Good Hotel with lots of opportunities for growth

The hotel is in fair condition, specially for its age. Very eco-friendly with lots of open spaces. In our opinion, very well suited for families, but probably not for young singles looking for fun. Staff is friendly, though, in a couple of occasions, we encounter one or two with a bit of an attitude. Though, for the large number of staff, they should be considered as an outlier. As a positive feedback, the Hotel's Management should be more focus on improving the guests experience. Few examples: 1. Restaurant does not have a wine list (simple item, but for a 5-start hotel, the restaurant w/o a wine list is kind of awkward). 2. No Animation Team, at least 1 or 2 high energy folks would make the place rock, and guests wanting to come back. 3. The pools and several of the jacuzis do NOT provide a safe and easy way to get into or out from the water, specially for Seniors and young children (e.g., No Handrails, No swimming pool that has a gradual slope that allows you to walk directly into the pool without steps or a ladder, or at a minimum steps). 4. For the size, tradition, and quality of the hotel, the Hotel should have an impressive bar near or by the main lobby, where guests can mingle at any time of the day for coffee and/or drinks (we think this is a big business opportunity. Definitively, they have the space for it).

I liked the animals on the property. It is a pretty Hotel, but very expensive. I flew in from the states and drinks and deserts were expensive. Along with just a bottle of water. Service took FOREVER. The waiters were so slow and it took 30 min just to get drinks. Than another just to get out expensive bill. I hate that they already include gratuity in your bill. This was my first time in Cartegenia, Colombia and this hotel, but I can say it's my last. I will not recommend this hotel.

Overall Beautiful resort , the rooms are a bit dated but not a big deal. They had a smart TV which was great! The breakfast buffet was OK. The pools were amazing! Definitely felt safe on the resort, many security guards were present externally and internally. Would recommend for a solo traveler for (safety purposes) couple or family.
