The building administration charges a Registration fee to all guests.
Experience resort living in the private comfort of PlayaMar Apartment 403. This newly renovated, cozy yet modern apartment is located in the secluded and well-sought-after area of El Laguito, Cartagena, neighboring the five-star Hilton Hotel, Hotel Caribe, and Hotel Dann.

The beautiful and calm Caribbean waters of Cartagena are just a few elevator stops down from apartment 403- just like having the ocean in your backyard. Enjoy balcony views of the beach during the day and achieve a sound sleep to ocean waves at night

Nice Location, Pool, Beach
I had a great week at Maria's apartment. The apartment had everything that you needed, towels, bedding, appliances, dishes, and even some supplies like coffee, sugar, olive oil, etc. The location is right down the street from the Hilton and within walking distance to many good restaurants and shops in Bocagrande. There were a couple of minor issues but Maria took care of them promptly. Nice safe and secure place. I highly recommend.
