“Bahia Blanca's location directly on the beach in Santa Marta proves a major plus, especially considering the price. The staff earns high marks for helpfulness, and while rooms are simple-perhaps best suited for short stays-the privacy of a separate room with shower trumps a hostel. I think it's a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location and friendly service.”
