The restaurant chef whipped up delicious local favorites, made to order, and the piña coladas were nice and cold! The hotel was still in the process of renovating during our stay, so I expect that...

2.6 km from Rosario Islands Oceanarium

"After booking, we repeatedly messaged the hotel for directions and only got a reply at 7:55am on check-in day, telling us the only boat left Cartagena at 8:15am. No way to make it. They then sent a contact for a 9am boat costing 90k + 30k port tax, though cheaper 70k options exist. Given boats run only until 9am and transport can cost as much as two nights’ stay, this should be clearly stated before booking – we could easily have missed the first night. At the hotel, overnight guests have no...

Top Rosario Islands Oceanarium Hotel Reviews

OZ Hotel Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing. Rodolfo was super helpful and pleasant when checking in, Anderson was attentive when taking our belongings to the room and welcomed us every time we walked into the building. The rooftop pool is very very cramped. The location is honestly mid. It is in the middle of everything, which is nice, but if you’re not going straight to your car you’re bombarded by solicitors every few feet and they do know what no means and they do not listen. It is unfortunate because there are so many nice buildings and restaurants and places to go near by, but can’t get far without people bugging. The location is also a little far from the tourist attractions and airport. About 15-20minute uber drive to old town and the walled city."

Hotel Caribe by Faranda Grand, a member of Radisson Individuals

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel es excelente, muy bien ubicado, el único detalle fue que el personal intentó vendernos una suscripción a un club de fidelidad y nos hizo perder una hora en ello, por último uno de los botones nos cuestionó por motivo de que, a decir de el, no hicimos el check out siendo que ya estábamos por tomar nuestro Uber al aeropuerto, las formas no fueron las correctas, esperarse al último minuto para preguntarnos, denota falta de profesionalismo, fuera de ahí, bastante recomendable."

Sofitel Barú Cartagena

Hyatt Regency Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property, it’s well located when it comes to being across the beach and a mall right next door. If you are trying to get to the Historic Center which is where most activities happen you will have to Uber, the favorable thing is that Uber is extremely affordable. I also spent some days at Osh hotel in the Getsemaní area and I would prefer to stay in Hyatt because of the great facility and convenience. The only hiccup we had is that our room was not ready at the check in time @3pm, we waited until 4pm for it. Highly recommend."

Hilton Cartagena

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff was very friendly the entire time. The main pool was under maintenance. The beach is NOT private and is full of vendors all the time. The hotel smells like mold and the air conditioning wouldn't go below 26°C and was making noise."

Hotel OZ Grand

"Overall the stay was good! I appreciate the early check-in . The location made it easy to access restaurants and beaches in that area. The only area in need of improvement would be the breakfast. Consider ensuring that the hot food options remain warm throughout the serving time . Will definitely stay here again !"
