Santa Marta Hotel Guide - Buritaca Beach hotels in Santa Marta, Colombia.

"Awesome breakfast and staff. All needs met."

"Barlovento is a gem near Tayrona. One almost doesn’t need to leave the property to get the real jungle beach experience. However, it is a perfect home base for your adventure. The accommodations are very comfortable and quiet. Just watch out for the “no see ums” insects that get through the mosquito nets in the cabana, but this is true everywhere. Also the ocean is very loud at the cabana but earplugs make it more of a soothing background noise. Overall one of my favorite places to visit and relax."

"We loved this place. Unbelievably wonderful energy. Rooms were beautifully decorated. The grounds were perfectly cared for. Really kind hospitality from every staff member. Food was absolutely incredible. Allowed us to store our luggage while hiking Tayrona and come back and shower in their wondrous outdoor shower. Highly recommend."

"Amazing place to stay at a reasonable price. The hotel is beautiful place, the private cabins are superb, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful."

"So the pool, the property, restaurant, bathrooms and the staff were great. Theres free drinking water onsite. I spent a lot of time researching places to stay near Tayrona and this extra information might be of use for you when deciding where is best. Bohemia is pretty isolated along with the other hostels near it. It's about 2-3k kilometers off the main road, so if you want to buy your own food, go to a pharmacy or take the bus someplace you'll either need to walk 40minutes or pay for a motor taxi. Or you could walk about 40minutes on the sandy beach to towns on either side of the hostel. The neighboring hostels are about a 10minute walk. Organized tours are roughly $100 a person to hike Tayrona. Or you could take a motor taxi to the main road then a bus and an entrance fee. The Indigeous village tour was really interesting, it's pretty remote tucked away in the sierra nevada mountains. Breakfast is not free and starts at about $6 a meal or could be less if you order a la cart. 2 of my family members got an upset stomach I'm not sure if it was from the salads, ice or another random thing. Lunch and dinner are at least $10 a meal. They have rotating evening activities to build community like kareokee, volleyball, bingo, name that tune, swimming. Also people can easily coordinate outings to music events and dance parties at other hostels. We slept great and the hostel was peaceful but for a family of 5 it was remote to get food and expensive to eat at the restaurant. "

"We had a great stay at Yachay. The staff is very caring. The food at the restaurant is absolutely delicious. The hotel is surrounded by nature and therefore very relaxing. I wished there was a larger pool but we appreciated the jacuzzi and made good use of it. The hotel is very close to the entrance of the park but has some steep stairs, therefore not for people with mobility issues. You have to get tickets for the park as the hotel is inside the park. Entrance to the park is only until 3 pm so you need to plan for that. The room we got was nice, there is no TV, but not a big deal for us. A/C worked fine except for one night when it turned off due to issues with the power grid in general, it went back up eventually. The room was cool enough with open windows alone though. Bed was confortable and the room was very clean. We had a car and were able to park in the hotel and just drive to the beginning of the trail to the beach in early morning which was very convenient. I would definitely come back when visiting Parque Tayrona."

"This is the loveliest place I’ve ever stayed at. The hotel is beautiful, the views are stunning and the staff is incredible. Everything was very clean and organized. "

"Yes! The qedding was at the national park. The pool and poolside bar were amazing! "

"The hotel and the rooms are very beautiful, and it’s a great place for a relaxing “beach and pool” vacation. We stayed in a villa with a private pool, which was very nice. The cleanliness was reasonable, but we had to ask several times before the room was properly cleaned. The food is average. The breakfast is quite basic and the prices are high. The same applies to most food products in the area. If you plan to cook during your stay, it’s recommended to bring groceries from the city in advance."
