The ac in our room was not working properly and they never came to fix it. The WiFi didn’t work properly. There was a small mini bar near the pool but nothing was given to us in our room fridge. When we checked in it took more than an hour for us to be helped even though they saw us with suitcases. The cleaning lady took forever to clean the room and forgot to give us clean towels. We came back one day at 5pm and the room had not been cleaned.

I’ve been to other resorts and even the one in San andres which is the same name and owner I believe is 100 times better than the one in Cartagena. It was the worse experience I had.. towels were extremely old and the over charge for those old towels if something happened to them (you cannot imagen). I asked staff for multiple essential things such an iron since day one, we’ll never got it in the 5 days I stayed there. All inclusive??? There’s no water something as essential as water no you have to go and ask for a 6 oz cup of water (this is very important for someone that don’t drink alcohol) keep in mind to give bottles of water and have some in the room even if you charge some extra dollars it would be much better… The cleaning lady for the room was great, as well as the people in the dinning area they were always helpful.. ohhh almost forgot don’t even think about going inside the pool area if you are not going into the water or going in with a towel because if not you are not allow to go in… good luck staying in this “RESORT” if I were you I would not. Instead go to the one in San andres :) highly recommended.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay, we didn’t encounter any issues and the staff was friendly. This is an all inclusive, however, the liquor/ cocktail servings were really small, the food was well prepared but it wasn’t anything special. The price was low in comparison to the other hotels, so it was no surprise that it wasn’t as nice as the other places we have stayed before.

Everything was fine. Well, it is a three-star hotel. The only bad thing is that they don't have something different from the buffet. In the hotel description it says that there are two a la carte restaurants but my mom never saw them. My niece got her period and stained the bed and they wanted to charge her for changing the sheet. My mom washes it by hand.

The AC was not working correctly and the never had enough towels. Food was very plain no taste and it look like they were over whelmed by the people. Swimming pool was to small by the amount of people and very limited time to use the pool. In all very bad choice for me and my girlfriend.

Facilities are quiet worn out and the rooms are very poorly maintained. We were moved 2 times. 1st a/c not working, 2nd beds were broken. Finally they gave us an upgrade to an ocean view however a/c was a bit low and the room kept getting warm specially during the afternoon times since the sun hit directly through the windows. Food was good, entertainment was good and the end we managed to have an ok stay at the hotel.

I could write a whole book about my experience, worst hotel ever, we had to leave the hotel in less than 2 hours. - there is no snack bar, there was only a lady handing out potatos, that was the snack bar no other snack. - we got a room on 15th floor and only one elevator was working, we had to wait 5 minutes for the elevator to arrive. -the AC was not working, I called the front desk 3 times and nobody helped me. -no internet at all, as soon as we checked in they gave us a paper to enroll 4 devices, we I try my computer I got less than 1MB when connect but then got disconnected and I was unable to connect again. -when we asked for towels, the towels were dirty, stained and torn. - we talked to the manager (Lida González) about us leaving and she said I will help and she listen all of our arguments, 3 days later Expedia said the hotel refused to do the cancellation because they offered another room, which they never did, she said one thing and did the other, also changing a room would not fix all the issues. -finally Expedia did not help either, they offered me $300 credit with them and I had to book another hotel and pay for all the meals of my family, the only time I needed help from Expedia they did not help, we did not cause any expense to the hotel as we left in less than 2 hours, worst hotel EVER!!!

Absolutely Horrible! Stay away!
The most expensive hotel I stayed in while in Cartagena and by far the worst hotel experience I’ve had in my life! Shabby buildings and rooms. Totally disorganized check in. Took about 1 hour. Incredibly rude and unhelpful staff. Room was the worst. Crayon markings on furniture, no working air conditioning (80 degrees F in the room),no working wifi or television. No running hot water! Nothing came out of the faucet. Told front desk about the issues and they said they would send someone, but never did. Staff literally detained us upon checking out and would not let us leave hotel for some unknown reason that no one on staff could explain to us. Security staff literally grabbed our bags and would not let us leave although we had already checked out and were waiting for an Uber to the airport. Isn’t this illegal?! After over 20 minutes, some lobby guy (manager? I hope not) said it was a mixup and we could leave. Management and many hotel staff should be fired! The absolute worst hotel experience I have ever had and I travel a lot! Horrible! Stay away!
