VOLVERIA A OJOS CERRADOS. El hotel es maravilloso, las instalaciones y cada uno de los lugares eran preciosos. El personal siempre atento, los animales (ciervos, osos perezoso, guacamayos, tucanes, pavo real) dan un toque hermoso a cada lugar sobre todo en nuestro caso que viajamos con mi hijo de 3 años, se ven bien cuidados y a pesar de andar sueltos no se ve suciedad ni nada. Las piscinas son comodas, limpias y hay 6 de distintos tamaños. Los restaurants sirven comida abundante y sabrosa, a costo acorde al hotel obvio. Lo recomiendo a ojos cerrados si viajas en familia y sobre todo con niños. Si bien el hotel no tiene playa privada, tienes acceso directo a su club y playa a su costado, es bastante tranquilo, lo recomiendo. El desayuno es variado y abundante, jugos frescos y comida tipica.
Mejoraria el area de juegos y niños, desde el punto de vista de la decoración y de las actividades propuestas.

La arquitectura del hotel es preciosa. Se siente el caribe! No como en otros hoteles de lujo que son solo un edificio. La piscina tiene la temperatura perfecta. La atención del personal hace que te sientas como de la realeza. Es delicioso despertar con el canto de las aves que tienen al cuidado del hotel. La playa privada es excepcional. El desayuno buffet es de lo mejores que he probado. Las cortesías que dan elevan la experiencia a otro nivel. Sin duda el mejor hotel de Cartagena!
El gimnasio podría mejorar bastante en cuanto a estado de maquinas y espacio, considero que ya se está quedando algo corto para la categoría del hotel.
Los precios de consumo en los productos del hotel, más que todo comidas y bebidas, son bastante elevados.

Hotel com excelente área de lazer, ótimas piscinas, restaurantes, bom café da manhã, estrutura de resort porém não tem pensão completa ou all inclusive, uma pena.
Apartamentos precisam de reforma, o meu teve um problema no ar-condicionado mas resolveram rapidamente, paredes precisam de pinturas. Na Colombia as férias escolares são diferentes do Brasil então, para janeiro, estava bem cheio, mas creio que isso é bom para eles.

Excellent location, spacious, comfortable, lots of beds at the pool and a safe space by the beach. It was clean and all indoor places had blasting AC to beat the 107F weather. To get to my room, there was no indoor passage, so the 3min walk was heavy on the heat hahaha.
Food was good, buffet breakfast and lunch, and a l carte dinner. Optional all inclusive or pay per meal. Lunch and Dinner were typically around $35 per person. I consider it a little pricey considering so many restaurants nearby, but the food was good and the comfort worth it.
Room was good, bed was fairly comfortable, and the shower pressure was good. Hotel provides shampoo, conditioner, soap, bath gel, hair dryer, and safe in the closet. The spa is small but with different massage services, Turkish bath and hot tub.
The room is equipped with a mini bar with drinks and snacks, at “hotel price”, good to get when in a rush, but I suggest walking out to the pharmacy less than 2 blocks away that is open 24 hours. You’ll get the same at more than half the price.
The bellboys at the entrance are so helpful and very kind, either helping you or guiding you around the hotel. They also assist in getting you a taxi to get around.
The hotel is well located by Bocagrande beach (hotel has a private area with lounge chairs and restaurant), and close by to the city with restaurants, souvenir shops, pharmacies and stores. There is also a small shopping mall within walking distance.
There wasn’t an indoor passage to the building with rooms. Front desk could be more attentive and informative.

The pool area and the location
Requested a garden view, had to keep window shut the whole time because it was on the main floor and where the workers were working, you were also able to see the main road . Also did not like the bathroom, there wasn’t a space to place soap after use

Las instalaciones un 10/10. De los hoteles con piscinas más grandes en Cartagena y nada que envidiar a resorts de otros lugares.
Algunas habitaciones necesitan remodelación pero ya está en curso

Property was amazing! Loved the garden and animals that reside there. Rooms were a little dated, but clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was cold and property was located in a great location and secure. I felt very safe there. Staff was hospitable and friendly.
My only complaint is the food is bland and there should be more options available. Pizza was good though!

It was not clean, the room was dirty, bathroom full of mold and dust. With the heat they should have done outdoors fans outside. The staff was not friendly. Lobby was dusty.

Excellent service all round, hotel is very complete with the facilities and with the nature surrounding makes it very relaxing
Pool can get busy & beach not that special. But as well as pool you have the 3 other smaller pools/whirlpool

Great pool. Amazing animals. Large and comfortable rooms. Baths! Beautiful room decoration for birthday!
The person selling the tours (separate window, could be an independent company) did not speak English and we had trouble understanding each other.

amazing location, good breakfast, great staff
due to aging and lack of maintenance (especially in bathrooms) you can get the impression of an old building

Beautiful grounds with exotic animals on site (macaws, peacocks, sloths, deer). Very nice pool and good breakfast.
Broken glass in our room on floor left by cleaning person. We told management and felt they dealt with it well and to our satisfaction.
Not enough electrical outlets in the room. No light over shower/bathtub in our bathroom. First room we got the a/c was not working but they switched our rooms quickly.

The Hotel in all, from the grounds to the staff. Everything was great, people in the staff went out of their way to make you feel welcomed.
I would say that some wooden furniture need to get fleece or cork in the legs of the chairs to be more quiet when moved around.

Nothing to dislike. Everything is great.

Facilities were old, room was dirty, windows were so old that we could hear the air blowing. Swimming Pool staff very impolite and rude
