Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Boutique Don Pepe

Calle 16 #1C–92, Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia

Seamlessly blending its 18th-century heritage with modern design, Don Pepe's central courtyard is the hotel's focal point, with exposed brickwork and arches that form the backdrop for a small splash pool and fountain. The rooftop terrace is simply decadent, with a small spa and massage area, an oversized Jacuzzi, daybeds with flowing white curtains, and a lounging area where you can catch cool evening breezes and sip refreshing cocktails while taking in the city views. Each guest room is unique---antique furniture stands side by side with modern comforts like oversized beds and high ceilings. The bathrooms are stylish with brass fittings and quality toiletries; some have an open-air, ivy-covered Jacuzzi area.

  • a block away from the seaside boardwalk
