"Fantastische Menschen in einem mittelmäßigen Hotel"

6.0

Die Bewertung des Hotels fällt mir persönlich sehr schwierig. Das Personal ist extrem freundlich gewesen, man hat sich von der ersten Sekunde an Willkommen gefühlt und wurde den ganzen Urlaub fast überall direkt mit Namen angesprochen. Auch die Anlage selbst ist sehr ansprechend gestaltet, vom Restaurant über den Pool-Bereich bis hin zu den Liegen am Strand.

Leider fällt das Hotel jedoch in dem wichtigsten Punkt eines Standurlaubs stark ab: dem Strand. Das Hotel selbst liegt inmitten Mangroven und verfügt nur über zwei sehr kleine Strände. Das Wasser ist morgens noch halbwegs genießbar aber spätestens Nachmittags ist es so voll mit Algen, Dreck und Müll, dass Schwimmen dort nur wenig Spaß macht. Dafür kann das Hotel selbst natürlich nur wenig, aber es ändert ja nichts an der Tatsache. Aber auch im (schönen) Pool ist das Schwimmen quasi nicht möglich, da mir (1,85m) das Wasser selbst an der tiefsten Stelle gerade mal bis zum Bauchnabel ging. Alle, die beim Strandurlaub also auch gerne mal schwimmen, werden hier Probleme haben. Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung (die Betten sind super!) aber eine Renovierung würde sicherlich nicht schaden, vor allem bei den Superior Zimmern. "In Ordnung" ist auch das Essen, es ist wirklich nicht schlecht aber gemessen am Preis einfach viel zu teuer, genau so wie die Getränke. 11 € für einen Aperol Spritz sind eher deutsche Großstadtpreise und selbst für Karibik-Verhältnisse einfach überzogen. Das Frühstück ist für Urlaubszeiten viel zu früh (7:30 - 9:30 Uhr) und sobald mal mehr Menschen da sind, fehlt es links und rechts am Essen. Insgesamt würde ich dem Hotel aufgrund der warmherzigen Menschen gerne mehr Punkte geben, aber der Rest des Hotels gibt das einfach nicht her. Nichts ist hier wirklich "schlecht" aber für den Preis ist das, was man bekommt insgesamt leider zu wenig. Wir würden bei der nächsten Reise ein anderes Hotel aussuchen.

"This is a MUST DO if you go to Cartagena!"

10.0

Family dining experience for lunch during our most recent trip to Cartagena Bolívar Colombia. We always take a day to rent a private boat from Boats4U to cruise around the Caribbean and explore the islands and visit floating bars, beaches and our favorite restaurant located in this beautiful island hotel. The service is always on-point: not at all invasive, but rather perfectly attentive. The food exquisitely prepared, presented in an exceptional 5-star manner, and stunningly delectable. I ordered the SHRIMP AND BLACK-EYED PEA RICE ($87,000 Colombian Pesos=$23.50USD) Coconut seasoned apastelado rice (local risotto) with cilantro, chives, shrimp white clams, and black-eyed peas. OUTSTANDING dish recommended by our guide Andes! My son had a CHEESEBURGER that he described as the best he’d ever had—it looked moist and handmade. My wife had the FRIED RED SNAPPER ($25USD): Whole fresh snapper, perfectly fried and served with traditional coconut rice, crispy patacones, and a salad. I tasted the Snapper—PERFECTLY DELICIOUS! My daughter ordered the PESCA DEL DÍA (fried catch of the day—Sea bass—about $25USD) served with patacón (fried green plantain), coconut rice, and salad. I also tasted this dish including the fried plantain and it was delicious. Finally, we had a variety of non-alcoholic tropical mocktails!

krásné ubytování na klidném místě Baru, na pláži jsou mangrovníky, takže není úplně čistá voda, nicméně toto kompenzuje pěkný bazén s palmami
