We had a really nice balcony where you could watch the sunset.
The room has a fridge which is nice. Everything was clean and comfortable and the hotel is directly at the beach and main spot for restaurants.
On weekends it is really busy on the street and you hear the traffic and party noise through the windows.

The excellent staff was very attentive and helpful! They did an excellent job! The rooms were small but EXACTLY what we wanted/needed. The rooms were very economical and VERY clean. All in all, I was very impressed with Ballena Azul and will definately wtay there again when I go to Taganga!
The coffee situation could have been a little better. When I think of coffee in Colombia, I think of a better set up at the hotel/ Having said that, if I complain about the coffee? Everything else is great! Had a blast
