lack of customer service skills, we had a relaxing massage and it was ok.

Kudos from our whole family, we loved it!
The whole family really enjoyed this hotel. First, it felt safe with guards at entrance and exits. Then, the facilities are great for kids, the two pools and the proximity to the beach. The restaurant also serves great food with a buffet breakfast. We used this hotel as our base to explore the surrounding areas, cities, beaches and the famous Tayrona Park. We also left our car there while travelling by plane to Medellin. The four of us highly recommand this hotel! Kudos!

For the most part the staff was friendly and accommodating Nothing to do on the beach which is closed at night for security reasons. If you want to take a romantic walk on the beach at night, it’s the wrong place to go. The food is decent but expensive for the area. The night manager takes kickbacks from the cab drivers openly which comes out of your pocket because those drivers charge you extra extra to make the kickback back. Ride that cost me 90 pesos going out cost 50 pesos coming back in….. Because of this alone I will not be back. This place is very far away from town and I spent the majority of my vacation money in taxis getting overcharged partly because of the night manager/front desk gentleman. Next time I’m staying in Santa Marta proper, it’s all beach there….

Ghl árelas Costa Azul is an old but well maintained property, exceptionally clean but far from all kind of activities. Good for families with small children, not so much for adults. It has just one restaurant, not any bars and the food is pretty limited
