A great place

This is a great place for a stay in Cartagena. The service is incredible. The rates are reasonable. Access to the beach is easy with a safe and private area before reaching the actual beach, making it very stress free. The food was great and food/drink prices were reasonable. Access to the rest of Cartagena was simple as well.

I paid for two rooms, when we arrived one of the rooms didn't have a towel, the other room's bathroom was completely dirty, the bathtub was dirty, we also left a bag of things I had bought and when I returned to my room after the walk I found it open and with fewer things.

I've been coming here for over 20 years. Many good new changes! New pools, Jacuzzis, new bars. The breakfast buffet is the best by far! My only complaint is that there were no hooks or towel rods anywhere. But i love this place. Will keep coming back.
