"A bit of a daunting 30 minute drive up from Minca but hotel organised the transfer both ways at very reasonable cost and it was more than worth it. A beautiful location and a must for birdwatchers. The nearby waterfall, easily walkable, was quite an experience. "

"A beautiful quieter stay, walking distance from Costeño Beach. Perfect for a couple looking for a quiet, beach getaway, but still close to the party if you're willing to walk. Excellent boutique 1:1 service! "

"It’s a Hostel direct on the Beach. It has 2 rooms with a touch of luxury but it is and remains a Hostel and not a Hotel. We had one of this luxury room with balcony and it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The service lady’s was very friendly and helpful. Around the hostel are many other hostels and restaurants for lunch and dinner. We had a nice small breakfast in the hostel. Internet is mostly available but all these area on the beach has not a really good coverage. Be aware that you...

"We had booked three nights and it was the third time we visited the hotel within ten years. The hotel staff are very service friendly and the rooms were clean and nice, although a little worn. The location of the hotel is fantastic, right next to a private beach. We had a lovely stay as always❤️"

Santa Marta's El Rodadero neighborhood is known for its beaches and offers a host of things to see such as Rodadero Beach and Arrecife Shopping Center.
Comuna 2's Historic Center neighborhood is known for its beaches and restaurants, and entices visitors with attractions including Parque de los Novios and Santa Marta Theater.
Whether you want to collect beach glass or watch the sunset, Rodadero Beach is a spot you might want to check out when visiting central Puerto de Gaira. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Blanca Beach, Santa Marta Beach, and Bello Horizonte Beach.
If you like quiet time surrounded by flowers and greenery, hang out at Parque de los Novios in Historic Center. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Simón Bolivar Park and Camellón Rodrigo de Bastidas Park, both a short walk away.
Take the kids to visit the sea creatures at Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum during your trip to Santa Marta. While you're in the area, stroll along the beautiful beaches.
Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Blue Well during your travels in Minca. While you're in the area, stroll along the beautiful beaches.
Bask on golden beaches where the Sierra Nevada mountains dramatically plunge into the Caribbean Sea. Explore the lush rainforests of Tayrona National Park, spotting monkeys and toucans in the canopy.
I recommend visiting El Rodadero for a couple of nights and experience this beach town. Restaurants, entertainment, shopping but, two nights is enough there. Be sure to to do BK restaurant for great food and a beautiful sunset.

Don't venture alone past the Cathedral and ask your hotels for recommendations. Take Uber if you need to go further, it's fast, efficient and safe.
