The park is flanked by attractive buildings and a handfull of restaurants and bars. Although it is the nicest plaza in Santa Marta it is somewhat smelly and dirty...the whole area needed an extended rainy... More

Yeah - just read somebody say, "nothing special," and although I agree - my fiance and I had a real fun time hanging out here on a Saturday night. If you can - try "Helados Exoticos" (which I don't think is reviewable yet on trip advisor but open late night and great quality for the price!). There was music and... More

Although the beach at Santa Marta is bustling with locals, vendors and stalls and is interesting for people watching. The actual town of Santa Marta is fairly dull and Parque de Los Novios is nothing special. More

Great place to chill out - any time. It has free WiFi so you can even catch up on mail whilst just watching the locals do their thing. In the evening its a magic spot for a drink and soak up the atmosphere. More

This is a very charming plaza in the center of Santa Marta. We enjoyed walking around at night and eating at a local restaurant close by called Donde Chucho. Parque de los Novios is a gathering place for couples and individuals, young and old to sit down and have some relaxing time and cool breeze after the days' hot temperatures.... More

It's a good place for a nice dinner or a quick bite. Also some bars there as well. It's small but worth a visit (preferably around dinner). More
