Please do not come here. The only reason why this property has a good review is that they they buy their reviews from their locals this place is a dump and it is trash and false advertisement. This hotel looks like is a rundown hotel paint is chipped locals living in the apartments looks so rundown, unsafe, moldy, smelly, and not well-maintained. Staff is terrible, hardly spoke English and give attitude once you question them about the property and paperwork. This property is a scam property. Please be warn not to go. I had to end up booking another hotel because this was false advertisement and it was just trashy. They are not answering my calls because I called for my refund. I spoke to the manager and she said I am able to get it refund through Expedia and Expedia was trying to contact them and they kept not answering and I called and they hanged up on me.

But I like about this property is that anything that I asked they were able to answer my questions. Even though there is a difference in language, everybody was so helpful and whatever my needs were. There was an attached Pharmacy that is open 24 hours so that you can grab a snack or water or anything else you need. Your food is at both restaurants. Onto the beach. Security is awesome. There is always someone there whether or not they belong there. I like to see if people are on the guest list to make sure that they’re getting the free breakfast or if there’s too many people coming in, they don’t allow it.

I enjoyed my stay, the staff was great, especially Eduardo, he was so nice and helpful. The waters at the main restaurant were also great, Jahn and Luis. The things I would suggest are that the bathrooms get updated. Toilets were very uncomfortable, the set up is not ideal. They are also doing construction, they woke me up at 8am one day, spoke to administrators, and they apologized. Overall the stay was good!

My best friend and I stayed here about a week and a half ago. Leading up to the stay, we saw that the hotel offered a shuttle transportation from the airport via their website. I reached out to the hotel via email about three or four weeks before our stay to arrange the shuttle. They replied once to ask for our flight information. I replied and did not hear anything back. I was sort of looking for a confirmation that the shuttle was confirmed. I sent a few follow-ups, and my best friend even tried to reach out as well, and we did not hear back until the day before our flight. Following check-in, our room did not have any towels at all, so we had to request towels. We also requested wash cloths/small towels, but were given hand towels, so I would say that you would need to bring your own washcloth if you decide to stay at this property. Staff were kind, especially the servers and kitchen staff. We got mixed communication about microwaves. On one hand, we were told to ask kitchen staff to use the microwave, But the kitchen staff told us that we could not use the microwave. The property was also doing construction at the time we were there so one of the pools was closed during regular hours. Luckily, we were leaving this day so didn’t have a need to use the pool. The room was decent. The beds were very comfortable! Overall it was a decent stay.

The view was in an open field of trash, very ugly. The buildings were chipping in paint and looked terrible. The room was dusty and not cleaned in parts. It just didn’t feel luxurious like a siesta should feel

I knew by the pictures the property would look nice but to see it in person was even better. The hotel offers 3 pools, 2 restaurants where in can dine, and 2 big bars. From the breakfast to the dinner options everything was amazing. I paid for a birthday package for my wife before our arrival. The room was amazingly decorated, a cake and bottle of champagne through out the day was delivered. The following day of her birthday they separated a table for breakfast and added nice balloons around it! They really made her feel special and that was the #1 goal. I would definitely come back and recommend anyone to stay here.

It’s a great property and great staff ,l must say, but there is two problems I would like to discuss and advise, the bar is outside and we all know Cartagena is a very warm climate (why not a big fan or portable AC) and the gym just one treadmill and step master (waiting in line to use equipment)…..
