The room is super spacious, beds are on the too firm side, walking distance to restaurants and centro. No parking and driving and finding parking are a challenge. Breakfast is superb, go hungry! ##### Magda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### GREGORY 14 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This is a very unique property. The rooms are fantastic. If you are there for a few days though clean towels are additional. Any cleaning is additional actually.

The entire area is very walkable. ##### GREGORY Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marvin 22 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication After a disastrous start to my stay at another property, I found El Cactus at around midnight. They got me checked in quickly and even gave me a fruit smoothie. Every aspect of my stay was wonderful. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. For as nice as the property is, the staff is even better. Mariah was a pleasure to deal with each day and helped me out a lot (speaks English if that's your preference as well). Great location as everywhere I needed to go was a 10 minute walk, or a quick cheap can ride away. Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Santa Marta! ##### Marvin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hammad 8 Sept 2023 #### Not sure I would stay again It’s a boutique hotel so not expecting them to have everything a large hotel would have, but they charge you for room cleaning which I didn’t like. ##### Hammad Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larissa 6 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Don’t look anywhere else to stay in Santa marta! The staff here are wonderful. The place is a short walk ( 10 mins) to the hustle and bustle of the beach and the surrounding area. The hotel is quiet and safe! And for remote workers, the wifi is great!!! Both my partner and I were on video calls at the same time no issues at all. The breakfast is amazing and everyone is so nice and helpful. Also the water pressure is great and there’s actually really hot water. Beds are comfy and the hotel is spotless. Can’t wait to come back!! Thank you so much 😊 ##### Larissa ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fred 13 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful oasis! On the whole it was beautiful. Our only concern was getting hot water at the times we wanted to shower. The staff is aware and I believe they are undertaking effort to correct the problem. I think only our room was inconsistent. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/336054080EBEF8BE7B469A33A14FE6924979EE271665679984050.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F98475C7723D4457F611DFC35A32793769B1A2901665679982839.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CA1B6504D315B33761D02C7A1E93C6D59BF4E9051665679981908.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Fred Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlos 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Carlos Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucrecia A 24 Jul 2024 ##### Lucrecia A Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bianca 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Hotel is new, rooms spacey, pool very small.
