I spent 2 weeks in February 2013 at this hotel. It was a relief to get away form the Cartagena scene. Cartagena was engulfed with young Europeans. The restaurants and lodgings houses were filled with foreign tourists. In Rodadero, was geared towards the Columbian tourists which I prefer. I miss booked at a lower rate and the front desk went...

Before making a decision to stay at the hotel, one needs to note it is very old and run down. It is not new at all and is in serious need of a makeover, as are many of the hotels located in Rodadero. As with many hotels in Colombia, it is also extremely expensive for what is offered. Our room... More

you can hear everybody talking outside your room. Elevator was very questionable.They tried to fixed it but it did not work. Hidden costs when you leave. Bad advice on tours to take. It is close to the beach, but turned off by vendors and crowd. Places near by are not near to the touristy places. Food was ok but not... More

I recently spent the night at this hotel on a business trip to Santa Marta. Defenetly not a good experience. Firts, the hotel is located in one of the busiest streets of El Rodadero tourist district. If you don get an interior room, you will not be able to sleep until 2 in the morning. Second, the bed and pillows... More

Some of the meals were fair and some were great. The value was excellent for what we paid. The room was average at best. Noisy on the... More

The room was spacious and clean with a balcony, albeit with dated decor. Good value for the price I paid. Poor WiFi speed in lobby, and non-existent reception in my room even though it's advertised to have WiFi. Staff friendly and helpful. Good included breakfast (but don't eat at the hotel restaurant for any other meal--overpriced and lousy food). I... More

When we arrived at Sol Arhuaco our internet reservation made on venere.com was not accepted, they said a double room would cost a lot more than the 90$/night we paid and they would have to charge us more. After about half an hour we finally managed to get our room for the price we booked on the internet (90$/night, which,... More

I stayed here only one night when passing through. The room was comfortable and clean but a bit worn. Bathroom fixtures were a little loose and hard to use... fabrics a little worn.
