"We were honored to be the first guests after Isla Azul’s reopening under new management. The hotel manager Pedro is exceptionally friendly and customer-focused. He and his team were a highlight of our stay. He coordinated awe-inspiring snorkeling and phytoplankton tours with an experienced local guide. The restaurant chef whipped up delicious local favorites, made to order, and the piña coladas were nice and cold! The hotel was still in the process of renovating during our stay, so I expect that...

"After booking, we repeatedly messaged the hotel for directions and only got a reply at 7:55am on check-in day, telling us the only boat left Cartagena at 8:15am. No way to make it. They then sent a contact for a 9am boat costing 90k + 30k port tax, though cheaper 70k options exist. Given boats run only until 9am and transport can cost as much as two nights’ stay, this should be clearly stated before booking – we could easily have missed the first night. At the hotel, overnight guests have no...

Hotel OZ Grand

10/10 Excellent

"I have visited Cartagena over 10 times now and the Oz Hotel is probably the best stay for many reasons. Location, staff, cleanliness and value. Excellent"

Hyatt Regency Cartagena

8/10 Good

"I like the view from the room. When I got off the taxi there was no one to help with the luggage. And the reception desk is on the 12th floor that was weird. The staff on my arrival weren’t friendly. Again after registering there was no one to help with our luggage or to take us to our room. My husband and I were celebrating our birthday and they brought us a slice of cake for our birthday to our room."
