Cartagena: A magical place famous for weddings and honeymoons.
Cartagena is very hot and humid during the summer months. Shorts, sandals, and loose clothing is recommended. Cartagena is a tourist city and a strict dress code is not expected nor enforced. The hotel location is excellent, 15 min. drive from the airport (for personal safety I had a cab pick-up arranged thru the hotel for 21,000., Colombian pesos), 10 min. cab ride to the walled city (5,000. Colombian pesos), and accross the street from the beach. I found posted reviews to be accurate as to the insistence of vendors on the beach and the street. It can be annoying, like flyes around your food (apt metaphore), but Colombian people are generally, and overwhelmingly, peaceful, respectful, and polite. The only shortcoming I found with the hotel, and also covered in a posted review, was the pool size and limited available lounge chairs. However, the staff's excellent service makes-up for it. The concierges are very helpful with general information and booking tours. One of them, Juan Carlos, is particularly memorable for his attention to detail and professional demeanor. He was also recognized in a posted review. Colombia has improved greatly during the past four years. Colombia is much safer and the standard of living has risen. Flat screen T.V monitors are in elevators and everyone seems to hold a mobile (for us cellular) phone in hand (for 250 pesos per minute you can rent mobile phones from street vendors to make local calls). As such, Colombia is not as inexpensive as it once was. However, compared to the European market, you can't beat it. Please remember to advise your credit card companies and bank of your travel so your plastic won't be cancelled (anti-fraud software). The hotel staff will suggest you exchange at currency exchange places for a better rate. Enjoy!
