Anyone been to Santa Marta, Colombia? I’m going to be spending one night there, and my date has said she wants to be downtown but wants me to pick the hotel because it will be my birthday week. I’ve narrowed it down to the HGI, AC, or boutique Don Pepe. HGI or AC would be sea view rooms, while Don Pepe could be a great experience as it’s a 12 room boutique hotel, which I’ve heard can make for excellent customer service. I have diamond and platinum. Thoughts? Open to other suggestions too. TIA!

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?
