Our wedding in Cartagena was fantastic! we had a great time and we stayed at the Santa Clara. We got a nice room, the breakfast was fantastic, I think it is good for couples but not great for families. The wedding was planned by Caribe Cordial at the Pestagua which was another fantastic hotel and some of our guest stayed there. Santa Clara is elegant, great service and very good food.
a beautiful hotel, nice large rooms, excellent service, in the romantic and historical old city, great bar and music, pool and spa, the gym is small and there are no weights, the thermastats run very cold, private island and boat, near a supermarket, 15 walk from the center of the old city

too expensive for what it is
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/15/08
We stayed at Santa Clara Cartagena Colombia for 5 days one suite and an extra bed room Suite price was 770$ per night without a breakfast .. No complimentary coffee or tea in the room.. Service was lauzy and very slow . One towel for 2 people in the suite .. No internet..
We had to ask everyday almost for the water.. If they remember ...
What a great experience, an overall friendly atmosphere, relaxed hotel in the middle of the town with great access to everything. I will certainly come back

Nothing Special
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/03/06
There are three things that I look for in a hotel: 1) Service 2) Decoration 3) Uniqueness
The service was definitely not there. In fact, I had a situation in which one of the bartenders asked me if I wanted to do a side deal where I would pay the bartender on the side in exchange for free drinks. Definitely not the kind of thing you would ...

Overpriced and Under Service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/02/06
Sofitel is not a good hotel in Cartagena. It has gotten expensive and overpriced. Next time I go to Cartagena, I will stay at Casa El Carretero, my friend Ana staid in Casa El Carretero a month ago and her experience was awsome. It is a boutique hotel in El Getsemani and it includes breakfast and internet access.
