Del Mar Hotel

I have been staying at this hotel for several years. I was always treated very good. That´s why I have never been to another hotel in Santa Marta/ El Rodadero. I can recommend it. Very good location close to the El Rodadero Beach. Good breakfast with nice service (ask for what you may not see), the local Cayeye on Wednesdays is highlight. A friendly reception. A very good room service. Nice rooms with a very good air condition. Supermarkets and the bus to Santa Marta are very close.

I wasnt a fan of Rodadero, but in terms of this Hotels location in the area it was great. Close to everything and the beach. The pool was nice, breakfast was decent, as expected. The room was great with good windows and blinds, a nice bathroom and shower and a comfortable bed.

The area was a little noisy, but i suppose thats just Rodadero. Nothing wrong with the hotel, if i ever need to return to Rodadero i would choose this hotel again.

Their pillows are super comfortable and I think there were like 3 different types! even the matress was not bad. Bathroom is nice but dont count on shower gel, you will only get a soap (why?!?). AC (at least in the room 506) is well located so it doesnt blow directly in your face, but it still blows over the bed. But for 40€/night (what i paid) this is a very decent place, thats why a general score is quite high.

pool is not really useful, its in the first floor, fully encircled by the wall and no bar, nothing. when i was there it was loud and full of kids. i am a DN, so i had to work, but dont count on wifi, ita slow and useless most of the day, late at night (after midnight) it gets decent. breakfast is very basic, my eggs were dry and overdone, coffee was probably the worst I got in Colombia. There is absolutely no way to smoke anywhere inside, you need to go to the street.

Great central location at Rodadero Beach two blocks off the water. Congenial Staff the breakfast staff in particular two days in row people had birthdays and the staff came out with balloons and sang Feliz Cumpleanos. A great way to start your day. Breakfast had yummy arepas con queso. Pool was clear everything was spic and span. Second stay here and more impressed each stay

Shower was a little chilly one morning but I got up late

The hotel is one block from the beach in a very safe area half a block from a police station. I was greeted promptly after I left my taxi and the person working the front door brought my bags up the stairs before I had a chance to do it myself. Lots of useful shops and delicious restaurants around

The mattress was kind of hard but after a day in Santa Marta you are too tired to notice

The staff were friendly. The room was spotless. The pool was lovely! Good selection for breakfast. 5 min walk to beach and surrounded by restaurants and shops. Security on the door.

There was only 5 deck chairs around the pool which was ridiculous especially for a hotel of this size. These were taken early in the day and people had to sit in chairs instead.

What stood out to me most was how accommodating and friendly the staff were. They went above and beyond to help my friend and me when we were having trouble booking flights, they allowed us to extend our stay, always brought us anything for the room we needed. Super positive experience here!

Honestly nothing.

The breakfast included in our stay was really great and the waitstaff was really nice. The WIFI in our room was also really strong and we had a nice desk area. The water in the shower was strong and heated quickly. The pool area was also nice.

Our room was right on the street and was incredibly loud (Friday night). I'm guessing it would have been quieter in a more internally located room. However, when we called the hotel to complain, they told us that they would speak with the local police to see if there was something they could do about the noise. I have no idea if they actually did, but the noise died down substantially afterwards and we were able to sleep well.

The views are great, the hotel is clean and organized, and the breakfast always has something a bit different and interesting to try.

The noise from the street is a bit loud but that's to be expected in this area of the city.

Top-notch customer service and attention to details all around, from the desk to the room service/cleaning to additional needs and requests. Sincere congratulations.

Breakfast was okay but not great. Service was fantastic but food could be improved.
