This was a lovely place that felt very private. The staff were amazing, setting up transportation for us, and recommending amazing restaurants. The rooftop bar, pool, and hot tub were just wonderful.

What an excellent little hotel. The staff was amazing. Very kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and the pool was a quiet oasis. It’s just far enough off the main area to be a little quieter but so close that it’s convenient to get anywhere you want.

This is a newer property and I've not seen it before on Expedia. The hotel is about a block from the beach and two or three blocks from the main restaurant areas. Room was adequate, pool was really cold which is unusual but the breakfast is really a standout for hotel food. I'd definitely recommend this hotel

Decent hotel, friendly staff, good location.

Check in with Eric was quick, a very friendly man. Breakfast was great, pool was refreshing. Rooms were ok, bed was comfortable, shower and bathroom were small and dated, but clean

Everything is clean and on point. Warm shower, Netflix ready tv, free water bottles and a mini fridge. Sure, maybe unnecessary luxuries for some, but it’s nice if you can get a good deal. Pool and jacuzzi are in excellent condition and always clean. Staff is also really nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It doesn't look like as in the pictures, it s much older ans show it s age. The roof top and the breakfast room are definitively in the need of an urgent refresh. But the WORSE is the presence of a huge colony of Pigeon Birds in the hotel. They are living in front of the rooms, in what used probably to be a vegetal wall. Nowadays it is a pigeon n'est, a huge one with all the inconvénients it brings along: Noise, and probably the most unpleasant, their personal waste. Unless you like these awful dirty street birds, it is an awful view. At the meantime, you can share this view ( Waste included ) at the breakfast room, while having your breakfast. This is unbearable and overall it gives a terrible feeling...that this place is poorly maintained and dirty.

Buen hotel! puede mejorar la experiencia

Muy cómodo hotel y personal muy atento, sin embargo, los servicios muy limitados. El restaurante solo funciona al desayuno, y si se quiere tener una reunión o trabajar posterior a ello, no hay servicio ni para un café.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Alko Cotona. The bed was suuuuper comfortable, the room immaculately clean, location is perfect (right by main drag for eating and drinking as well as only a few minutes from the beach!) — rooftop pool and restaurant/bar also great, with a view of the ocean/marina on one side and the mountains on the other. Most importantly, the quality of service and hospitality at Alko Cotona hotel is truly outstanding. Every staff member I encountered went out of their way to make everything perfect for me — Damaris at the bar/restaurant, Oscar at reception, and particularly Carlos, who was the shining star of my stay. Carlos helped me arrange everything I needed and went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of. He helped me arrange buses, taxis, and even checked with my hotel in Cartagena to make sure my booking there was in order. With his helpful attitude and impressive command of English, he is truly an asset to this entire operation. I am so grateful and highly recommend this hotel! Thank you, Carlos!!
