BK - BURUKUKA Restaurante Bar / Sunset Spot Santa Marta

Beautiful Views, Average Experience The standout feature of this restaurant is definitely the 180-degree view of El Rodadero Beach. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or meal while taking in a stunning sunset — the view alone is worth the visit. That said, the food was fairly average, and the service didn’t particularly stand out. There is a lively atmosphere, thanks to a DJ playing electro-Caribbean mixes, which adds a nice local vibe to the experience. Overall, it’s a great place to go for the view and a relaxed drink, but if you're looking for exceptional food or service, you might want to temper your expectations.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The place has spectacular views of Rodadero and is perfect for watching the beautiful sunsets that Santa Marta offers. I had the Orange Sunset drink, a mix of aguardiente, vodka, and maracuyá. It was delicious and refreshing. The music was right up my alley—loungy, relaxed, and great for chatting while enjoying the open air. We ordered an appetizer, which was good. However, the service was horrible, so keep that in mind. It took forever to place our order and even longer to pay. All in all, it’s a great spot with amazing views and a tasty menu. Definitely worth a visit, and I will return.

The food and drinks was really. The waiters were not always that attentive. I'm not sure if it's because of our timing, but it was really hard to communicate with each other because if the music. There was a live band and during their break a background music.

I had a reservation and arrived at sunset specifically for the view. Despite the restaurant being almost empty, I was seated inside by myself while multiple outdoor tables were visibly empty and other guests were seated outside. When I asked about moving, I was told no outside tables were available, which did not match what was clearly visible. I was dining alone, and the situation felt unwelcoming and unnecessary, especially given that I had a reservation and it was sunset time. When I raised the issue, there was no apology or attempt to address the concern. This was the first time during my time in Colombia that I chose not to tip, due to the service. The food was fine, but the service and seating experience were disappointing.

This place is great! They probably have the best view of Rodadero. Just coming here for the pictures makes it worth it. The food we got was delicious and the service was good (which is not common in Santa Marta). We enjoyed being here and having a good time with the family. The music could have been a little less loud in order to have a great time. I highly recommend this place!

Place is gorgeous with views for days. Food was amazing and my husband is hard to impress. He sent his congratulations to the chef for making a great Lomo Salteado with alot of flavor. My daughter had a scrumptious rice with shrimp that was so flavorful. I had the risotto with mushrooms that was so filling and delicious. Highly recommended.

Great view of the ocean and area. Very good service. Reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the two meals we had (Salmon Crunchy and Tropical Filet) were mediocre in taste. We were hoping this would be a night to remember, but instead, we left early and ended up looking elsewhere. Perhaps we will return and try some other dishes.

The food was good, maybe a bit too pricey for the food quality but the atmosphere and view make up for it. The wait staff are very nice
