2.6 km from Rosario Islands Oceanarium

"After booking, we repeatedly messaged the hotel for directions and only got a reply at 7:55am on check-in day, telling us the only boat left Cartagena at 8:15am. No way to make it. They then sent a contact for a 9am boat costing 90k + 30k port tax, though cheaper 70k options exist. Given boats run only until 9am and transport can cost as much as two nights’ stay, this should be clearly stated before booking – we could easily have missed the first night. At the hotel, overnight guests have no...

Hotel Caribbean Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"."

Hyatt Regency Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property, it’s well located when it comes to being across the beach and a mall right next door. If you are trying to get to the Historic Center which is where most activities happen you will have to Uber, the favorable thing is that Uber is extremely affordable. I also spent some days at Osh hotel in the Getsemaní area and I would prefer to stay in Hyatt because of the great facility and convenience. The only hiccup we had is that our room was not ready at the check in time @3pm, we waited until 4pm for it. Highly recommend."

Hilton Cartagena

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff was very friendly the entire time. The main pool was under maintenance. The beach is NOT private and is full of vendors all the time. The hotel smells like mold and the air conditioning wouldn't go below 26°C and was making noise."

"Overall the stay was good! I appreciate the early check-in . The location made it easy to access restaurants and beaches in that area. The only area in need of improvement would be the breakfast.
