Fantastic decor of a very high standard, personal service, good a la carte breakfast in a beautiful little courtyard, lovely little roof terrace. Thank you to the friendly male receptionist who gave us invaluable tips on local restaurants and attractions.

The place is beautiful! We arrived on the overnight bus from San Gil, obviously exhausted. The lovely girl on reception organised breakfast for us and with the help of the owners organised to have our room available as soon as possible! So appreciated. For the price compared to where we stayed in Santa Marta on our return (these guys were... More

It is very pricey and if you get what's advertised then maybe Ok butbthere are a few things to be aware of. Firstly the good stuff..we stayed in the Paris Suite which is beautiful. The staff and...

I had a great stay at Casa Del Farol. The owners Sandra and Angel were very warm, and helpful with offering recommendations for Santa Marta, and even helped with a long list of things to do and see in Cartagena. The staff also tries hard to cater to all needs, you have to ask for things, but when you do... More

But, the staff is very friendly and helpfull, so are the owners. The breakfast is... More

In our trip around Colombia we haven't been very lucky with the hotels so we went directly to La Casa del Farol which we found it on internet earlier. This boutique hotel is located in historical center of Santa-Marta, in a colonial house. Sandra & Angel, the owners are very nice, friendly and careful people, they speak English pretty well,...

We chose this hotel for its nice reviews and was a success. After two days in Tayrona Park having cold showers we had the best shower ever, perfect power, heat and good quality soaps . The truth is that everything has good quality, comfortable bed, very clean, very stylish and charming staff. The owners are a very friendly Spanish couple... More

Clara and Angel, the owners, could not have been more welcoming and host-like on my return to their hotel last night from 2 nights in tayrona. Stayed in the Paris room upstairs which was great in a shabby chic kind of way. On my first stay, I was first placed in habana, which was certainly not as appealing, set off... More
