We chose this hotel to stay during a layover. Its proximity to the airport is a major bonus, but if you’re making Cartagena your destination, this area of town is really not the place to stay. There are much trendier and historic neighborhoods and there are other beaches that are prettier but overall for what it was the hotel had great staff, clean rooms and nice pools.

The AC was the best thing in my room lol It’s so hot in Cartagena and most places don’t have AC so it was nice to come back after a long day to a nice cold room. Breakfast was delicious, staff were friendly and professional. The pool area was awesome! Loved the hotel, will definitely come back here for sure!
