The 10 best Specialty lodgings in Santa Marta, Colombia

May 6, 2023 Leonarda Pillsbury

The oldest city in Colombia, romantic Santa Marta is fringed by beautiful beaches and the stunning mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range. Ancient ruins take cover in the lush mangrove forests of Tayrona National Park, the perfect spot for a day hike. Snorkel along vibrant reefs, then make your way to a café for a multicultural meal that incorporates the flavors of Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. When the sun goes down, the nightlife kicks up its heels in the bars and discos of the Parque de Los Novios.

Monte Verde Hostal By Rotamundos

Fantastic experience!

Reviewed By diegosmart10

Tropical paradise! As we approached the hostal, we didn't expect it to be so awesome, it's situated next to the main road, but as we ventured in, we were astonished on how beautiful and organized the hostal was ran. The owner is very hands on, meaning she was always making sure the hostal was maintained at a high standard! The room was exceptionally clean, and modernized to meet our needs. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We wanted to get away from Palomino because of the influx of tourists, and found Hostal Monte verde - a great find! P.s, we miss their stunning dog, a cute chocolate labrador puppie! "Choco" P.s, this is the middle of the jungle, so expect and appreciate the wilderness!

Casa Mediterranea

If you're after a place near the airport for a quick stop in SantaMarta and be out of the chaos and close to nature, this is the perfect place for you. From the house u have an ocean view at the front and the mountains of Sierra Nevada at the back and its beautiful sunsets. The room counts with a private entrance, here you will find tranquility, comfy beds, clean linens, air conditioning, & your own private bathroom in the room. There are pets in the property Travellers Welcome!

Absolutely stunning!

Reviewed By Maciej N

Wonderful family atmosphere from the very moment you cross the gate. Family who runs this hotel is very welcoming, caring, open and will make you feel like a family member, not a hotel guest. Doing an extra mile in every service they provide, including room, exquisite cleanness, providing food service (I should mention that owner is a genuine Italian chef! so prepare for a break from usual Colombian food and brace yourself for great pasta and pizza!), or just having a pleasant conversation on a porch. I didn't feel like a hotel guest, more like visiting relatives in other country, really. And to mention usual stuff for hotel review - rooms are comfortable, cleanness is extraordinary, all facilities provided. Location is great for me - out of a hustle and bustle of Santa Marta, but within a short taxi ride. Neighborhood, although at first glance does not look inviting, is quiet and safe. Thank you Roxy (and your family of course) for this wonderful experience, it was a pleasure to stay with you!

Tiki Hut Santa Marta Hostel

You are invited to enjoy a new lodging in Santa Marta, Casa Etnia, a traditional house in a neighborhood called Bavaria, refurnished into a small guest house, where you can have quiet and relaxing days!

Amazing staff & manager/owner! Super Clean! Honest folk! Aircon!

Reviewed By Endri T

To sum up, the staff are absolutely incredible and the most helpful bunch you'll find anywhere. The manager/owner equally as fantastic. A super special thank you to Randy at reception, totally bada** guy while being the nicest & most helpful person you'll find and, the manager/owner whose name I have now forgotten :( I will never forget what they did for me (see below), and when I return to Cali, I will stay at no other place but Tiki Hut, simply because I know these people are honest to the bone and will always have my back. Long story short. Chose to head here without a reservation in my last week of travelling South America after 1.5 years away. Took a shared taxi from the airport to realise that I forgot my small (10L) backpack with all my valuables inside the taxi. Credit Cards, ID, iPad, GoPro5, bunch of Cash and, my external hard drive with all the footage for the last year and a half. I considered it all lost. I was left with 45,000 pesos in my pocket. The police didn't help much (this time - though they were super helpful in Cali when I lost my phone). The staff and manager (the manager from his home at midnight in constant phone contact with staff & people around the city) did everything they could by going totally out of their way in an incredible effort to find out who the taxi driver was that brought me from the airport. Miraculously, the manager somehow managed to track down the taxi using his city-wide connections, for the cabbie to show up at 7.30am with my backpack untouched with everything inside. I cannot say thank you enough!! Un million de gracias de la profundidad de mi corazon, ya desde Inglaterra. Espero que nos vemos pronto de nueve cuando llegare a SM! Besos y brazos infinitos!

Prima verblijf!

Reviewed By Tom_Kemperink

Goede ligging, 3km van de ingang van het Tayrona park, waarbij je makkelijk met de bus baar het park kunt op elk moment (2.000 peso’s pp). Het huisje is echt prima, heel schoon, alleen een klein beetje klein. Mooi zwembad en hangmatten om even af te koelen. De eigenaren zijn heel aardig en proberen je te helpen, ondanks dat ze geen Engels kunnen, kom je er met handen en voeten (en Google Translate) wel goed met ze uit. Een dag voelde ik me niet zo goed, maakte zij een drankje om te helpen, lieve mensen. Aanrader om heen te gaan, mocht je buiten het park willen blijven slapen.

My favourite budget hotel in Santa Marta, around $10 a night. Miles better than neighbouring 'hostel' type places, v clean tiled rooms, daily cleaning, ensuite, TV, towels and loo roll provided. Great location 200m from seafront.

Pésima atención, No recomendable

Reviewed By matildecupi

Me hospede unas semanas por cuestión de trabajo, y desde los primeros días el internet falló mucho, lo reporte y la gente del hotel no lo soluciono, no limpiaban las habitaciones siendo que cuando me hospedé me dijeron que harían limpieza, por si fuera poco me convencieron de quedarme más tiempo dándome una noche gratis y no cumplieron su palabra, prácticamente me corrieron del lugar siendo que ya habían reservado la habitación que ocupaba para otra persona, sin la atención de avisarme, la actitud de la recepcionista pésima no tienen buen trato con los huéspedes, NO Lo recomiendo

Excelente

Reviewed By edissoncastro1

Esto es un conjunto residencial en unidad cerrada, muy bien ubicado sector el rodadero a una cuadra y media de la playa principal, al frente el supermercado olímpica y al costado derecho el centro comercial arrecifes donde se encuentra carulla y una gran variedad de almacenes y hasta salas de cine procinal, la unidad cuenta con piscina para adultos, niños y un tobogán para mayor diversión, se debe tener en cuenta que por tratarse de apartamentos no todos tendrán las mismas comodidades y serán igual de bonitos o bien cuidados como otros, ya que depende del dueño del inmueble como mantiene su propiedad.
