This is my first time in Cartagena. The location of this hotel is super awesome for four reasons: many beaches in front of the hotel, 5 minutes walking from famous Letras de Cartagena, 25-30 minutes walking from Walls of Cartagena “old historical city” and very close to airport (5-10 minutes away by car).
The hotel has a yummy buffet breakfast on the second floor. I loved to eat on the balcony and I welcomed couple of birds joining me as guests. The breakfast has many options … I loved the soup.
The room was modern but small. It had air condition, safe, TV, and free wifi. My room was supposed to have a view on the ocean but it is difficult to enjoy the view as windows are locked… you cannot open them. The hallway of the floor was very dirty during all four days of my stay.
I loved hotel’s luggage storage before check in and after check out. The hotel has an outdoor shower as well. My main challenge is the service desk… they all spend more time looking into their screens rather than smile, eye contact, and offer help. I asked one of them about shopping and she told me that I need to go downtown even for food. I found an ara store just outside the hotel for water and juice. I also used the adjacent restaurant for yummy food and spectacular view. I took a taxi for 7 minutes ride to the Mallplaza Cartagena.
The night is very active around this hotel especially near the Letras de Cartagena as you see many party buses stopping for photos.
