Ocean front with a great view… and a bit more
Reviewed By mateos754It’s a great hotel, the service really makes up the outdated rooms (which are fine) to expensive, but a good hotel.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.

Horrible!
Reviewed By 517maritzacI 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.

Be careful if transferring deposit to secure accomodations
Reviewed By Camper264881I 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.

Great place
Reviewed By Nick WWe are on a trip staying for 10 days in Colombia and booked 2 nights here, because of what the travel reviews advised for the rosarios islands. Big mistake. We should have done a week here. We ended up booking another night and taking the hit on the prepaid hotel in Cartagena. This is a stunning location. Simply stunning. Its not a hotel it's a resort. Lots of space lots of privacy. Lots of trips to do ( snorkeling, sight seeing, oceanarium swimming with dolphins kayak tours in the mangroves et etc). Great free snorkeling around the resort. Free use of the resort kayak etc. Let's clear up a few unfounded concerns we had: 1. early arrival before check in and late afternoon departure...you have full access to all the facilities, toilets, showers, free cold drinking water, fresh outside towels, lunch sunbeds etc. You effectively get an extra day. 2. Bar and food prices as you have no alternatives. They are dearer than SOME places in Cartagena but not all and not by much. Drinks and cocktails same as most popular bars in Old Town.. £2.50 cold 33cl beer and £7 for a average cocktail. Food prices for house salad £7 , fish of the day £13, lobster £35. Still great value, on a beautiful island 45 mins from the city. Freebies...fresh fruit juice and free dessert with your meals. Free coffee & free drinking water. To compare day trips to neighbouring resorts are £60 for 1 hour there 1 hour back and max of 5 hours on an island. Book direct for better deal. In short....one of the best places we have stayed. Go enjoy.

Great hotel with beach access and near the airport
Reviewed By MrsMarksThis 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.

run down hotel at a very nice resort
Reviewed By moen4445the place is just beautiful. nice pool, beach, the lagoon. much nature around and the island is nice as well. the staff was very friendly and always helpful. still, most things took hours, the processes seem not really to work & the staff dont know what to do. we stayed there for 3 nights and would recommend to only go there for a daily excursion and return to Cartagena in the afternoon. the prices were extremely high (about 100 dollars for one night) and the hotel isnt worth the money. the rooms are dark and very very old. it seems they werent updated since the hotel opened in like the 80ies. the worst bathroom.I have seen in 3 weeks in Colombia. the bed isnt comfortable at all. & the worst of all: they will charge you the most expensive prices in whole Colombia for food, finns to go snorkel, beer and even water - even though you alreafy paid 100 per night - thaths a rip off! the food wasnt even tasty or worth the money and the choice is very poor. FYI there is a small store just about 10mins walk away where you can buy snacks & drinks for half of the price they charge you at the hotel.

8. Hotel Boutique Bovedas by Santa Clara

4.5 based on 297 reviews
This hotel is located in the heart of the walled city of Cartagena de Indias. It offers spacious and confortable rooms with a wonderful view over the sea. In addition to the Jacuzzi on the top floor of the hotel, guests can enjoy the facilities of the Sofitel Santa Clara hotel as their restaurants, Bar, Spa and Pool, which is only a few steps away.
Disappointed!
Reviewed By Cartagena07As a silver member of All Accord hotels I expected a better room and service. The BAD: 1. previously scheduled transportation for airport pick up never showed up and had to take a taxi. 2. The room they gave me was depressing . Looked old and needs an upgrade. Since I had multiple reservations throughout this trip I requested and upgrade and was denied. 3. The hotel in general seems like it needs an upgrade. 4. For the money you pay you may be able to find something better in the old city. The GOOD: 1. Breakfast at the Santa Clara 2. Able to use amenities at the Santa Clara

Located at the paradisiac Baru peninsula, 75 minutes from Cartagena and member of the TripAdvisor ‘Hall of Fame’ for its certified excellence during 5 consecutive years, the Decameron Baru allows guests to enter a magical experience that will disconnect them from the outside world. The resort is located amidst a tropical forest and its architectural design intermingles with an ecological environment surrounded by many beaches, among which is the popular ‘Playa Blanca’, considered one of the best beaches of the Colombian Caribbean, and the luxurious ‘Playa Puntilla’ beach, where our travellers may enjoy a private club and several sports such as kayaking, rowing, scuba and snorkeling.

Stay May 2022
Reviewed By shantane77I probably would not stay at this resort again. The staff were pretty nice, however, very few spoke any english. The RCI website says that they do not accept any credit cards and only accept cash, which is not true. They would prefer to accept credit. The food choices were sub par. The shower water was luke warm, so it felt like I was taking a cold shower every day for 7 days. The drinks were pretty watered down, so we started drinking the wine, which was better than the mixed drinks.

Reviewed By Camper102662Fantastic hotel, great service, the food is to die for. The staff is friendlly and being a small hotel they remember your preferences . They are remodeling the hotel now but Im sure it will be much better once they open again.
