Dreams Karibana Cartagena Beach & Golf Resort

The all-inclusive experience here is truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The beachfront location is perfect—just steps from the sand and crystal-clear waters. What really stood out was the non-stop availability of drinks throughout the day and night, which added so much convenience and fun to our stay. Whether lounging by the pool or enjoying sunset cocktails, everything felt effortless and luxurious. The resort’s attention to detail, combined with the warm hospitality, made this a memorable getaway. I’d absolutely return without hesitation.

Makena la Boquilla Beach Hostel

I stayed here again after taking advantage of a great deal, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the moment I stepped out of my room, Clarita greeted me with a delicious cup of Colombian coffee—she remembers my preference! Rodrigo, who takes care of the hostel at night, is incredibly kind and always up for a chat. If you’re looking to truly immerse yourself in local culture, this is hands down the best place to stay. The beds are super comfortable, with fresh linens and soft towels—everything is spotless and well-maintained. Leandra, the owner, is attentive and always ready to help. Breakfast changes daily, offering a variety of traditional Colombian arepas made from corn—especially the Sunday special, the egg arepa, which is a true Cartagena favorite and absolutely delicious. Need a taxi? They arrange one quickly with minimal wait time. Located just 30 minutes from downtown Cartagena, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring the city while still enjoying a quiet, authentic vibe. I highly recommend this hostel—don’t hesitate to book your stay here!

Hotel Boquilla Suites by Geh Suites

Great value for a one-night stay! The hotel is very flexible with check-in times, so no worries if you arrive late. Breakfast was simple but satisfying—just arepas, eggs, and hot chocolate, perfect to start the day. The room was spotlessly clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s well-located, just a short walk from the city center, making it easy to explore Cartagena without spending too much on accommodation. If you're looking for a budget-friendly, reliable place to rest overnight, this is a solid choice—no complaints at all.

Hotel Casa Boquilla del Mar 9-71

The location is convenient and close to the historic district, making it easy to explore Cartagena on foot. The price is very reasonable for a budget-friendly stay, which is great if you're just looking for a basic place to sleep. However, I only stayed one night and was seriously disturbed by loud music coming from outside around 10–11 PM. Even though this is an affordable, no-frills property, guests should at least expect peace and quiet—especially when paying such a low rate. It’s hard to rest with constant noise spilling into the rooms. If you value tranquility, this might not be the best choice. A simple fix like better soundproofing or stricter rules on outdoor noise could make a big difference in guest satisfaction.
