I would return.
Pros:

I did not realize my budget room came without air conditioning, and it didn’t cost but a few dollars more to have it, but my room did have a super-strong fan. A 10-minute walk to the beach or a local mall with the Carulla grocery or the Olimpica grocery on the way. The front desk went beyond good service to get my payment processed (cash only at check-in, oops). Allowed to use the staff kitchen to boil water for my morning tea. Decent prices at local restaurants. Excellent customer service and above excellent cleaning staff. Front door staff 24 X 7. The only concern I had was that I could smell a diesel-type engine exhaust in the bathroom. I kept the bathroom window open and the door closed between it and the room.

Reasonably priced rooms
Pros:

Not very far from the best beach in El Rodadero (About 7 blocks) and 2 blocks away from the nearest bus stop. Reasonably priced rooms. Good staff, as I requested, they offered me some options as the room I booked was not available.

Cons:

The room I booked was assigned to other guest, so at the beginning they gave me a smaller one. Very small windows in some rooms, old furniture, some locks didn't work, in my room there was a very noisy air fan.

Pros:

Muy buena ubicación en un área muy tranquila del Rodadero conocida localmente como Cantamar, un poco alejado del bullicio de la zona más turistica. Queda cerca de supermercados, comidas rápidas y de una pequeña playa poco visitada por los turistas. El hotel tiene buena infraestructura, es limpio y el personal muy amable. Muy recomendado

Great Value being in a real hotel
Pros:

I loved the stay in Tamaca .
The location : Playa Rodadero is much better place to stay in Santa Marta . The beach was one block away , restaurants around and a big supermarket just 100miters away.
To Santa Marta downtown is 20min away with local bus , passes every 3 min and cost only 60 cents .
The place : is well maintained , peaceful and clean . Reception 24/7.
The Room: I was in room 211 that was great , the A/C was fantastic , 2 windows with natural light, clean and tide .. . Private bathroom .
The staff : very nice , helpful and proffesional . Really an Hotel establishment. 🏨
