This must be the best place in all of Santa Marta. From the great rooms to the unsurpassed service it is a wonderful experience from the moment you arrive to your farewell. And then, the hospitality offered by the owners Sandra and Angel and the staff Karina, Maria Victoria, Edilberto, Hernan and Vladimiro made us feel like we had become... More

From the moment we arrived at La Casa del Farol from the airport until our departure, the owners Sandra and Angel, and the entire staff (Karina, Maria Victoria, Edilberto, Hernan and Vladimiro) showed us such remarkable hospitality that we genuinely felt we had become a part of the Casa del Farol family and genuinely felt sad to leave. From the... More

Sandra and Angel's enthusiasm and gracious manner meet you at the door and you soon see why they are so proud of their boutique hotel in the historical sector of Santa Marta. Sandra's creative imagination has been combined with functional design and attention to details that makes your whole experience here very enjoyable. In the morning my wife did yoga... More

My friends and I spent 10 days traveling all over Colombia. We stayed in 4 different hotels, and by far, La Casa del Farol was my favorite. Sandra and Angel were absolutely amazing. The rest of the staff was nice and helpful. The place is beyond clean, beautiful and fully stocked with coffee and snacks upon arrival. Everyone not only... More

I stayed in the Barcelona Suite with 2 girl friends and we could not have been happier with the experience. Sandra and her husband are a lovely couple who really take pride in their guests' experiences from the check in to the room amenities to the breakfast. Sandra was a gracious host and went above and beyond to help us... More

Traveled to Santa Marta for the first time, book this hotel on the recommendation of a friend and I really I am very very glad. I do not usually write on these sites but such a warm service worth a review. From the first moment all were details, a cocktail, a map, in-room coffee, best of all is that not... More

This was a wonderful place to stay for a few days. We were in the Rome room. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Air conditioning was so powerful that we often felt cold and had to take a shower to warm up. Also - the references for taxistas for Tayrona and around were spot on. That said - for... More
