About

Hotel Sol Inn Santa Marta

Hotel Sol Inn Santa Marta sits right across from Santa Marta Beach, a short walk from the bay's restaurants, bars and boardwalk. The 23-room property keeps things simple: clean rooms, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and a terrace where guests can start the day with breakfast overlooking the water.

The hotel's position is its strongest asset. It's a 10-minute drive from Rodadero Sea Aquarium and Museum, and about a 25-minute walk to Plaza Parque Simon Bolivar. MarSol bus station is nearby, making it practical for arriving or heading out of town. Staff consistently earn high marks for helpful tips and friendly service.
