Top Santa Marta Bay Hotel Reviews

Blue Loft 14th floor, Jacuzzi, Sauna, Turkish bath, swimming pool, gym, spa, bar.

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near night life. I bought a day pass for a resort on the beach and then back to the condo for dinner. Best for 1 or 2 guests. There is a fold out couch but the unit is small so 3 people was too crowded. Great roof pool with view of the ocean and marina. Walk left out the door and there is a market a 1 minute walk with ATM in the garage. Money exchange is a 5 minute walk to the right, then another right. Note: They will only exchange up to 200 US dollars. Stay away from side streets as the shops close early. Stick to well travelled streets and take a uber everywhere at night."

Hotel Boutique Don Pepe

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and close to the main areas! That staff is super helpful and attentive. Just be cautious if you’re sensitive to the heat as the AC is a wall unit so the room doesn’t get cold easily!"

Best Western Plus Santa Marta Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel!"

U-GO Edificio Eira

10/10 Excellent

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

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!"

Arte Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was exactly what I was looking for. Less than a block from the beach and had a nice view. There was an issue with the water late one nite and it was resolved right away. Which I wasn’t expecting. So all in all, I got rest that i desperately needed. For the most part it was quiet and peaceful with the exception of construction on the street level. I like to be left alone and the hotel staff were not intrusive at all."
