Everything worked out perfectly for us regarding this property and our stay in Cartegena. The apartment was just as it advertised - and better. The living room and kitchen were bigger than it seemed online. It was nice to have a full bathroom for each bedroom as we had 8 people (3-3-2) among the bedrooms. The pool was just right - enough to cool off and relax without having to even go out the front door. The appliances all worked fine - washer, dryer, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher. The location was great, too, being right near the wall we could walk along it at night. Since the walled city is relatively compact, we were able to walk around the entire place easily from there. We'd go back there for our second trip to Cartegena...when we're fortunate enough to get another chance. Thank you!

We were 6 people and everyone loved it. Location was great. We were only 1 block away from the Sofitel Leyenda Santa Clara. This made it very convenient for those of us in the wedding party. Yogi our housekeeper was an amazing addition to our stay; making our experience even better and more special than expected. She cooked wonderful meals every morning and kept the place clean and tidy. The private pool and cold ac were welcomed features since it can get pretty hot outside in Cartagena. The villa was truly even better in person. Everyone was very comfortable and there was plenty of space. It is decorated very tastefully and the bathrooms had bidets which were unexpected and great features. Overall, our stay was GREAT and we all really enjoyed our villa. Maryem and Monica were also wonderful and easy to communicate with. They were very helpful coordinating everything and ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. Thanks to you all!!!

The property was comfortable for 3 couples and large enough to gather in the living area and outside patio. The beds were comfortable as well. It’s beautifully decorated! The location is perfect too!

Property is close to everything but far enough away that it is nice and quiet. We felt incredibly safe with the front desk staff keeping an eye on things all week. Be patient with the hot water as it takes a bit to get going - maintenance had to help us with this but they were very prompt. Some Things to consider -1) the pool cleaner does need to come every day and you do need to be there and scheduling that was a pain in the behind bc you just want to go out and do things and 2) the hot tubs on the roof of the building were not working when we were there (not Monica’s fault) 3) seriously consider a maid service like every other day or every few days bc there is no way to toss out trash yourself and you will quickly go through towels etc.

I booked this place for our parents to have comfort during my wedding week in Cartagena and they had the security and the privacy they needed. The private pool was a nice touch and the place was spacious, the beds were comfortable. The only gripe is that their dryer machine did not work which made washing clothes not possible. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be staying in it in the future.

I stayed here with my family, a group of 8 total. The property is exactly as pictured in the listing. We arranged for daily cleaning + breakfast service which was a fantastic addition. Having a private pool was wonderful, enjoyed by everyone. We felt safe in the apartment complex which has 24/7 security on site. The property's location is close to many sights and restaurants, but far enough away from the active nightlife that you get a quiet night's rest. Would gladly stay again.

This apartment was beautiful and well kept. The only reason for a 4star is the lack of filtration in the pool and overpriced chef/cook. Other than that I would definitely recommend this place. The location is excellent, quiet but close to one of the best areas, near the Sofitel Santa Clara. Most importantly it was very secure.

The pool, the location, the communication- it was all great. Having a morning cook and housekeeper was a nice touch.

Our group of friends stayed here for a wedding weekend and it was perfect. We absolutely loved having a private pool and the living room made for a great hang out spot. You cannot beat the location and the host was super accommodating and responsive - bringing us fresh towels when requested and being available if we needed anything. We will definitely stay here again!

Loved the condo. Provided great space with individual bathrooms for each bedroom. The pool provided a welcome asset on hot afternoons. Would recommend this as a lovely option when visiting Cartagena.

Overall experience was good - location and access to restaurants, etc. was excellent. The place was clean, quiet and felt safe and secure.
Besides not get cable in main bedroom to work and having no wash towels - overall experience was good.

Beautiful Villa!
This is a beautifully decorated villa. The location is fantastic! Walking distance to historic squares, cathedrals, restaurants. Very safe neighborhood, the private pool and outdoor sitting area provide a wonderful place to relax. Our family loved it!

Simply Amazing!!!!
What can I say... Amazing location, luxury accommodations, concierge level care all in paradise. so much history and architecture surrounding the area that most will be left speechless.. 24 hour security for the property but at no point did we ever feel "unsafe" in Cartagena. We cooked 2-3 meals a day in the Condo and it had everything you would need to be comfortable, our 10 days stay simply went by too quickly !!!

We are a family of 5 and really enjoyed our stay. The location is just inside the walls making it very easy to watch the incredible sunsets from the top of the walls, but also within walking distance to all of the sights, and quiet away from the hustle & bustle. Having our own pool/deck out back and the larger (shared) pool in front of our condo was lovely in the Cartagena heat! Added bonus being able to use the gym.
A few of the kitchen cabinets could use some upkeep and a dishwasher would be nice but overall this apartment is a great find! If you stay here, absolutely use Ricardo to book your private boat tour to the Rosario Islands. He went above and beyond for us, booking exactly what we wanted (no parties, no vendors on the beach etc) and it was worth the splurge.

This was truly one of the best vacation rentals we've ever experienced. The property itself was beautiful, up-to-date and well-maintained, but what really set this stay apart was all of the "insider information" and high touch customer service that Monica provides her guests. From the daily housekeeping/cooking (heaven!) that she'll set you up with to the tour/activity operator that she recommends (big shout out to Ricardo at GM international!) to her personalized list of favorite restaurants (best dinner ever at Carmen Cartagena!) and shops, we felt completely pampered and taken care of from the moment we stepped off the plane until the moment we had to say goodbye. Monica and her team are so thoughtful and responsive. The customer service we received was as good as it gets. We CANNOT wait to come back!!!

Overall this apartment was a wonderful place to stay. We had issues with the internet disconnecting, which were tended to by the property manager immediately. We loved the location and would recommend this apartment to a friend. Having the private pool was a nice bonus to cool off after a long day exploring the city.
