The Americas Torre Del Mar is a fantastic choice for travelers looking for space and sea views. The rooms are spacious with large balconies overlooking the ocean—perfect for relaxing in the morning light. While the hotel doesn’t have a private beach, it’s just steps away from a public stretch where you can swim and enjoy the waves. To secure a lounge chair and umbrella, there’s a small fee of 30,000 COP—reasonable enough, but be prepared for frequent vendors walking by selling drinks and snacks; this was the only minor downside. Everything else about the stay was excellent: the pool area is beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for families or groups. Breakfast was satisfying and varied, offering a good start to the day. Overall, the hotel delivers great value, especially for those traveling with kids or friends. It’s clean, welcoming, and offers an ideal balance of comfort and convenience. Highly recommended.
