In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Prime beachfront location in Bocagrande — Steps from the beach and close to restaurants and shopping malls, with the old town a short walk away.
  • Panoramic ocean views from many rooms — Superior and suite categories often look out over the water, and the infinity pool adds to the experience.
  • Extensive on-site amenities — From a fitness centre and nightclub to a solarium and business centre, there's plenty to keep guests occupied without leaving the property.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rated below the Cartagena average — With an overall rating of 7.0 against the area average of 8.1, expectations should be adjusted accordingly.
  • Value for money is a common concern — The Value category scores 6.2, the lowest among the rating dimensions, suggesting some guests find the price high for what's delivered.
  • Rooms could be improved — The Rooms category sits at 6.7, so while some guests praise the views, others may find the in-room experience lacking in other ways.
