Blu Hotel By Tamacá

Its location.

During booking hotel provided two room options, but all hotel rooms are the same with two double beds. Rooms had a musky smell. Bathroom water pressure was low, and water took too long to heat. Breakfast was poor, and silverware on tables wasn’t properly cleaned.

VERY DANGEROUS - DO NOT STAY HERE. Although the restaurant closes at 10 am, when I tried to eat a snack inside the front desk agent told me I had to eat outside. While outside 3 gang members tried to rob me. I ran across the street to a restaurant where they continued to shout and wave their knives at me and the owner of the restaurant. Then a kid ran by them, Im guessing from another gang and they chased him, one of them striking the kid in the head with a rock at which point the other 3 continued kicking him. The restaurant called the police and I was able to sneak away in a taxi. This was 10 meters away from the hotel.

VERY DANGEROUS LOCATION - NOT SAFE. Though the restaurant closes at 10 am, the hotel does not allow outside food to be brought in. I sat down for a snack but was told by the hotel agent I had to eat my food outside. There is a gang that hides out 20 meters in front of the hotel and 3 of them tried to rob me while I ate. I was able to run across the street to a restaurant and the gang members stayed outside shouting until I was able to sneak away in a taxi. If youre looking for a relaxing place or place to take your family do not stay here. Also, check in took over an hour. Understaffed and front desk agent couldn't handle multiple tasks
