Cartagena and related destinations

Wander through a walled colonial city where Caribbean breezes carry salsa music across plazas filled with fruit vendors in impossibly bright dresses. The Clock Tower marks your entrance to the old city, where balconies drip with bougainvillea above streets that seem designed for getting pleasantly lost. Palace of the Inquisition offers history with a macabre twist – torture devices displayed in a building beautiful enough to make you forget their purpose. Escape the afternoon heat at Teatro Heredia, a jewel box of a theatre where performances feel intimate despite the grandeur. When the cobblestones get too hot, retreat to Bocagrande Beach or visit the National Aviary to witness Colombia's extraordinary bird diversity up close.

"WiFi is MID. the way the bathroom is set up (shower wise) water gets everywhere so you’ll need extra towels for the floor. Breakfast options are not. Good. Ambiance is great, pool area (rooftop area/ bar is great. Restaurant on site does close at 3pm, but the rooftop bar is open until 9pm and serves food. Room is great, water pressure is great and hot water is there. Elevator takes forever. Ladies at the front desk are nice. There’s like a nice coffee area that serves coffee and pastries in the lobby which is convenient. Only thing that ruined my trip was not having room service twice back to back so my garbage was full, towels were dirty. I did ask for it to be done but I’m not sure what happened. Not allowed to smoke so keep in mind if you are a smoker. Provides you with an iron, iron board, shower gel, blow dryer, towels, no wash cloths, air conditioners, 2 bottle of water. Has a kitchen and living are space and balcony view. Kitchen has stove with kitchen appliances and utensils."

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is very nice with a great bathroom and a super comfortable bed. The only thing is that the beach is across the street and it’s currently under construction. This means you have to walk a block to the left or right to access the beach. Once you’re on the beach, the vendors are relentless! You have to rent an umbrella/chairs if you haven’t brought your own and there is no way you can relax without someone bothering you. They are even in the ocean wanting to rent you a boogie board! We only went to the beach once because it was that bad and I’m usually someone who will be on the beach all day every day. This isn’t the hotel’s fault but wanted to make other travelers aware."

"We had wonderful stay, The room was clean & WiFi excellent signal. The swimming pool was great for granddaughters 9 & 7. There was Netflix available for our granddaughters to view the favorite shows. The only downside was the lack of furniture, e.g. loveseat sofa & easy chairs to sit and viewed the Cartagena skyline from our stunning view from our 11th floor room. There was one chair for the 4 occupants in our room."
