Nos quedamos en el hotel 7 noches. Todos los empleados fueron muy amables y atentos. Yo me enfermé y estuvieron muy pendientes de mi y hasta me ofrecieron prepararme algo especial para hacerme sentir mejor. El desayuno es muy rico. Vivimos una experiencia internacional conocimos personas de España, Italia, Basco, Austria, México... De verdad disfrutamos mucho nuestra estadía y nos volveremos a quedar ahí

We had a great stay in Akuamarina in Santa Marta. The reception was very helpful in organizing excursions and the hotel driver Mauri was wonderful! He was very patient with our poor Spanish, explained some of the history Santa Marta and even took us to see a couple beautiful viewpoints he recommended. I would stay at Hotel Akuamarina again next time I'm in Santa Marta.

Bed comfortable and staff friendly. Had some plumbing issues taken care of by maintenance. Quite noisy from the services at the cemetery next door at 6:30am (yes, am) to late night events in the area. Breakfast filling with several options. Allowed us to store luggage away for a day getaway which was a plus. Like many hotels in area water is cold to lukewarm depending on time of day. Hot tub on rooftop dirty we couldn’t use.
