Anyways on this upcoming trip I'll be there solo and plan on checking out the street action around parque del LOS novios and parque bolivar in the evenings and spending my days at the beach drinking beers and soaking up sunlight with intermediate dips in the cool (but not cold) ocean waters. I also want to try to fuxk some of those black costeña women that offer massages at the beaches. I saw a very doable one at playa rodadero or playa blanca or whatever (the two beaches in rodadero that are connected by a flimsy bridge) during my very first visit there.
Also I wouldn't say Santa Marta is the poorest feeling city in all of Colombia. The Venezuelan border towns feel much poorer especially Cucuta and la parada, and although I've never been I've heard and seen videos of Maicao which looks like it is probably the poorest city in all of Colombia.
Santa Marta on the other hand is a nice beach resort city that is more popular among Colombian vacationers and foreign backpackers than it is being overrun with passport bros and rich foreign tourists such as Cartagena. It's like a more laid back, less expensive, less touts bothering you (with the exception of the rodadero area) version of Cartagena.
I have fond memories of Santa Marta from my two previous visits. Great beaches, great restaurants, nice hotels, nice people, and lots of warm sunshine. Not to mention the shrimp ceviche.

I have been to Bananas several times in the past. YMWV for sure. The last few times the talent was quite dismal but did take a stunner out of there about 12 yrs ago. Other bars are regular bars up the street from Parque Novia, which is more or less behind Bananas. There are several bars but no P4P as far as I could tell.

Posts: 9First time in Santa Marta
Hello everyone,
I am planning to go to Santa Marta soon for the first time. I have read a few pages here but I am none the wiser.
I was wondering if there are clubs or bars where you can have a drink and pick up girls like you have in other cities, I heard there is such a bar in Santa Marta called Banana.
Are there any more bars or how are things going there?
Thanks in advance!!

Posts: 1Any reccomendations?
I have been in SM for a week and been struggling mongering wise. I have very basic Spanish. This is my first time in Colombia. I found some good casas in Medellin. Good quality girls and they didn't mind my lack of language! I went to Ellas Erotic 4 times in one week and had a great catch 3 out of 4 times!
Are there any good casas in SM? I have walked around Centro a fair bit and there seem to be barely any decent girls. Plus I am not sure how safe it is? Around Parque Novios, its hard to find any decent looking girls! I like my airbnb but it has a strict no guest policy. So for the street ones (even if I find a decent one), are there any good clean love hotels I could use?
Is it just me or SM a bit of a challenge from a mongering perspective?
Thanks!

However, I'll explain it again, in the hope that whatever is restricting blood flow to your brain, clears up.
A 3 bedroom, 2. 5 bath, gated, air conditioned house, with a private beach, 2 full balconies, hot tub and all the stuff needed in a house for a 3 day rental, with cleaning fee included, cost $364.
I could have rented a dinky shack without air conditioning, or a cramped hotel room for much less. However, two things come to mind:
1. I wanted a nice, private house, with a balcony, a hot tub, a view, secure parking and plenty of space.
2. I'm not on a desperately tight budget where I have to constantly consider every peso spent. Even with such unthinkable extravagance my trio came in $750 under budget.
Still confused?

Posts: 5496Weekend in Santa Marta
Date: August 18-21.
Getting there: I drove, just over 14 hours to reach the airport area, where I stayed at an Ayenda hotel, opposite side of the traffic circle from the road to the airport. Just over 12 hours for the return trip.
Companions: My girlfriend and her sister had arrived Wednesday night and were staying at a hotel close to the Marina and Parque de LOS Novios area.
Accomodations: After girls finished their final certification dives in the morning we moved to an Airbnb on the hill above Taganga. 3 bed, 2. 5 bath, 2 level house with 2 huge balconies and outdoor hot tub, great view, little private beach. Total cost $364. Air conditioning in each bedroom and living room, well equipped kitchen, locked, gated parking and security system. Guest friendly.
Weather is hot and humid. Outside the tourist areas, most of Santa Marta and Taganga are pretty trashy. Piles of garbage are common and stray dogs, along with stray dog shit, can be seen everywhere. When it rains the streets flood. Flies and other insects are a problem.
Only took 2 taxis, to and from Taganga, from the house. The 1 to Taganga was fine. The 1 back to the house claimed he had no idea where we were talking about, or how to get there, even though there's only 1 road. I had to tell him about 10 times to take the road to Santa Marta. Driving in Santa Marta sucks. Lots of narrow, one way streets with insufficient parking.
The best feature of Santa Marta, IMO is the area around Parque de LOS Novios. Restaurants to satisfy almost any palate, and lots of people. At night the temperature is bearable. Definitely worth checking out. Sorry I can't give any info on the p4 p. Ate at El Mexican and Marrakech. I'd recommend them.
Diving in Santa Marta and Taganga is pretty good. Price for a 2 tank dive, with all rental equipment was 200 k. Other shops prices vary. There had been recent heavy rain so conditions weren't ideal. Took a night dive as well for $60 each.
Took a boat trip from Taganga to Parque Tayrona. Got charged 150 k per person, plus park entrance fee, 75 k for tourists, 35 k for residents. Pretty sure I paid a hefty gringo tax. Boat takes 1 hour 20 minutes each way, unless it runs out of gas. Add 40 minutes to the return trip. Bring a cushion. My ass is still sore. Also bring plenty of water.
Beaches of Parque Tayrona are nice. Walk west from the drop off point at Cabo San Juan, take the little trail and you get to a less traveled beach. At the west end, take another little trail to get to a more secluded and nicer beach. Each trail is an easy 10 minute walk. Both of these beaches are nude beaches. There are no vendors, no touts, nothing other than surf and sand and the trees that line the beach. Where the boats drop off there's a restaurant and place that serves drinks. Food is, as expected, expensive, but decent.
Most of the drive to and from Santa Marta is the best you'll find in Colombia. From the area around Barrancabermeja to the coast on highway 45 is mostly straight and flat, with many sections of 4 lane with 100 kmh speed limits. Even before that section, there are several areas with passing lanes in the mountains. There's 1 long, 4. 2 km tunnel. There are 10 tolls to pay average around 12 k each. Beware of speed traps. I got caught by 1 and the clearly stated bribe was 500 k. Gas stations and restaurants are plentiful. Gas was cheaper in the more remote gas stations. Prices ran from 11.7 k to 14.8 k per gallon.
Cheaper and better to fly there, although having a car added some convenience. Lots of lodging and food options. I think it's worth a visit.
