My family and I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Caribe. Even though it’s an 80-year-old hotel, it is very well kept, maintaining its charm and elegance. The beautiful grounds and the presence of animals around the property made the experience truly unique and special. The pools and jacuzzi were absolutely incredible—perfect for relaxing after exploring the city and the beautiful islands. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a wonderful stay. The only area for improvement would be updating the bathrooms to match the rest of the hotel’s charm. However, this didn’t take away from the overall experience. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again!

We had the best girls' trip vacation! The hotel was beautiful. The grounds were amazing. We loved the wildlife, deer, and beautiful birds! The breakfast every morning was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed all the variety of fruit and offerings. We decided to visit annually as we had so much fun and made many memories. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and we felt safe and well cared for the whole time. We would highly recommend it to everyone!

Glorious grounds, beautifully lit up at night. Loved the deer, cats, peacocks, parrots and cats wandering the gardens - and the friendly toucan, who came to the bar for a drink. The hotel room was spacious, not in the latest decor but perfectly fine. The food was plentiful and the bar menu was delicious. Easy taxi ride into Cartagena and for access to the Rosario islands. Wonderful destination for winter sun but brush up your Spanish!

The staff were amazing from beginning to end. My Spanish is not that great but I made it through. The pools were cleaned every single day. The breakfast was sprawling and fresh. The culture, the natives were world class. Cartagena owes me nothing! I will go back here a million more times. My suggestions are, take a trip to the Old City, Getsemani and do a tour of Cartagena with Chocolate Tourism. What an amazing trip for my daughter, she could not stay out of that pool. All 5 stars for me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
