A few minor miscommunications with management, but nothing that impacted our stay in a negative manner. Overall, very happy with this apartment. "

"The best experience !!"

Hotel Las Americas Torre del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and always ready to help. The breakfast food was buffet styled Colombian cuisine, which changed little everyday but was very delicious. The kids always had something to do, and the kids club was something they continuously requested to go back to. At the top of the building there’s a fantastic adults only pool and, a gourmet restaurant with a very ample and delectable menu. The hotel did not have its own transportation, so uber or taxis were sometimes required. However, they do have a contract with a transportation service whom offered spacious vehicles and were very polite. The sea view was beautiful and the beach was normally not so crowded or filled with street vendors as compared to beaches closer to the center of the city. On the other hand, there was the occasional vehicle or motorcycle that kind of used the beach sand as a backstreet. Lastly the hotel is situated somewhat close to the airport, which is both a pro and a con. The drive from and to the airport was smooth and easy but, hearing planes taking off was very common. Overall I would definitely book my stay here again!"
