The large rooms are nice. The staff here is amazing. Especially Miguel at the pool. Daniel and guys at the front door take great care of you and make you feel safe. Special thanks to Mariana, Angie and Sandra for everything you do for us!!! The hotel is a little outdated but for the location off the beach and close to everything it’s a great deal. We are definitely looking forward to staying here again in October.

Buenos días estimada, lamentamos mucho los hechos que haya pasado en nuestro hotel. Infortunadamente y debido a que en su habitación permaneció el cartel de no molestar, no pudimos ingresar a esta, aún cuando se lo solicitamos para poder hacer la revisión de los ácaros. Lastimosamente para nosotros es bastante penoso recibir este tipo de comentarios sobre todo porque quisimos dar solución a su inconveniente y no pudimos hacerlo por no permitirnos ingresar.Esperamos que en una próxima visita nuestro personal pueda ayudarle con sus inconvenientes, siempre y cuando recibamos de su parte la mayor colaboración. Agradecemos mucho su opinión, nos ayuda a trabajar cada día para ser mejores.

It took us a hour to check in, no one spoke English. We paid for the all inclusive yet still were charged for things during check out. The breakfast was ok, lunch and dinner were not good at all, you can only get snack at a certain time which we didn’t even try to see what it was, we used rappi (their food delivery service) several times as well as eating out at restaurants. The bar closed at 6pm (i am pregnant so i could not drink) my fiancé was so confused about what he could or couldn’t get that he rarely ordered. The all inclusive option needs to be explained better, someone that speak English should be on stand by at all times. Close to the walled city, San Diego and beaches. Room was nice and spacious, they decorated for my birthday for an additional $50usd (they do not take USD only Colombian pesos which no one mentioned to me after communicating via whatsapp a good amount of times). The reviews said no hot water but we had hot water, it just takes awhile to heat up. Also i got bit up badly by something. This was my first resort of all the counties/places I’ve been to where i can say i will not be returning.

Dear Msr D’nai. We really apologize for the inconveniences that you had in our hotel, however we want to clarify the following things:• Checking our security cameras, we can see that the delay on your check in was because another people arrived at the same time so my co-worker attended in order of arrival, that's the reason why you had to wait for your room.• Regarding the All-inclusive policies unfortunately it couldn't be explained in English and you can't understood it in Spanish. In Expedia web site says that it may apply restrictions and it have to be explained at the front desk in your check in time, due to the Expedia policies we can't put on the web site the information about the beverage schedule, the snack time, the places where the all-inclusive apply.• Regard to the payment in USD, were accepted them with authorization.• Beside we are very worried about the bit that you said, we want to know what type of bit it was, which animal bit you, how are you feeling at this moment because we didn't know about it during your stay and we didnt give any attention

Good budget friendly Colombian style hotel
It's a very nice hotel, clean with a friendly staff. A few people speak passable English so it's definitely best to be conversational with your Spanish. The rooms could use some light updated but nothing major. The buffet was underwhelming for me personally. But room service was very good for the price. Overall I would visit again. Very close to a lot of amenities.

If I could give less than one star, I would. First, the bed had bedbugs. We noticed it on our last day unfortunately but we were questioning a lot why do our backs ick a lot and we found the reason. That made us so uncomfortable. The AC barely worked, it was turning off every two hours I calculate and as you may know, Cartagena is a hot city so having no AC in the middle of the night is not nice. The breakfast buffet, what a scam. You only have 6 buffets options (which is not bad) but what I pretty disliked was that you have limited amount of food you have to take. It’s understandable in some cases, but in most of the hotels I’ve stayed, I can freely take the food and portions I want, but here, I was limited to only ONE “mini-empanada” or pancake bite. How come? The worst part is that the staff was rude about it and definitely not something you’d appreciate. Talking about Staff, the only people who were actually nice to us were the doorman & two guys from the restaurant. As well, they leave you a bottle of wine with two cups and a ribbon at your room when you first check-in. If you do not see a label, a tag or a menu next to it, you might think that it is a gift but again, they proved me wrong . I do get that in most hotels they leave beverages and drinks but with an added cost, however, in this scenario there was no indicative that it had an extra cost. Overall, I wish I could have stayed somewhere else while in Cartagena but you gotta work it out :)

Dear Mr. Rodriguez. Unfortunately, we were not aware of your mishap until the last day of your stay, so we could not do what was necessary at that time to resolve it. Our hotel has a weekly fumigation service in all areas, in order to prevent this type of inconveniences do not happen to us, however, we apologize for those inconveniences. In our hotel we have sustainability policies among which, we use an energy saving system, through which the ACs, after a certain time of not witnessing movements in the area, raise their temperature.The service we offer in our restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner is an assisted buffet, meaning that there will always be a person in charge of serving you the desired portion, contrary to the open buffet, where everyone serves themselves whatever they want, which is why which, in our restaurant the portions are limited.Regarding the bottle of wine, there have a label indicating their cost, which varies between 50,000 and/or 60,000.Thank you very much for your comment, which we will take into account as an improvement process to be able to provide our respected guests with quality service.We hope you can come back again and thus be able to provide you with our best service.
