The hotel needs to be renovated ASAP and the service is not that good. It was not a good experience in this hotel.
Ana, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The stay was good. The rooms are clean and equipped with everything you need. Breakfast is very delicious, and the hotel’s location is great. However, the pool staff was repeatedly unfriendly, and we were never asked if we wanted anything else.
Melanie, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

The breakfast was cold and the internet was spotty. The hot water had to run for five minutes to get hot. The massage was good. The location, directly across from my beach is the reason you will pay what you pay. This place was not worth what we paid,
Kenneth, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

This hotel is very outdated in the rooms. In the lobby and common areas beautiful. The rooms are absolutely old and definitely need a gut and rebuild. This is not a 4 or 5 star hotel this should be labeled as a 2 star hotel. Staff were nice and very pleasant. Everything closes at 10PM so there goes your night life in Cartagena unless you know the spots to go to. Also the min you step outside there vendors begging for money. Bed was alright anything else very very old especially the bathroom that's constantly painted over or chipping paint and the curtains are yellow! The windows are so dirty you can barely see the views and in the pool they have a caution tape because rocks fall from the updaters balcony on the kiddy side of the pool.
Carmen, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was good and the pool was warm close to the beach
