Santa Marta Airport Hotels from NZ$47 (SMR)

"When we arrived I upgraded to a suite The best decision we made. The suite was perfect. Beach view was spectacular. The attention we got was superb. I recommend to stay in this hotel. It was sad to leave…. "

"Reestablecer las boyas en la playa para que los jetski no acercan tanto a los nadadores. Además el olor de gasolina que sale de los jetski es feo y daña la experiencia para los demás de nadar y de disfrutar de la playa. El hotel debe pedir a todos sus clientes que no contraten los jetski. "

"Beach view "

"Our experience at Irotama was amazing. The grounds are incredibly beautiful, well-tended to, and clean. We stayed in a bungalow which we found very comfortable. It was enjoyable to sit out in front in the morning to have coffee and enjoy the view. It felt very private and was quite comfortable. The beach was beautiful, swimmable, and unobstructed by buildings. We could view it from the bungalow, shaded beach chairs/table, and restaurants. There are vendors who walk the beach selling a variety of goods-jewelry, hats, food, drink, massages. The less we engaged, the more we were left alone and vice versa. Bring Colombian Pesos if you wish to purchase anything on the beach. The pools are excellent! I loved the main pool at ground level, especially swimming in the late afternoon and evening. It wasn’t too crowded or noisy. The staff at Irotama were so friendly and helpful. We speak English and some Spanish and found very few English speakers. Downloading a translation app was helpful for more complex interactions. Aside from meals at Irotama, shopping and food is available a ten minute walk away at Zazue Mall. There are many options to choose from, as well as a grocery store. There is also a small convenience store on the road in-between Irotama and Hilton. It’s simple to get to Irotama from the airport and back again. A shuttle runs on a regular schedule. I would definitely visit here again. "

"Needs work. But a good place to stay"

"did not try it as we left after sketchy people and we got another hotel the same night"

"Nice sea view room, location, facilities, and breakfast. Lunch and dinner not so good. Repetitive menu and not very fresh food. Good pizza and fresh juices. The worst part was 2 very loud corporate events on 2 of our 4 nights there till early morning. Great disrespect for the guests’ rest. (It was low season so hotel not full)"

"Food can improve"

"The property had stunning views of the ocean, with all the bells and whistles of outdoor furniture. The pool does not have anti slip strips on stairs though and I fell hard on my spine. I wrote up a statement as requested and never heard a word from them. Not even a follow up on how I was feeling. When reported, they said they would view pool cameras. 5 hours later I went down and they handed me a pen and paper and told me write what happened. I spent the rest of my time there bed ridden and suffered major discomfort. Pool needs signage and safe entrance out in place and staff and management need to take a course on hospitality "
