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. While it’s located in an industrial area, a bit removed from the main tourist zone, this actually worked well for us since we were looking for a quieter, more peaceful stay away from the crowds. It was still easily accessible by public transport and taxi. We felt completely at ease throughout our visit and would definitely return. Highly recommended for travelers seeking comfort, good service, and a calm atmosphere.

Wyndham Garden Cartagena

Staying at Wyndham Garden Cartagena was an absolute highlight of my trip! The room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed—definitely one of the best value-for-money options among all the hotels in the area.

Even better, the airport is only about 10 minutes away—super convenient for early flights or last-minute departures. The staff were friendly, the amenities were reliable, and everything felt thoughtfully designed. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and great value in Cartagena, this hotel is a top pick.

Encanto Rentals at Sunno Beach

The stay was absolutely wonderful overall—perfect location right by the beach, peaceful and convenient for exploring Cartagena. The property was clean, well-maintained, and had a lovely tropical vibe. Mauricio’s hospitality truly stood out—he was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. The only minor issue was the mattress being a bit too firm for our comfort, which slightly affected our sleep quality. However, that didn’t take away from the excellent experience. Every other detail was spot-on, and the value for money was outstanding. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Cartagena.

Hotel Atuchi

Staying at Hotel Atuchi was a solid choice if you're just passing through Cartagena and need quick access to the airport. The location is excellent—right near the airport, making early morning departures stress-free. There are plenty of nearby restaurants and eateries, so dinner or a late-night snack isn’t an issue. That said, the hotel does get noisy—traffic and street sounds carry into the rooms, which might affect light sleepers. The mattresses are on the firm side, not the most comfortable for a full night’s rest. Still, for a quick stopover or layover, it's perfectly functional. The room comes with air conditioning and a private bathroom, both working well. Clean, simple, and practical—ideal for travelers who prioritize convenience over luxury. If you’re only here for a short stay and want to avoid long commutes, this place delivers good value for money.
