This was probably my favorite hotel I've ever stayed in. It was so chic and cool and there are so many amenities. They greet you with a glass of juice and they tell you all about the town. You can sit on the upstairs deck and watch the sunset with a cocktail. They have ipads for you to use. The... More

I had some reservations about staying with my family in the old part of Santa Marta on our way to Parque Tayrona. We spent a total of 4 nights here. These were quickly dissipated on arriving. We immediately felt "at home". We stayed in room 10 which is very tastefully decorated, everything works and is immaculate. It has a rooftop... More

Thank you for the great review and also discovering the Old City of Santa Marta. This is why we choose to invest in our hotels here and near Tayrona. The renaissance of the old city is underway with an ecletic mix of restaurants. Although still a work in progress it is not touristy and a true sampling of Colombia. Casa... More

This is a 2nd review of Casa de Isabella, the first one back in November 2011. As promised, if we were going back to Santa Marta, we would again stay at Case de Isabella and we did in the beginning of April 2013. It's so rare to find an establishment that continues to strive for perfection almost 2 yrs later,... More

Casa Isabella rocks!! We just returned from a lovely three night stay (April 20-23). We found all of the rooms really great -- beds were comfortable, and the bathrobes, L'Occitaine bath products and Apple TV in every room was terrific. We spent most of the afternoons poolside and positioned ourselves on the suite rooftops during sunset cocktail hour (oue group... More
