- "The room was quiet and clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful. It was central" - "We absolutely loved this place! Quiet, private, spacious, comfortable, safe, clean and with excellent staff! We had a huge suite on the top floor next to a lovely little pool. Comfortable bed and one of the best showers I've had in my travels. 2 pools and lovely views from the rooftop. Marco and Indira were especially lovely and helpful. It really is the place to stay in old town of Santa Marta! Close to everything, but on a quiet street. Highly recommended and we would stay here again in a heartbeat."

The rooms are amazing… your own swimming pool, jacuzzi, open shower, big sofa, amazing nature… The hotel is in the middle of the jungle and can only be reached by boat or ATV. Extraordinary experience and very special hideaway. The staff is super kind and attentive. They are not transactional like in other hotels where every task is in exchange for a tip; at Tewimake there is a genuine willingness to make your experience great and it shows (and that’s why you should tip 😊). Finally, they will accommodate any activity you want to do, and there are plenty!! (Taurina National Park, surf, padel, Etc. All in all, would totally recommend, amazing experience."

- "Casa Rosa looked after us perfectly, we had a few travel issues, but Casa Rosa stepped in and sorted us out." - "Dreamy. Well located, clean, air conditioned, and amazing staff. I can’t emphasise that last point enough; I had some health related issues and the staff went above and beyond to look after me. They were so kind and accommodating - and I really can’t thank them enough." - "Very nice boutique-like place in the centre of Santa Marta. The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and dealt with our (for us unusually large amount of) service requests. The location is brilliant for all things in central Santa Marta - museum, restaurants,... The rooms are all nice, our group stayed in all three different versions, the range from nice/adequate to 'you get your additional little living room' is nice, and the whole property has character. Well done! Breakfast has a few options and is taken on a beautiful balcony, the ladies run the stairs with your pancake and you can feel a bit special being there, and think you don't want to start the day yet. Price/quality made sense. And yes, it's all pink, even the shampoo is rose-based, the kind of touch I like."

- "Love the pool!! The massage pressure jet is great on the shoulders and the view of the park is fun. You feel like you have privacy even though you are in the middle of everything. The staff was REALLY fantastic - just so helpful and authentically kind...they made our stay special." - "The location of the hotel is great, big rooms and nice swimming pool. However, the best this hotel has is the people working there: they are incredible nice and helpful. They will even make your breakfast every time you have to leave earlier for a hike to Tayrona or other excursions. It is possible to book a massage and I highly recommend to ask for Yasmin, she is absolutely amazing!!! I would like to say a special thank you to the whole team and above all to Eliana for being so friendly and made me feel like family!"
