Casa La Sierpe by HMC
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.

Highly recommend this gem in Cartagena if you want convenience without sacrificing quality.

Hotel Sol Del Este
Our stay at Hotel Sol Del Este in Cartagena didn’t meet expectations. The air conditioning in the room was ineffective—even on maximum setting, it never felt cool enough, making it uncomfortable, especially during the hot evenings. We had to ask twice for towels, and despite being a couple, only one towel was initially provided. The bed was very uncomfortable—too firm and lacking proper support, which disrupted our sleep quality. To make things worse, there was only one electrical outlet in the entire room, which made charging devices a real challenge, particularly with multiple gadgets. While the staff were polite, the service responsiveness could be improved. Overall, the room didn’t deliver value for money, and we’d recommend looking elsewhere if comfort and convenience are priorities.
