About
Hotel Valmar
Hotel Valmar sits in La Boquilla, a neighborhood known for its Afro-Colombian culture and a pristine 200-metre beach. It's a 17-minute stroll from Convento La Popa de la Galera, and the year-round good weather makes it a reliable pick for a beach-focused stay.
The hotel keeps things simple: Wi-Fi throughout, a 24-hour reception, and a range of practical services like airport shuttle, room service, dry cleaning, and a business centre. The single room type is a Quadruple Room, sleeping four, which suits families or small groups.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value rating is the weakest point — While rooms and service score high, the value category is noticeably lower at 7.9, suggesting some guests felt the price didn't fully match the experience.
- Basic room options — Only a Quadruple Room is listed, which may not suit couples or solo travellers looking for a smaller, more intimate setup.
- Potential noise from lively atmosphere — One review described the atmosphere as 'lively,' which could mean some noise for light sleepers.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel isn't an option.
