Hotel Altamar Cartagena

The hotel was a wonderful experience overall—clean, well-maintained, and the room we stayed in was spacious, cool, and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent: generous portions, varied options, and delicious flavors. The staff were attentive and friendly, especially the ladies working in the restaurant—they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The pool was large, clean, and perfect for relaxing by.
