Easy approach. We did it for the first time at night with 30 knots of wind. Anchor off the beach or go into the marina.
Check-in facilities
Go to the marina, ask for Dino, give him your paperwork and then wait. Cost: US$50 for Dino plus charges for the authorities.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
This is a commercial port but now has one new marina. It is still under construction (Dec 2011), but has showers, laundry, docks, electricity and water.
Daily rate of US$0.65/ft for monohulls and US$0.85/ft for multihulls. Supposedly to go up soon. Better prices for longer terms.

Anchorages
It is possible to anchor in 3 m of water just outside the marina entrance while you wait for daylight. Looks like you can also anchor just to the south of the marina although we did not see any boats anchored there.

Friends
Dino is the dude. He will come to the marina and do your entry paperwork for US$50 and help with anything else. Speaks excellent English and Spanish.
He says, "Don't think of me as your agent. Think of me as your friend in Santa Marta who is available 24 hours per day to assist with anything, absolutely anything."
