Top Cartagena Hotel Reviews

Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beach view was great. Staff were very helpful"

Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very spacious and very clean and comfortable. It was also quiet and I slept very well. I didn't get breakfast because the restaurant doesn't open until 6am and I had to take the shuttle to the airport at 5:30 am. The airport shuttle driver was professional and courteous."

Villas Sol Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was awesome. The only thing we didn’t like much was the food which was very standard. Also, when you buy the buffet, they include two alcoholic beverages, which brings the price up unnecessarily."
