Santa Marta

Santa Marta is located in the north of Colombia, on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in South America , distinguished by beautifully preserved colonial architecture. Sounds good right? Well, Santa Marta has her loyal fans as well as loyal opponents. Although you will find a lot of monuments here, over the years the city has filled a lot of chaotic, not fully thought out buildings.

After all, it is worth dropping by, if only to relax on one of the beaches or go to the mountains, to the amazing Parque Nacional Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. In the city itself, take a walk along the promenade - Carrera 1c, visit the Gold Museum (Museo del Oro) and the cathedral. Santa Marta is also known for its wide range of nightlife . You will find the most pubs on the seaside promenade. Parties last there until very late (or even early) hours in the morning.

For whom?

Are you planning to explore the north of Colombia ? Then Santa Marta will be a good base for you. You will be close to the mountains. You'll have beaches by the side. In addition, the city itself guarantees a lot of entertainment. So if you like to party , you'll like it here too.

Oasis Fresh Hotel

The stay at the Oasis Fresh Hotel was pure pleasure. Literally and figuratively. It has all the possible advantages: central location, proximity to the beach and numerous cafes/restaurants. Additionally, there are wonderful interiors, very exclusive, but without pomp. There are swimming pools, a terrace with a view and top-class service. And my room was just great.

Hotel Suite Boutique El Cactus

I like to stay in boutique hotels because they usually offer a quieter and more intimate atmosphere. That was also the case here. This hotel offers excellent value for money. The interiors are bright and very pleasantly decorated. There is a small swimming pool on site. Breakfasts are pure poetry.
República Bahía Santa Marta Hostel

República Bahía Santa Marta Hostel

In my opinion, the República Bahía hostel is one of the best hostels not only in Colombia, but in all of South America. And believe me, I've tested them a bit. It has an amazing atmosphere and great interior design. Lots of greenery and colors. There is a swimming pool in the courtyard. There are plenty of places to chill out.
Hotel Boutique Don Pepe

Hotel Boutique Don Pepe

Hotel Boutique Don Pepe is a place worth recommending. I had a nice three days there. The room was spacious, bright and filled with nice furniture and accessories. The common spaces are also elegant. The included breakfast was very tasty. Close to the beach and the center.
AC Hotel By Marriott Santa Marta
Excellent

AC Hotel By Marriott Santa Marta

I really liked the hotel belonging to the Marriott chain. Why? Because it is located on the seafront. From the room I could admire a beautiful, vast panorama. The swimming pool was also a big plus. You can also admire the views while swimming in it! The price was, contrary to appearances, very competitive. I recommend!
