    Nice resort, especially for families and for those wanting sports (classes and courts), beach and spa facilities.

    Not sure why there was over concern about pool towels (not able to get these the day of late checkout) and charging hotel restaurant meals to the room.

    Beautiful and not crowded pool areas. Spa was also nice and with relaxing massage at a reasonable price. Room was clean, modern and spacious, with great views from a top floor of property and beach. Beach area is secure.

    The food wasn't up to standard or value for the price. I've stayed there before and the food was much better. THe menus were too much alike in the different restaurants and just not very good quality.

    The staff were super friendly and helpful, the beach was clean, as was the pool, the lifeguards seemed very dependable and the rooms were very nice.

    The security guards on the beach are far too over the top and controlling. I was chastised for having a cooked fish at the beach that i brought from the resorts beach restaurant. stating it will destroy the ecosystem and i needed to eat it in a controlled location and they allow outside vendors to sell anything they can and allow people to bring in meats, cheeses and processed foods as they like. get consistent and if there are rules make them known to people so they can avoid breaking them not tell them after they have ordered them in good faith to be able to enjoy them under the shade of their umbrella

    Beautiful place to relax

    A few service hiccups here and there. At times the employees look a bit tense and their service gets impacted. Most of the time they are kind and helpful.

    The gardens, the beach and the overall feel. A real gem in the caribbean.

    They never respect prices from booking and they charge whatever they want. Also, very inconvenient that after the booking is done they request a payment via transaction otherwise you might lose your booking. So I wonder, why do you book and make use of your credit card when you have to transfer money. Ridiculous

    It’s disappointing that a five stars hotel does not water in the room to make a cup of coffee. They put one bottle just for the first night.

    The facilities are great! All the pools are amazing. The rooms are very comfortable. Food is good enough, typical resort food.

    Everything was great I cannot think about anything that needs to be improved.

    Everything was exceptional. First of all the staff should be mentioned because they all gave a great service. The garden, beach, the pools all was magnificent. I can only think positive about Irotama.

    This is not a hotel issue, but for anyone who is sensitive to mosquito bites, make sure to bring precautions. We traveled in mid June so not all restaurant/bar options were available. There are other options in the area and further out in Rodadero/Santa Marta.

    The whole grounds of the hotel are very green and lush which makes it a very special hotel in the area. The services on the beach are very good (seats, kiosks, table service and security). The breakfast was delicious with a large selection. Beautiful sunsets. Helpful staff. It has a mini market with anything you may have missed.

    The hotel bars close at 10 or 11 pm, so after these hours it is hard to get something to drink in case you want. This might be improved.

    The room was spacious, and the amenities as well very good. There are a lot of activities available at the hotel, the breakfast is really good and everyone is nice and supportive. Customer care is something that is working perfectly in Colombia. :) The beach is right in front of the hotel, and the pool areas are also nice.
