Personale disponibile e servizievole
Pros:

Il personale dell'hotel e' fantastico, gentili, attenti. Eravamo lí per una gara di ginnastica di una delle mie figlie e ci hanno fatto trovare in stanza un piatto con della frutta e un messaggio di complimenti per lei. Questi sono dettagli che fanno molto piacere. Sono anche stati molto flessibili con noi. Dovevamo uscire presto per la gara e ci hanno aiutato con una colazione da portare via. Sempre allegri e sorridenti. Ci siamo sentiti a casa.

Cons:

Consiglio di accendere le piscine la mattina presto, per cambiare l'acqua. E di sostituire le fodere delle sdraio (che ora sono di spugna e si vedono un po' vecchie e macchiate) con qualcosa di piu igienico. Perché non danno idea di pulito. Anche gli asciugamani per gli ospiti andrebbero un po' rinnovati. E gli ombrelloni della zona piscina sul tetto sono rotti e non si aprono.

Beautiful local stay in Cartagena
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, has great pools for the kids, a delicious breakfast and stunning courtyard and rooftop. The staff were so friendly and kind. It’s also well located and a close walk to everything but on a quiet street.

Prachtig hotel op een hele mooie locatie. Een aanrader!
Pros:

Heel mooi hotel met heel vriendelijk personeel, heerlijk ontbijt en fijne faciliteiten. Zwembad op het dak is erg prettig en Herman die elke dag aanwezig bij het ontbijt is een super vent zoals alle medewerkers die allemaal heel vriendelijk zijn. Locatie van het hotel is ook top.

Pros:

Best hotel I have ever been to. The pools, the patios and the room. It is just so beautiful!!!
Breakfast was great, it was buffet. We explained the staff about my son's celiac disease and they gave him everything fresh from the back. He was very happy.
