Rooms are quite small but the bath towels are enormous. For a couple with luggage it would be cramped. One person can manage Administration and all the employees very kind and helpful.

Amazing hotel. All the staff were so kind and helpful. We arrived at 10:30am on the day of check in and they were able to get us into a room right away and even a free upgrade! We appreciated this so much as we had been travelling through the night. You can also really see that the hotel pays attention to customer feedback because before booking I read a review that mentioned that their were no umbrellas by the pool area but for our stay there was so they must have added them. The breakfast was very good so much selection and the staff was so attentive. They also allowed us to check out an hour and a half later then scheduled because we had an evening flight. No complaints about this hotel and I will definitely return next time I visit Cartagena.

This is a place for a people that they want to stay quiet peacefully with excellent service, for my wife and me was the perfect place plus the breakfast that is more that you can expect and the administration is very compromised with the excellency. If you don want to get and keep family concept, this is the place and you can go everywhere and the personal is Excellent.
