Loved this place. Simple and more than you expect for what you pay. Nice little breakfast spot nearby on the beach. Service was great from the staff. You'll have to renew wifi access almost every day at the reception. Trips into Santa Marta proper are about 5 USD and 20 mins. Would come back here. Cheers.

The location is great! Staff were mostly friendly but check-in was slow. Rooms were clean. The rest was not so great. Rooms and equipment are not well maintained. Broken tile, broken handles on shower faucet and electrical tape fixes on iron and hair dryer. There were small ants all over the room. The worst was the noise. There is a sitting area in the middle of the rooms. This is a motel with room doors adjacent to the exterior. One group (like 30 people) sat in the adjacent common area until 230 am one night and the night before New Year’s Eve we were unable to sleep due to noise and it didn’t end until 530 am. Wish I could post photos of the poor maintenance. We would never stay here again. It’s really sad because the location is great but management clearly is not spending any money to keep the property functioning well.

Wonderful stay at TAMA hotel Santa Marta. Our room was large and comfortable with good air conditioning. The hotel is right on the beach with beautiful sunsets. Good restaurant with fresh food and good prices. Staff was kind and helpful. Not a lot of stores or restaurants close by, but easy to get taxi to shopping center. We came for a weekend and ended up staying two weeks! Muchas gracias

Tiene una buena accesibilidad a la playa con una vista hermosa, en fin es una buenas estadía para estar en la playa. Las observaciones nuestras no fueron impedimento para disfrutar de ellas.

Hotel 2 estrellas, básico.

Es un hotel dos estrellas, no ofrece mayores comodidades. El administrador es muy querido pero la verdad es un hotel muy básico, las duchas son tipo eléctricas entonces se ven los cables, no hay buena presión. Las toallas estaban manchadas entonces no me dió sensación de limpieza. En la almohada encontré pelos. La habitación que te muestran como estándar no es esa , es la estándar plus así que ojo porque le pueden dar una más sencilla a lo que cree. Realmente la estándar es muy básica y pequeña. Es un hotel que ya tiene sus año, el ascensor huele a húmedo y la llave de entrada a la habitación no servía. No ponen toalla de manos, así que me tocó pedir una adicional. Si se va a quedar una/dos noches en Santa Marta h no tiene plata. Esta es una buena opción porque el ambiente es agradable en las noches.
