“This guesthouse stands out for its location in Santa Marta's Centro Historico, placing guests steps away from the city's cultural attractions; the personalized service, starting at the 24-hour front desk, cultivates a welcoming environment. I especially like the shared kitchen and game room, fostering a social atmosphere that complements the proximity to dining spots. A solid choice for travelers keen to explore Santa Marta's historic heart.”
