Pros: The staff was definitely their best feature, although I'm sure it's more about their colombian culture and politeness than about the hotel. The breakfast was also rich and diverse, a good way to start the day. The beach was good, certainly not the best if you're just coming from Tayrona, but still good, clean and quite. The game room was a big plus, specially if travelling with kids.

Pros: I liked the fact they had a travel agency to book my trips day before. The pool is huge lots of space. The pool bar is great. Great drinks. Check in was fast and they even signed me up with a hilton account for free. I asked to leave my luggage for my flight so i could do some extra stuff and they helped me with that. So i was very happy. Me and my fiancé were treated like royal. I would come back. Thank you Hilton Cartagena!!!

The game room was a big plus, specially if travelling with kids.
Cons: When we checked-in, our room was not clean at all, there were big chunks of hair all over the place, like someone had just had a haircut. It was very dusty and there were things missing from the minibar which they later tried to charged us. In their deffense, I think they thought that the previous family was still staying another night, so they just made the beds. Plus, when we brought this to their attention, they were very embarrased and fixed it immediately. The swimming pool was very small and simple, but because they are also renovating a big part of it, so hopefully it will be cleaner and modern when ready.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Food
Cons: Ugh, it is impossible to enjoy the beach. So many peddlers harassing guests the second you step out. Would rather have stated in old town since no beach time was had.
6.7 Good
Pros: Impecable service accross the facilities.
Cons: The photos don't describe reality... very small relaxation area. 2/3 of the swimming pool area are under civil work, with obvious reduction on the available area and construction noise all day. Not fair to those who come with family expecting a large complex,
6.0 Good
Pros: The location was very beautiful
Cons: We were offered a discount off breakfast if we paid in advance. However when we checked out the itemized bill clearly stated "breakfast upsell" on it. We were also charged $50 USD for pool towel cards that we never received at check-in

Pros: Hotel service was great. Bed was super comfortable and room was clean. There's a quick mart across the street with everything you need.
Cons: The beach wasn't relaxing at all. The vendors are extremely aggressive. They line up at your cabana and you can barely close your eyes for 30 seconds. They start massaging you and asking for money. We were there for 3 days and only went to the beach 1 day.. Stay in old town and enjoy the history and market where you go to vendors, not the other way around.

Pros: THe staff was very friendly and courteous, they helped us book a tour to Playa Blanca and gave us useful information about the city. We were able to arrange a late check out since our flight was leaving at 6pm and we wanted to enjoy the beach as much as we could. The hotel was clean and modern. The pool was smaller than expected but it didn't matter since the beach is just a block away (you can rent a "tent" for around 20mil pesos). Our room included breakfast (cereal, fruits, eggs -hardboiled and scrambled-, coffee, tea, pastries, bread and yogurt) and a night snack (the soup was the best part but you could prepare a sandwich and snack on empanadas). The room (4th floor) was clean, quiet (with the occasional chiva passing at night but it wasn't a big deal) spacious and had enough towels and pillows. Having a mini fridge was very useful. Internet had a strong signal and was fast enough. Being able to regulate the ACs temperature was the best.
