This room had mosquitoes dark dirty air air-conditioning leaked on your head when brushing teeth and shower flooded the bathroom floor was not pitched so just flooding with the air conditioning. System doesn’t work. You can’t regulate at all. You never know what you’re gonna get here. The area is really Cold. This particular building is one of the oldest in the area. Hasn’t been very well maintained the Chinese on it now and that Radison operate so I don’t think anybody cares too much about the condition.

The rooms are very out dated they need an upgrade for the amount they charge per stay. I loved the animals you get to see and the staff was very nice. The rooms are very clean and stocked with everything you need. The restaurants inside the hotel are soo good. Their sushi and pizza the best thing in Boca grande. This hotel i believe is mainly for family and kids. The peacocks are beautiful but they don’t let you sleep hahah they are up really early about 4 am. If you don’t mind that then you’re good. I would def return once the rooms are upgraded.

Excellent stay in Cartegena with our husband and kids! If you want a unique experience that feels more authentically Colombian I recommend caribe with flying colors! Breakfast is a nice perk and an opportunity to eat and try Colombian food! Staff were extremely nice and very responsive. The pool was amazing for my kids. The hotel is located near everything if you want to see more in Cartegena outside of the walled city. We took very inexpensive cabs to the walled city and other parts of Cartegena during our 5 day stay.

Discrepancy with room
