6 Resorts in Cartagena: Best hotel deals for 2023

May 6, 2023 Chanda Heide

Cartagena, a gorgeous fishing village on Colombia's Caribbean coast, has excellent beaches, a historic old town (that's entirely walkable) and beautiful colonial architecture. It's also one of the safest places in the country, so it's no wonder it's a popular port of call for cruise ships. Need a break from exploring the cobblestone streets? Stop at an outdoor cafe for excellent pastries and people-watching.

It’s a great hotel, the service really makes up the outdated rooms (which are fine) to expensive, but a good hotel. Everything es clean, well taken care and a well organized and trained staff with you in mind. It’s at the outskirts of Cartagena, making it a 15 minute drive to the center of town but with the added virtue of a beautiful beech.

Be careful if transferring deposit to secure accomodations

I sent a money transfer to this hotel, to an account that was provided to me by customer service rep. They received the payment as requested, but continually claimed that they could not be sure it was from me. The reason I did not pay form the suite with my credit card is they said payment can only be received by credit card in person, and I was buying a weekend as a gift for my friend. In the end my friend had to use her card and I reimbursed her directly. So ultimately I paid for the suite twice, since I still have not received any refund for my original money transfer. I did everything they asked for, and the $700 CAD was received by the Hotel's bank. Strange behaviour for such a well known Hotel Group. Peter D.

Horrible!

I did my internship here back in 1982 and 83, had such a good memories about the service so when we were planning to stay a night in CTG to rest from our flight from NYC I booked a room here, what a mistake. Rooms are small and run down, AC it's not cool enough for the local weather, plan included breakfast so I went downstairs around 7 AM and walked all over the line checking what they were offering, asked questions, make a cup of coffee and went back to my room to wake up my husband, all this without a mask. When we went back around 9 AM i started ordering what i wanted from the buffet line and was asked to wear a mask, I told them i didn't have one and asked if they had any, at that moment i think it was the cashier walked towards us in avery threatening manner about the mask, I repeated that i didn't have one, so we were told we had to leave. It was the most embarrassing situation ever. I recommend them to post a sign that express that masks are required to enter (I went before without one and nobody said anything to me) or like in most places in USA they have a box of mask right next to the entrance for the customer convenience. The whole situation was so ridiculous and left my husband who is a US citizen with the idea that we were about to be beat up just because the agressive attitude of the hotel employee. Also the towels are horrible rough, it feels like you are drying your sunburn body with sand paper! The general attitude of the hotel employees about your complaints is none, they don't show any concern about you not been happy with the hotel services, so I would never go back to that place, and just be aware, if you are expecting a 5 starts hotel service, its not gonna happen, maybe you would get the of a 2.5 or 3 stars maybe.

Great hotel with beach access and near the airport

Reviewed By MrsMarks

This is a lovely hotel with spa and two pools added to the fact that it has beach access. The food in both the bar and restaurante is very good with the breakfast choice excellent. The customer service is on point and to complete it, for me, it is close to Cartagena International Airport.
