Good hotel to stay when passing through Santa Marta and wanting to stay at Rodadero's busy beach with its Miami-esque buildings and 24/7 party atmosphere. The Tamaca is very retro, but good location near the airport. Would rather stay there than at the mega-resorts of Zuana and Irotama. Must improve breakfast quality!

The Hotel Tamacá has it downsides, but if you're going to stay in Santa Marta it is worth a look. The hotel is located in El Rodadero a suburb of Santa Marta. Rodadero is a tourist area (Colombian Tourists) so there are plenty of good (some great) restaurants within walking distance. Although I can't disagree with some of the postings... More

The staff at Tamaca Beach resort were very friendly and accommodating. However, for the price (food and drinks as well) it could have been better. Overall we had a very nice time and the location here is great. Right on the beach with convenient access to shops and restaurants down the way within walking distance. The hotel has an open... More

Being practically a 'local' choosing this one was really a big mistake. The rooms are clean and well appointed although not luxurious. The pillows are so big you could sleep whilst sitting. Definitely not a place for relaxation. My friends and I wanted to sleep and hang out in the room but couldn't watch television or even talk to each... More

I stayed at Hotel Tamaca with my wife on our honeymoon in Colombia in mid-September. Overall, the stay was pleasant but there are some serious drawbacks about the hotel that anyone considering it should know about. A breakdown: Rooms: clean but spartan. For upwards of $150 per night during low season, we were expecting a bit more. There's a flat-screen... More

We are just back from a three day weekend at the Tamaca. I was worried about the construction noise from previous Trip Advisor posts. True the 5th floor is under major construction, but we did not hear any construction noise over the weekend. Maybe during the week, it is different. I would definitely go back to this hotel. Staff is... More

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, it's more a motel than a hotel, I have stayed in motels travelling in the US that are much better than this lousy hotel, and you pay for at least a 3 to 4 stars in the US, it's pathetic! what a joke, don't ever stay in this place, I... More

I've travelled around the world, staying at all sorts of hotels, from 5 star to no star, and this is the first time I've written a review with a complaint. The hotel has 5 floors with 18 rooms on each floor. The 2nd and third floors have been remodelled and are nice. We stayed on the fourth floor which is... More
