To be honest, I never actually stayed at this hotel as a guest—I was staying across the street at another property that didn’t quite live up to expectations. Still, I kept finding myself drawn to San Pedro Suite Hotel just to take in its inviting and mysterious entrance. Once inside, I explained to the staff that I was only curious about the place, and they welcomed me with open arms. They even let me enjoy their rooftop hot tub and magical swimming pool—completely free of charge. I ended up booking some spa treatments, which were absolutely worth it. The manager was incredibly warm and engaging—we talked late into the night, sharing stories and laughter. We stayed in touch for a while after, but life took us in different directions. Still, that one visit left such a lasting impression that I now dream of returning to Cartagena—not just for the city, but specifically for a romantic getaway at this hidden gem. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience.

The service at Hotel Amoek is exceptional—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment you arrive. Every staff member goes the extra mile to make your stay comfortable and memorable. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the historic old town and nearby metro access makes exploring the city effortless. Rooms are clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed with modern comforts. It's rare to find such a high level of hospitality and value in one place. I couldn't recommend this hotel more—it’s a true gem in Cartagena.

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.

Playa Norte Hotel is a great choice if you're looking for a quiet, comfortable stay just outside the city center. While it's a bit farther from downtown Cartagena, the location offers peace and relaxation without being too isolated. The nearby market is super convenient for grabbing fresh groceries or local snacks—no need to travel far. Getting into the city is easy via taxi or public transit, making it a good balance between tranquility and accessibility. Overall, a solid option with excellent value.

We stayed at Townhouse Boutique Hotel for four nights with our two kids and couldn’t be more pleased. Our suite was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated—exactly what we were hoping for. We especially loved the included breakfast each morning; it was fresh, well-prepared, and perfect for a family start to the day. The rooftop terrace offered stunning views, and we enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the afternoon with the kids. While the pool is on the smaller side, it’s ideal for little ones and very safe. There was some construction noise from the room above us early in the stay, but after we messaged the hotel via WhatsApp, the disturbance stopped almost immediately—possibly due to their quick response. Street noise was minimal and never an issue. One highlight was the complimentary day pass to Apple Beach Hotel, which made for a memorable and enjoyable outing. Overall, this hotel is a fantastic choice for families. The service, location, and amenities all exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it to other travelers.

Mamá Carmen, I already miss her. She takes care of cooking and cleaning throughout the house, and her culinary skills are impressive—she prepares a wide variety of authentic Colombian dishes with real passion. She’s also an excellent local guide, offering great tips on where to go and what to see. Down-to-earth, warm-hearted, and genuinely motherly, she made us feel right at home. The house itself is fantastic—five well-maintained rooms, though the 'king' bed was actually two twin beds pushed together (minor detail, but worth noting). There’s a pool and a hot tub; the pool water was cool, which felt refreshing after a long day in the sun. The jacuzzi didn’t heat up fully during our stay, but it was still pleasantly warm and perfect for unwinding under the tropical sky. Overall, this place offers more than just a room—it delivers a heartfelt experience. A true gem in Cartagena, highly recommended.

This has officially become my favorite place to stay in Cartagena—definitely won’t be going anywhere else. The staff went above and beyond in the most genuine way. I mentioned casually that I wasn’t fully comfortable with my room’s view, hoping for something better, and instead of brushing it off, they upgraded me to a suite at no extra cost. That kind of hospitality is rare! Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. Everyone from housekeeping to front desk was warm, attentive, and always smiling. The entire property felt spotless and beautifully maintained. From start to finish, every detail was perfect. If you’re visiting Cartagena, this hotel deserves your full attention—it’s truly exceptional.
