Volveremos

Los diferentes jacuzzis al aire libre y la piscina son muy agradables. La pizza preparada en el horno es muy buena. Puedes estar todo el día sin aburrirte dentro del Hotel por la variedad de espacios al aire libre. El spa es imperdible.

En el baño de la habitación había una gotera todo el tiempo. El desayuno aunque es variado puede estar mejor el sabor por ejemplo de los huevos y los amasijos.

Not bad for a first timer

I liked the spa which has a whirlpool, Turkish steam bath, and a sauna. Hotel check in and check out were pretty easy. There is a lot of wildlife on the property, which made the stay enjoyable. There is a good variety at breakfast, and private security for the beach club. The hotel staff surprised me and left a small cake in my room for my birthday. The location is close to businesses for things you may need. It was easy enough to taxi back and forth to the walled city.

The tourism worker didn’t seem to know much about local tours. I was in Cartagena for my birthday and explained that I wanted to spend my special day on a pristine beach. I explained this several times, and even had one beach in mind. She told me the best beach and the one she recommended (Isla del Encanto) would meet all of my requirements. I was sadly disappointed that the beach was not pristine as promised, and there were better beaches I could have gone to for the same price or cheaper. The WiFi did not work most of the time I was there, and the tv didn’t work the first day. The hotel does not have small face towels.

Servicio de personal impecable, habitacion espantosa

El personal muy agradable muy atento, las zonas verdes, los animales que se encuentran libres en el hotel es hermoso, la comida deliciosa

Desafortunadamente nos tocó en el edificio más antiguo del hotel el cual las habitaciones no se encuentran bien entretenidas, goteó constante del techo en el baño ( haciendo que el piso sea bastante resbaladizo, un peligro para mujeres embarazadas , niños , personas adultas ) bastante humedad en la habitación lo cual crea olores muy desagradables, una construcción del hotel que se está realizando al lado del edificio de la habitación la cual es bastante ruidosa y no te permite dormir, en los días donde se presenta viento las ventanas de la habitación hacen un ruido espantoso pareciera que se fueran a romper se mueven de lado a lado impidiendo que durmiéramos este día nos despertamos a las 4 de la mañana, un hotel 5 estrellas con un servicio de personal increíble pero un alojamiento desastroso no lo vale, muy mala experiencia con la habitación

Excelente para compartir en familia 👏

Buena atención de todo el personal Buenas instalaciones en general Las zonas húmedas, restaurantes y bar muy bien … El Club de playa … perfecto

Sugerencia: Remodelar los baños creo que ya cumplieron su ciclo, es hora de actualizarlos Para que haya un equilibrio total, de igual manera la sala de juegos y más cuando los niños son los que más la frecuentan… tienen los espacios y seguro los medios financieros; pienso que está llamado a ser uno de los mejores hoteles de Cartagena, solo detalles por mejorar que seguro se verán reflejados en el bienestar del turista.

As a frequent traveler this is absolutely my worst hotel stay

The tropical garden with tropical animals. The building is an old colonial building very beatifull

The hotel is not a five star. It is more like a 3 star. The manager was very unpleasant. When we came we paid for the rooms,. After one hour they call me and tell me i paid more and returned some money. I told them three times to recheck. At the end of the stay they tell us that we did nit pay one room. When i told them that they told me everything is ok, all they said was it is a human mistake and the ,manager was extremely nasty instead of apologizing for the inconvenience. Even though the manager was always boosting that he is a great manager he was on contrary very unpleasant even though he wanted to show that he was pleasant. One evening the management allowed a party on the pool until 3 am in the morning. The gusts of the hotel were terrorized the whole night. One day they had a private event and the hotel guests could not use the terrace restaurant at all. The staff at the breakfast room asked you every day at leats three time for your room number. The breakfast was always the same offer, bread was stale as were the pancakes.

Agradable para una estancia corta en Cartagena.

Lo mejor del hotel es el ambiente tropical de las zonas comunes, el jardín y los animales que lo habitan.

La habitación no tenía ni siquiera una silla para sentarse, el baño necesitaba una refacción urgente. Pese a que había mucho personal, dos veces nos quedamos sin servicio de toallas en la playa….

Elijalo, no se va a arrepentir

VOLVERIA A OJOS CERRADOS. El hotel es maravilloso, las instalaciones y cada uno de los lugares eran preciosos. El personal siempre atento, los animales (ciervos, osos perezoso, guacamayos, tucanes, pavo real) dan un toque hermoso a cada lugar sobre todo en nuestro caso que viajamos con mi hijo de 3 años, se ven bien cuidados y a pesar de andar sueltos no se ve suciedad ni nada. Las piscinas son comodas, limpias y hay 6 de distintos tamaños. Los restaurants sirven comida abundante y sabrosa, a costo acorde al hotel obvio. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados si viajas en familia y sobre todo con niños. Si bien el hotel no tiene playa privada, tienes acceso directo a su club y playa a su costado, es bastante tranquilo, lo recomiendo. El desayuno es variado y abundante, jugos frescos y comida tipica.

Mejoraria el area de juegos y niños, desde el punto de vista de la decoración y de las actividades propuestas.

El mejor hotel de Cartagena!

La arquitectura del hotel es preciosa. Se siente el caribe! No como en otros hoteles de lujo que son solo un edificio. La piscina tiene la temperatura perfecta. La atención del personal hace que te sientas como de la realeza. Es delicioso despertar con el canto de las aves que tienen al cuidado del hotel. La playa privada es excepcional. El desayuno buffet es de lo mejores que he probado. Las cortesías que dan elevan la experiencia a otro nivel. Sin duda el mejor hotel de Cartagena!

El gimnasio podría mejorar bastante en cuanto a estado de maquinas y espacio, considero que ya se está quedando algo corto para la categoría del hotel. Los precios de consumo en los productos del hotel, más que todo comidas y bebidas, son bastante elevados.

Hotel com ótima estrutura e área de lazer.

Hotel com excelente área de lazer, ótimas piscinas, restaurantes, bom café da manhã, estrutura de resort porém não tem pensão completa ou all inclusive, uma pena.

Apartamentos precisam de reforma, o meu teve um problema no ar-condicionado mas resolveram rapidamente, paredes precisam de pinturas. Na Colombia as férias escolares são diferentes do Brasil então, para janeiro, estava bem cheio, mas creio que isso é bom para eles.

Worth the price and close to simple shopping

Excellent location, spacious, comfortable, lots of beds at the pool and a safe space by the beach. It was clean and all indoor places had blasting AC to beat the 107F weather. To get to my room, there was no indoor passage, so the 3min walk was heavy on the heat hahaha. Food was good, buffet breakfast and lunch, and a l carte dinner. Optional all inclusive or pay per meal. Lunch and Dinner were typically around $35 per person. I consider it a little pricey considering so many restaurants nearby, but the food was good and the comfort worth it. Room was good, bed was fairly comfortable, and the shower pressure was good. Hotel provides shampoo, conditioner, soap, bath gel, hair dryer, and safe in the closet. The spa is small but with different massage services, Turkish bath and hot tub. The room is equipped with a mini bar with drinks and snacks, at “hotel price”, good to get when in a rush, but I suggest walking out to the pharmacy less than 2 blocks away that is open 24 hours. You’ll get the same at more than half the price. The bellboys at the entrance are so helpful and very kind, either helping you or guiding you around the hotel. They also assist in getting you a taxi to get around. The hotel is well located by Bocagrande beach (hotel has a private area with lounge chairs and restaurant), and close by to the city with restaurants, souvenir shops, pharmacies and stores. There is also a small shopping mall within walking distance.

There wasn’t an indoor passage to the building with rooms. Front desk could be more attentive and informative.

It was okay

The pool area and the location

Requested a garden view, had to keep window shut the whole time because it was on the main floor and where the workers were working, you were also able to see the main road . Also did not like the bathroom, there wasn’t a space to place soap after use

Property was amazing! Loved the garden and animals that reside there. Rooms were a little dated, but clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was cold and property was located in a great location and secure. I felt very safe there. Staff was hospitable and friendly.

My only complaint is the food is bland and there should be more options available. Pizza was good though!

Excellent service and facilities, a very complete hotel

Excellent service all round, hotel is very complete with the facilities and with the nature surrounding makes it very relaxing

Pool can get busy & beach not that special. But as well as pool you have the 3 other smaller pools/whirlpool
