El hotel el agua es muy poca al momento de uno duch****, adicional a eso a todos mis amigos que se encontraban en las otras habitaciones les sacaron dinero de sus billeteras, todos ls días que ingresaban a realizar el aseo se perdían 50.000 pesos no es un hotel seguro para dejar las pertenencias.

La atención en el hotel estuvo bien pero en general en Taganga hay mucho desorden, y en hostales no ofrecen buena información, parece que no quisieran turistas, falta que algún gobernante ponga orden en la playa, motos, carros, y lanchas, el espacio publico terrible, lástima porque de ahí se parte a muchos lugares hermosos.

So I live in Medellin and travel extensively throughout all of Colombia and this visit/stay in Taganga has been about my 4th in the past 5 years. This visit in July 2021 was in the middle of my month long, 3,260km exploration of the whole Carribean coastline and so my travel partner and I needed some relaxing beach days which we got from our 4 day stay at La Ballena Azul Hotel. Basically the horror stories that you read in the other reviews are all legit, this hotel is run down, things don't work, the 2 spas in the center court have no water but plenty of mosquitos, the service is pathetic and I am being generous. This all being said the LOCATION could not be better as your on the beach, literally the sand is steps away. So best thing that I can say is have zero expectations and if you get a good promotion deal, like I did as the net cost for our hotel room was very reasonable, only then you can "make do". It actually looks like they are attempting to do some remodeling to the building. I will check it out the next time I am in Taganga. Now this is interesting, my good friend, my travel buddy from Medellin, and he loved the place, why? He as a true Colombian has little expectation and goes with the flow which is something you must adapt to in order to enjoy the stay.

En una sola semana tres veces llegó al hotel ambulancia para llev**** a clientes del hotel por intoxicación, y no es de extrañar cuando el cocinero saca un pescado del congelador y vuelve a congelar por más de 5 veces ( según el es normal) y su propietaria una tal Margarita que presume de Chef de cordón blue lo permite, aun que con toda la ********* que se fuma lo debe de ver todo bonito y de colorines. Hotel con unas paredes junto al cementerio ( procuren no les den esas, por las vistas) aun que las que dan al mar son aun peor pues en las noches la rumba, música y gritos ayudados de una pésima insonorización aran imposible su descanso, en unas Suites con jacuzzi que por supuesto no funcionan, hotel carísimo en el que los escorpiones pasean de noche por las habitaciones, y un pésimo servicio de atención al cliente que harán de su estancia, en esta paradisíaca Taganga un infierno. Junto a la parada de taxis y rotonda central del pueblo en la puerta de entrada, su ruido es interminable de dia y de noche, y los precios de su restaurante 4 veces más caro que, cualquier otro de los muchos restaurantes de alrededor atendidos por nativos que se desvíen en atenciones y ofrecen pescado fresco real. En definitiva, el peor lugar donde aloj**** o comer algo no sólo de Taganga si no de toda Colombia, incluso el desayuno es pésimo, con jugó de naranja rebajado con agua, y un plato de fruta cortada horas antes en el que, las moscas son su mejor decoración.
