Pleasurable hotel
Beautiful architecture. The hotel is located in the nice new tourist part of Cartagena, and surrounded by beautiful apartment buildings and hotels. Rooms are nice but furnished with a minimum furniture: Two beds, one night table, one desk and a chair. Nothing else. I missed another chair to place clothes and things. A hotel of this category should have it. Lovely buffet breakfast in a terrace, with local and international dishes. Don't miss the "arepa de huevo" with "suero costeño" (sour cream). Lunch buffet quite good. You pay for an adult and a child can eat too. The restaurant is quite simple, there isn't any atmosphere inside or outside. A la carte dishes are also good, but nothing out of this world. The swimming pool is too small for the hotel, in my sense. It has only 20 beach chairs and just two or three parasols. There is a bar service in the swimming pool and the cocktails are great. There is a children's swimming pool that they enjoy a lot, as well as the exciting recreation. There's also nice recreation for adults in the evening, karaoke, live music, etc. The beach is nice, grey sand and a sea with good waves. The beach doesn't belong to the hotel and you have to pay for a tent if you want to use. It is not worth if you just want to spend some moments in the beach. You can bath an come back into the hotel premises. There's a nice terrace at the sea level, where you can stay. People are very helpful and friendly. The kind receptionist at the front desk checked us in when we arrived, at 10:00 a.m. It was a nice welcome that we greately appreciated. The old city is 20 minutes away and there are taxis all the time at the hotel.
Fresh and Breezy
An address I will you time and again if I visit Cartagena. You are not in the hustle bustle of the Old town nor are you in the Boca Grande area where you find the ugly tall buildings and crowded streets. This hotel is nestled in the lovely area of La Boquilla - 10 mins from Old town and 10 mins from the airport. The interior is fresh and clean and the staff are great. I payed to upgrade my room to the Master Suite - 1 stayed for 1 night and wanted to have access to the Suite's balcony for the perfect sunset. I was a bit dissapointed with the quality of the furnishing in the suite as all the surfaces seems to be manky/stained and old and not clean... the stench of dampness also bothered me and all the curtains needs a deep clean/wash as they were no longer white but beige/brown.
Beautiful hotel with fantastic staff
My partner and I stayed here in March just before everything shut down because of lockdown and the food, drinks, the room quality and cleanliness and most of all the staff's exceptional service was 10/10. As a Radisson gold member I was also kindly upgraded to a lovely, suite with a balcony and 2 bathroom. These are definitely worth paying the extra for. We had to return because our other travel plans were cancelled due to covid. Even though the hotel had suddenly become emptier as the whole of Cartagena pretty much shut down, this didn't make a difference to the staff's amazing attitude and friendliness. The breakfast buffet was huge and extensive, the poolside lunches included delicious pastas and fresh poke bowls and the dinners were more high end and included lots of fresh seafood. The only thing to be aware of is you need to taxi to and from the town as the hotel is in a quieter part of Cartagena. This takes around 8 mins each way. Thanks for a great stay.
40th Birthday
Awesome beachfront resort! I celebrated my 40th Birthday here and will definitely return. I reserved the 2 bedroom suite, the balcony overlooks the ocean. Such amazing views sunrises and sunsets. It's was perfectly located, just a short taxi ride to all of the happening spots. I highly recommend, already planning my return.
Excellent vacation
