Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Marta?
The best area to stay in Santa Marta is El Rodadero, known for its beautiful beaches and convenient amenities.

El Rodadero is a lively coastal district just a short drive from Santa Marta's city centre. It's characterised by a long stretch of golden sand beach, lined with high-rise hotels, restaurants, and shops. The main avenue, Carrera 1, runs parallel to the beach and is a bustling hub of activity, especially in the evenings.

For families, El Rodadero is an excellent choice due to its calm waters and family-friendly atmosphere. The beach offers plenty of space for children to play, and there are numerous ice cream parlours and casual eateries. Many hotels in this area feature swimming pools and direct beach access, making it very convenient for a relaxing holiday with kids.

Couples looking for a mix of relaxation and entertainment will also find El Rodadero appealing. You can enjoy sunbathing and swimming during the day, and in the evenings, there are plenty of dining options ranging from seafood restaurants to international cuisine.
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.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny days and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and enjoying its beaches. Temperatures are pleasantly warm, typically ranging from 28°C to 32°C. This period is great for all travellers looking to make the most of outdoor activities.

The shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. While there might be occasional rain showers, they are usually brief, and you'll find fewer crowds and potentially better value on accommodation and flights. This can be a smart choice for those who prefer a slightly quieter experience without sacrificing good weather too much.

For those planning activities like hiking in Tayrona National Park or diving, the dry season offers the best conditions with clear skies and calm waters.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

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.

Prices for hotels in Santa Marta often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $27 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.
