Some of the previous reviews of this wonderful hotel stated problems that I can assure you we did not have to deal with. We stayed at their location in the historical Old Town as well as a couple of days at their sister hotel on Isla Tierrabomba. In Cartagena, we were able to enjoy hot showers, which was pure heaven as this is not something we normally are blessed with in those parts of the world. The staff was friendly and courteous and the included breakfasts were delightful. Our rooms were clean and roomy. Having a mini fridge in the room was a nice touch. After hot, humid walks around town it was nice to return to our air conditioned room and sip a cold beverage. The Isla Tierrabomba location differed but not in a bad way. Although there was no mini-fridge or hot water, the view and surroundings more than made up for it. We enjoyed being nestled into our room shaded by palm trees along nice garden paths. We had heard bad reports about the beach, but to our delight it was quiet and clean. The atmosphere was almost surreal as we swam in the ocean, just the two of us, with the highrises of Cartagena a backdrop in the distance. The staff was again wonderful and we would definately stay there again. Only downside was no bath matt, thus when we stepped out of the shower the...Some of the previous reviews of this wonderful hotel stated problems that I can assure you we did not have to deal with.

Both locations offered internet access and on Isla Tierrabomba there is a pool should anyway prefer it over swimming in the ocean.More
