Five Diamond Award

Five Diamond Hotels and Resort are granted Five Diamonds, not only because of their luxury accommodations but more importantly because of the quality of their services and amenities. There are no Five Diamond Awards for vacation apartment rentals but if there were, Poblado Rentals would surely be a FIVE DIAMOND AWARD VACATION APARTMENT. I have stay at many time share units including the Four Season’s luxury timeshare units in Aviara, San Diego. When you compare the quality of service offered by the Four Season’s and the services of Ruben at Poblado Rentals, I would take Ruben every day. He is there to help you with whatever you need, never having to wait, just “at your service.” My unit was comfortable, and had everything that you needed to feel at home. Bring your suitcase, buy your groceries and everything else is there. Can’t begin to tell you how pleased I was and how much I enjoyed my stay at Poblado Rentals. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Owner response:This review, has moved me, to continue doing what we do. I agree Ruben is one of the best property managers in Medellin, and I couldn't be a prouder boss. Thank you Jerry, your more like family then a renter to us.

I have nothing but positive and radiant reviews about not only this 4 bedroom heavenly place but more so - the owner and his Medellin liason. Here is an email on the behalf of the three of us who stayed here giving thanks once we got back home to "reality". "Hi Barry & Ruben, By now the four of us are settled back in to what we consider "reality" and are already thinking of how and when we will be seeing Medellin again. Thanks to both of you every one of us had an amazing/memorable time and will gladly recommend others to engage in business with you. We appreciate your attentiveness and most of all are grateful for your hospitality. We will have stories for a lifetime of our 11-day Medellin trip. As I mentioned to you when we spoke on Friday, we try our best to surround myself with individuals who are positive, humble, & most of all genuine in their ways. We can tell immediately both yourself and Ruben are great people and the generosity you've displayed won't be forgotten. .... Our contact phone #'s are below as well as our email addresses. We look forward to staying in touch in the near future. Sincerely, Anonymous"

What a great location!

What a great location. I was reluctant to stay at a rental. I am a hotel person. How ever this is the best choice I could have made. The apartment was great, it was decorated like a model home. It was like staying at a high end hotel for a fraction of the cost. I was able to walk to the park with all the bars and restaurants. When we had to meet with the manager to get the keys they were right on time, and very professional. For those who don't know Colombia right on time is rare. I was very happy with my trip and will stay there again.

This apartment is located in the perfect location! Right near all of the action yet quite enough for rest and relaxation. Its also secure and safe which is very important in Colombia. The local manager speaks English fluently and is a really nice guy. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants and entertainment. l have been to Medellin several times but this trip was the best and the apartment had a lot to do with it.

Owner response:Thanks Matt, we will look forward to having you stay with us again.)
