We stayed at the Occidental Grand March of 2012. We had an ocean view room which was very nice and kept clean. Floor was tile which was a little uneven in certain corners.

My husband and I went with friends in Feb 2012. Overall it was a good experience. We found staff friendly, good service in the restaurants, liked the food choices as it was all good, just not loaded with options like other buffets, but good quality. Bar service was slow at times, not enough staff and needed another location. It would... More

We travelled to Cartagena the last week of March. What a great vacation. We flew Thomas Cook and booked through Sunquest. The only thing about Sunquest/Thomas Cook is the small amount of weight you can have in your carry on. We arrived on time got to the resort in about twenty minutes from the airport. The bus was nice it... More
