Where to stay in Cartagena? Why choose Hotel Decameron

"Great hotel, great price, plenty of food and drinks!”

I spent a total of 5 days here and this being my first trip to Columbia I couldn't have imagined it to be better. The check in was a bit slow, mainly because we spoke only English little spanish and they were waiting for a translator but otherwise the staff was friendly, informative with their gestures and made us feel welcome all of the time. My room was located on the 20th floor and the view was amazing, was super clean with all amenities. 

The hotel has 5 restaurants, a large pool, all inclusive of food and drinks !
The hotel is located in the heart of bocagrande Cartagena, super safe area completely surrounded by restaurants, shop, malls. The old city is 20 minutes walking and the beach is just in front of the main entrance.
The quality of the the service is one of the best I've ever felt. The people is super nice always trying to make you feel comfortable.The night atmosphere around the bar was probably my favorite part of Decameron Cartagena, although you'd be better off drinking in the Historic District.

Here's a tip for you. Visit the jewelry store at the hotel and swing a deal with Soraya, she is a great help and most pieces can be custom made in a few days. She speaks English very well and is always willing to help out even outside of her duties at the store.

Another tip. Beware of the vendors on the beach, they can be very persistent. The hotel does not let them on the compound but they are plentiful just outside at every entrance and exit. These beach vendors can be a real pain but just be firm.

Overall I enjoyed the hotel, staff and city.
