Pros:

Localização excelente, próximo a diversos restaurantes e comércio e alguns minutos de carro para o centro histórico de Cartagena. O quarto que fiquei era espaçoso, com camas confortáveis e tinha uma TV de led grande com possibilidade de acesso a streaming.

Cons:

O café da manhã, apesar de ser supostamente buffet, oferecia poucas opções. Havia sempre um funcionário para servir os hóspedes. Não havia queijo todos os dias. Duas opções de frutas. Num certo dia, ao tentar pegar mais frutas, a pessoa que estava servindo reclamou que eu estava pegando muito, que iria acabar as frutas e que ainda tinha pessoas para serem servidas. Foi a primeira vez que isso aconteceu comigo. No quarto, o AC é bem barulhento, mas não foi um problema pra dormir.

Fue cómodo y tranquilo.
Pros:

La comodidad de las habitaciones

Cons:

El desayuno muy por debajo de las expectativas. Contaron los pedazos de fruta, los panes, todo muy estricto y poca cantidad. Debería ser tipo buffet.
