I would recommend this hotel over and over again. It was my first time in Cartagena and at this hotel, we had an amazing stay. The location was unbelievable. We felt very safe at all time. The hotel itself was remarkable. I’ve traveled a lot in my time and I have to say this is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever been to.. it was exactly what I was looking for. The staff was amazing, very welcoming and professional. Our rooms were beautiful!! I love that you could be out in the city walking around and come back to your sanctuary of a stunning, relaxing hotel! The restaurants at the hotel were outstanding!!!!!

The service and attention to detail by the staff was impeccable. My hats off to all of the employees of the hotel, they are awesome! It’s in a great location in the walled city that allows easy access, within a 10 minute walk, to all of the nightlife that Cartagena has to offer (we walked to and from the various bars and nightlife every night and felt very safe). There are hotel staff manning the entrance to the hotel at all hours. The hotel is also literally surrounded by local restaurants. Great pool, with a great pool bar. Great hotel restaurant! Huge shout out to the hotel bartenders! We had a group of 20 and they were awesome and didn’t miss a beat! I would recommend this hotel for anyone staying in the walled city. The room prices are premium, but for good reason.
