I hate to give it "average", but I just can't say otherwise when the showers were so dirty. My husband and I stayed here in March 2011. This place is expensive and presents itself as first class; however, if the place I'm suppose to clean myself is NOT clean, that's unacceptable. We stayed in a suite with two floors, two... More

We booked the hotel after gettong a deal on Tablet, but it was still fairly expensive. The hotel definitely lived up to its billing though. The architecture is gorgeous and the pool was perfect for the very hot days. It is in the old city (where any tourist should stay) and everything is walkable. We had great meals at La... More

I stayed here because of a conference I was attending. Everything was very good, and the hotel is well located in the historic centre of Cartagena. A must see are the Tucans that lived there .. they usually appears to your side while you are having lunch ... very prettty and different!

The Santa Clara is housed in an old convent and many of the... More

The Santa Clara is impressive, a bit expensive but the story that harbor its walls and architecture well worth it. Everything in this hotel is special, its inside terrace that was an ancient cloister, the decor of its corridors, romos and details. The quality of the beds and pillows is great, has a nice gym and a spectacular pool so... More

Although the door card had to replaced daily, :-), the overall experience was lovely for four days at the hotel. Excellent room and bathroom with a view of the sea was super, perfect internet for three devices simultaneously. Breakfast buffet was delish, and the 1621 restaurant, French-influenced Cartagena is the best in the city! Location is perfect for sight-seeing too,... More
