Hotel Fenix Beach Cartagena

"We spent two nights here in a beachfront villa, and it exceeded expectations.Location: Direct, private access to a clean, quiet stretch of beach—no crowded or loud vendors.Rooms: Impeccably clean, cold AC, and a private pool where we watched the sunset every night.Service: The front desk expedited our paperless check-in, and the beach attendants regularly checked in with fresh towels and ice water.Tip: Request a villa on the north side of the property for maximum quiet. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Isla del Encanto

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel es muy bonito, de fácil acceso en vehículo, con parqueo. Te transportan en una lancha y te reciben con una bebida refrescante. Recomiendo tomar los tours privados para disfrutar al máximo la estadía. Nuestro guía Andy hizo que nuestra corta estancia valiera toda la pena del mundo! Pudimos conocer todas las islas del rosario, nadamos con plancton por la noche, hicimos snorkeling y fuimos a playas privadas. Definitivamente una de las mejores experiencias y el mejor cumpleaños que he celebrado hasta ahora. Gracias a todos por hacer de esta fecha algo tan especial e inolvidable para mi."
