"This place is great the staff speaks very good English. Geraldine is the best! She will help you however she can to make your stay the best!"

Placita Vieja Hotel Boutique Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect. Charming setting and skilled masseuses."

HOTEL BOUTIQUE OLAS MARINAS LUXURY

10/10 Excellent

"A very comfortable room (we stayed in one with two queen beds) with a great air conditioner. The location is excellent -- very close to Parque de los Novios, but is on a quieter street that does not have the traffic and noise closer to the park. The room's large-screen TV offers a great selection of cable channels. We were also impressed with the breakfast -- a traditional Colombian meal of eggs, arepa, toast, and natural juice. You should really enjoy your Santa Marta experience if you stay at this hotel!"

U-GO Edificio Eira

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it first will be first choice on any trip to Santa Marta great price"

Grand Marina Oceanview Apartments by Xarm Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent during my stay. The service was impeccable, the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the facilities were in perfect condition. It was truly a great experience that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it!"

Viajero Santa Marta Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Viajero Santa Marta is easily the best Viajero in Colombia! I spent about two weeks here on three separate visits, so I know the place quite well. First and most importantly, it's amazing value for money. The quality of the building and the rooms and the facilities is excellent. The rooftop pool and bar are beautiful, and if the hostel is well-booked out, the atmosphere up there is usually great. My only complaint is that the kitchen is too small to accommodate all the guests who want to use it, plus the cleaning staff as well, who also use it. It also lacks some obvious things (like bowls). It could also do with a quiet room for coworking, but the cafe is fairly decent for that (it's just a little loud due to the music). Otherwise, great place!"
