Older hotel with a great location. They've done a good job of keeping it updated. Not a luxury stay, but good enough if you want a central location on the beach with amazing views. I was on the top floor and had floor to ceiling ocean view, as the entire wall facing the ocean is a giant window. Staff is very nice. I will say it took 40 minutes to check in, which was both strange and frustrating. Other than that, we had a nice stay here.

Very nice people

Well maintained. However, nothing compare with the pictures online/website.

It was a great experience the personal was very helpful and the breakfast was so really great and has good commodities

Suites balcony view spectacular and plenty of room, very big room. Just the decoration room too simple. However, over all it was good.

Pool

Great place but the beach was closed for some volleyball games so it made it impossible to get to a clean beach.

Great location. Right next to the beach and plenty of restaurants. Hot water in the shower

I never felt that my belongings were safe in the room. Rooms are plain and boring. Some staff were rude and others were very helpfull. They offered insurance against theft. My responce to them was tell your staff not to steal my stuff. The beach outside is dirty and plagued with barkers, peddlers and thiefs. Someone bothers you ever 30 seconds for you to buy something.

The hotel is very nice and the pool is very relaxing and beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like was we got the old room with the old furniture and the view to beach was attached with the garbage container. I saw my other friends room and it was a nice room. So I believe is luck. But the people and service is good.

Tired-looking older hotel, but well-maintained and fully functional. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner buffets were decent, but not particularly tasty. The large and clean pool was the best part, especially helpful because the sun gets especially hot here, and you burn easily. The one big issue was the beach scene just beyond the hotel. The hotel itself only provides a few white tent cabanas, which were full when we got there. In front of the hotel cabanas were a bunch of blue cabanas for rent, but they wanted $50k, and seemed to get upset when we declined it. Lots of overly persistent hawkers, selling trips and experiences, who were unwilling to take no for an answer. The beach itself is non-descript with a small cordoned-off swimming area and lots of people swimming. You're better off going to beaches in the Parque Tayrona or further East, where the beaches are spectacular. P.s. if you're planning to visit Parque Tayrona, check carefully if its open. Its closed for maintenance a few weeks a year, which may change from year-to-year.

The food is not good here. It’s very disappointing because it’s a beautiful place with a great location. I tried the dinner buffet one night but it was dry and over cooked fish and really not a lot of choice. I decided to order lunch off the regular menu, I had a quinoa salad with shrimp that gave me good poisoning and took 2days to recover

Fantastic experience!!! Loved the all of the staff who were very helpful and friendly to 2 Americans with limited Spanish, especially the bar tenders who always wanted to make you laugh and smile while teaching about were they are from and their families. Perfect vacation wouldn’t change anything about our decision to stay at Tamaca.

The property didn’t recognize gold status. Didn’t get any benefits. The pool has too limited shade area. To go to beach. It can take a while before they unlock the gate to go in and out. The breakfast buffet has few options. And you can’t leave the table with food to get more as the birds will swoop in. The location is great. On the beach. Close to many restaurants. A mall. And shopping areas. This place could be great to stay if just a few changes.

Great

Super cómodo, limpio, accesible a la playa, atentos u fresco.

Clean beach on property near all tourist venues will definitely go back

Me encanta el Tamaca y siempre estoy allá

The Hotel and staff was amazing The breakfast was good I Will recommended Thanks

.

Nice property

great hotel staff was very professional helpfull

This was my third time in the Hotel. The previous two are outstanding. This third one, FIRST TIME, that I did not get VIP treatment. The Internet was just garbage.

Great location but birds eat your food when you are no looking and cats run around lose and created destruction with some of the tables also the hotel tents are giving are just a few and the locals get preference with first come first serve , that doesn't work in a place like this. You get there early but someone gets there and with leaving a towel on a chair is already taken and most of the time those people desapear for hours .

me gusto que tiene su playa privada

The rodadero beach wasn't as I expected it was not to clean there weren't even garbage 🗑️ cans so people would through Garbage on the sand bottles flootin in the beach and the worst of all the vendors in the beach my God they would not leave you alone to enjoy the beach would not go back

The stay and location is awesome off the beach. The only false was the balcony is very small

This is our go to place while in Santa Marta. Private beach with shade tents, great service, clean rooms, good food. Right next door there is a Spa where you can get a really cheap massage, pedicure, etc. (US). Highly recommend.

The pro of the hotel is that is beach front and nearby restaurants. However, the beach front is very crowded without any hotel service and the neighboorhod is also busy with lots of constructions. Hotel is overpriced and old, for almost the same price you have a much better hotel in praia dormida where the beach is much better and the hotel 10x better

Older hotel but very clean and kept up not nicely. Wish the balcony were bigger; too narrow to sit down out there and enjoy the view, you can only stand

The staff was excellent but the room was very outdated. What we paid for the room with ocean view with a balcony was misleading as the photos of the room were beautiful but what we actually got was not....the room was very run down with broken dresser drawers that smelled musty, the mattresses were hard as rock and the balcony was so small that you could barely stand on it. Not what we paid for!

Direct beach access
