Top Ciénaga Hotel Reviews

Courtyard By Marriott Santa Marta Resort

Courtyard By Marriott Santa Marta Resort

8/10 Good
"The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the rooms are a little small. Also, the way the bathroom is designed assumes that you are sharing this two bed bedroom with your husband/wife. Whatever happened to families with parents or friends traveling together? Why have we eliminated the privacy of a shower? The shower is literally completely open, I guess I should be thankful the toilet had a door? Anyway, the beds are comfy, the staff was nice. The pool has a beautiful view and you get to use the umbrellas at the beach"
