We are glad we stayed at AC Hotel by Marriott in Santa Marta.
The property is clean - service is amazing (more on that) - and the food was excellent. I was reluctant of the food based on the reviews however, my experience was 5 stars. The breakfast buffet and we had room service one night - all excellent.
I would like to give Jonathan (Manager on Duty on 1/10/24). We had an issue in our bathroom with what we thought was a leak (turns out it was our own fault). We explained the situation to Jonathan and he presented us many options to make our stay more enjoyable - we took him up on his offer for room service for the night.
His approach, empathetic listening, and act of service really summarizes our whole experience during our four night stay.
As a result, we also decided to have a pool day and rent a cabana for a special occasion - the service was excellent and the experience was exactly what we had hoped for it to be.
The property itself is walking distance to one of many beaches in Santa Marta, it is also close to supermarkets, bar, restaurants, everything you may need during your time in Santa Marta.
If you are looking for a modern, clean, centrally located hotel with excellent service, you should consider AC Hotel in Santa Marta.
