Everything was fine. Well, it is a three-star hotel. The only bad thing is that they don't have something different from the buffet. In the hotel description it says that there are two a la carte restaurants but my mom never saw them. My niece got her period and stained the bed and they wanted to charge her for changing the sheet. My mom washes it by hand.

Los snaks de muy baja calidad, solo hay un bartender en hora pico y la fila es larga, al momento del checkout no se puede utilizar más la piscina, para las personas q tienen vuelo en la noche queda uno sin saber q hacer con este calor, y para quedarse en el hotel hasta las 5:00 pm el pasadía cuesta $60.000 por persona, es demasiado costoso para sólo quedarse en la piscina

Facilities are quiet worn out and the rooms are very poorly maintained. We were moved 2 times. 1st a/c not working, 2nd beds were broken. Finally they gave us an upgrade to an ocean view however a/c was a bit low and the room kept getting warm specially during the afternoon times since the sun hit directly through the windows. Food was good, entertainment was good and the end we managed to have an ok stay at the hotel.

Absolutely Horrible! Stay away!
The most expensive hotel I stayed in while in Cartagena and by far the worst hotel experience I’ve had in my life! Shabby buildings and rooms. Totally disorganized check in. Took about 1 hour. Incredibly rude and unhelpful staff. Room was the worst. Crayon markings on furniture, no working air conditioning (80 degrees F in the room),no working wifi or television. No running hot water! Nothing came out of the faucet. Told front desk about the issues and they said they would send someone, but never did. Staff literally detained us upon checking out and would not let us leave hotel for some unknown reason that no one on staff could explain to us. Security staff literally grabbed our bags and would not let us leave although we had already checked out and were waiting for an Uber to the airport. Isn’t this illegal?! After over 20 minutes, some lobby guy (manager? I hope not) said it was a mixup and we could leave. Management and many hotel staff should be fired! The absolute worst hotel experience I have ever had and I travel a lot! Horrible! Stay away!

The worst hotel for the money.
The worst hotel I HAVE EVER stayed in. I mean for the price I paid (almost $200). Give me this hotel for $40-50 and I’ll say it’s ok. But not for $200. I mean rooms are horrible. Service is non-existent. Again, I repeat, worst hotel I’ve ever stayed, and that’s not hyperbole.

THE WORST
This was by far the worst hotel i have seen in business. It compares to a very cheap hotel. There was mold everywhere. We preferred not to look for things wrong because we kept finding them. Stains, hair, hand print marks, stench…. It had it all. The elevators were broken. The front staff was painfully slow. I would never recommend of go back.
