Other facilities include a gym, massage room and a nail and hair salon.

What our clients say

Very hard to say which was the most memorable: flour and shaving cream fights in San Agustin on New Year's Eve; stunning views of the Magdalena, both in the South…
WR, London Jan 2017
Most Memorable Moment?: Impossible to pick one place/moment. A very varied and interesting few weeks. Cartagena was definitely a highlight.
SJA, Malvern Mar 2018
Highlight: Cartagena: as romantic a destination as I had hoped.
DG, Sheffield Feb 2016
Colombia is a fascinating country with very friendly people. It is opening up to tourism, after years of conflict, and offers the prospect of an exciting, varied and economic holiday.
JH, Chester Feb 2017
It was a great trip, a nice balance of activity and free time and we felt we saw several different sides of Colombia.
MJ, E14 Sep 2011
