A September 2000 trip to Santa Marta by Metayel
Quote: A little bit of EVERYTHING on the Caribbean Coast!
Overview
Hotel
The kitchen can sometimes be used if asked nicely, the Internet is slow and expensive and it''s better to go to one of the near by Internet Cafes. The dining room is a nice place to hang out, and the Seniora makes great breakfast.
The Senora at the desk is very helpful and the luggage guarding service is good to have and trustworthy.

Residencial Familiar C10 No 2-14 Santa Marta, Colombia
The hotel is run by the same guy who owns the store right beside. There is a courtyard for drying laundry. The only thing lacking is a proper common room to hang out in and a kitchen for those who prefer cooking.

Hotel Titanic C10 Santa Marta, Colombia
Hotel | "Miramar"
The rooms are small, stuffy and dirty and the food overpriced....
No matter what everyone might say about the Miramar or its prices, after checking it out, try going to Titanic or Famlier and decide for yourself!

Hotel Miramar 10c no. 1c-59 Santa Marta, Colombia
Restaurant
Very very good chicken breast, and excellent Spaghetti. It does take them a while to make the food, so ordering and coming back in 10 minutes sometimes is a good idea.
Welcome! C10, 2nd block Santa Marta, Colombia
The fruits are very fresh. Blanca and Rueben will advise you on what they think you might like. Open until late, and a free pool table if you would like to hang around and play some pool.
Right in between the first and 2nd blocks on C10 (the hotel area.)
I spent HOURS there!!!
Fruit Juice!! C10 Santa Marta, Colombia
Attraction
You WILL get wet, and you WILL stay wet... there is no point in drying your clothes at night, and pack all your things in plastic since your pack has a high chance of getting wet awell.
Amazing and special flora on the way, some fauna, some local Indians all make this for a very special trip!
Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City) Tour leaves from the Miramar Hotel Santa Marta, Colombia
Attraction | "Park Tayrona"
There are virtually no facilities and the deeper in you go, the less there are, but the better the beach and the less people around it.
Food is rather expensive here so you are better bringing as much as possible, but beware it is at least a 40 minute hike from the road to the nearest camp.
The swimming isn't very good is most areas, but some gulfs like pools can be found deeper into the beach.
The best baked bread I've had in my life can be found here-- baked with chocolate, coconut, banana and more.
You can hike to Pueblito which is a smaller version of the Lost City, but it is not advisable unless you aren't planning on going to the Lost City and are interested in Tayrona Culture.
