Guest Reviews
- Amariles (5/5): - El desayuno estaba muy bien, la ubicación, realmente esta muy lejos del centro, no es facil conseguir transporte desde allí. A pesar de que esta cerca a la playa, no es una zona muy agradable ya que cerca hay muchos edificios en construcción.
- Alvarez Mejia (10/5): -
- Ivon (10/5): - El jacuzzi y la zona de la terraza
- Marcela (8/5): -
- Monika (1/5): Dreckig, hässlich, unbequem - Gar nichts schmutzige, kaputte Geräte, keine Gläser oder sonstige Annehmlichkeiten in dem Zimmer, das als „Suite“ bezeichnet wurde, völlige Ahnungslosigkeit darüber, wie ein gutes oder zumindest anständiges Hotel aussehen sollte.
- Ana (6/5): - Location was excellent near the beach. Hard to get uber The stairs. Asked for time in jacuzzi that was confirmed but never set up.
- Alfredo (10/5): - It's so close to the beach The mattress needs to be replaced
- Ivan (8/5): -
- lesmes (10/5): - Si
- GERARDO (7/5): - La vista Falta de mantenimiento
- Jorge (8/5): - El servicio de el personal Todo estuvo muy bien
- Yeison (4/5): - Sin comentarios Todo
- Djan (10/5): -
- Beltran (10/5): perfecto - todo en realidad, la atencion seria lo mejor muy cordiales nos hicieron sentir como en casa, muy seguro al lado de muchos comercios, no estan lleno como boca grande y eso era lo que queriamos en un principio asi que cumplio con todas nuestras expectativas, quiero agradecer de nuevo a todo el personal super gentiles y cordiales.
- jose david (1/5): -
- Luis Guillermo (10/5): -
- Gonzalez Posada (1/5): - No me gustó nada. Esta en un estado de insalubridad muy mal. Nada más.entrar en la habitación, me tuve que ir a otro Hotel. En este sitio no me querían devolver el dinero y solo me devolvieron el 50% después de tanto insistir, no llegué a utilizar las instalaciones. Me parece una falta de respeto que un sitio como este opere con normalidad. Tal cual aparece las fotos que adjunto ?, así me entregaron la habitación.
- Madrid (8/5): Más o menos para gustó colores - Que estaba serca de la playa Era muy pequeña la habitación, no closet, cama demasiado dura.
- Hurtado (10/5): -
- Rios (8/5): Buen Hotel - Muy amable el personal, el desayuno delicioso y tiene la playa muy cerquita. La cama muy dura, se demoraban mucho en servir el desayuno y que está muy retirado del centro histórico, si o si hay que tomar taxi, no hay lugares cerca para caminar en la noche.
- Jeff Barrero (8/5): -
- Castellar (10/5): -
- Sebastian (1/5): No lo recomiendo prefiero dormir en el carro que volver allá - Desde el primer día absolutamente nada Pésima atención al cliente, la administradora grosera, mala ubicación
- Luisa Fernanda (1/5): - Mi experiencia en este hotel fue muy negativa. La habitación presentaba cucarachas, hormigas en la cama, humedad y fallas en el aire acondicionado, condiciones que evidencian falta de mantenimiento y aseo general. Al llegar no había personal disponible para mostrar la habitación ni verificar las condiciones, y aunque reclamamos, la única “solución” ofrecida fue un cambio de habitación, lo cual no resuelve un problema estructural de higiene. Dejamos constancia con fotografías con hora y ubicación, y solicitamos la devolución proporcional del dinero por los días no utilizados. El hotel se negó, desconociendo nuestros derechos como consumidores. Hemos puesto en conocimiento de la Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, la Secretaría de Salud Distrital y la Alcaldía de Cartagena para que se adelanten las actuaciones correspondientes. No recomiendo este lugar: la falta de salubridad y la negativa a responder adecuadamente afectan la confianza de los turistas y estudiantes que viajan a Cartagena.

- Uribe (7/5): - La variedad en el desayuno y la atención del personal. La hace falta limpieza y ventilación, huele a humedad y los baños están percudidos.
- Sara Natalie (3/5): - Location Unfortunately, the hygiene inside the room was extremely disappointing. When I entered, it was clear that the cleaning had not been done at all. The floor was covered with many hairs—far more than just one or two. The trash bin hadn’t been emptied, and the balcony was dirty as well. The room includes a small kitchen area, but even the plates were left out instead of being stored in the cupboard. They were covered in dust, clearly not cleaned or maintained. I have photos to show the condition of the room upon arrival. Hygiene should be the most basic standard for any hotel or hostel, regardless of price or luxury level. Unfortunately, this property did not meet those basic expectations.
- Arias (1/5): Me sacaron de la cuenta todo el hospedaje y no quería quedarme allá muy malo - El sector
- DAVID (10/5): - Buen desayuno
- Angelo David (10/5): -
- angel luis (10/5): -
- MARIA FERNANDA (8/5): - La hospitalidad
- Otálvaro Pineda (10/5): - Cerca a la playa y cómodo.
- jerson (10/5): - La ubicación cerca d ella playa ... La habitación amplia y cómoda y la atención del personal te hacen sentir muy bien en tu estancia
- jessica (8/5): - Muy privado, los desayunos excelentes muchas opciones y muy ricos, está ubicado al frente de toda la playa El sector por la parte de atrás, en la noche es más bien maluco y hay que tener mucho cuidado, no hay muchas opciones de restaurantes cerca si no te gusta la comida de mar, de lo contrario si hay bastantes opciones un poco costosas, sería bueno q las habitaciones contarán con alguna nevera
- leiner (5/5): -
- Jacob elias (6/5): - La atención Poca limpieza, la cama tenía cojines que tenían mal olor
- Claudia Andrea (1/5): PeorLo - Sobrevendieron las habitaciones, no nos avisaron, no nos solucionaron y no nos devolvieron el dinero, nos robaron.
- Romero (10/5): - La atención estuvo excelente Los aires presentaban inconvenientes
- Paola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tara (10/5): Comfortable, clean, great value for money. - The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Cool view of the beach from the room. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast. It was lovely to be right across from the beach for a relaxing dip. The kitchenette could be better stocked to allow you to cook some meals for yourself. There is an electric pan.
- Alejandro (1/5): Bad - Nothing It’s not clean small so bad
- Tunstall (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (7/5): Very basic room and service with a shared jacuzzi, but a great view and a super friendly hotel staff - The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly and when the room/facilities did not meet our expectations they offered a full refund which is practically unheard of here in Colombia. Walking distance to the ocean, the beach was lovely. The water warm, the price for the umbrella and chairs was reasonable and the beach staff was nice. You'll get pelted with offers from wandering vendors, and they can be a little persistent sometimes. We had a great afternoon at the beach playing in the water, watching the windsurfers and just enjoying a beautiful day. This part of the experience was very nice. The photos made it seem like the jacuzzi was part of the room. It is not. It is a public jacuzzi on top of the hotel. The jacuzzi was not clean and my partner and I were not comfortable using it. The room was much smaller than it seemed in the photos. The bed was very hard. We didn't sleep in it, just sat on it and it was obvious. The room was clean enough, but there was no refrigerator or any other small amenity other than a couple towels to go with the shower. If we'd know what we were getting into, it would have been fine. But this was a date-night getaway for us and I was anticipating something a lot nicer. The Booking listing had this as a deeply discounted offer and a rare find, so I blame Booking as much as the hotel for a bit of deception.
- Mehmet (7/5): Good -
- Reza (9/5): Worth the price - Good location and friendly staff Water sometimes dosen't run
- Roelo (8/5): Great little hotel in perfect location for short stays - The staff were friendly and very welcoming and accommodating with my requests. The location was perfect with easy walking distance to the beach and parking for my car. When there is a shampoo and conditioner I always love giving a higher score! Thanks for the conditioner. I will use this hotel again in the future. Two of the pillows in the room needed fresh covers. But that is something that I did not even bother complaining to the hotel about as the rest made up for it and I just did not use them.
- Jndsan95 (5/5): Passable - Nice room, quite spacious, nice and helpful staff. The noise. The room under the junior suite which i stayed in is being renovated/rebuilt. I woke up to drilling and banging with hammers every morning at around 8am. I dont understand why it is available to book in these circumstances.
- Yas (3/5): Not recommended - Location The room wasn't as described No ocean view There was a construction in the next room from 6 o'clock The room was not cleaned well and there was plaster sticking to some of the things I saw a big Cockroach in the room
- Justin (9/5): Superb -
- Maciej (5/5): Passable -
- Enrique (9/5): Comfortable and clean - The room was clean and comfortable beds. It wasn't easy to arrive to the hotel. But, just follow the Waze indications.
- Chowdhury (8/5): Very good -
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good - The hotel is right in front of the beach. The bed was confortable
- Kingsley (8/5): Can’t wait to go again - The owner is a very good person. They’ll help you if you need help and it’s great location on the beach ready. Friendly hosts, good neighbors
- Joseph (7/5): Our stay was enjoyable despite the comments above but we wished environmental sanitation was better. - The breakfast was fine but basic. the location was fantastic. The beach is very good. We loved the water there. David and Yerli were always there to help to make us feel comfortable. David helped to organize a tour for us and was always ready to tell us what might be good to see or do. The kitchenette was very useful. And having breakfast brought up to the room was helpful. The room we reserved was not available on the first night we arrived there at 11 p.m. even though we were told ariiving that late was not a problem. So we were put into a musty and smelly room at the base floor of Casa Colors next door.We didn't know that that was not Avadia del Mar until we were having breakfast at Casa Colors and a guest who was staying there clarified. We were given an Avadia del Mar room at 10 a.m. after the sleepless hours we endured in the small, musty and dusty Casa Colors room. Two leaks in the bathroom made us very uncomfortable and they need to be solved for the next person there. The double bed for my wife and I was not spacious enough, a queen size would have been much more comfortable. The metal bed springs in the mattress were not good for someone like me who has back issues. In general, a room for guests should be properly checked before letting a guest stay in it. Little things like a soap holder in the shower would help as would a towel rack. There is one morror in the bath room but surely a mirror in the bedroom would help when we are dressing. There is no closet in the room, but in its place a clothes horse with hangers would have sufficed. But there was none and so our clothes were jumbled up on the impractical shelves and on the bed and the two chairs.
- Santiago (9/5): Superb - Habitaciones independientes
- Willy (8/5): Very good -
- Jinna (7/5): Good - Nice friendly staff. Breakfast is nice Asked them to do my laundry but the laundry came back not completely dry. Asked them to tumble dry. They said yes and returned the clothes to me later but the clothes were not drier than before. The floor of the room was also quite dusty when I first arrived.
- Cerron (9/5): Superb -
- Alnoor (9/5): amazing views and short walk to the beach. - David and his staff are very helpful
- Juan (9/5): Superb -
- Miller (7/5): Good - Inside the apartment is nice. The jacuzzi wasn't available. Everything else was good Shady location, but it's right on the beach. The owner is helpful and friendly
- David (10/5): Exceptional - The rooftop and the view on the beach. Very close to the Kite clubs The taxi driver have a hard time to find the place
- Afonso (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shardul (10/5): Exceptional - The location is great right at the beach and the terrace . The host overall is very helpful and kind. Things can get a bit over priced if you order them from the host, but that is service charge I presume.. the I term speed in the room was slow but he tried to fix it and then it worked well next day.
- Suzane (5/5): Passable -
- Zaneta (10/5): Exceptional - Owners are super nice and friendly people. Something you can hardly find in Europe. Place is very clean, safe, right on the beach, just little hard if you have a car. Highly recommended to anyone!
- Alice (5/5): Disappointing - The host family was lovely and tried to make up for what went wrong. For example, since apparently there were no restaurants nearby open at that time (9pm), they ordered a delivery for me. Internet worked fine for working. They bring you breakfast in the room. The terrace has a nice view. Unfortunately, a lot of things went wrong: - asked for the transfer service from the airport and re-confirmed twice, but nobody showed up - once at the place, I had to wait about 20 minutes as the owner wasn't on site (apparently he had to buy medicines for his son, so maybe this was just an unfortunate coincidence) - the location is difficult to find for taxi drivers and is in a sketchy alley - I wasn't given any handsoap (let alone shower gel) - breakfast was supposed to be served from 7am, but I found nobody; I texted the owner and they brought it in my room, it was ok, nothing fancy (scrambled eggs in a couple of options, that's it)
- Diana (4/5): Disappointing -
- Hinu (10/5): Exceptional - David and his staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome at his place. We had the top floor room with ocean views and a balcony right on the beach front. There was a nice breakfast every morning and the room was always clean. The room is very spacious with a nice comfortable bed and big TV with netflix etc. The place is right on the beach front, close to supermarkets, bus stop, bars and cafes. Perfect stay
