Beautiful hotel perfect for families. We loved how nice and friendly all the staff were and the common areas, Gardens, restaurants and pools nice and clean. However the room we stood was a little outdated and the bath tub in the bathroom was very high making it very difficult for kids and dangerous to go in and out. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

A great place

This is a great place for a stay in Cartagena. The service is incredible. The rates are reasonable. Access to the beach is easy with a safe and private area before reaching the actual beach, making it very stress free. The food was great and food/drink prices were reasonable. Access to the rest of Cartagena was simple as well.

Over priced. Check in is painfully slow if you are a foreigner. Really misrepresenting amenities and hotel rooms. Was told they had connecting rooms at reservation confirmation on my 2 double rooms only to find out only single bed rooms connect, not ideal for large families. Common areas not kept up. Drink spilled in font of room not cleaned for 2 days. They claim “airport transportation” but what they mean is that they will hail a cab for you. Needed 3 tiny local cabs to get to airport.

Hotel is immaculate. However, hotel needs some modern amenities and better pool service to stay a 4 star hotel. I was not impressed with the pool and bar staff. The adults only pool was overrun with kids and babies. The staff just hangs out and does not go around taking a drink orders. When you go yo the pool bar, it takes them 10 minures to get you a coke with no customers there. It seems they get annoyed. Checkout was slow too. They radio housekeeping to make sure you didnt take out something from the mini bar. Really?. This hotel is 3.5 stars or 4....
