Detailed Reviews
The room was so affordable and very clean, aesthetic and fresh with a view of streets outside and the beach on the horizon. Check in was easy and Luis was gracious and welcoming. He spoke English and that was helpful. The food was delicious, highly recommend going downstairs to enjoy the fresh delicious breakfast that’s included in the morning. There is a small shallow pool but I didn’t use it, the pool area was so cute with outdoor showers and a bar. Two things I will say one night my hot water wasn’t working so that was inconvenient. It was fixed the next morning. And the door doesn’t have a double lock for safety like most hotels but I did feel safe as a solo female traveler. It is across the street from a 24h mart that has everything. Also Luis provided the utmost thorough and attentive service I had in a while! Thanks so much Luis!

Very good hotel and very well located in the center of Boca Grande in Cartajena. The stay includes breakfast and you can enjoy the pool.
Breakfast is buffet style with delicious fresh fruits and some options to choose from.
The attention was very good at all times.

Excellent hotel in all aspects. Spacious room with super cold AC, mini-fridge, hot water and comfy bed. All staff were nice and helpful. Delicious breakfast, several options everyday to choose from. Soledad is the best waitress ever, always smiling and knowledgeable of the different breakfast options and the “specials” of the day. Conveniently located in Bocagrande, with two 24-hr grocery stores just steps away. The beach is just two blocks down the street. You can get beach towels from the hotel with no problem. We will definitively return to the Barlovento in our next visit to Cartagena.

I was a walk in guest. What I'm finding about Columbia is that the surge of tourism after it's darker days has exposed some flaws in preparedness in staff to deal with English speaking guests and their requirements. There is a strong admission that most guests are tourists; so, my points are...
I'm told that bidet hoses are not in Columbia, however they are available. A hotel of this standard should have them. They are around $30. Morally, it is environmentally irresponsible, as it would save $$$$ on toilet tissue: I'm told that tissue should not be flushed down the closet in Columbia; so???
On the first night I stayed in a suite room as that's all they had, lovely and spacious, English TV channels. When I transferred to the standard room there were none. The staff tried to change, but deep down I think they were trying to placate my disappointment. Whereas I don't travel to watch TV, it's nice to watch the news when you wake up and perhaps a movie before sleeping; so?
Lack of English in customer facing stfaf for this level/standard of accommodation: so?
The breakfast was great, the staff are wonderful and friendly. Cheers to Louis on the front desk. The location is great. Very clean and modern. I do recommend it but wont give 5 stars for reasons stated.

Nice hotel and great staff. Rooms are modern/renovated and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful and accommodated all our random requests (needed a bottle opener, asking to turn on the water jets in the pool at night, arranging expedited laundry service, etc.) with great attitudes. Rooms are pretty modern and comfortable. Our corner room had small windows and didn't have much of a view but we were spending most of our time outside so that was fine. This hotel is right by two grocery stores - always nice if you want to grab snacks, drinks, more sunblock, etc. We only had breakfast once - it was just okay, nothing special so can't really speak to the restaurant. Overall it was a great value, good experience, and would stay again.

PROS:
-The most redeeming thing is the very friendly and helpful reception staff (which is very rare in Cartagena)
-Good location, close to restaurants and supermarkets
-Modern facilities in very good condition
-Includes breakfast, they prepared a vegan breakfast for me although the options were very limited
-Good wifi
-They accept card payment
CONS:
-They should include more options for dietary restrictions in the restaurant and bar, as well as the staff in those sections should be friendlier
-Small pool with few chairs
-They offer tours to private islands: Encanto and Bora Bora, which seemed like a good idea, but the truth is they were disappointing experiences, I do not recommend them

I booked this very hastily as I’d walked out of my original booking. On arrival it was hard to believe what I’d paid for and what I’d got - it also included breakfast.
Very modern, spotless rooms and public areas. It has obviously just been renovated. It’s a short walk to the beach and has a 24 supermarket, pharmacy as well as bars and restaurants on hand. Only let downs are no balconies, and the pool is very small with just 3 beds.

The hotel is fairly new, great location but rooms are very small, not enough space for suitcases or for bathroom toiletries. It is clean and the staff are awfully nice and extremely helpful. Plenty of restaurants around the area and the beach is within walking distance.
