This is a budget hotel and it´s OK for what you go to Cartagena, sightseeing and not staying at the hotel. Maybe if you are local you may go to the tiny pool or to the not very good beach in front of the hotel, they give you towels and try to keep all the vendors from attacking you (not... More

I just came back from this hotel, I had a little budget for my trip! This is one of the few hotels of Cartagena that offer all inclusive service! The Food is excellent breakfast, lunch, dinner; different options you can choose in the three meals. Also you have snacks and as many drinks you want during the day and at... More

The hotel needs some maintenance in the rooms, as it is very old.It is very good in the provision of the three meals, which I consider are excesive regarding quantity.better maintenance and less food will give a right balance.

This is the worst hotel ever. the reception office is really hot. There is just a small fan for such a big space. The elevators are small, smelly and slow. The rooms and the hallways also smell like must. the bathroom is small, smelly and dirty. The tub is blocked and you have to wait a long time for the... More

The Good part, was the price,the location,the people I met and the coffee.I stayed at this place for 14 days from Feb 27/12 to Mar 12/12. I usually travel solo,so, when I saw that the mark up rate from double to single occupancy was less than 15% (ie $869 double vs $999 single) it was a no brainer.The location is... More

We think the hotel was recently renovated, because our rooms were remodeled and very clean. The stuff very friendly and helpful and the food was good. The pool was half shaded, which is very good in that heat when your sensitive to the sun and it was cleaned everyday. A highlight are the bartenders: full of jokes and stories and... More

As soon as we arrived, I noticed that it was much louder, darker and and crowded in the lobby area than I'd hoped for. Although my first impression wasn't the greatest, as long as the rooms were nice, I knew I would be fine...unfortunately we never quite made it to that point. After the receptionist had a difficult time finding... More

I stayed four days and three nights in this hotel. The food was fairly good, rooms are a little simple but they're ok. However the bathroom needs some improvement. Good service, nice pool, some sport activities included in the "all include" plan. The beach is just in the rear so you just have to cross the street. The a/c is... More

I spent 10 beautiful days in this Hotel. Perfect location, very clean and safe area. Staff very friendly. Room very clean with internet service. Defenitely a place to recomend to my friends. Just one thing to be aware of "if need a taxi use the ones that they know....the other will charge more"
