8.4/10 Very Good! (101 reviews)
We had a family stay at Porto and had a good experience. The rooms were beautiful and very clean. The beach is a 2 minite walk and the pool os quite large and great for both kids and adults. The only downside is that it’s not truly an all inclusive hotel. The food is included and some drinks. However, if you’re at the beach, which is off the property, there isn’t a bar. The pool has a bar, only during dedicated hours. We made it work, but it’s good to set that expectation if you are looking for an all inclusive experience.

Nice little resort right on the water. Several pools around the property. Breakfast was solid. There’s a guard shack as you enter the property to ensure safety. The resort is on the outskirts of Santa Marta and is about a 15-20 min drive into the main part of town. But it was no problem getting around.
