The front desk staff and the breakfast attendant were absolutely amazing — very courteous and professional. Communication was excellent; they responded quickly to every request.
Breakfast was outstanding, with great quality and a wide variety of options. The pools were beautiful, and you absolutely must watch the sunset from the rooftop pool — it’s breathtaking! Everything was clean, well organized, and even the public restrooms were spotless.
Our room was huge, featuring two balconies, a bathtub, and a rain shower. The bed was super comfortable, and the amenities were fantastic. Honestly, everything was just perfect!
Just keep in mind there are no elevators, but the staff gladly assists with luggage. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

This newly opened boutique hotel is in a great location. The rooms are spacious and decorated with modern, but minimalist facilities. Nice breakfast spread to start the day - located around the pool / water-feature.
Roof top terrace and plunge pool was also pleasant.
No elevators... the staff kindly took all our bags to and from our room on the 3rd floor - the rooftop pool is on the 4th floor. However, its not really very convenient to be left with no choice whether to take the stairs or the elevators. It might be acceptable in a hostel - but not in what is otherwise a pleasant upmarket hotel.
We are fine with "in room" bathroom facilities - but not having ANY door on the toilet is a bit weird!!! Certainly not our preference!

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Palacio del Agua by Faranda Hotels. From check-in to check-out, everything exceeded my expectations. The hotel has a beautiful atmosphere that blends modern elegance with Cartagena’s historic charm.
The room was spacious, very clean, and extremely comfortable. The bed was great, and the design details made the stay feel special and relaxing. One of the highlights was the view—absolutely beautiful and very peaceful, perfect for enjoying the mornings and sunsets while taking in the charm of Cartagena.
What truly stood out was the staff—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with recommendations or any requests. They made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay.
The location is another big plus: close to main attractions, restaurants, and points of interest, yet quiet enough to rest and unwind after a full day exploring the city.
Overall, this hotel offers comfort, great service, stunning views, and a lovely ambiance. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena.

Hotel excelente! Localizado ao lado do parte mais movimentada da cidade amuralhada, porém numa rua mais quieta, sendo bastante silencioso à noite (além disso fica perto das docas, para quem for fazer passeio de barco). Quartos espaçosos e limpos (banheiro enorme). Bom café da manhã. Funcionários todos muito educados e atenciosos (destaque para o Dylan).
Caso volte à Cartagena certamente me hospedarei novamente no hotel.
