    Our hotel was located in front of tourist attractions like bocagrande beach. We dined at Arepas Pues, that is just 500 feet away. Quick customer service. It took us 20 minutes to walk to the bus stop;)))

    This hotel is an absolute gem! the location is fantastic - just across the street from the beach. It's so convenient to have the beach right at your doorstep. Secondly, the staff are amazing - they are friendly, helpful, and provide excellent service. They really go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Lastly, the rooms on the upper floors with a balcony are simply stunning. The views are breathtaking and it's the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of exploring.

    Everything was fantastic, couldn't ask for more!

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. the location was fantastic. Being just across the street from the beach meant that I could easily access the beautiful coastline whenever I wanted. Additionally, there were numerous restaurants and shops within walking distance, which made exploring the area very convenient. Secondly, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. From the front desk staff who spoke English well and patiently assisted me, to the housekeeping staff who went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, I felt well taken care of throughout my stay. Lastly, the rooms were clean and well-maintained. I particularly appreciated the modern amenities, such as the flat-screen TV and ample storage space. All in all, this hotel provided great value for money and I would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

    All was well.

    The staff was nice and tried to help. The room was clean.

    First, it was very simple (not necessarily bad but doesn't warrant more than 2.5 stars). It was also very Colombian and definitely not for Americans/Europeans who are accustomed to certain standards. Eg: The Internet turned off a lot. The MiniBar was never stocked. There was no safe for valuables. When I arrived, the TV remote didn't work.

    The hotel offers great value for money, as the prices are reasonable and the basic amenities are provided. The location is perfect, as it's just across the street from the beach, allowing guests to easily enjoy the sun and sand. The staff are attentive and provide good service, making sure that guests have a comfortable stay.

    All was well taken care of, no complaints.

    We had a great stay at this hotel! The staff was helpful and professional, always accommodating our requests. Our room was clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The hotel facilities were great, with an elevator to access the rooms and a mini fridge in the room. The location was perfect, just a block away from the beach and with easy access to transportation. Additionally, the breakfast was basic but good.

    Nothing to mention.

    Great air conditioning! The room was cool and comfortable, which made my stay very enjoyable. I didn't have to worry about getting too hot during the night. The location was also fantastic, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The breakfast provided was delicious and there was a good variety of options to choose from. The Wi-Fi worked well and was reliable throughout my stay. The hotel was clean, modern, and tidy, which added to the overall positive experience. I had a pleasant stay at Zalmedina and would recommend it to others.

    Located near the beach, this affordable hotel is a great option for those looking for a budget stay. The restaurant nearby serves delicious cuisine, and it's just a short walk to catch a ferry to visit Rosario Island. Wake up early and you can see the stunning sunrise on the beach. Even with a construction site nearby, the service is excellent and the rooms are nicely decorated, complete with spacious bathrooms. You'll enjoy a refreshing breakfast served every morning with various options.

    The hotel lacks a pool for a quick dip, something some travelers might miss.

    The hotel had very comfortable beds and a great selection of breakfast options. The receptionists were very kind and patient when I had a lot of questions. The hotel was conveniently located near public transportation and several restaurants.

    The Wi-Fi in my room was not strong and only worked in certain areas. the cleaning staff were quite loud in the mornings, which made it difficult to sleep in.
