The restaurant chef whipped up delicious local favorites, made to order, and the piña coladas were nice and cold!

"After booking, we repeatedly messaged the hotel for directions and only got a reply at 7:55am on check-in day, telling us the only boat left Cartagena at 8:15am. No way to make it. They then sent a contact for a 9am boat costing 90k + 30k port tax, though cheaper 70k options exist. Given boats run only until 9am and transport can cost as much as two nights’ stay, this should be clearly stated before booking – we could easily have missed the first night. At the hotel, overnight guests have no...

OZ Hotel Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Super bueno. I el Precio es barato."

Hotel OZ Grand

8/10 Good

"Overall the stay was good! I appreciate the early check-in . The location made it easy to access restaurants and beaches in that area. The only area in need of improvement would be the breakfast. Consider ensuring that the hot food options remain warm throughout the serving time . Will definitely stay here again !"

Osh Hotel Cartagena

8/10 Good

"I had a fantastic time at the OSH Hotel in Cartagena! For context, I am 26 y/o and visiting from the States, coming to Cartagena to celebrate my birthday! We arranged for a car to pick us up from the airport, which was serviced through the hotel property. Super convenient, although our driver barely spoke English, so initial coordination was challenging at first. Still felt safe once we were all settled. We were welcomed with welcome drinks; check-in was quite smooth, but a bit busy. We came right at “rush hour” so no biggie. The staff transported our bags up to the room with no hesitation. The room is fantastic, however, I was a bit disappointed with the size of the bathroom. For my ladies, the vanity lighting for makeup isn’t the best, but manageable. Food and bar service were incredible. Staff were extremely welcoming and pleasant to converse with. Pool staff were excellent. Not a party atmosphere at all, very chill, and central to clubs and bars if you’re looking for that vibe. I had no negative opinions about this hotel; food was phenomenal, location was stellar and I felt very safe as the hotel was guarded 24/7 and a key was needed to access. Would stay again."
