Hotels Near Bubble Sea Glamping in Cartagena

The old 5 star hotel that stayed when I first came to CARTAGENA 10 years ago, was very impressed, especially for the courtyard layout, the swimming pool and the restaurant on the side. It arrived at around 10:00 am. It has been 28 hours flight and transfer from Beijing. It is really tired and I don’t want to wait until 3 pm (on the Intercontinental, I’ve received $50 for early check-in). The plan to stay; the front desk said that the room was ready to live, and agreed to advance the breakfast on the last day to the day, it is very rare, thank you! The front desk, restaurant and various services are very thoughtful, although the room looks old, still feel things Great value!

This was my favorite hotel in Colombia (I also stayed at the Rosales Plaza Hotel in Bogota and GHL Hotel Portón Medellín in Medellín), but it was SO SMALL!!!!! The hotel is located a few minutes walk from a beach we didn't go to, across the street from souvenir shops, a mall, and restaurants. It's modern, clean, and comfortable, and has an amazing rooftop (especially at night), but breakfast wasn't the greatest. Nonetheless, I was the most content here. And although the staff was friendly and accommodating (one of the ladies at the front desk arranged laundry service for me at one of the local lavanderias), I won't be visiting this place again because somebody knocked down the ”Do Not Disturb” sign on my cousin's door, and the staff walked in to clean her room. Luckily, everything was still there, but that was such a turn off for me.

well, the breakfast was pretty poor and no so good,the staff served very small portions, the hotel is expensive for the services it offers. The hotel is a costly hotel for the services you offer and at breakfast the staff serves 1 egg cushion and 2 small party panties, please! a $60 hotel per night can not be so miserable, super comfortable and clean rooms,

Excellent service. staff working there is very friendly and service. food is very good, the menu is varied and healthy. The hotel is very well located, allowing you to visit and know different sites nearby, including the beach.

Great service. Great location. Fantastic breakfast and even better tasting menu at 1621 Restaurant!! Highly recommend. Concierge, Gabriel, was very helpful. He set up a personal walking and driving guided tour with Roco. It was well worth it in order to get a nice tour of the entire city. David, the bellhop, was equally friendly and gave a tour of the hotel with an explanation of its history.

Our stay was basically to have a nice bed to get good rest (My child had a sport competition in the city). This is a very basic hotel. Rooms are really small. With a double bed and an auxiliary bed, you barely have space to move. So, if you suffer from claustrofobia, this is not the hotel for you. Also, windown are not good to isolate noise from the street, even for us staying at floor 12th. Food is average to bad. Had dinner on our first night and it was not pleasant. Pasta is terrible (Is kind of hard to mess up a pasta plate) and I had a very salty, dry sandwich. Breakfast is limited, with the usual scrambled eggs, bread, fruits, cereal and 1 local food choice. If you are in a hurry, and only need a place to crash overnight, this hotel may be ok. For other type of stay, I wont recommend it.

The beds were like falling in clouds and the room was always immaculately clean 😁 the decor in the lobby was well thought about. But my favourite part was the staff they were sooo nice and engaging, nobody seemed like they were not enjoying work and they were very courteous and willing to assist at anytime. Big shout out to my favourite bar tender Luis from the lobby Angél from the Roof top bar, Leslie our lifeguard, Camilla one of our servers Daniella and Oneyeda from Reception and the ever so kind housing keeping staff and the the General Maanger Jacqueline. Shout out to Johnathan and Kenin and Mateo. You all made us Jamaicans who are hard to please very welcomed keep up the good work. The only thing I will say is that breakfast needs to be a bit more diverse as it was the same thing everyday that can get boring. P.S these guys need better pay for the service they Provide.

Location: City Center (Old Town Cartagena) is 15 min- 25 min away depending on traffic. If you don't care about seeing old town, then this may be ok. The hotel is located at La Boquilla next to a bad neighborhood, so be aware of people harassing you at the beach at all times, and keep an eye on your belongings. When you leave the hotel always walk to the right towards the city, don't go left or you may find yourself in a very bad location really fast. This is a special note to women traveling to Colombia. Hotel: Clean, food is ok not great, staff was friendly except for the people at the front desk. They seemed to be always busy, and behind their daily duties, so they will rush you, and not give you proper attention, they need at least another person at the front desk at peak hours. Pool is ok, service at the pool was good. They will ask you to provide a pass to get a towel, so don't loose the pass or the towel, you may get charged for it. (Not a fancy systems) Reminds me of hotels in Colombia back in the 80's when towels were a luxury. Beach: Biggest disappointment of the trip, water is dark, and the sand is gray/brown. You cannot see your feet with a foot of water on them. Note that as soon as you come out of the hotel towards the Beach there is a security guard from the Hotel at the door, part of his job is to advised you to watch your belongings, and not to buy anything from beach vendors. This gives you an idea of this beach. Forget about bringing your own umbrella or beach chair, there are vendors that have taken possession of the beach by renting umbrellas and chairs, if you don't rent from them, you will be left out to use a small portion of the beach very close to the water. My advised is to pay the $5 dollars and rent from them. Beach vendor will harass you all day long. Avoid buying food and always ask prices up front before ordering drinks or anything else. There are horror stories of people paying $25 for a Coke. I don't recommend this place for families, or for single women visiting the city, much better options in Bocagrande or Old town. The place is ok for single guys or business. Hope this helps,
