We stayed here for 5 days...The hotel is very big, has AC and a great pool. Not the greatest shape, but pleasant overall. It is located very conveniently, right across from the beach and in close proximity to very nice restaurants (actually, right on the beach in front of the hotel, there is a very nice restaurant with local, amazing,...

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights during our last trip to Colombia. The hotel is an old colonial building located outside the old town. You need to get a taxi if you want to go to the old center (10-15min depending on the traffic). The breakfast and lunch (in the open-air restaurant) were really good. You can see... More

We stayed for 1 week over the new years holiday. We booked a beachfront suite and instead received a room that if you looked out of one of the windows at a 170 degree angle left side you could make out the beach. Rather it was a veiw of the tops of some 3 story apartments and homes. The mattress... More

This hotel seems like it had its heyday about 10 to 15 years ago. The place is a bit run down, I noticed a small leak in the lobby on the first day. However, the rooms are still in good condition, with a modern bathroom. The atmosphere in the courtyard of the hotel is very beautiful and appropriate for Cartagena's... More

Stayed a week with the family. We all really enjoyed it. Nice rooms, comfortable beds. Service is ok. The pool area is great with music playing all day and you can walk across the street to the beach. The grounds are pretty. It's a big place. I would definitely stay here again and plan to soon. The breakfast buffet is... More

We spent one night at the Hotel Caribe, having decided to leave Santa Marta and head to Cartagena early. We had booked a hotel in the old city so just needed somewhere for a night and decided to try Hotel Caribe on the Bocagrande for variety. We thought it was absolutely charming! It is the oldest hotel in Cartagena and... More

The Caribe has three buildings. The "modern" ones aren't that great. The lobbies are empty (no concierge) and while my parents' room had a lovely remodeled bathroom, our adjoining room's bathroom was leaking water from the ceiling. No view. These were "superior" rooms. So we moved onto the 5th floor of the original building - basic rooms. They are charming... More

i stayed at the el caribe because of what i read and the location, my fiancee was to stay with me over night 6 days, but could not because her sister who is a major doctor in cartagena just had a baby and also had a large kidney stone. so between my fiancee visiting her sister in the hospital and...

Very good hotel located close to the beach and many excellent restaurants. Grounds are very lush with many birds and animals around. Olympic size pool, excellent views from the 5th floor of the older section. Contrary to a previous post if you stay in the older section the 5th and 4th exterior corridors can be used as "balconies" overlooking the... More
