This is our second time coming back to stay at this beautiful hotel while in Cartagena. The pool area is absolutely beautiful. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced considering the high quality. We like the location as it is close to tour companies, shopping and restaurants. You can also easily hail a cab to go to the old city. Regarding the rooms, they are always immaculately clean, the beds are extremely comfortable and the service is always excellent. What's not to like???

The 15th floor club was fantastic! Overall a good experience. Some issues with the room: refrigerator did not work--called twice. Finally went in person to the front desk-- they came on the third request. Ironing board completely fell apart. Called once to no avail--- went to the front desk to make the request in person--they came. All the did was leave it standing. When I touched it in order to fold it up gor storage, it completely fell apart again. Staff was very nice.

My only issue was transportation from the airport to hotel. Attempted to make the concierge reservation for a week, but stopped getting responses a few days before arrival. Ended up having to take a taxi (hotel made good by providing a ride to the airport for departure). The bartenders and staff were awesome (Fabian and Jorge were the best!), pool was nice, breakfast was good! 8.5/10
