After the nightmare we had trying to check into another hotel nearby, it was nice to settle into an hotel that met my expectations. Guests in other rooms may have differing opinions due to their location, but having been placed in the end room of the top floor provided us with an absolutely amazaing view to wake up to in... More

This is a very poor & dated hotel and I'd advise anyone thinking of staying here to think again and spend your money elsewhere! More

The hotel is well located, in the middle of a nice area, lot of restaurants around and one block from the beach. It is located in the best area of Cartagena, but a little bit far way from downtown and "Ciudad Amurallada" what it's you want to visit in Cartagena. However, taxis are really unexpensive here so it is not... More

The claim of 5 stars is absurd. This is an average 3-Star property... - Check-in entails a long long wait. - Food and drinks rices are are simply TOO high. - Room floors are terrible... Tiles with dirty grout make floors look horrible. - Shower tiles dirty with mildew. - Shower heavy leak was never repaired even though we reported... More

pros: location - spacious rooms and clean cons: everything expesive drinks, food, etc - nothing special on the menu, better eat out for less - very small pool and crowded, has a solarium but only until 1pm - old building, tired, you can hear everything from neighbors next door - at chek out may be hidden charges and taxes.

Not worth spending much time describing the stay we had here. The location is fine. The pool is OK, but a lot smaller than the photos suggest. The rooms were decorated once, but that was some considerable time ago. The bathroom was very tired. Decent size though, but if you invite friends to come and have a drink in your... More

I booked my sister and husband into this hotel and the were great disappointed with the service, the view, the quality of the rooms. To add to that they tried to charge them more than what I had booked for. More

The Hotel is good if you can get a low Internet rate under $100 USD! Ask for a high floor and you will get an beatiful view, the Hotel is tired if you pay over USD$100, but if you pay less then, it is a good deal! The best feature was the pool and after all you go to Cartagena... More
