brand new hotel. restaurant was still under construction when i stayed. would have been an excellent stay but my room had no natural light. make sure to book a room with a street view. interior view will have you looking at a wall and feeling like you’re in a prison cell.

This was a great stay for the price. It was very clean, up to date, and in a walkable area. Close to beaches, 6 min ride to wall city and cruise port. It's next to grocery store. Only thing staff didn't tell me the drinks in the fridge wasn't free. 😂 (Guess I'm used to all-inclusive when I do beaches)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Ac wouldn’t work in the room, had to ask several times for the ac to be put to the maximum and one particular front desk agent kept playing games putting it at 23 degrees then after making a problem about it puts it to 20, when the previous agent was able to do it with no issues for my friends room. They couldn’t accommodate and couldn’t compensate for any of their wrongs.

The only complaint I have is the noise early morning that the hotel staff make outside of your room. Also you can hear people from the next door doing you know what but that doesn’t last for long. If you have trouble with your Spanish or need help with anything, ask for jimmy he takes good care of you.

Brand new place so everything is nice. No luxury, but all you need, comfortable beds, ample shower space, good hot water/cold control. Toilet pressure could be higher. Good breakfast. I wonder if when it starts getting more people if a buffet will be faster and more convenient. For now is fast enough. Service experience was pretty good. Hope it stays like that. They could have more international channels such as news in English. AC is not controlled by you in the room but it was decent. Ask for a second room key so you can keep the room cool because if you remove the key the AC turns off.

Not ready yet

This hotel has only been open for 7 months, unfortunately we were not informed that it's actually still under construction. The construction noise was very loud. The noise is prevalent en all rooms. Also the central air conditioning for the room is not controlled in the room, you have to call reception for temperature changes. Another issue was that the lights and the ventilation for the bathroom cannot be turned off.

Todo estuvo exelente con el hotel , su personal , la ubicación todo genial , no me gustó que me cobraron el agua de la nevera de la habitación, hubiera preferido que me cobraran un poco más cuando reserve y no tener un contratiempo al final por dos botellas de aguas. Después todo exelente si vuelvo a Cartagena lo reservaría nueva mente .

Falta de controle de Ar condicionados nos quartos

Razoável, o inconveniente maior era a falta de controle do ar condicionado no quarto, era centralizado na recepção e os funcionario (homens), principalmente um de tranças, nao eram cortez as solicitações de ligar ou desligar. As moças eram excelentes. O café era mto controlado, nem tudo era possivel pedir quando ja se havia solicitado uma opção.

Hotel moderno en Bocagrande

Es un hotel nuevo, con buenas atenciones y acomodación, el desayuno es delicioso, es un hotel muy tranquilo. Usamos el jacuzzi, pero su aspecto no se veía muy limpio.
