We jumped in the cab and told him to find us the best club around. He asked if we wanted girls, as most nightclubs in Colombia are really just whorehouses. We said we wanted girls but not ones we pay for. He looked at us cynically and told us you always end up paying.
But we got dumped at a beautiful club that was on a manmade island in the midst of yacht clubs. The thatched roof was at least 30 feet above us, and the there were almost no walls. In the back was a second story, with a lounge. Surrounding the sides and outside on the grass we little tables. It was probably 80degrees, and the wind was gently wafting across the crowd.
It was perfect. We bought a bottle of rum, and a pail full of cokes, grabbed a table and people (girl) watched. The crowd was littered with amazingly beautiful women. There was a LOT of money in this place, and it wasn't really surprising where it all came from, being a port town in Colombia.
We plunged in, asking ladies to dance and really got into it. We had several bottles of rum between the three of us, and stayed for about six hours. A wonderful night in a wonderful club.

Taxicabs in Santa Marta are overpriced for Colombian standards, most cars are real small and are falling to pieces but most hotel clerks will still recommend them for the only reason they'll share the profits. The best bet when your hotel offers you one is to turn them down, walk to the main road in the seafront and take the next bus. Buses are all around, run as fast as any cab, will stop wherever you ask it for and cost ten times less than a taxi. You got to say where you’re going before you hop in as they’ll change the itinerary according to each passenger destination. Buses also seem to be safer as everyone in Santa Marta is always racing at full speed and car crashes do happen. Close
