Excellent stay!! Hotel is beautiful and clean and staff is friendly. Thank you for making our trip a great one !! It is great for those traveling with families. They have rooms that have a king bed and 3 single twin beds for larger families . Breakfast is excellent with many options even for picky ones likes me ! Pool is larger than most other hotel pools. Beach is right across street and nice that there is private section on beach for hotel guests. Exotic animals on hotel property a bonus ! Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to vacation in Cartagena.
