Hilton Garden Inn Santa Marta
4.2/5103 Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Santa Marta

Santa Marta|1.25km from city centre
This hotel was a great choice as a solo traveler. Location was spot on and easy for me to find when lost in the midst of shopping and eating in the plazas around. Security guards the elevator which is convenient and offers a sense of safety throughout the day. 3rd floor check in was a dream coming in. They have a small shop for your essential needs ( water, snacks, beverages. Check in process was easy. If you don't know Spanish, do not worry. Most people speak to you in English unless you start conversations in Spanish. I booked a ocean view king size and I was thrilled on how my room was. Bed was comfy, the view of the harbor was fantastic ( especially during sunset). Bathroom had an enormous shower which I took advantage of, most places are small so I felt like a king. The room and all throughout the hotel was clean. I was amazed how everything looked. Only thing that was a con for the room was how thin the walls were on the hallway. You constantly hear people opening and closing their doors. I am happy that is the only noise I heard, still it was quite annoying. Then again it is a Hilton, which hosts many people. Still for peace and quiet at night I knew when people left and when they arrived. Breakfast restaurant was beautifully set. The servers were friendly and accommodating. I was bummed that they didn't really offer a lot of food choices. Most food I felt also didn't cater to the Colombian culture. I felt I was eating a buffet a an American hotel. If eating cereal, fruits, omelette, waffles, and maybe one or two Colombian dishes is enough for you then cool. For me however, I found more choices outside from the food vendors sellings arepas, empanadas, and tequenos. Gym was minor, for a quick pump it does well, but mostly catered to people who just want to do cardio. It only offered one bench chair to use dumbbells. Roof top bar was incredible. Great view and service from Luis was great. He's very friendly and easy to talk to. I'm happy that he was there since his level of service boosted up stay at Hilton. I definitely would be back, the location is the best and the little things like the people who work there outweigh more than the minor cons. Great job everyone!
Hotel Boutique Don Pepe
4.5/562 Reviews

Hotel Boutique Don Pepe

Centro Historico Santa Marta|0.95km from city centre
My wife and I had a terrific time staying at Hotel Don Pepe for 3 nights last week. Don Pepe is an oasis in Santa Marta as it is the former home of a wealthy gentleman ( Don Pepe!) and his large family vs a commercial hotel chain (while Don Pepe gets the name recognition, the real hero was his wife who produced so many children). This makes it a very special find for those who enjoy the taste of an authentic refined experience. - If you want a trendy (“ bougie” ) contemporary type of hotel to be seen/ check out others this is not it. The rooms were clean, cool, and updated (we stayed in 2 different rooms in order to help accommodate another guest). Beds and linens were very comfortable. The staff were courteous, helpful, and sincere. The small pools were cooling/ relaxing. The location is proximate to everything. Santa Marta is a city where most non Colombian tourists will visit in order to take a day-trip either to the mountains by car and/ or to the beaches by boat vs wanting to hang-out in the city itself. We did both of these day-trips. Specifically, we had a terrific experience with going to the small mountain town called Minca for a coffee, chocolate, eco tour, and we took a snorkeling and beach trip the following day ( the front desk at Don Pepe knows who are the better tour operators). Guasimo is a top end restaurant that is 3 blocks away that requires some planning to get a reservation (the front desk at Don Pepe can arrange this). A special shout-out to Edgar who served us breakfast every day and to both the front desk managers. - Gracias.

GHL Relax Hotel Costa Azul

Santa Marta
Let me start of by saying that the staff at GHL Hotel were VERY helpful. The minute we walked through the door we were treated like family. The check in process was very easy and quick. We didn't have to worry about our luggage the hotel handled all of that. The room were very clean. The rooms had a small sink near the entry door which I'm not sure why, a small closet, small refrigerator which included snacks and drinks (at a cost of course). I did notice that the hotel did not furnish face towels. Only had 2 towels and a hand towel. I did ask the front desk if any face towels were available and the response was we don't supply those. We were able to pickup a few face towels at the dollar store. The pool was amazing (kiddy pool and adult pool). The loved the location of the hotel. Was not far from the airport about 10 to 15 mins. The hotel is not that close to a grocery store but its a 10min cab drive. There is a small convince store on the property but will be limited on some things. The hotel sits on the beach shore which I took a beach walk every morning. The hotel restaurant was EXCELLENT!!!. The food was outstanding and very cheap. Although we did not know that much Spanish the staff was very helpful to cater to us and using our phone translator came in handy. I would have never thought I would have visit Colombia but now that I have I can't wait until I go back. This was a truly a great vacation. Thank you GHL Hotel Relax Costa Azul for a wonderful time. I like to give thanks to all the hotel staff.

Tamaca Beach Resort
4.1/579 Reviews
El Rodadero
It was a pleasure staying at the Tamaca beach resort for 3 nights. I would like to specially thank Milli.. a customer service representative who helped with getting covid-19 test results after checking out the previous day. Without the test results I would not have been able to board to fly back to the US. This is exceptional customer service and I thank Milli for the same. Considering that we are in the middle of a pandemic, there are restrictions such as specific beach and pool hours. The staff let's you know about these once you check in. The resort has a great ocean view and a superb pool. They have a tour origanizing office next to the entrance. All major attractions .. Tayrona, Minca and the rest are offered as tours by them.

I visited this hotel with my husband in May. It was our first time on this site. We liked the experience. There are 4 restaurants with different menus, it's for all tastes, and all the waiters were very friendly. Bed room was very clean, the beach too, we enjoyed this. In this site, Every day we could enjoy the shows while having a delicious drink. There were shows to have fun. The bartenders were very attentive, especially the one at the pool bar, who served us while we worked. We could rest and the same time we could work with all the comforts and a beautiful view.

Hotel location is not bad, breakfast is average, probably I still do not adapt to South American breakfast! However, it is much stronger than the United States! Hotel service is very good! Sound insulation is also OK!
