Mercure Santa Marta Emile
Its a short walk to the beach from the hotel and there is a private area of beach for hotel guests with umbrellas and chairs. The pool area at the hotel is also quiet, clean and well maintained. Great food options. The concierge will arrange transportation to the city or the airport. I will stay ...

Santa Marta Marriott Resort Playa Dormida
Amazing personnel. Very nice relatively small hotel (which makes it more private). Good coffee (bit overpriced), excellent rooms. I loved that I could order food when I wanted something different and that there was no fuss about this.

Un excelente hotel, muy bonito en general, habitaciones agradables y amenidades muy lindas. Puntos débiles: La piscina muy fria para los niños. No tienen Smart TV en las habitaciones. Por lo demás todo muy bien. El personal es muy amable y la comida deliciosa.
