The restaurant chef whipped up delicious local favorites, made to order, and the piña coladas were nice and cold!

"After booking, we repeatedly messaged the hotel for directions and only got a reply at 7:55am on check-in day, telling us the only boat left Cartagena at 8:15am. No way to make it. They then sent a contact for a 9am boat costing 90k + 30k port tax, though cheaper 70k options exist. Given boats run only until 9am and transport can cost as much as two nights’ stay, this should be clearly stated before booking – we could easily have missed the first night. At the hotel, overnight guests have no...

Mood Matuna Hotel Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful"

Sofitel Barú Cartagena

Hyatt Regency Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"It’s the best hotel in Cartagena."

Hotel OZ Grand

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a beautiful location, and one of the highlights was actually the restaurant directly across the street—they had some of the best fish we ate during our entire stay in Cartagena. There was definitely a language barrier at times, which made it difficult to call the front desk and ask for certain things because we didn’t always understand each other. However, we were in Colombia, so I completely understand that Spanish is the primary language and I don’t hold that against the hotel. My biggest issue was the inconsistent information from the staff. The bellboys would tell us one thing, while the reception staff would tell us something completely different. That caused some unnecessary confusion during our stay. Breakfast was also very limited if you’re vegetarian. There was fruit, but many of the pastries and other breakfast items contained meat, so there weren’t many options available. As far as amenities, there really weren’t many at the hotel, so I’m not sure what amenities guests would actually be able to take advantage of. Overall, the location was beautiful and convenient, but clearer communication between staff members and more vegetarian breakfast options would have made the experience much better."

10/10 Excellent

"The room needed updating but I was a happy customer."
