I travelled to Cartagena for a conference and had to stay at the Capilla del Mar. First of all, the hotel is old and needs serious rennovation. Internet Access was spotty, the rooms are completly outdated and it is located in an area of Cartagena infested with prostitution. The moment I would exit the hotel, there were prostitues offering their... more

I love it. All the staff were very nice and efficient. The hotel has a nice and excellent food. I would say that the highlight of the hotel is the security. I was unbelievable, I lost my wallet at the city center and they help me to recover it. A lot of businessmen stay there because of the security. You... more

We were a group of 6 friends and stayed at the Capilla Del Mar for 4 nights. Booked the Suite Especial (2 bedrooms, living room, kithenette, balcony with chairs, side view of ocean) for $200/night at Easyclicktravel.com. Most of the suites have been renovated, so make sure you ask for them otherwise you might get one with older furnishings. The... more

I just returned from a 4 night stay with a buddy. Got an amazing deal on Easyclick.com, where we paid $197 U.S. for the 2 bedroom suite especial. The room had 2 large bedrooms, a large living room, and kitchen. While the kitchen appliances are way past their prime, everything else was fine. There was a large balcony with a... more

The entire stay was wonderful and made this way by the attentiveness to our needs. From check in on the first day until we rushed to the airport, and in our haste, left an electric toothbrush and battery charger in the room. As soon as we realized this, we sent an email to Nestor Andres Ramirez Lopez, who had been... more

I've stayed at the Decameron ($160-170/nt. '06 & '07) twice and the only thing it has on this place is a more festive atmosphere. Other than that, Capilla ($130/nt.) wins hands down. Breakfast: Your typical complimentary fare. Nothing special. Good for nourishment. Rooftop Pool: You only get about 180o view, and it is rather small, but it is great for... more

We stayed in this hotel for a few days during christmas season, and we enjoyed every little thing of it. Even when the rooms are good, they can be improved. The location is the best in Cartagena. Staff is very helpful, polite, and always with a smile in the face. We enjoyed a lot the portion of the beach in... more

My girlfriend booked this hotel on a deal, which certainly helped with the price. The hotel picked us up a tthe airport and was very welcoming, the only sour point to start was tipping the hotel assistant in coins was taken very poorly (despite probably more than normally in notes) so I resolved to not tip the guy at all... more

This Hotel across from the Beach is all about location. The pool deck on the roof offers awesome views of Cartagena during the day and evening hours. Thats about it. The room was a "bland" in design and taste. Building appears old (like me) and still standing (like me). Not a place to stay for the 4star rating it boasts.... more
