Isla Fuerte Pet-friendly Vacations

Great location, this hotel did not disappoint!

I had a mixed experience in this hotel. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is convenient, and the room itself was clean. However, the building is quite old and unfortunately shows its age. There was a strong mold smell in the rooms. The sheets and towels were clean but very worn out and yellowed, which didn’t give a great feeling of freshness. The breakfast was excellent — definitely the highlight of the stay.

We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it. We were mostly impressed with the staff, especially Daniel, during our stay. He was incredibly attentative. I think it is worth staying overnight here rather than a day trip, as when the day trippers leave it is very tranquil. If you do not like birds, we would not recommend, but I found the frigate birds incredible to see up close! We took a short trip to the main island and Daniel gave us a tour of the local villages - this was also a great experience. A great place to really switch off and relax.

Great location! Staff were very polite and the hotel was quiet, clean, and very comfortable.

Perfect location, friendly and kind staff. Local craftsmanship in architectural details. Very comfortable bedding for a great night’s sleep. Pleasantly surprised by an upgrade which gave us our private outdoor jacuzzi and patio!!

Very convenient area near Getsemani , lots of shopping a places to eat . There is no Hotel signage in the front of the building which we were made aware of ,so we have to tell the Uber driver to drop us off at the banks entrance ( hotel lobby is on the 5th floor) the front entrance smelled of urine which is not the hotels fault and a homeless person was sleeping several feet away . The guards at the entrance were very friendly . Otherwise the hotel itself is nice , we had very good breakfast ( although breakfast sitting area is limited and only have 2 tables ) since there were 6 of us and occupied 2 tables ,other guest have to take there breakfast and eat in there room , they did provide them with a tray. Our room was spacious and clean and had a beautiful view of the clock tower . Only suggestions we have is to put a mirror in the room , the girls have to wait for someone to finish using the restroom to use the mirror.

Charleston Santa Teresa Hotel has all the positives expected of a 5 star hotel: impeccable residence, superb food and restaurant, amazing architecture both internal and out - - - - - What I appreciate MOST about Charleston Santa Teresa is the pleasures of a 5 star resort without ANY of the pretentiousness or snobbery which is usually associated with luxury. I would highlight the staff of the hotel most of all as being friendly, involved, respectful, understanding, polite, and appropriate. - - - I am a traveler who presents as an adult aged woman of color, I felt welcomed in the Santa Teresa. There was zero being questioned about my stay. There was no being treated as if I were expected or encouraged to leave. No one, not fellow guests nor staff, questioned me nor made me feel unwelcome. My stay was divine. I will stay here the next time I travel to this area. I will recommend the Santa Teresa to anyone and I strongly encourage you to stay there.

It was a nice hotel however out of the way for activities and excursions. Getting there was scary at night as there are no lights on the road leading to the resort

One of the most luxurious hotels I have visited. The staff treated me like I was a member of the family and I am truly appreciative of everyone I met.

Casa Carolina is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Cartagena’s Old City. The location is unbeatable—you can walk everywhere and never need an Uber. With only 15 rooms, it feels like staying in a private home, and the pool is gorgeous. The staff and service were amazing—truly one of the highlights of our stay. A few things to note: the wellness-style menu is healthy but doesn’t offer many snack options. Street performers outside (especially drummers) can be very loud at night, though they’re usually gone by 11 PM. At checkout, they asked for a 10% tip on the entire stay, which felt a little uncomfortable—we only tipped on food and beverage. Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons. We would definitely stay again for the location, the charm, and the incredible staff.
