Pros:

The hotel is very comfortable. The rooms are spacious, with a balcony and an ocean view. The beds are wide and comfortable. The room has a refrigerator, safe, wardrobe, ironing board, iron, hairdryer, table and chair, and air conditioning. Everything works, everything is great. The bathroom is separated by a separate large section and is spacious, with amenities for the disabled. Hairdryer, shower set. Cleaning every day, soundproofing. Non-smoking floor. The buffet is varied, lots of fruits and vegetables. I liked the soups. On the 4th floor there is a spa, massage, fitness, jacuzzi, and Turkish sauna. Near the hotel there is a beach, cross the road. There are many supermarkets nearby: ARO, D1, many restaurants, a shopping center 500 meters away. The old town is 2.5 km walk or 10 minutes by car. The area is safe, touristy. In the evening it is easy to walk and have fun

Cons:

Everything is ok

Super hôtel avec excellent rapport qualité prix mais pour lequel on ne vient pas profiter de la plage mais plutôt de la
Pros:

La piscine très agréable, les cocktails y sont excellents et le personnel très aimable et aux petits soins pour les clients. Nous avions réservé une suite qui était immense avec deux salles de bains, télé dans chaque chambre, c’était tout simplement parfait pour notre séjour avec un excellent rapport qualité/prix. Le ménage pouvait être fait tous les jours sur demande sinon aux deux jours. Nous avions une cuisinette mais non équipée (pas d’ustensiles ni vaisselle) et le frigo trop petit pour y conserver des aliments (fonction mini bar uniquement).

Cons:

Malheureusement ce n’est pas la faute de l’hôtel mais nous avions une vue sur un immeuble en construction abandonné depuis un certain temps. Nous avions cependant la surprise d’avoir tout de même une vue sur la mer alors que ce n’était pas indiqué lors du choix de la chambre. La plage en face de l’hôtel était également en construction ce qui a rendu l’environnement à proximité de l’hôtel peu agréable. La plage de l’hôtel est surveillé par quelqu’un de l’hôtel ce qui est rassurant, cependant les transats sont vieillots et très peu confortables. La plage n’est pas très propre (beaucoup de tesson de bouteilles) et les vendeurs sont trop insistants pour rendre le temps passé à la plage agréable. De plus, un employé du bar de la plage m’a réclamé 70,000 pesos pour un simple mojito alors qu’après vérification le prix au bar était de 40,000. Demander bien le prix avant de commander un verre sur la plage. Malheureusement pour ces raisons je ne recommande pas cette plage. Pour un court séjour à Carthagène l’hôtel est parfait si on visite la ville en journée et qu’on profite de la piscine en fin de journée (attention elle ferme cependant à 19h).

Comfortable and spacious. Good breakfast. Good value.
Pros:

Very comfortable and specious. My kids had their own room and bathroom.

Cons:

Unable to bring my niece to visit me for a little bit in my room unless paying a one night fee. The lobby area is not suitable to meet with friends.

Good value and specious suite. Breakfast was ok.
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable suite. I was very pleased my kids had their own room and bathroom. Very spacious living room area.

Cons:

If we wanted to bring a guest to our room for a few mi utes there was a 240 thousand person charge or the cost of a night. Ridiculous when the lobby area is not specious enough to have friends come and see you.
