Cartagena Vacations from $698

Most comfortables hotel bed I ever slept in. A couch would have been nice and our room was up a large set of stairs and had no personal out door space and the patio doors don’t open so it felt very restricted. The pool was great but there was not enough shade. The road the hotel is on is so rough to walk into town on that made it challenging at times. Location was good though and close the markets. 10 min walk to the beach. Sadly they do not provide beach towels. All in all we enjoyed our stay here and the staff was amazing.

We had a great night stay here as a family - the rooms are really incredible, staff can't do enough for you and were so great with our young kids. The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because I felt the pictures on Expedia of all the greenery and trees surrounding the rooms isn't what it looked like in real life - maybe that's on me for the season we booked a stay (?) but we weren't up among the trees like I expected from the pics, more a stay on a hilltop. Either way I would recommend and really glad we stayed here - one night was enough with young kids.

Very nice and clean place. Highly recommend.

Our family had a great time at RIU Palace. The staff is amazing! We made many new friends there!

Really impressed with the resort overall. Very well suited for families with young children with water park, entertainment. Not a good spot for people who want an adult only environment. Food at the restaurants was great except for the Steakhouse Restaurant which we were a bit disappointed in the quality of the food. No lineups to get in to the restaurants and nice variety to choose from. Our room (3032) was exceptional with an amazing view of the pool and ocean sunsets over the mountains. Our family in room 118 had sewer smells in their bathroom that was never resolved. Housekeeping restocking was rarely fully done. Not an huge issue for us but we always seem to be missing something, soap refill or facecloths or towels which would be resolved a day or two later.
