The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Culinary Experience

The food at Alma was excellent! We enjoyed fantastic breakfasts with a mimosa bar, and our dinners were divine, especially the seafood dishes. Eating inside with the lovely ambiance really enhanced our meals.

Amazing Spa Retreat

Our visit to the Aurum Spa was a highlight of our trip. The atmosphere was tranquil, and the therapists were incredibly skilled. I especially loved the Hammam ritual, which was a unique and rejuvenating experience.

Luxurious Accommodations

We stayed in the King suite with a private pool, and it felt like a romantic haven. The decor was beautifully done and the amenities were great. The large balcony was perfect for enjoying evening cocktails.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the property was beautiful and the staff truly went above and beyond to accommodate us. Yet, the breakfast service left much to be desired, with long waits and incorrect orders. The location was perfect for exploring the nearby attractions, but I experienced a few issues during my stay that really impacted my overall experience.

This hotel truly exemplifies luxury and charm, being centrally located in the heart of Cartagena's old city. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, with high ceilings and tasteful decor. The staff is incredibly attentive, ensuring all needs are met during the stay. However, the layout can be confusing, and some rooms might feel a bit dark. The facilities, especially the pool and dining options, are delightful but have limitations that some guests might find inconvenient.

The hotel is a beautiful blend of historical elegance and modern touches, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit special, especially during my birthday weekend. The only downside was that sometimes it felt a bit busy, making it slightly hard to find a quiet spot. As a family-friendly hotel, it truly lived up to the expectations, and we would love to return.
