Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is nothing like what’s described on Expedia. The buildings look old, and the rooms feel dusty and outdated. There are no real amenities in the room—just two glass bottles of water, and it’s unclear whether they’re being refilled or replaced. The “all‑inclusive” offering is also misleading. The buffet is open for breakfast and lunch with the same menu every day. Dinner service is inconsistent; although the buffet was open on my arrival day (Sunday), it was closed the following evening. Guests are required to make reservations for dinner at one of the on‑site restaurants and reservations are difficult to secure due to constant “fully booked” notices on the website. On a positive note, the hotel’s beachfront location, along with the availability of chairs and umbrellas, made for a relaxing day by the water. The multiple pools were also a highlight. Those parts were enjoyable, but overall the stay did not match what was advertised.

Tropical Paradise

The property was beautifully landscaped, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. There were cats and dogs (birds,iguanas, crabs and a snake!) on property but they seemed healthy and well cared for. The food and drinks were good and a lot of variety.

Friendly staff. Loved how clean the property was. Well maintained. Loved seeing after every meal the cleaning process started. Done well ! Beach clean and safe. Security always around. Well lit at night. Lots of birds and palm trees. Loved the quiet adult only pool. Nice jazz music at breakfast and in the main desk sitting area. Highly recommend this all inclusive resort.

Clean. Good service. Mediocre food. Limited all-inclusive. Some goodies had to be purchased. Too much on the q codes. Reserve this, reserve that. Too beholden to check-in and check-out hours. I.e. arrive early, have to pay for food.

If you are looking for an all inclusive in Cartagena then look no further. Not many hotels in the area offer all inclusive like in other countries. This hotel is located on the beach which is the best thing since it is semi private. As a tourist trust me this is what you want. Public beaches are crowded and full of vendors trying to hustle you. The food is plenty and all day so you never go hungry. It has two large pools thatvare well maintained. One for planned activities, children, and pool parties. The other side is great for reading and relaxing which is considered the quiet area. The only downside is the pools do close at 7pm, and they clear you off the beach at 6pm sharp. Perhaps since it's family friendly environment. I have been to other all inclusive in other countries and you have access until 10pm. Another downside is not everyone speaks English so you should brush up on your Spanish or have your Google translate ready. I speak Spanish so it didn't affect me much, but I can see others struggling. The staff is friendly. The rooms are clean. Only downside no streaming services on the TVs so bring your firestick . They just have local cable. The last thing a foreigner should know it is located outside Boca Grande and the walled city. It is ab

Pros: food was great and they do a fantastic job at encouraging guests to not waste food. Pet-friendly (even with strays). The staff was friendly and accommodating. We were allowed an early check-in -- it took 3 hours -- but we were grateful for allowing us to enter the room early. They also tried their best to accommodate a late checkout but they were fully booked and we could see how busy the hotel was. They also provide a shuttle service to town free of charge which was very helpful. Cons: There is nothing to do outside the hotel area. The Entertainment team and activities lacked creativity and budget.

Would NOT recommend!! Look elsewhere for accommodations in Colombia Pros- beautiful ocean side property with 2 pools. Lunch was good had fresh fruits and fresh juices that were good. Also locations was close to the airport so that was convenient. Drinks were good and strong. Cons Property is outdated with thin walls. No hot water on the first night. Staff does not speak English. I encountered maybe 5 people who spoke English fluently. Very frustrating that more staff aren’t trained to speak English. It appears as though primarily Colombians come to this resort and they obviously cater more to them so maybe that’s why. Even though location was decent being close to the airport and about 20 minutes from the city there is so much construction going on that our uber drivers kept getting lost trying to get back to the property Food was so limited in options. Buffet was available for breakfast and lunch but not dinner. Dinner was limited to 3 restaurants and they weren’t always all open. We had to leave the resort for good food at dinner. Not many American food choices. There was almost no entertainment. The resort was quiet for most of the time we were there until the weekend when it started to liven up a bit. On the last night of our trip they declined alcohol due to some law that alcohol was prohibited during Colombian elections despite the fact that I already paid for it as an all inclusive package. They refused to reimburse me. Awful establishment I won’t be back!
