You can not miss Cartagena as one of the most spectacular colonial city in the world.

1. Does not have direct access to the beach. The beach area consists of a poorly maintained bar and tents. Of course, if you want to use one you have to drag a cheap dirty plastic chair. We opted to rent a tent next to the hotel because it had two cheap plastic chaise launges 2. After spending a full day at the beach we came back to our room at 4pm […] to shower, rest and get ready for an early dinner and found out our room was still not cleaned. We called and asked for someone to come in and clean our room, no apologies or explanations were given. 3. The restaurans in the hotel are 2 star at best. their menu is very limited and caters to the locals. I spent 5 days at this hotel and every day I found myself with the same options like rice and beans, chicken dishes, and other colombian dishes. About their restaurants ..you have to make reservations wich is normal for resorts, but in this hotel you have to get up before 8am to make sure you get a timeslot you want. We tried the seafood restaurant and was very dissapointing, very limited I guess they spend more on fish that is cheaper than on other seafood; of course, you will not find calamari, lobster or any of that. To sum up, I loved Catrtagena but would not stay at this hotel if I go back to this city Read more

only thing i did not like was that there was no internet in the rooms. you could buy internet downstairs around the bar which was slow, otherwise very nice and good food.

We really enjoyed our stay, the staff are very welcoming and helpful at anything being asked. The entertainment provided and daily events surrounding the pool area are excellent, don't miss out on this free entertainment. The only thing that we disliked was the constant pressure of re-booking the hotel for future stays, but they will leave you alone […] if you respectfully tell them to do so. Read more

First of all I should say that the Decameron is not a bad hotel. The amenities are endless, the security is tighter than Fort Knox and the views from the upper floors are breathtaking. That being said, for the price that I paid I was expecting a little more from the room in the way of creature comforts. There was no A/C in the room, the bathroom was […] small and cramped, the decoration was minimal. Basically it was a bare room with the essentials thrown in. Once again I'd like to reiterate that I expected more for the price, if it had been more reasonable I would not have been so critical. Read more

Although I seemed to be the only english speaking guest at the Decameron in Cartagena Colombia, I was looked after very graciously! I have stayed at the Royal Decameron Flamingos in Puerto Vallarta three times this last year and prefer this chain of hotels. The hotel was very clean, my room was clean and comfortable. I found the bed alittle hard but […] nothing to really complain about. The views from the hotel are outstanding as it is right on the beach. I found the food delicious even though it is different than what we generally eat in Canada. It's good to be open to new experiences culinary wise My only suggestion would be to have a bottle of water in the room itself in addition to the water cooler in the hallways. The Bartender Roy was a gem. I like bloody marys and he made a special effort to find the ingredients to make them and then he delivered them to my poolside chair. excellent service, thank Roy! Check in and out flowed smoothly and I felt safe during my stay Read more

Everything was excellent. The rooms were clean, the staff was amazing, it's across the street from the beach, the food is wonderful. It's a perfect hotel for any type of vacation or getaway - families, couples, friends, people of all ages were enjoying themselves. We loved it.

Although we were welcomed earlier than the 3PM check in. However, to get a Room Lock key (Which is necessary and THE HOTEL charges extra for....) took us ~ 5 Hrs.... It is a complete disorganization chaos the front desk... No one knows anything.... (Including the management.). They just turn their back at you and let you talking by yourself... Hotel […] sponsored tours were a mess. They did not inform the operator of reservations and they left us and at least 2 more couples without the tours we purchased. Manager tried to help, but there's not really much he could do.... Anything you do takes 5, 6 signatures and a bunch of paperwork. The pool is extremely small for the size of the hotel. Operates only 8am to 6pm. Going outside is asking to have at least 5-6 people trying to sell every sort of things things and services. (I saw a lot of people stranded waiting for these services that never happened..PURE SCAM)). Saying 'NO' only make them follow you around, until you either get into a cab or get back to the hotel. The bad stinks so bad my wife decided to sleep in the floor. The Management was notified. The pillows and bed clothes they brought smelled even worse.... the food was OK. Not perfect, but good. Service for dinner sucks. You have to make reservations early in the morning to try to get the food you like. Otherwise, you have to get whatever is left. If you are seafood allergic and that's what's available, then.... Too bad. There's no other options to eat after 6PM. The bar is open until 2AM, but no food. You will have to go out (face the street vendors and the danger) and eat outside. Nevertheless, unless you are to choose at 5 star hotel, it is probably the best in the area, and the only one 'almost fully 'ALL INCLUSIVE'. We had to stay an extra night in town, and picked another supposedly 'ALL INCLUSIVE' for an extra night... It made this Hotel look like paradise..... Read more

Decameron Cartagena good is 3 star hotel, the check-in process was fast however we were given a dark room and the window faced an interior wall; we requested a new room and they they gave us a nice room with view to the sea on next day. The general condition of the hotel is good, it is clean, well mantained, safe and located in a good area of the city; […] however some small details would make it look more modern and appealing; I would suggest the owners to make the following improvements: 1) Install electronic keys on the doors 2) Buy new furniture, the one our room looked 25 years old 3) Replace the old 17" CRT TVs with LCD ones Read more

The all inclusive aspect is fantastic. The hotel also makes sure that you are taken care of on the adjacent beach. The rooms are outdated and the temperature control is not that comfortable. Things like TV and room ammenities are not good, but you don't go there to stay in the room. For overall experience, I would go there again. Food was good and drinks […] anytime is fantastic.

The hotel, service, location were all right. Unfortunately, the beach was really miserable\: as consecuence it is a good all inclusive city hotel: not a beach hotel.

I just stayed seven days at Decameron Cartagena. I was deeply pleased with the hotel. People were really friendly, food was pretty good and you have plenty of choices. I was expecting a three star hotel and not only me, but my family had a terrific time there. The Rosario Island tour was great. You must do the snorkeling class. My daughters had a lot […] of fun. We have been in Egypt, Portugal, Canada and some other countries and Cartagena has nothing to envy from the other places. I highly recommend this place to stay. Good price for all you get. Read more

Location and food were reasonable. Sharing tables at dinner was not nice, elevators not working, small pool and lobby for the size of the hotel. Food is only available at restaurant times (not like the typical all inclusive), If you love coffee like me, be ready to look for it. All the hotel needs to be refurbished.

Muy recomendable

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Muy buena , la atención y respeto del personal muy especial , la comida en los restaurantes mucho mejor que la del buffete, los shows muy buenos aunque en las actividades deberán mejorar y ser mas prolongadas , deben adquirir equipos de distracción de mar. Pero en general muy bueno

El hotel es Bonito, la habitación que me correspondió fue bastante espaciosa con una buena vista. el hotel está bien pero podria ser mejor ya que he estado en otros hoteles decameron de mejor calidad. este no cuenta con playa privada es simplemente una torre de edificios con una Piscina en el primer piso muy pequeña para la capacidad del hotel y a la […] cual no le da mucha luz. esta bien ubicado a 5 cuadras largas de la ciudad amurallada, sepuede ir caminando o en bus o taxi, la playa es molesta ya que al ser publica hay muchos vendedores. Tuve la oportunidad de ir al Decameron de barú en esta mismo viaje y de verdad la diferencia de hoteles es enorme. No lo recomiendo para descansar es mucho mejor ir al de barú es espectacular este hotel. Read more

Realmente mala, las fotos de las habitaciones no son reales, cobran por los servicios como la caja de seguridad, al personal le falta muchísimo por mejorar la atención al público

en realidad estaba predispuesta antes de llegar al hotel, por los malos comentarios que había leído. pero estando alla cambio todo, las intalaciones, la vista al mar, la atencion de los trabajadores y la comida fue excelente, volveria a Decameron sin pensarlo.

Comidas malas, sin variedad - capacidad comedor insuficiente OBLIGAN a compartir mesas - habitacion minuscula sin frigobar- la excursion a la Isla del Sol (del Hotel) es muy mala ya que tiene una playa pequeña que apenas entran las reposeras - cuando se vuelve de las excursiones son las 16.50 y el te se toma hasta las 16,30 asi que el All Inclusive […] te lo guardas - Todos los dias hay que reclamar las toallas y champu ya que se olvidan de poner cuando hacen la habitacion - un dia no tuvimos agua caliente en la ducha - Read more

La estadía en el hotel fue muy buena, sólo le haría dos recomendaciones, una el aire acondicionado que se pueda graduar a gusto de los clientes, pues estuvo muy frio, y que modifiquen la hora de entrada a la discoteca tipo 9 p.m., pues a las 11 p.m. es muy tarde para quienes no somos noctambulos y queremos bailar un rato.

1-É inadmissível que um Hotel deste porte não ofereça acesso á Internet WI-FI gratuíto ! 2-É inadmissível que um Hotel deste porte não ofereça cofre de segurança gratuito !!!! Alem do mais é uma segurança para o proprio Hotel , pois qualquer hóspede que alegue ter sido roubado no seu quarto certamente ganhará a demanda pois o Hotel não oferece o cofre […] gratuíto !!! 3-Num clima tropical e quente como Cartagena haviam poucas opções de fruta como sobremesa no almoço !

este hotel no llena las expectativas de otros decameron,es muy viejo con gran olor a humedad en la habitaciones poco mantenimiento y una encargada de servicio a huespedes????altanera y prepotente ,una noche mi esposa y yo nos quitamos las pulseras porque estabam muy ajustadas y teniamos morada la muñeca y al otro dia al querer reponerlas esta encargada […] nos indico o mas regaño diciendo que no se debe hacer eso y que cada pulsera seria repuesta por 60 000 pesos colombianos cada una ,unos 30 dolares cada una,ridiculo y desde luego no aceptamos el cargo entablandose una discusion inutil ,finalmente no las pagamos....algunos de los empleados de restaurantes son prepotentes al asignar mesas para cena que son compartidas y las apartan a quien les da una "propina" o de lo contrario te mandan a una mala mesa ,el hecho que las propinas esten incluidas da pauta a mal servicio. pesimo hotel no se lo recomiendo a nadie,como ya estaban pagadas las dos noches por ustedes quise cancelar una y cambierme al hilton y no me lo permitieron.no volveremos a este hotel jamas.

Prijs per persoon per nacht voor All-inclusive, betekent hier ook echt 'all'. Uitstekende prijs/kwaliteit verhouding. Keuze uit vier restaurants geeft veel variatie. Naast zwembad ook strand met zee. Fantastisch uitzicht op oude centrum Cartagena. geschikt voor zowel kleine kinderen als voor volwassenen.

En la noche de llegada al hotel completamos al check-in. Luego de hacerlo la recepcionista nos informó que no tenían habitaciones disponibles por lo que nos colocaban en otro hotel. Mientras esperábamos que organizaran nuestro transfer a ese otro fuimos al restaurante del Decameron en donde nos robaron el bolso con dinero y pasaporte. Reclamamos al […] agente de servicio quien hizo venir a la policía. Hubo un registro pero no se encontró nada. El día siguiente reclamamos ante la gerenta quien nos dijo que el hotel sólo se hace responsable de los robos en las habitaciones, no en las áreas sociales. Ni siquiera hay cámaras de seguridad. Obviamente no nos robaron en la habitación porque no la tenían. El hotel no nos ofreció ni siquiera excusas y menos aún indemnizaciones. En suma, un hotel infame con una gerente infame. Read more
