Santa Marta is known for its beaches and natural parks, and entices visitors with popular attractions including Tayrona National Natural Park and Parque de los Novios.
Whether you want to collect beach glass or watch the sunset, Rodadero Beach is a spot you might want to check out when visiting central Puerto de Gaira. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Blanca Beach, Santa Marta Beach, and Bello Horizonte Beach.
If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Taganga Beach located 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from central Taganga. Catch the sunset by the shore at Genemaka Beach, just a short walk away.
Venezuela Park is just one of the places to see in Barranquilla, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? While you're in the area, find time to visit its shops.
"Amo que la terraza cierre tarde y el restaurante también si pudiera sugerir una mejora sería dejar la piscina abierta hasta las 10 o algo más tarde pero todo lo demás excelente desde la comida, a la atención, a la vista con gran ubicación. Un hotelazo. Mención honorífica a Ronald, Paula y Caleb. Muchas gracias por facilitar mi estadía y gracias a todo el personal del hotel en general! Siempre un gusto y altamente recomendado!"
"Our stay at the hotel was alright. It was three of us in the room but unfortunately everytime we recieved towels we would only be restocked with two and only provided the body towel rather than a hand towel as well. The shower in the bathroom also looked and sounded like it was about to fall off (picture attached). The pool was nice and the area is quiet but not too much to do around. The staff however created a lot of confusion when there was miscommunication about breakfast being included. We were under the impression breakfast was included in what we paid and our first day they took our room number and let us through without saying anything different. The next day however, they let us in for breakfast and only after we finished one rude hotel employee who was standing at the table where we come in for breakfast asked us to pay which then we went to speak to the front desk lady who also told us upon check in that we had breakfast included when our friend mentioned it. Unfortunately the interactions with the staff made our stay disappointing and made us wish we had booked with the regular Hilton instead."
