This hotel is super clean. The staff is super friendly. It was my friend’s birthday and the staff went up the room with a cake and sang Happy birthday. That was a very nice surprise! The hotel is close to everything. The pool area is well kept and is a vibe. Is great after walking around in the Cartagena heat. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family. 10/10
