Caribe is an amazing hotel! I was apprehensive about booking this hotel based on several bad reviews that I read. I'm here to tell you to BOOK IT NOW! The hotel is a historic jewel. It has a vintage vibe that may be off-putting for some but what it lacks in modernization it makes up for in amenities. The rooms are not fancy but they are clean, comfortable, and a decent size. The grounds, however, are totally glorious! The landscaping is beautifully manicured, there are several amazing pools and hot tubs, the dining area is picturesque, the breakfast buffet is tasty, the staff are attentive, and the property is practically a zoo for well kept exotic animals. There is not a better resort in Colombia for this price point. I plan on returning to Colombia just to stay here again.

This is one of the best hotels I've visited period. Given that, this hotel was the site for filming a scene of the show "Betty La Fea" and for the beauty queen pageant. The staff here is amazing and so kind to make you feel at home. The amount of things to do, such as the pool, sauna, sun tanning, isn't even scratching the surface. It is quite literally next to Boca Grande beach. The best of all for me is the different animals on the premises such as macaws, sloths, and deers. Highly recommended. I'll be returning here almost exclusively any time I come to Cartagena.
