OZ Hotel Collection
The hotel is amazing, only downside is the rooms are a little on the smaller side but still manageable for 2 people.

Hilton Cartagena
The breakfast buffet and omelette bar are always great. I’d advise eating inside. Although the view outside is wonderful, the birds always look to steal some food. It’s very funny.

Sonesta Hotel Cartagena
Breakfast was good. The rooms need updating and a little more attention as there was mosquitos inside the restroom and a large dead waterbug inside the room.
