Verified traveler
Excellent stay in Cartegena with our husband and kids! If you want a unique experience that feels more authentically Colombian I recommend caribe with flying colors! Breakfast is a nice perk and an opportunity to eat and try Colombian food! Staff were extremely nice and very responsive. The pool was amazing for my kids. The hotel is located near everything if you want to see more in Cartegena outside of the walled city. We took very inexpensive cabs to the walled city and other parts of Cartegena during our 5 day stay.

The hotel itself was a luxurious property filled with many amenities and views including a wildlife reserve where you’re greeted by many friendly animals. The staff also were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and made my friends and I feel like part of their family. Would highly recommend for solo or family stays.

Discrepancy with room
My stay overall was great, my only complaint is that I booked a 1 bedroom suite, but instead I was given just a regular suite with a king bed. By the time the discrepancy I only had one day left on my trip so I figured it was best I just stay with the room I was in
