- Victoria (9/5): Cómoda - Excelente habitación
- MarceBook (8/5): - La cercania al mar , y que se podia utilizar piscina del resort Los panificados del desayuno
- Julian (2/5): -
- KELLY (8/5): Todo estuvo perfecto a excepción del horario de check in que ofrecen en la página de booking - La hubicacion cerca y comodidad Deben corregir horario check in en booking, realize la reserva porque decía que era a partir de las 00:00 horas y al llegar al hotel me dicen que era a partir de las 15:00pm. Estaba con una infante y como ya habíamos salido del anterior alojamiento me vi obligada a tomar la habitación, para no seguir buscando más opciones de alojamiento, guardar las cosas en recepción y salir del hotel a un plan b.
- Charles J (3/5): -
- Andres Villa Brieva (8/5): - Camas cómodas, buen desayuno, acceso al resort! Muy básica la habitación, faltaba fuerza al agua de la ducha

- HEBERT (6/5): NO MUY AGRADABLE - DESAYUNO ES BUENO. QUE AL CHEQUEO ME COBRARON EL MONTO DE LA ESTADIA, LA CUAL CANCELE YA QUE ERA LO PREPUESTADO POR BOOKING, Y AL OTRO DI ME LLAMAN QUE TENGO QUE PAGAR 201,000 PESOS MAS EQUIVALENTE APROX A 52 DOLARES Y PORQUE ELLOS SE HABIAN EQUIVOCADOS, OSEA NO RESPETARON EL MONTO ORIGINAL,QUE DECIA BOOKING EN LA RESERVA, ME PARECE QUE ES FALTA DE RESPETO AL HUESPEDE, RECLAME Y LA RECEPCIONISTA ME DIJO QUE SI NO LO CANCELABA ME TENIA QUE RETIRAR. ALEGANDO QUE YO NO ESTABA DE TURISTA, SI NO QUE YO VIVIA EN COLOMBIA, CUESTION QUE SE LO DEMOSTRE CON MIS ENTRADAS Y SALIDAS QUE TIENE MI PASAPORTE, PERO HIZO CASO OMISO A MI PLANTEAMIENTO.
- Serge (7/5): -
- Andrés (9/5): -
- Elkin Angulo (10/5): - Todo muy bueno
- Davide (3/5): Si no fuera por la piscina del Tamaca, hotel de 1 estrella - La piscina y el servicio de restaurante cerca de la piscina Relación calidad - precio pessima instalación del hotel precario, viejo y de baja calidad en relación al precio propuesto. Desayuno escaso con pocas opciones. Un buffet que no es buffet !
- Oscar (9/5): Personal Amable - La colaboración y amabilidad del personal. Desayuno bueno. Habitaciones limpias. En el balcón de la habitación seria ideal colocar una o 2 sillas
- Gina (8/5): -

- Jairo (8/5): Recomendado - Todo estaba bien Todo normal
- OSCAR (1/5): -
- Perez coll (7/5): - La piscina El inodoro del baño
- Paipa (3/5): Tiene oportunidad de mejora - El hotel realmente tiene buena ubicación y esa es su principal fortaleza, hace falta mejorar el servicio y también mantenimiento a las instalaciones, el desayuno es un término medio, y hay información imprecisa, cuando reserve decía niños gratis pero cuándo llegue me realizaron un cobro importante por los menores, adicionalmente querían cobrar cosas de aseo que dejan en la habitación y que no se habían consumido, como oportunidad de mejora hacer el check Out en presencia del cliente,pero solo hasta q se esta en recepción alguien de hotel informa lo q supuestamente falta, adicionalmente los precios de esos productos deberían ser proporcionales a su valor real, q valga el doble del precio comercial es suficiente pero un producto q vale 2000 te lo ponen por los menos 3 veces por encima.
- Nolberto (8/5): Cumple expectativas - Excelente todo Todo cómodo
- Andrea Lucia (10/5): Una buena estadía - Muy bueno el hotel, excelentes habitaciones
- Rito (10/5): Hermosas Vacaciones - El desayuno delicioso. El tener derecho para entrar al Hotel Tamaca, disfrutar de esa piscina hermosa y de las comodidades como lo de la carpa, las toallas, el pasar para la playa, el lugar para bañarse y quitarse la arena, súper excelente. La ubicación muy buena. Todo me gustó.
- GILMA (7/5): Del BLU A TAMACA - La facilidad para llegar al Tacama resort y aprovechar la zona de entretenimiento piscina y mar Desayunos básicos y poca variedad Falta mayor cuidado y atención a muebles y al hotel en general
- Aura (8/5): Ya on está son dos veces que me he quedado con mi familia - La propiedad necesita un poco más de mantenimiento las puertas y los muebles Me gusta que queda cerca a la playa
- Olga (8/5): -

- perez pineda (10/5): Excelente - Las habitaciones son limpias en excelentes condiciones la cama y el colchón son muy cómodos, cuentan con buena fuente de aire acondicionado el servicio del personal es muy atento, el servicio de desayuno es exquisito presentando preparaciones frescas y variadas durante la estancia.
- Patricio Santagapita (9/5): - El usar la pileta y carpas del otro Hotel. Realmente está cerca y es muy cómodo ir y volver. Algo ruidoso y el cierre de la cortina no es hermético. Nada grave, solo alertar para quienes sean más sensibles.

- José Alberto (9/5): Confort - Limpieza Mucho ruido
- Eliana Rocio (8/5): - El desayuno estuvo muy bien, el personal de servicio es amable, el hotel esta ubicado en el rodadero Que el hotel no tuviera piscina dentro de sus instalaciones, hay que ir al otro hotel Tamacá que esta en frente para usar la piscina

- José Anibal (9/5): MUY AGRADABLE - Muy bueno en general. Un día en el desayuno no ofrecían alternativa y la actitui de la srta que atendió no fue la mejor
- Robert (8/5): -
- Pedro (9/5): Superb - Very nice stay. Staff helped a lot about all the details. The room was clean and quiet at night. Breakfast was OK.
- Richard (6/5): - I stayed at this hotel for 4 days. Before booking a 2 day birdwatching tour to Minca, I asked the front desk if it was ok to leave my luggage in their storage room overnight and pick up the next day. They said yes no problem. Then when I checked out and wanted to leave it there, they said their manager said no unless I was staying there. That put me in a annoying situation...but luckily the tour company was able to keep it at their office in Minca. So, I am not happy with service because of this episode. Other than customer service, the hotel is ok.
- Ben (8/5): Very good -
- Diana (8/5): Relaxing and nice!! - Staff, the facilities at the resort and breakfast The price, with elevator.
- Laura (10/5): It was great - Resort was fantastic Nothing
- Marc (10/5): Excelent place - Everything N/a
- Richard (6/5): Pleasant - The location and the use of the sister hotel's swimming pool. The breakfast was not good. The selection was very limited and very little changed from day to day. The options were much better in prior stays.
- Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Consuelo (8/5): - I really like Blu Hotel, but when I booked the room, it said that it has a pool. There’s no pool in the premises. I had to go across the street to the partner hotel, which I thought it was false advertising… the service & staff were great.
- Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yamile (7/5): Staff is very friendly and kindly. Room was very clean and comfortable. Pool front of the beach was wonderful - Staff is very friendly and kindly. Room was very clean and comfortable. Pool front of the beach was wonderful Elevator looks old
- Glenda (10/5): - Perfect
- Belkis (7/5): Good - The room was nice and big. The breakfast was very poor and the staff attending is wasn't nice at all.
- Cinthia (9/5): Superb -
- Juan (5/5): Passable -
- Verified traveler (8/5): Estadía satisfactoria - Acceso a la piscina del hotel Tamacá (que es genial) y a la playa a través de las instalaciones del mismo hotel. La ubicación es buena, tiene un Farmatodo al lado, un centro comercial (Arrecifes) a pocos pasos, un Acuario al frente. Las instalaciones tienen sus años pero están bien. Por mejorar el ascensor.
- Gustavo A (8/5): Buen hotel pero tiene cosas por mejorar - En general el hotel es bueno y bonito, esta vez si tuvimos algunos inconvenientes. El ascensor no funcionaba y nos dieron las habitaciones en el piso 4, hasta el próximo año lo piensan arreglar así que solicitamos cambio de habitación porque mis padres tienen más de 60 años y no pueden estar subiendo y bajando escaleras todo el día, nos cambiaron a los dos días. El desayuno considero podría ser mejor, es muy básico, solo huevo y dos tipos de fruta, podrían mejorar. Otra cosa a mejorar es la cuestión de toallas en la piscina, de 7 días, 4 días no nos suministraron toallas porque no habían lavadas, es muy terrible que un hotel como el Tamacá estén dando esas excusas todos los días. En general buena estadía, los empleados son muy amables, pero si deben mejorar muchos factores en el servicio ya que el valor de las habitaciones no es bajo.
- Wiederaufachse1 (8/5): Very good -
- Mauro_travelover (10/5): I love TAMACA HOTELS - It was an incredible experience and we enjoyed our time at this hotel, it's location is perfect to take different activities such as going to the aquarium and playa blanca, tayrona park and other places. There is a little options for fun and parties and the nights has not quite fun. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, the elevator looks like old and unsafety but you can used the stairs.
- Hernando (10/5): Exceptional -
- Producciones (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
- Raul (10/5): - Close to everything
- Jorge (8/5): Very good price-quality balance - Very clean and very friendly staff Very noisy during nights and the amenities were not a 4-stars level. It was a very very good 3-stars hotel
- Catherine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mr. (8/5): Very good - The personnel were very attentive. Breakfast was good. Security was very good. And the location is good, seeing how many attractions and noise were there on the "Malecon" walkway. Some of the amenities in the room, were a bit old. Some blackbirds were very attentive for cleaning up the plates before you start eating or when you're done eating.
- Claudia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Brian (10/5): - Muy bueno
- Ji (1/5): Bad -
- TheVacationDude65 (10/5): Great Hotel, Great Location - If you are looking for a great hotel , book Blu Hotel, the location, the staff and the rooms are excellent, and the price is great. Plus by booking here you have access to their sister property across the street with beach access. We will return again for sure
- Leidy Tatiana (8/5): - Pasamos un muy bien tiempo, el persona es amable y lo mejor de todo es que tienes el acceso para ir al Resort Tamaca, dónde la piscina es excelente!
- Jaclyn (7/5): Good -
- Bryan (7/5): Good - Location, was good near the beach, Breakfast was good. Great pool area. The rooms are not sound proof, both the door to the room and balcony door rattled from the wind. We put towels in the door frames to stop the noise. Hotel is very noisy, hard to sleep.
- Leandro (6/5): correcto ... pero reserva engañosa - Hotel en condiciones correctas pero con falencias básicas para un alojamiento costero. El desayuno es definitivamente malo y no cuenta con restaurante ni room service de ningún tipo. La pileta y servicios de bar están en el hotel hermano, a unos 30 metros. Muy poco amigable.
- Amit (3/5): An below average experience. Look for other options - I travel a lot and given the month of December, we decided to stay at the hotel. It was an okay experience. The Staff was not very friendly. The hotel is not that clean. Given the choices, I would opt for other hotel and stay away from this one.
- Eliana (8/5): Very good -
- Niurka (4/5): - En horario de check in y check out deben tener 2 personas en recepción
- Niurka (8/5): - La chica de recepcion muy amable y atenta. El gerente de counter muy descortés, no tiene vocación de servciio
- 378viviannep (10/5): Wonderful - Very careful and friendly staff, beautiful view of sunsets and sunrises. Tamaca club is an excellent beach and swimming pool experience. It’s placed near to shopping center and in front of Mundo Marino”.
- Amit (8/5): Very good - Given the time of the year that we visited (Dec to Jan) this place was best to stay for the value. It was clean compared to the other hotels, breakfast was included and the staff was friendly. We didn't like the location. It was smelling a lot just as we walked two blocks from the hotel. The area near the hotel needs serious cleaning. It's just disgusting and unhygienic for family to be walking around in such areas.
- Pamela (8/5): Good value for the money. - The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom also had plenty of space and everything you need (shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc). The mini bar in the bedroom was convenient, after arriving late and not wanting to go out (i.e., for water). Having access to the main resort across the street was a bonus. It was literally a two minute walk, and you have access to the beach and pool. It was a little loud in the evening (e.g., music playing outside). However, I am a light sleeper and using ear plugs helped during the night. I paid for a large water (which I drank), and at check-out they were insisting that I also opened up a small water (which was not the case). At the end, it wasn't about paying for it, but I had not touched it. It was settled eventually.
