The hotel room was very spacious, clean, simple. The woman at the front desk was a little stand-off ish but the rest of the staff was very accommodating. The bellhop and assistant manager were very helpful. The pool is much smaller than it appears in the images. The food was ok, not many options and a little bland. There are a lot of nice restaurants in the area with great affordable meals.

Great locations,but the property seem to be old. I would not stay in this property any more because they don't allowing visitors. They charge $30 per visitors

I stay here often when I’m in Cartagena. The people are always nice and welcoming. The location is perfect for the beach and restaurants. Just a short cab ride to anything else around. Great hotel for the price and the staff is amazing.

The room was spacious but lacked amenities, no microwave , no iron in the room, blowdryer, hand soap, cover sheets on the bed were thin with no blankets . The pool area was quite disappointing as well.
On the upside the staff are very friendly and helpful and the hotel clean.

Staff were extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. Charged us for a small hand towel that was “not clean”.
Bathroom/shower was right beside bed and no door for shower.
