Hotels near Monumento India Catalina, Cartagena

Excellent service. staff working there is very friendly and service. food is very good, the menu is varied and healthy. The hotel is very well located, allowing you to visit and know different sites nearby, including the beach.

I loved the service and the great people—especially Gabriel Bulleestero (sp?) and Bernardo A. The restaurant is in a great location within the walled city, and there are lots of spots to sit and have a beverage nearby. The pool has many cabanas and loungers available. The food offerings at the breakfast buffet were very nice and palatable.

The double room was perfect. The eternity pool was disappointing, there is no sun until midday as the pool is located on the west of the building and covered by it. When the sun finally shows up there are no umbrellas or any shady areas to protect you if you need to. The lone restaurant operating on the premises is hit and miss at best. The worse of it is the surroundings, the Calle 1 running in front of the hotel along the beach is always crowded with honking taxis. the sidewalks as most Bocagrande sidewalks are like obstacle courses, full of potholes, uneven, sometimes blocked by parking cars. The beach in front of the hotel is ugly with no running water or electricity, so most of the food or juices sold there are suspicious and should be avoided in my opinion. And lastly, the vendors and pedlers are a continuous nuisance, everybody tries to sell you something from trinkets to drinks but at least they are not aggressive, once you tell them to leave you alone they usually do so.

Location was great, right beside the beach and easy walking distance to many restaurants in Bocagrande. Breakfast was included and the buffet selection was varied and tasty. On our last day we checked out in the morning and stored our luggage for the day. I explained to the clerk at the front desk we were going to Playa Blanca for the day and asked if we could get some beach towels and she said no problem. She also suggested that when we return later that afternoon to get our luggage we could use the showers and change room beside the pool to change out of our beachwear. I thought this was great service considering that we were technically no longer guests. That kind of service will keep us returning to Hotel Dann.

This my 8th time here since my bday 2021 and my 3rd birthday so I’m quite familiar w the hotel and staff. I truly enjoy all the amenities, location , ample parking , sauna and steam …on site spa…Yada yada yada. I had a problem last year and mgmt stepped up and went above and beyond to make me feel special. This time they had a convention and wound up giving away my reserved room ( I booked my flight 23 Nov 2023 soooo I’m positive I booked the hotel same day). Naturally they gave me the “corporate “ response but I was calm and insistent that I wanted equal or better to my first and only choice ( I’ve had the same executive suite all 8 stays ). I’d like to send a very special shout out and super big thanks to Valentina who I just met and to my buds Eduardo and Rafael for taking the extra time and patience to find me an even better choice….now I’m spoiled and canNOT go back to the regular exec suite, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; treat people w respect and it’ll come back tenfold and it’s people like those three that make the difference, not AI or Sr mgmt…the people on the front line. Thanks for continuing to make one guy feel special

Location: City Center (Old Town Cartagena) is 15 min- 25 min away depending on traffic. If you don't care about seeing old town, then this may be ok. The hotel is located at La Boquilla next to a bad neighborhood, so be aware of people harassing you at the beach at all times, and keep an eye on your belongings. When you leave the hotel always walk to the right towards the city, don't go left or you may find yourself in a very bad location really fast. This is a special note to women traveling to Colombia. Hotel: Clean, food is ok not great, staff was friendly except for the people at the front desk. They seemed to be always busy, and behind their daily duties, so they will rush you, and not give you proper attention, they need at least another person at the front desk at peak hours. Pool is ok, service at the pool was good. They will ask you to provide a pass to get a towel, so don't loose the pass or the towel, you may get charged for it. (Not a fancy systems) Reminds me of hotels in Colombia back in the 80's when towels were a luxury. Beach: Biggest disappointment of the trip, water is dark, and the sand is gray/brown. You cannot see your feet with a foot of water on them. Note that as soon as you come out of the hotel towards the Beach there is a security guard from the Hotel at the door, part of his job is to advised you to watch your belongings, and not to buy anything from beach vendors. This gives you an idea of this beach. Forget about bringing your own umbrella or beach chair, there are vendors that have taken possession of the beach by renting umbrellas and chairs, if you don't rent from them, you will be left out to use a small portion of the beach very close to the water. My advised is to pay the $5 dollars and rent from them. Beach vendor will harass you all day long. Avoid buying food and always ask prices up front before ordering drinks or anything else. There are horror stories of people paying $25 for a Coke. I don't recommend this place for families, or for single women visiting the city, much better options in Bocagrande or Old town. The place is ok for single guys or business. Hope this helps,

Excellent experience. My 6-year-old son enjoyed the hotel too much. People are willing to meet any need for the experience to be unmatched. Having the possibility to enjoy the beach with all the security is something fundamental for the rest.

Schöne Unterkunft. Hervorragender Service und super freundliches Personal. Dairo Martinez, Gloria und ihre Kolleginnen und Kollegen waren super. Das Aktivitäten Angebot war angemessen. In die SUP könnte etwas investiert werden um den Fun Faktor zu erhöhen. Die Cocktails waren gut aber etwas Teuer. Die privaten Touren waren gut organisiert durch die guides und es wurde auf die persönlichen Wünsche eingegangen.
