This is one of the best hotels I've visited period. Given that, this hotel was the site for filming a scene of the show "Betty La Fea" and for the beauty queen pageant. The staff here is amazing and so kind to make you feel at home. The amount of things to do, such as the pool, sauna, sun tanning, isn't even scratching the surface. It is quite literally next to Boca Grande beach. The best of all for me is the different animals on the premises such as macaws, sloths, and deers. Highly recommended. I'll be returning here almost exclusively any time I come to Cartagena.

Very good location, pool facilites, sauna options, private space on the beach are strong assets of the hotel. Breakfast place gets crowded, no tables available around 9am, though breakfast time is wide from 6am to 11am so it is a matter to get organozed.

The property was unique and stunningly beautiful. Although I wasn’t able to speak the native language, communication was easy. I was pleasantly surprised to see unique animals on the property. The breakfast was awesome. My name was remembered and used when there was wants or desires as if I was rich or famous. I was impressed.The whole experience inspired me to stay on the property and enjoy its grandeur. I will revisit.
