Apto. Marina Santa Marta

DWayneRating, 5 stars1 week ago

I had a great stay. It was only for one night but I enjoyed. It's a small studio with an amazing view. I took some great sunset photos and videos. The apartment was still being cleaned when I arrived, but the host gave me a tour of the building, and he kept me company until the room was ready. The only small issue, I believe there was no microwave there when I stayed. The place was worth the amount though. Not the host's fault, but the building security needs to invest in better quality wristbands, or at least switch to all white bands. They expect people to wear it the entire stay, and shower with that deep blue ink paper around your wrist that will bleed into your skin/clothes/towel when you sweat and/or shower. It's scorching hot in Santa Marta, and people sweat. Some people don't want the dye chemicals from that paper going into their pores. The female guard was nice, but she seemed surprised when I checked out and I had already removed the band that she was attempting to take.
