It's a bit more expensive than the hotels in the centre, but it's still worth it! They have a garden, cats, a pool, trees... you really relax while you stay at Camali.

Awesome stay. I extended it 9 days longer. I LOVED the staff, the pool, the cleanliness, the palm trees and the caring way the whole hotel was built. Chapeau Ms. Philippe.

Our family of four love this place! It is a real gem, conveniently located next to a park with plenty of great restaurants and a convenient store. The hotel itself is perfect for kids and a peaceful sanctuary. It’s clean and gorgeous without feeling stuffy. I highly recommend spring for The rooms their pool side.

Nice place with great staff
Reasonably priced nice hotel with pretty garden area, helpful staff, hot showers, four breakfast options, cute cats and a turtle. 20 minute walk to historic center or 15.000 COP taxi ride. Lots of Columbian families, bit noisy outside some of the rooms though pretty quite after 8 pm.

The property is really nice and the chef/food was brilliant. The hotel service was hit and miss. They ask you to leave your keys when you leave the hotel and when we came back very tired and messy from a beach hike we waiting 15 minutes as we rung the bell and yelled at the front gate before anyone came. The power also all went out one day and we were told they didnt know when it would come back so we had to leave.
