2.0 / 10.0
We were on vacation in December last year and everything was perfect.
Now we have been there for a week, we traveled from New York and another family of friends from Chile.
The experience this time was very bad and these are the points that made us most uncomfortable:
1. They gave us a dirty room, the fridge was empty and when my wife asked them about the room and the fridge they told her she had to wait until the next day.
2. My friend from Chile asked for chicken grile and that please be breast and the waiter told her that that decision was up to the Chef.
3.We go to the restaurant for dinner and the waiter, an elderly man, comes reluctantly to serve us and does not give us all the options on the menu, as if he wanted us to not eat anything and leave.
4. I go to deliver the towels and the person in charge tells me that if I didn't deliver them on time, then I would be parked as if I had stolen them.
5. A waitress who was there at the time argued with me saying that we Latinos pay attention to things that don't matter and that the rules of the hotel must be enforced.
My conclusion:
Is it really a 5 star hotel, or are they lying to us, this service and these things never happen in a real 5 star hotel where we have been in the USA and other countries.
Never an employee such as a waitress should argue with any guest.
Never in any 5 star hotel do they go after guests for a towel.
The rooms should never be dirty and the refrigerator or mini bar should never be empty.

The staff were all friendly, nice, helpful and polite. Jose Castillo was superb and there was an older person at the restaurant tall and slim that went out of his way to please us for our breakfast.
The building we stayed in was ok, however our bedroom needed to be cleaned. I walked once without my shoes and my feet were all black underneath. You can feel the dirt. The bathroom shower was dirty as well. I had to go buy sandals to be able to take a shower.
One unique thing they did was that my friend was celebrating her birthday and when we came to the room they had a birthday cake for her. That was very sweet and special.
I rate them with an overall 7 points, because the room we stayed in did not seemed to go with the rest of the beautiful buildings. I humbly suggest that rooms be inspected and/or the bathroom need some remodeling.

The property is pretty centrally located. Tons of food options within walking distance. In the evening, the pick up for chiva buses is directly across the street. The rooms ac did not work properly but they accommodated and offered to switch us to a different room. We declined and requested fans and it solved the problem. The food and drinks were delicious! Breakfast was very good! We saw tons of animals roaming the property. My son held a sloth that kept coming to visit the pool area. Everyone of the staff members are seen working hard all day and are extremely polite and helpful. If I return to Cartagena again with my family if 4, I would return to Hotel Caribe. The pools were perfect for the kids!

The hotel is beautiful. I loved the rainforest vibe. I have it 4 stars because several outlets did not work in our room and compared to other rooms our group reserved, ours did not have a rug and was outdated.
4.0 / 10.0
No hot water!! AC blows low capacity and not cold air. Had to use fan to circulate air which got us sick at end of trip. Had to change room 3 times before getting a decent room, without hot water and poor AC. Subpar check in. Only good thing is breakfast and pool was decent. Some staff very nice. Otherwise, would not go back.

We stayed here for three days on a family trip. Our kids loved the wildlife on site and the pools. The restaurant near the pool has decent food. Overall, the hotel is in a good location and the history of the building itself is fascinating.

Incident where we brought pizza to hotel and were made to eat it in room, not in common areas (outside of restaurant areas). This was wrong and disrespectful.

Caribe is an amazing hotel! I was apprehensive about booking this hotel based on several bad reviews that I read. I'm here to tell you to BOOK IT NOW! The hotel is a historic jewel. It has a vintage vibe that may be off-putting for some but what it lacks in modernization it makes up for in amenities. The rooms are not fancy but they are clean, comfortable, and a decent size. The grounds, however, are totally glorious! The landscaping is beautifully manicured, there are several amazing pools and hot tubs, the dining area is picturesque, the breakfast buffet is tasty, the staff are attentive, and the property is practically a zoo for well kept exotic animals. There is not a better resort in Colombia for this price point. I plan on returning to Colombia just to stay here again.

This is one of the best hotels I've visited period. Given that, this hotel was the site for filming a scene of the show "Betty La Fea" and for the beauty queen pageant.
The staff here is amazing and so kind to make you feel at home. The amount of things to do, such as the pool, sauna, sun tanning, isn't even scratching the surface. It is quite literally next to Boca Grande beach.
The best of all for me is the different animals on the premises such as macaws, sloths, and deers.
Highly recommended. I'll be returning here almost exclusively any time I come to Cartagena.
