GHL Relax Hotel Costa Azul

The whole family really enjoyed this hotel. First, it felt safe with guards at entrance and exits. Then, the facilities are great for kids, the two pools and the proximity to the beach. The restaurant also serves great food with a buffet breakfast. We used this hotel as our base to explore the surrounding areas, cities, beaches and the famous Tayrona Park. We also left our car there while travelling by plane to Medellin. The four of us highly recommand this hotel! Kudos!

For the most part the staff was friendly and accommodating Nothing to do on the beach which is closed at night for security reasons. If you want to take a romantic walk on the beach at night, it’s the wrong place to go. The food is decent but expensive for the area. The night manager takes kickbacks from the cab drivers openly which comes out of your pocket because those drivers charge you extra extra to make the kickback back. Ride that cost me 90 pesos going out cost 50 pesos coming back in….. Because of this alone I will not be back. This place is very far away from town and I spent the majority of my vacation money in taxis getting overcharged partly because of the night manager/front desk gentleman. Next time I’m staying in Santa Marta proper, it’s all beach there….

The hotel is located near the airport. I like everything except that there is only 1 restaurant.

Great hotel it is near the airport so it is very convenient. But it is far away from any town or city. So if you want an experience where you’re remote and like being in one spot then this is the place. Going into town to buy things or go to a restaurant is a $10 can ride each way.

It's great family hotel. A lot of activities for kids. As for the location it was only 5 minutes from the airport but there is nothing else around there. So if you are not planning on leaving the hotel it's great but everything else is a 30 minute taxi ride away. Even to get something simple to eat. The hotel staff was friendly. The rooms are a good size but the beds were too soft for me at least. And one thing I didn't like is they charged me for half a day because I asked to check out 2 hours later because.y flight was delayed. And they did not need the room for anyone else. I know this because I had 2 adjoining rooms and told me they can only give me one room because the other was taken.

Nice hotel, large size rooms. The location is close to the airport and on the beach. The ability to walk to town is not a possibility, you must taxi. Nice pool and children's area.

Good hotel located far away from the city so it is a quiet place to rest. Good service. Good food with enough variety. Very clean. Safe for solo travelers. 30min away from city center so not the best place if you want to move around. Quiet and clean beach with respectful food/beverage sellers. Some parts of the hotel need renovation
