Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Marta?
The best area to stay in Santa Marta is El Rodadero, a popular coastal neighbourhood known for its beaches and visitor amenities.

El Rodadero is situated along the Caribbean coast, just a short drive south of Santa Marta's city centre. It's characterised by a long stretch of golden sand beach, lined with high-rise hotels and apartments. The main thoroughfare, Carrera 1, runs parallel to the beach and is bustling with restaurants, shops, and tour operators. It's a very walkable area with everything you need within easy reach.

For families, El Rodadero is an excellent choice. The beach offers calm waters ideal for swimming, and there are plenty of activities like banana boat rides and jet skiing. Many hotels in the area feature swimming pools and family-friendly dining options. The convenience of having shops and eateries nearby makes it easy to manage meals and entertainment for everyone.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also find El Rodadero appealing. You can enjoy strolls along the beach, dine at various seafood restaurants with ocean views, and easily arrange boat trips to nearby Tayrona National Natural Park or the Rosario Islands for a day of snorkelling and exploring.
When is the best time to go to Santa Marta?
The best time to go to Santa Marta is during the dry season, which runs from December to April, offering warm, sunny weather superb for outdoor activities.

During these months, you can expect consistent sunshine and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Chiriquí Province. This period is particularly good for those looking to enjoy hiking in the cloud forests, birdwatching, or visiting coffee plantations without the interruption of daily rain showers.

For travellers looking for a peaceful escape, booking your trip in January or February can be particularly rewarding. The weather is consistently pleasant, and the initial rush of the holiday season has subsided, offering a more relaxed experience. This allows for comfortable exploration of the local trails and attractions, with clear skies superb for photography.

If you're interested in the coffee harvest, visiting between November and March aligns with the peak season for coffee production. Many local farms offer tours during this time, providing an opportunity to see the coffee-making process firsthand.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Santa Marta.
How much is the nightly rate at a Santa Marta hotel?
Prices for hotels in Santa Marta often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $38 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
