Hotel Facilities
Airport transfers:
Our recommendation is to take a cab from the airport. Taxis are registered, painted yellow and safe to use night or day. Journey time to the town centre is 10 mins and the fare is 10,000 pesos. However first time visitors may prefer a personal pick-up costing 20,000 pesos per person and this can be booked online with your room reservation.
Changing money:
There are plenty of banks and ATMs in town. We recommend drawing cash against your Debit Card or Credit Card from an ATM for both convenience and the best exchange rate. There are many exchange bureaus accepting USD or Euros at a poorer rate. Never change money in the street.
Tours and Excursions:
Our advice is to wait until you are here before booking any day trips to the islands or tours of the city. Unless you are visiting in high season there is plenty of capacity. Generally avoid the cheaper deals to the islands and go with our recommendations.
Electrical system:
Colombia uses an identical system to the USA, 110v 60 cycle and the same wall outlets. All our bathrooms have hair driers and an iron is available from our housekeeper.
Near By Sites
The hotel is in the centre of the old walled city and faces onto Plaza Fernandez de Madrid. We have romance and history on the doorstep. The plaza is supposedly the setting for Gabriel Marquez' "Love in the time of Cholera" and the church of Santo Toribio on the corner displays a cannon ball fired into its walls by Sir Francis Drake in 1585. The hotel Santa Clara and promenade are also within short walking distance.
