Fantastic resort place.

Quite comfortable Hotel. Swimming pool area quite confortable. I would strongly recommend this Hotel for somebody visiting Cartagena. Outside of the Hotel, like going to ciudad vieja or going to Rosario or Baru Island, may be a problem with the harrasment on the vendors.

Hilton vs hotel caribe

For 80.00 more a night at the hilton, we had amazing service. There was a five star gym, excellent cuisine, and most of all, a 'customers always right' attitude. The Caribe front desk staff acted more like road side sales people and even tricked us into paying more for their reservation mistakes! The gym resembles a jailhouse gym with no air conditioning, poor lighting, dirty equipment, and broken machines. The restaurant food was just ok, and the breakfast was really disappointing. The rooms are very clean, the room service is trustworthy...i left my wallet and ipod one day by accident and the maid put it on my pillow with a now reminding me to keep it in the safe. The managers aren't friendly, the security people treated ourut

Honeymoon in Cartagena

We didn't do a typical honeymoon suite and all inclusive typical honeymoon type things for budget purposes but for what we paid for and what we expected our stay was excellent. Very professional staff, great room service and cleanliness, great location- everyone in Cartagena knows what the Hotel Caribe is, beautiful pool and great restaurants.

Olímpica, the neighborhood grocery store is very inexpensive and has great items to eat for breakfast or dinner after a lunch out- which are generally pretty big. The hotel provides mini refrigerators that can store your grocery purchases.

Decent Location

Overall, the place is decent, nothing to brag about and say WOW what a place. It's your standard hotel and it provides the bed and the shower you need while on vacation. Besides, who wants to go on vacation and stay the entire time in a hotel room? The restaurants were ok, but didn't have enough variety on the menus. The staff was pleasant and polite. It is located in a decent area where there are a lot more hotels. Easy access to most things to do in the city. For the location I can see the price, for the brand and value a bit expensive, but overall a decent place to stay if you do not want to spend lots of money and/or stay on a dump either.

It's a wonderfull place to stay, with the hospitality of the 'cartageneros'. The rooms are clean, well conditioners. The breakfast with a good presentation and provision with all you can eat. I recommended this hotel.

Decent hotel; wonderful & friendly staff

First time in Cartagena, Colombia. The hotel was nice. I would say about 3.5 stars. The overall ambiance at the hotel was nice. A lot of palm tree, flowers, etc, which was great for taking pictures. There is a "zoo" at the hotel which consists of caged monkeys and parrots. The pool area was nice. The room was clean, but basic. The toiletries provided in the bathroom were good. (the hotel provides just about everything---toothpaste and toothbrush, a comb, razor, sewing kit and much, much more. I thought the decor in the rooms could have been better. Also, the hotel needs better pillows. The pillows were flat. There is a beach across the street...which I did not go to because I heard the water and sand were horrible, and there are many locals trying to sell you things on the beach. The breakfast at the hotel is included in the cost. It was decent not great..I thought the food could have been better. I would stay at this hotel again. The best part is the staff. Most of the staff were very friendly, accomadating, and helpful. (My ability to speak spanish is less than conversational)

some markets are within walking distance. A cruise ship was in town one day and there were lots of vendors in the street. Cartagena has some great things to see and do if you have time. The old walled city offers lots to see and do plus some excellent eating establishments

hotel Caribe Cartagena

The hotel was clean and friendly staff. It is located walking distance from local restaurants and shops, and about 5-10 minutes, by taxi, from Old Cartagena. Very nice green areas to walk, large pool for adults and nice size for children. Beach area is clean but there are lots of outside/pushy people looking to sale something.

Nice

Rooms were nice, clean but nothing special. We had difficulty getting towels. Employees were quite friendly and for the most part helpful. Only real complaint, I was told breakfast was included but ended up being charged for it when I checked out. Had to get to airport and didn't have time to argue about it. There was some construction of some kind while we were there also.
