I had a wonderful time. I really wanted to use the jacuzzi but all 4 has dirty brown water and tiles. Should be cleaned or replaced. I think the place other than that was incredible. Please fix the jacuzzi. Is a main reason I chose this hotel and would not get in.

We stayed because of the good price for the room, and because it has the largest pool complex in Cartagena. If it's billing itself as a five star hotel it's not. The god: large pool complex our kids really enjoyed, free monitored parking, plenty of wait staff around the pool. The bad: It's run down and could use a refresh inside and out. There aren't enough lifeguards and the ones who are there didn't seem attentive. Slippery pool surfaces. It has a private beach, but (not Hilton's fault) lots of trash in the water/washed up on the beach. Paper thin walls - we could hear both conversations at normal volumes and someone coughing and coughing until they vomited in the room next to us late and night and early in the morning. Breakfast is an absurd $20 per adult and $10 per kid. Ultimately, if you are going for the pool it's a great option. Anything else, and we probably wouldn't stay there again.

Disappointing and Disturbing Experience – Would Not Recommend Sadly, I did not enjoy my stay at the Hilton Cartagena Hotel. Our nightmare began on the very first night. After returning from a late dinner, we went to sleep, only to be abruptly woken around 2:00 AM by someone banging on our room door. Naturally, I didn’t open it. A few minutes later, the banging started again. Once more, we ignored it. Then the room phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was the front desk. Thinking it must be an emergency, I answered in a panic—only to be greeted by an incredibly rude man accusing us of smoking in the room and threatening to charge our card. Mind you, we were fast asleep, no smoke alarm was going off, and we do not smoke. I explained this calmly, but the man dismissed me and hung up. No apology. No clarification. Just accusations in the middle of the night. At 6:30 AM, I went downstairs to make sure we weren’t being charged. The front desk manager assured me he'd look into it and get back to us—but we never heard a word after that. From that point on, the front desk staff treated us like we had done something wrong. We got cold stares and uncomfortable energy every time we passed by. It genuinely felt like we were being judged the entire rest of our stay. Between the false accusations, the lack of professionalism, and the uncomfortable atmosphere, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I expected much better from a Hilton property.
