6/10
Reviewed Jul 21, 2026El hotel es bueno, pero podría ser mucho mejor si se fijan en unos detalles que son totalmente mejorables por las personas propietarias. Está bien aseado, sus instalaciones son agradables, una piscina muy bien tenida, está en una buena zona y el personal que atiende en la recepción es diez puntos.
El hotel se raja en detalles que se deberían poder cuidar. Primero y quizás el más importante, el desayuno es rico pero si usted llega entre 8 y 9 am, que es la hora límite para servir, o incluso 7:30 am, es muy probable que estén los alimentos fríos, ya que ponen un samobar pero apagado, por lo que los alimentos no conservan su calor, teniendo en cuenta que sirven a las 6:30 a.m. Por otro lado no le hacen aseo a las habitaciones si usted tiene la reserva activa, no se si esto fue porque fui un fin de semana, donde no tienen mucho personal, de hecho después de las 5 pm solo está la recpcionista, pero estuve un sábado y un domingo y no se le hizo aseo al cuarto mientras yo estaba en él, nunca se acercaron a tocar a ver si lo podían realizar, que es lo habitual en cualquier hotel, también sería bueno que hubiera una persona más ayudando a la recepcionista, con eso generan más empleo y puede atender ciertas solicitudes, yo fui con mi bebé y no fue posible cambiar una hedredón que él orinó porque no había quien pudiera hacerlo en la tarde. Por otro lado también sería importante que se enfatice el tema del reciclaje, por dignidad de las personas que reciclan y por cuidado del planeta, solo hay una caneca para reciclar en todo el hotel y en los cuartos solo hay una caneca, la del baño, con lo que es imposible separar los residuos.

If you want to charge your guest 80.000. more than the given price by booking.com and being asked about it, you should have the decently to apologize, or the smartness to say that it was a mistake, not a lot of words about that you accept that your quest doesn't want to be fooled. I accept 20–30' more paying with Visa, but not 80’. So I paid with cash the day after. After the incident and me being tougher, I got good service.

Reviewed Oct 9, 2023Nice pool area. The lady at breakfast and also one of the ladies in reception were very nice and helpful.
Starting by the fact I was asked more money than what was actually on my confirmation, which I immediately refused. Eventually, it was the price I had in my confirmation. I feel that the receptionist from this point was totally unfriendly for the remaining of my stay. AC had an issue that was only resolved on the last day of my stay. Lastly, when I asked the receptionist for towels for the swimming pool, I was told they don't provide. I wonder if I had to go to my room, bring the wet, and used towels in there to the pool. I'm not sure if they would give me new towels to shower in the room afterwards. I work in a Marriott Hotel with 250 rooms and manage both reception and housekeeping. If these things would have happened in my hotel, there would have been 50% compensation at least. I will come to Monteria again for sure, for many times, but surely won't stay here again. Avoid this place if you want to enjoy your stay in Monteria.
