Located 100 metres from the Bello Horizonte Beach and 5.8 km from Santa Marta town centre, the Hotel Santorini Resort offers a beach club with 3 swimming pools, a spa with body treatments and a fitness centre.

Our stay was simply amazing from start to end. We got a double room with balcony in the third floor. Checking in was fast and pretty easy, everything was in order and everything was crystal clear. We were actually surprised they take cleanliness very seriously and do a thorough clean every day (scrubbing floors, new sheets, new towels, new blankets). Aircon and TV work flawlessly. Breakfast was superb and quite big which I loved. There was a nice assortment of options including fruits, breakfast cereal, yogurts, beverages, soups, eggs, traditional sausages, arepas, bread… quite the assortment for real! This is a very quiet neighbourhood and it’s just a block away from the beach. There’s the Zazue mall at walking distance which has plenty of things to do and visit. The hotel even provides beach tents at a cheaper fare than the guys at the beach. You’re even welcomed to bring your own snacks and store them in your mini bar. High ceilings (which I personally love). The staff was super friendly and easy to reach at all times. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Extremely pleased. No hidden fees. Read some regular reviews in Google and I was quite worried but this place ended up exceeding by far any of our expectations. Best hotel stay so far. Wish we could stay longer!

Fantastic place and people. Very kind and helpful. The hotel is really in the center, but you don't hear the sound of the restaurants. In any case very good position and wonderful place. Thanks you

    The design of the hotel is super stylish and interesting, there are two pools and two jacuzzis on the property. It’s like a little oasis right in the center of Santa Marta, the beach is only 3 minutes walking time away. Also the staff was always really friendly and helpful! Our room was super nice and spacious and the bathroom as well<3 What we also loved was the hotel restaurant where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner as well as the breakfast that was included in the price. We would 100% come back if we come to Santa Marta again:)
