The property is a home away from home. Beautifully kept. Marie is excellent at housekeeping. The only negative is there are no lifts, so you have to carry your bags.

Hot water not working properly, good breakfast, nice place. For the money, Rodadero I think needs lots of work and cleaning, lots of people, and kits in the streets asking for money.

I had the deluxe room which includes a door between a bedroom And a full living room. The living room can fit 2 people. And they would have a separate door to the bathroom. It is more like a little apartment with gad stove, kitchen, microwave refrigerator. The bathroom is very luxurious with a very strong shower. And no absence of hot water. There is air conditioning in both the bedroom and the living room that work reliably. There is a 4 seater round table to eat. It is literally over a supermarket. The location is on an accessible street with constant police security. There are always taxis on that street. There is a beautiful private type beach 3 min walk away. There is a balcony space between your door and the street. So, it's extremely quiet. If checking in late afternoon, you need to communicate with a reliable person by whatsup. Very responsive. Card and key lock entry facilitates access. Within a ten min walk you can access downtown Rodadero. I prefer this quiet Oasis. The price cannot be beat.

This place is a gem! Absolutely worth it. Beach just a short walk away in a quiet neighborhood supermarket on the side, short distance to Rodadero beach too. There’s a local breakfast place on the corner they sell very good arepas and fresh juices, also tours. The owner Havi and the guide Ivan, good prices and service. We also ate at Beer Gardens it was nice. Definitely will recommend this spot to everyone traveling to Santa Marta
