Nice hotel

Let some start off by saying the hotel is beautiful and most of the staff is extremely friendly. My room was a nice size and had everything I needed. The rain shower was awesome. It had amazing pressure and was the best feature in my room hands down. The continental breakfast was delicious, they provided a great assortment of fresh fruits along with cooked foods like scrambled eggs, fried plantains and sausage, just to name a few. The only reason for the 4 star rating is due to their guest policy. If you have a guest that does not reside at the hotel, they are not allowed to enter your room. You must visit in the outdoor atrium. The staff stated the reason for this policy is due to the high level of prostitution and sex trafficking in the country so they are doing their part to help fight against that. I do understand the rule, however, I think it’s silly to implement it at 12 noon when my best friend and her niece came over due to a power outage in the area that affected the home they were staying in. This is the only thing I would encourage them to review and make a change.

The staff in general is very nice, food in restaurant is delicious, buffet is just ok.BE AWARE !The hotel has a policy that notbody can visit you after 10pm and even before 10pm the visitor cannot enter your room, just common areas. If you are planning to drink something in your room with friends you have to pay extra money.

Localização estratégica em Cartagena, a 10 tranquilos minutos a pé do centro histórico e a 3 minutos de caminhada leve do burburinho do Centro de Getsemaní. Adoramos tudo! Café da manhã bom.

Nos gustó la ubicación, el hotel por dentro muy lindo y el desayuno incluido muy bueno. Lo malo fue que nunca funcionó el teléfono de la habitación la solución que nos dieron fue darnos el whatsapp de recepción y nunca contestaron los mensajes. Tampoco tuvimos agua durante nuestra estancia, la solución que nos dieron fue que nos bañáramos con baldes llenos de agua. No se preocuparon por mejorar la experiencia (ninguna devolución, cambio de hotel, nada).
ni para lavar nuestros dientes salía agua
los baldes que nos proporcionaron para poder bañarnos
nos dejaron una toalla rota
