Magdalena Hotels

What an amazing hotspot in Santa Marta! If you’re looking for an adults-only getaway with top-notch service, this place is a must.

We were very happy w our stay and highly recommend this lovely, little hotel.

We come to the beach bar at Estelar often, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is consistently outstanding.

Everything was great. You can tell the employees are treated very well by management here because they are all so good and so friendly. Rooms are large but a little bit older.

Most stunning location, surrounded by nature and picturesque views. Food was the best we’ve had in Colombia so far. Rooms are clean, and spacious.

Very nice place to stay.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
We were in room 4 which was in the basement. The sewage pipe from the upper floor could be heard very clearly.

I stayed here for one night on arrival to the north coast. The hotel it's self is nice, the room was big, clean and had a lovely shower.

Thank you so much for the beautiful days in Santa Marta! The team at the reception and in the restaurant was very friendly, they helped us in every belonging.

We stayed one day at Senda Koguiewa and 2 days at Senda Watapuy and had a wonderful stay.

A magical place surrounded by tropical colourful plants with a backdrop of mountains and tropical forest. Extremely restful and tranquil.

My wife and I went to Villa María for a day trip while staying at its sister hotel in Santa Marta.

My friend and I stayed in one of the rooms with a private bathroom and balcony. The bed has a Moskito net and the bathroom was open with a view into the garden and even to a peak of the ocean.

Dairo, Tatiana and their staff made sure this was an unforgettable experience, with comfortable and clean rooms and some excellent breakfast (even to take away for our early flight home) and dinner

Ecohotel Yachay Tayrona is the perfect, affordable spot right inside the entrance to Parque Tayrona (El Zaino). Located in the jungle, you wake up to howler monkeys and birds every morning.

We had absolutely the best time at Vito Hotel. Laura and her mother are lovely hosts and made sure we were very comfortable and our plans were well figured out.

I went to Taganga for diving and spend 8 nights at Vito's. Laura and Servilia offer a warm and friendly welcome and a personal treatment. The rooms are clean and spacious.

A very charming hotel with great attention to beautiful details throughout the property.

Exceptional; serene and natural. Manuel and his team consisting of Sandra, Dilia, Blanca, María, Sindy, Yilmer and Yari, thanks for the great experience.

We had the best experience at Zuana Beach Resort! The entire property was impeccably clean, and the staff truly made our stay special.

It was a marvelous experience in that hotel, the service of each employees it was amazing! … 10/10, beaches and pools clean, excellent mainteneins and restaurants, the food is really expectacular.

(Stayed August 19–22, 2025, Family Vacation)
We stayed at this hotel for a family vacation and had a wonderful experience overall. The hotel is small, which gave it a cozy and welcoming feel.

We were picked up by the hotel van at the airport, and it was a very quick ride to the hotel.

I have stayed a lot of hotels/suites in my life but here is amazing. Best experience I had ever. I went there during 500th celebration days of Santa Marta with my fiancé. Would recommend.

A great front desk customer service team, the host of apartment was great, this place gives a great view to the Caribbean Sea and mountains. Santa Marta is a beautiful place to visit.

We didn't want to leave this hotel after our recent stay!

Awesome place! An urban oasis! Truly and highly recommend it to anyone planning to travel to Santa Marta.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best Senda Yet!
I’ve stayed at several Senda hotels near Tayrona and have always loved them, but Senda Kokkos Beach is by far my favorite.

We had a lovely stay here.

I have stayed in many good hotels, but the service at this one was absolutely outstanding. Andrés in particular made our stay perfect.

Santa Marta has many huge towering modern hotels but if you want to experience a smaller more intimate place then this wonderful historical architectural gem of a hotel is the perfect small cosy

The staff was incredibly nice, friendly and helpful. The hotel was very pretty and fit perfectly into historic downtown Santa Marta.

The hotel is very nice and well located. The service is top notch! Front desk (Ariana and Josue) were very kind from the very beginning, as were the staff from the kitchen.

★★★★★ — Perfect Stay.
Our experience at Chunu was simply spectacular. From check-in to check-out, the service was impeccable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile.

Chunu’u is an amazing hotel! This hostel is super conveniently located right in Santa Marta and the receptionists will assist you with booking any activities.

Stayed 2 nights and I can say that service was great, the hotel staff was very helpful and supportive. The room was clean and colorful. Breakfast was delicious.

Great and very friendly staff. Very modern and large rooms. Breakfast was very good (including one big fruit plate and eggs, tomatoes, avocado and toast). Thanks to Hugo and the team!

Love it, very close to the beach, everything you need is all around: restaurants, amazing stores for shopping clothes, and much especially delicious coffee! Four minutes walking to the beach!

The staff was super friendly and we felt very welcome.
We loved the room and the rooftop.
The hotel design is full of good taste.
The breakfast was simple but with good quality and flavour.

We had an amazing time at La Mar de bien. The owners Sergio and Diana are very welcoming. Service and care was also 10/10.

We had a wonderful New Year vacation at la Mar de Bien: atmosphere, design, food and the team — all at the highest level. It’s a perfect location if you want to escape to a paradise.

​If you are looking for the true definition of an ecolodge, Playa Pikua is it. It manages to offer an authentic, sustainable experience without sacrificing comfort or charm.

Staying in a cabin at Casa Pikua was a fantastic experience! Our cabin was gorgeous and comfortable. The location on the beach can’t be beat. It’s very quiet and surrounded by nature.

El Dorado is amazing. The hiking trails are excellent, the lodge is beautiful and the staff are superb. It is a very good experience! The lodge arranges excellent bird guides too!

This place is gorgeous. The views are spectacular. We spent two nights. The accommodations overlook the mountains. They have several trails that are wonderful for birdwatching.

"Everything and everyone was Excellent! The staff was great especially Marcela at front desk and Jossefer at the pool.

This Marriott resort provided us with one of the best experiences. The property is at the beach, and the water was warm when we visited in December during the year end holidays.
