My wife and I arrived at Santa Marta without any reservations, trusting in our luck and in the people's comments about good prices and high availabilty of hotels in Santa Marta. Well, we didn't have that luck and we chose another hotel in Rodadero. It was so bad that we did the check out at 7 am, and we went to Palma Blanca hotel. What a change! The welcoming was very nice: a typical colombian breakfast very delicious. Although the hotel is small, the room has plenty of space, and the bed was a comfortable queen bed. The balcony had hammocks, that we used to enjoy the sea breeze. We enjoyed the pool every afternoon. Excellent hotel. I recommend it.
