Good spot. I went here a lot while in Santa Marta. It gets good on Friday and Saturdays. The staff is pretty good but just like all of Santa Marta, they don't ever get too friendly (even if they seen you many times before). But overall, nice vibe, good place to dance / drink. DJ's are good.

Cool place! Stopped in to have drinks - which were very good. I had the Red Fruit Soda with tajin lined rim. Yum! We played a few games of dominoes supplied by the bar. Music was loud but good. Not a date place or if you're looking for 1:1 conversation. Good place for kids groups.

The best place for rocks and blues in town. Very good ambience and service. Try out the in house cocktails. They have good collection of whiskies also. My only complaint is that for snacks, nachos are the only available option. One or two more addition to snacks would be really appreciated.

It is the best bar in Santa Marta, the experience is unique, the history that takes the bar to today is spectacular, Mr. Oscar's passion in music is wonderful, without a doubt you have to go and visit. The girls who work there give 10/10 attention. There is rock n blues, pizza, nachos and tapas to share. Without a doubt thank you very much for this experience

The security guy made us pay the entrance because he saw we were not from here, but we found out by asking upstairs that it was free ! We went out with our money back, the guy didn’t even apologize. Never seen something like that, that is just taking people for stupid person, and the most disrespectful behavior. Don’t give them any more money, there are plenty of other clubs with good staff that we found after this outrageous place 🤮🤮🙅🏻‍♂️🚫

Donde Chucho Gourmet is a renowned seafood restaurant with a long-standing reputation in Santa Marta's culinary scene. The restaurant is known for its dedication to preserving authenticity, exquisite flavors, and high-quality dishes.
Excellent food, fun atmosphere and nice service. We got the Mero a las Finas Hierbas and the Chucho grande with a couple of Hierbabuena Lemonades - too delicious! The patio is really inviting with murals, a soft Caribbean breeze, shaded by beautiful big signing trees. To top it all off, we were serenated with live music in Spanish and English. Simply amazing! They even provided us with mosquito repellent.

PROS: The best Piña Colada I’ve had in my life!! Worth every penny 👏🏼👏🏼 CONS: Food is OK but not the best… pretty mediocre to be honest. Staff lacks proper training. In the outdoor seating, conversation is not possible mostly due to the loud music from dueling neighbor establishments.

If you want to come waste your time for decent food at best, then do I have a place for you! We arrived around 8pm for dinner in a group of 6 and it was the only time the server was attentive in a timely manner. We waited a good 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive along with an extra 10 minutes for the appetizer before being informed that some of our orders (lobster and certain beers) were not available. After that, all communication broke down and we waited about little over an hour for our server to tell us the food would arrive shortly, another 15 minutes. During that time I ordered a beer that the server had no knowledge of but was on the menu. I received the wrong beer. Once we received our entrees, the accompanying side plates took another 10-15 minutes to arrive. We were never asked about our meal, if we needed anything extra, and had to call out our server 30 minutes after our plates were removed to get the bill. We never received our bill and at around 10:20 we saw our server walking out of her shift with backpack and cell phone in hand. I had to furiously walk in and demand to pay my tab and ask them if this was the regular level of respect they gave to their customers. I declined to pay the service or gratuity fee, and to the concern of at least the last server, he was apologetic about the situation. As someone that has worked in hospitality for over 10 years, I understand that things can go wrong, but such a lack of communication and expectation that the customers will just deal with this when they are paying for a service is disappointing at best and disrespectful at worst. I highly suggest to anyone considering this restaurant to take this into consideration and the managers/owners of the restaurant to seriously look into the lack of customer service and communication along with huge lapses in timeliness.

Really only went for a walk along the beach as I'm staying a couple of towns over. The beach was really busy for a Monday morning, but it wasn't out of control.

El Rodadero Beach – A Maltreated Paradise El Rodadero Beach has the potential to be a true paradise. In the early morning, especially around 6am, it's absolutely breathtaking — clear waters, a stunning natural landscape, and the peaceful backdrop of surrounding mountains. At that hour, it feels untouched and serene, the kind of place that makes you pause in awe. But sadly, that beauty is short-lived. As the day progresses, the beach becomes crowded — not just with locals and tourists, but also a high number of street vendors offering everything from food and souvenirs to water activities and tours. While a vibrant atmosphere can be part of the charm in some destinations, here the issue goes deeper. The real disappointment is how the environment is treated. Trash is often thrown directly into the sea and onto the sand, much of it coming from vendors, visitors and locals alike. Within just a few hours, the beach can go from pristine to polluted, losing much of the magic it offered at sunrise. It’s heartbreaking to see such a naturally beautiful place degraded by neglect and lack of care. El Rodadero could be a gem — and still is, if you catch it at the right time — but it desperately needs better environmental stewardship and respect from both locals and visitors. The sunrise could be stunning as well if you can find a decent and clean spot.
Eric O — Google review
Definitely the better beach than the one at Santa Marta. Longer stretch of sand with more beach facilities. Only issue is trying to lay on the beach in peace and quiet without having vendors poking at you.

Unfortunately a very, very dirty beach with loads of plastic everywhere and a strong smell of rotting fish and urine. The atmosphere of people laughing and partying is very nice, but it is ruined by the sheer amount of people trying to sell you everything under the sun, more than I’ve ever seen.

Unfortunately this time around, I have found the Rodadero very dirty: the beach and sea was, generally, with a lot of trash, in particular plastic. I do understand that with Santa Marta festival they had extra tourist, still, this is not acceptable. Please, clean the beaches and add extra trash cans so the people don't have to walk miles to dispose rubbish.

Terrible experience! They require a minimum of 500,000 pesos to get a table. We had already spent 250,000 and asked for a room, but they told us the amount we had already spent didn’t count toward the minimum. We were a group of 10, and they refused to accommodate us because they said the VIP limit was 8 people—even though the place wasn’t even full. The service was awful, and the waiters were extremely rude. Honestly, if you’re looking for good service and a welcoming atmosphere, this is not the place. Definitely not recommended.

Unfortunately we missed the famous rooftop parties. On Monday and Tuesday only the 2nd-floor bar is open — almost no people around, but the music is blasted so loud you can’t even have a conversation. If your goal is to go deaf, highly recommended. Otherwise, only bother staying here if there’s a rooftop party you actually want to attend.

Be warned, they tell you on arrival that it is a party hostel...And basically use that as an excuse to dismiss any of your issues because of the loud music. There's a difference between a party hostel, where you can party if you want, versus this which is obligatory and you will get zero sleep because of the volume. Note...on their booking websites it does not mention the night music aspect at all. So it's a complete bait and switch, taking your booking then not wanting to refund you if you can't sleep. Loud music shakes the entire building all night long until 2:30am...even on week days. And if you think you are going to recover from that partying by taking a nap during the day...hah, you wish. It's literally impossible to sleep here, day or night. They moved me to their building next door, telling me it would be more quiet. It was quiet for the first night over there, and immediately the next night the music was so loud I could not sleep. If you genuinely plan on staying awake until 4:00 a.m. every night, and like partying and clubbing every night...great. But if you expect to actually sleep in this hostel, or even want to take one day off of the partying, too bad.
Graham A — Google review
Definitely one of the worst hostels I have visited in my life. - I get that it is a party hostal, but a bit (basic) of sound isolation for the rooms, which is where people want to rest (in case it's not clear enough) would be appreciated. - After not being able to sleep until the Karaoke night was done, I accidentally left my charger connected to the bed's socket (upper bunk bed in a 4 bed room). I asked them to save it for me since I had another reservation two days later, but they replied with a negative + 'that's what happens when you sleep next to strangers' message.

Fantastic food and quick and courteous service! As others have said, the food and smoothie options were very healthy and I came away feeling full in a good way. We also received complimentary (and delicious) starter soup and dessert with a four person order.

Really delicious food, tons of vegan and vegetarian options, the cocktails are pretty good, and the location is unbeatable. The only downside is that there are a lot of people asking for money right outside the door, so outdoor sitting is not comfortable for dinner, since they don’t leave you alone. It’s better to eat inside.

Well located in one of the busiest and touristic street of the city centre. Food is good, not exceptional though. Servings are quite generous. Service is great, smiling, pro, efficient. The only thing with the busy street is that you get annoyed by lot of ppl who are asking for money, or playing music. I would still recommend the place for a quick dinner.

Cool atmosphere, friendly staff who kept the street performers from bugging me while I ate, which I definitely appreciated. The portions are huge here so keep that in mind when ordering. I had the traditional ceviche and seafood soup. Their mojitos were pretty good too. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and phenomenal service. What more could you ask for?

LamArt is definitely one of the best restaurants in the centre of Santa Marta and located in the main spot for restaurants and bars. We had the tropical ceviche (fish and octopus with fresh mango) and black rice with shrimps. The taste of both dishes was excellent and also the service was outstanding. I can also recommend the cocktails (especially during happy hour: 2x for COP 30.000 😎) which are also way better than the average you will find in Santa Marta.

Mediterranean restaurant
Bar & grill
Located in Parque de los Novios, Ouzo Santa Marta offers a sophisticated Mediterranean dining experience with a fusion of Greek flavors and local influences. The restaurant provides a relaxed yet elegant ambiance, making it an ideal spot to savor dishes like stuffed squid and moussaka paired with a thoughtfully curated wine selection. Additionally, visitors can enjoy live music outside the restaurant and explore nearby bars for a vibrant nightlife experience.
Last night, my partner and I visited this restaurant after reading numerous positive reviews. We made an online reservation and were promptly seated at 9:30 p.m. We decided to order all the seafood starters, and most of them were delicious. The octopus, mussels, and calamari were particularly tasty. However, I found the smoked salmon a bit underwhelming. Overall, everything was enjoyable. The service was excellent, and our hostess even came to check on us twice, which was appreciated. I’m looking forward to returning to Santa Marta and trying some of their other menu offerings.

Mixed but Promising Greek Dining Experience My recent meal at Ouzo Restaurant had its highs and lows. Some dishes impressed, while others fell slightly short. The Greek salad was fresh and well-composed, with crisp vegetables and creamy feta, but it missed the sharp, tangy punch of vinegar that would have elevated it. Similarly, the tzatziki sauce was creamy and refreshing, though a brighter touch of lemon would have given it that perfect zest. On the stronger side, the medium-rare steak was cooked flawlessly juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. The grilled shrimp also stood out, packed with smoky, garlicky flavor. Unfortunately, the surf and turf shrimp didn’t deliver the same impact; the shrimp were slightly overcooked and underseasoned, leaving the dish (shrimp) a bit bland. Despite a few misses, Ouzo shows promise with its highlights. For now, it earns a solid 3.8/5 worth a visit, especially if you stick to their standout dishes.

Nice bar. Had to come check it out because of the reviews. Very nice feel with the music and the open atmosphere. The only negative thing is that every 45 seconds someone is begging you for money. And while it broke my heart each time someone would come and ask for money, it's very hard to relax and enjoy a drink that way. You have to always stay alert and that is very annoying. It's like they know it's a tourist spot. Not the bar's fault though and I pray this changes.

A cozy and romantic restaurant overlooking the ocean in modern Rodadero district, Burukuka offers delicious and expensive Colombian and Caribbean food at night before young and attractive people from the city show up for dancing all night. A shared post by Burukuka Restaurant Bar on 16 November 2017 at 4:54am mentions that this place is great for Wednesday nights when food costs 650 pesos (about $25) including drinks.
This place is great! They probably have the best view of Rodadero. Just coming here for the pictures makes it worth it. The food we got was delicious and the service was good (which is not common in Santa Marta). We enjoyed being here and having a good time with the family. The music could have been a little less loud in order to have a great time. I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful Views, Average Experience The standout feature of this restaurant is definitely the 180-degree view of El Rodadero Beach. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or meal while taking in a stunning sunset — the view alone is worth the visit. That said, the food was fairly average, and the service didn’t particularly stand out. There is a lively atmosphere, thanks to a DJ playing electro-Caribbean mixes, which adds a nice local vibe to the experience. Overall, it’s a great place to go for the view and a relaxed drink, but if you're looking for exceptional food or service, you might want to temper your expectations.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The place has spectacular views of Rodadero and is perfect for watching the beautiful sunsets that Santa Marta offers. I had the Orange Sunset drink, a mix of aguardiente, vodka, and maracuyá. It was delicious and refreshing. The music was right up my alley—loungy, relaxed, and great for chatting while enjoying the open air. We ordered an appetizer, which was good. However, the service was horrible, so keep that in mind. It took forever to place our order and even longer to pay. All in all, it’s a great spot with amazing views and a tasty menu. Definitely worth a visit, and I will return.

Given the elevated price point, the dishes do not quite justify the cost. The blue cheese sauce overwhelms the flavor of the meat, masking its natural character rather than complementing it. The sushi, on the other hand, was fresh and flavorful, though the presentation lacked artistry. A minimalist approach—true to the spirit of sushi—would have elevated the experience. The ceviche sauce bears resemblance to Leche de Tigre from Peru, which I appreciated. However, the preparation fell short: the fish was not marinated but instead served fresh atop the sauce. This makes it difficult to consider it a true ceviche; “fresh fish with BK sauce” would be a more honest description. On a brighter note, the view is spectacular, and the service was warm and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience.

The place has a very good ambience. The beers are good and the flavors are nice. However some flavors such as the one made with salmon was not cooked well. To start off with, we were in a group and every item except the one from salmon was delivered on time. However this was delayed and most likely they forgot the order and didn't do much to compensate the delay. Overall, some menu items are well served than the others. Ambience is good and pricey items do not mean better tasting food.

We went for dinner on a Thursday evening. The food was ok but the service was not good… we waited for almost an hour to get our dishes. Other tables who arrived later than us got their food earlier which seems like that if you order chicken wings it would be quick but if you order dinner dishes it will just take forever. We also had to ask twice for the check because the first time the waiter simply just forgot about it after multitasking. To be fair they have more than enough waiters for the amount of tables they have and I feel they just need to pay more attention to the needs of their customers rather than chilling at work.

Bar
Perched atop the iconic La Brisa Loca hostel, La Terraza has become a beloved gathering spot for both tourists and locals over the past seven years. This rooftop bar offers breathtaking views of Santa Marta's bay, making it an ideal place to unwind with a cold drink while soaking in stunning sunsets. The menu features delicious dishes that are sure to please any palate, complemented by top-notch service that makes every guest feel like royalty.
(Translated by Google) It is a place with a spectacular view of the bay, for sure, the dishes are very very good, delicious, the service is 1A first class, there is outdoor space or air conditioning, you can access it by elevator, they treat us like kings, spending an afternoon with a cold beer watching the sunset is another of the pleasures they offer, I recommend it, (Original) Es un lugar con una vista espectacular de la bahía, seguro, los platos son muy muy buenos, deliciosos, la atención es 1A de primera, hay espacio al aire libre o aire acondicionado, se puede acceder por ascensor, nos tratan como reyes, pasar una tarde con cerveza bien fria viendo el atardecer es otro de los placeres que ofrecen, lo recomiendo,

(Translated by Google) It is a bar - discotheque. It has 3 good ventilation viewpoints. Cocktails and beer.

Bar
When in Santa Marta, make sure to stop by Ouzo restaurant located at Parque de Los Novios for a delightful dining experience and refreshing drinks. The lively atmosphere is complemented by live music, creating an animated ambiance both inside the restaurant and in the neighboring bars. Visitors have praised the delicious food, particularly the generous portions of pizza and fresh salads. However, some have noted that there may be a nuisance of flies in the area.
(Translated by Google) We loved it! The food is very delicious, abundant pizza, fresh salad. It's just annoying that there are a lot of flies, like everywhere. So I recommend!!! (Original) Nos encantó! La comida es muy rica, pizza abundante, ensalada fresca. Solo es molesto que hay muchas moscas, como en todos lados. Así que recomiendo!!!
