Crowne Plaza Barranquilla by IHG
Lovely and clean hotel. The hotel restaurant has really great food and the bartender there was attentive and super nice. The bartender at the pool took much longer and was not as attentive, but the pool was beautiful. My room had a nice view and was a good size. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay ...
