I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms, although a bit old, were very clean. The hotel has an excellent view from the shared space upstairs where you can watch the sunset and feel a nice breeze. The AC worked really well, keeping the room cool throughout my stay. The sheets and towels were super clean, and the staff was very nice and helpful. The location of the hotel is right on the beach, which was very convenient. There are also great restaurants just outside, and it's easy to organize boat tours from here. the cleanliness, hotel facilities, transportation options, and the beachfront location with good restaurants were the best aspects of my stay.
Nothing, all great.

Adorable little hotel in Taganga. Though us tourists expecting the Hilton may be somewhat disappointed. I loved the hotel and the fishing village of Taganga.
A brood of pigeons nested outside the bathroom window, cooed the entire stay. Room was a little dark with no outside lightening except the one window in bathroom. Since the view from the hotel was so lovely, it would have been great to see from the room.

Good sized room, good bathroom. Rooftop bar/patio. Jacuzzis. Beach view. Good restaurant. Good breakfast choice. Comfortable lounge. Excellent value for money. Helpful staff - kept suitaces for a few days while we did Tayrona National Park. Hotel was an excellent end to the privations of that trip.
Nothing wrong at all.

We were pleasantly surprised by our stay at La Ballena Azul. Despite the reviews, we found the rooms to be clean and comfortable. While there was no warm water, the AC worked well and the beachfront location made up for it. The staff, especially the bartender, were friendly and helpful. we would recommend this hotel for a relaxing beach vacation.

It was right on the beach, with great food and wonderful staff.
Perhaps we made a mistake, but on your map of the hotel, we thought we were IN Santa Marta. It was a good mistake, but others might be upset.

When we arrived air conditioning was not working, the sheets on bed were not changed. Hotel located far from everything, not very good neighborhood around, scary

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Taganga. Firstly, the location is absolutely perfect. It is right on the beach, which made it so convenient for me to soak up the sun and enjoy the beautiful views. I loved being able to step out of my room and onto the sand. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently close to the main street of Taganga, so I could easily explore the local shops and restaurants.
All was great.
Tourists from New Zealand often stay at these properties. Ideas for your future trips.
