Foi um sonho ficar hospedada aqui
Pros:

O hotel é muito bem localizado - perto de tudo, e ao mesmo tempo, numa rua tranquila. Aquiles e Tifany foram ótimos hosts, mas a verdade é que todos os funcionários são atenciosos e gentis. O café da manhã é muito gostoso. O quarto era confortável e haviam duas piscinas para os hóspedes. O hotel é lindo. O pagamento no cartão é realizado no checkin e não cobram taxa extra por isso como outros hotéis. Quando fizemos checkout, nos ofereceram guardar nossas malas caso ainda fôssemos ficar mais tempo na cidade antes de partir. Fica a menos de 10 minutos da Torre do Relógio, fizemos todos os passeios à pé desde o hotel. Amei meus dias em Cartagena hospedada ali :)

Cons:

Tudo foi ótimo

Valeu a pena!!!
Pros:

Gostei muito de tudo.

Cons:

Ter um frigobar no apartamento. A agua era pouca no chuveiro e poderia ser melhor regulada pois demoravamos um pouco para encontrar o ponto certo. Ficava muito quente.
