The room are not that big, there is the new building with the pool which is not enchanting. But most of all, I came with USD as the distributors for local money were not working. To pay the taxi, I asked the front staff to change the money, it took ages and hessitation which was appalling. Having flown 10 hours... More

An amazing hotel with an amazing history and amazing staff. Seriously, it's all about the details at this place. From the fruit kebabs passed out around the pool and the garnished drinks to the friendly smiles on everyone's faces, everything was staged for a wonderful experience. If you can afford this place, you should stay here. One wish I'd want:... More

We stayed here on a short break after our wedding and all I can say is it was absolutely perfect; it was so good we extended our stay but had to change rooms as they were full. We started our stay in one of the suites on the fifth floor with a sea view. When we booked we thought about... More

I confess: We didn't stay at the Santa Clara because it was too pricey for us. But we did the next best thing, which is to have dinner there one night in the outdoor courtyard restaurant. The courtyard is breathtakingly beautiful and they light it with candles in the evening. The service is outstanding and the food is very good... More

This hotel is absolutely incredible! My husband and I were travelling around Colombia for our honeymoon, and Cartagena was our second destination. Having read the fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor, and spent a long time looking at all the photos on the website, this was one of the destinations that we were really looking forwards too. Having high expectations can sometimes... More

This was a very comfortable hotel in a great part of town, if you like history rather than beaches. Excellent service, but expensive. More facilities than other hotels (gym, pool, business centre, two restaurants, spa) and it is hot walking around, so we liked the services.

I have stayed in the Santa Clara several times over the past couple of years and it remains one of my favourite hotels and top recommendations. Although the price appears to have almost doubled since i first started staying here 3 years ago, it is worth every penny and really cannot be beaten. From the moment you walk in, you... More

Probably the best hotel in Cartagena in a lovely old monastery building in a lively and interesting square. The inner courtyard is beautiful and, again, the best in Cartagena. Meals can be taken in one of the two restaurants in/around this courtyard. Huge swimming pool in the sea side courtyard is also excellent. Lots of staff around - sometimes they... More
