This hotel is very old but renovated. Everyone is incredibly nice, and service is impecable. They go a long way to get to know you and help you in anyway they can, from the people at the front desk, the staff of the restaurant, everyone. We came early, but our room was ready so we were able to check in. The room was comfortable, although the bathroom could use a new renovation. The hotel has amazing spaces for kids, including a great pool and animals, such as deer and tropical birds my kid had a great time. The only downside of this hotel is that ridiculous, expensive food, although quality is good, it's not worth what it's cost even for Cartagena standards. Breakfast was amazing with a lot of options and loved that it was open up to 11 AM .

This hotel is stunning! I studied in Cartagena many years ago, and I chose to stay here because I had always dreamed of it. The architecture and gardens are absolutely beautiful. The only downside was the coffee situation. For a hotel of this caliber in Colombia, I expected coffee makers in the rooms and some good Colombian Coffee.

The staff were all friendly, nice, helpful and polite. Jose Castillo was superb and there was an older person at the restaurant tall and slim that went out of his way to please us for our breakfast. The building we stayed in was ok, however our bedroom needed to be cleaned. I walked once without my shoes and my feet were all black underneath. You can feel the dirt. The bathroom shower was dirty as well. I had to go buy sandals to be able to take a shower. One unique thing they did was that my friend was celebrating her birthday and when we came to the room they had a birthday cake for her. That was very sweet and special. I rate them with an overall 7 points, because the room we stayed in did not seemed to go with the rest of the beautiful buildings. I humbly suggest that rooms be inspected and/or the bathroom need some remodeling.

2/10 Poor

We were on vacation in December last year and everything was perfect. Now we have been there for a week, we traveled from New York and another family of friends from Chile. The experience this time was very bad and these are the points that made us most uncomfortable: 1. They gave us a dirty room, the fridge was empty and when my wife asked them about the room and the fridge they told her she had to wait until the next day. 2. My friend from Chile asked for chicken grile and that please be breast and the waiter told her that that decision was up to the Chef. 3.We go to the restaurant for dinner and the waiter, an elderly man, comes reluctantly to serve us and does not give us all the options on the menu, as if he wanted us to not eat anything and leave. 4. I go to deliver the towels and the person in charge tells me that if I didn't deliver them on time, then I would be parked as if I had stolen them. 5. A waitress who was there at the time argued with me saying that we Latinos pay attention to things that don't matter and that the rules of the hotel must be enforced. My conclusion: Is it really a 5 star hotel, or are they lying to us, this service and these things never happen in a real 5 star hotel where we have been in the USA and other countries. Never an employee such as a waitress should argue with any guest. Never in any 5 star hotel do they go after guests for a towel. The rooms should never be dirty and the refrigerator or mini bar should never be empty.

The property is pretty centrally located. Tons of food options within walking distance. In the evening, the pick up for chiva buses is directly across the street. The rooms ac did not work properly but they accommodated and offered to switch us to a different room. We declined and requested fans and it solved the problem. The food and drinks were delicious! Breakfast was very good! We saw tons of animals roaming the property. My son held a sloth that kept coming to visit the pool area. Everyone of the staff members are seen working hard all day and are extremely polite and helpful. If I return to Cartagena again with my family if 4, I would return to Hotel Caribe. The pools were perfect for the kids!
