Hot tub was fine. I would have staid Sun-Sat but your price changed dramatically over the next 3 days. Sorry.

Hotel Sky Collection Barranquilla
The hotel has great potential but the rooms need cosmetic work done. Also, the sliding door needs to adjusted because of the strong winds it was very noisy.

Hotel El Prado
The grounds are beautiful. The pool area is so lovely with all the palm trees. Nice pool bar and seating. We stayed in one of the historic rooms. It was large and beautiful with old tiles. The breakfast buffet was plentiful. Staff were good.
