“The location is ideal, close enough to the old town's lively spots but far from the noise. Staff were gracious and handled every special request easily. The included breakfast alone justifies the stay. The room was beautiful, the bed comfortable, and the rooftop pool with an ocean view made for perfect sunsets. This has become our favorite hotel in Cartagena.”
