From the moment we arrived to our 6:30 am departure (with lovely bagged breakfasts in hand) we were treated like royalty. This hotel is as close to perfect as a hotel can be. Be sure to try their restaurant for lunch or dinner. They’ve crafted a fusion of local fare with Lebanese and the resulting dishes are amazing.

Perfect Spot and Glorius Suite!
A quick 3-day stay was not enough to fully enjoy Cartagena and especially the Suite Conde de Pestagua! The suite alone is glorious, and the private rooftop lounge and pool made it truly special. Everyone was exceedingly friendly and professional. Overall, a wonderful experience and we can't wait to return!
