Almirante Padilla S.A. Riohacha Santa Marta recent customer reviews
The company kept us delayed and waiting in a very hot room for over an hour. The bus left at about 1:30 and arrived at 4:50. On the bus, the bathroom door handle was broken. There was no running water in the bathroom. We helped people get in and out of the bathroom. Overall, we arrived safely in Santa Marta. I would not book this company again as the ticket advertised was for a 12:20 departure and 2.5 hour duration.
