Amazing stay in Santa Marta. Placita Viega hotel is located right in the center of town at the parque de los novios. It is a walkable distance away from all of the best restaurants, clubs, and bars. The area is always full of people and very safe. It is also a 5 minute walk from Santa Marta beach.

Presidential Suite
Very clean and spacious. I stayed in the Presidential Suite, which has a large patio and beautiful view of the mountains and the sea with a few glorious sunsets during my stay. The outdoor shower was unique too. Though it lacked a few amenities, it was overall a very nice experience. The suite is very private as well, another nice feature. The pool was clean and large enough to enjoy. I saw a worker cleaning the pool on my first day there. The staff was very friendly and helpful and on my last day, the lady front desk person helped me make a last minute reservation with Marsol Transport Service for my return to Cartagena. Muchas gracias. I hope to stay again. I mentioned this in my initial report but the hotel is a bit hard to find if arriving by foot. My IPhone Apple map has it placed incorrectly in the Plaza de los Novios on the opposite side of the their location. There are also two signs for the hotel on the Justica Building but that is not the site of the hotel. The hotel is actually across the plaza from this (white) government building on the other side in the corner near Donde Cucho Restaurant.

Really loved our stay here. Had a brand new room on second floor right next to pool. Pool had a connected sauna so you can go in and out seamlessly. Pool deck has a nice view out over the parque de los novios. The staff is very sweet and accommodating. Only complaints were a check in that took waaaay too long (45 minutes ) and our breakfast wasn’t ready when requested and they changed what we ordered the night before.
