Staying at Hotel Barahona Cartagena was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location in Bocagrande is unbeatable—walkable to beaches, restaurants, and local shops, with easy access to public transit. The architecture seamlessly blends modern design with nature, featuring large windows that flood the rooms with natural light and offer serene views of lush greenery. It instantly creates a peaceful, calming atmosphere perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The room itself was clean, spacious, and well-appointed, offering excellent value for money. But what truly stood out wasn’t just the comfort or the setting—it was the genuine warmth and hospitality of the staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, always with a smile and ready to help. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a place where you genuinely feel at home. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena looking for a quiet retreat with charm, comfort, and heartfelt service.
I wouldn't recommend this property. While the location in Cartagena is convenient—close to downtown and easy to get around by public transit—the actual condition of the apartment was far from what we expected. The unit felt dirty and poorly maintained, with visible dust and grime in corners and crevices. To our horror, there were cockroaches everywhere—under the sink, in the kitchen, even near the bed. The appliances shown in the photos didn’t work at all: the air conditioner was broken, the stove wouldn’t ignite, and the fridge barely cooled. It’s clear the listing photos are misleading. We ended up spending more time fixing issues than enjoying our stay. For a better experience, I’d suggest looking elsewhere—there are definitely much cleaner, more reliable options in the area.
