Good time at Dreams Cartagena! Amazing attentive staff all the way around. Sebastian at the reception is getting it done when my The Air conditioner is not working in the my room.The pool staff nice and ready to call you in a workout! Thank you Elmer, karen, Kenier, George. Chef Ingrid at the portofino excellent and consistently great foods. Authentic resort ! Lots of locals and maybe less International crowd. Food was ok except for the Italian restaurant which was great! Don’t expect an American resort it is Not! Beach water is warm with black sand beach! Enjoyed our stay!

Loved it!
This was our 1st trip to Colombia and we found the Dreams Karibana to be a great place to call home. The hotel is big and bright with a friendly and welcoming staff and the entertainment team was amazing, with so many fun activities and classes like yoga, Spanish lessons, salsa classes and more. And the free shuttle to the walled city is great, we went 4 times!
