Why this destination is a must-visit
Cartagena: Roman heritage, seafaring charm and unforgettable flavours
Founded by the Carthaginians and later transformed by the Romans, Cartagena is one of Spain’s most fascinating historic cities. Ancient monuments, a vibrant waterfront and a rich culinary tradition make it a destination full of character.
What you shouldn't miss:
- The Roman Theatre: Cartagena's greatest treasure. Hidden beneath the city for centuries and only rediscovered in 1988, it is one of the most impressive Roman theatres in Spain. Its museum and monumental architecture are truly spectacular.
- The Roman Forum District: One of the largest urban archaeological sites in the country. Walk along ancient Roman streets, visit historic baths and discover the sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis.
- The Port and the Peral Submarine: The waterfront promenade is perfect for a stroll. Here you can see the original prototype of the electric submarine designed by Cartagena-born inventor Isaac Peral in 1888, a landmark in engineering history.
- Concepción Castle and its views: Take the panoramic lift to reach this hilltop fortress. From the top, you'll enjoy incredible views over the harbour, the historic centre and the hills that have protected Cartagena for centuries.
Our recommendation
Don't leave without trying a traditional Asian Coffee, Cartagena's signature drink. Made with coffee, condensed milk, brandy, Licor 43, cinnamon and lemon peel, it's a local speciality with plenty of character.

Lo único bueno del hotel es la amabilidad del personal
Very basic buffet, and something that surprised me for the worse was the number of flies walking over the food — it was disgusting. It is extremely hot, there are no green areas, just concrete that retains the heat. The area is barren and the beach is unusable. And if you were hoping to relax, there’s no peaceful atmosphere by the pool either: loudspeaker music all day and the entertainers using a microphone constantly. We stayed five days and it was disappointing.
Buffet muy básico, y algo que me ha sorprendido para mal es la cantidad de moscas paseandose por encima de la comida es asqueroso. Hace muchísimo calor , no hay zonas verdes todo hormigón que acumula el calor.La zona es desértica , la playa no puede usarse .Y si piensas en un lugar para desconectar tampoco hay animación en la piscina todo el día con un altavoz de música y las animadoras con el micro todo el día. Hemos estado 5 días y han sido decepcionantes

Too much contrast between the heat outside and the air conditioning inside. The location. There is nothing nearby for a walk or to buy anything.
Demasiado contraste entre el calor de fuera y el aacc de dentro. La ubicación. No hay nada alrededor para dar un paseo o comprar....

Fui con mi pareja, ambos coincidimos que el alojamiento es un lugar donde ir a desconectar. El personal un encanto, las habitaciones estupendas y se nos hicieron muy cortas las vacaciones y nos quedamos con muchas ganas de volver!
When we arrived we found pool tiles on the floor and throughout the week part of the pool was broken. The infrastructure needs a bit more care, some filler and paint for the whole building, and almost all of the sun loungers were yellow (they were white). We asked for a picnic to eat outside and they gave us a dry sandwich, a small juice, a water and a little fruit, nothing special for a meal.
Cuando llegamos nos encontramos azulejos de la piscina por el suelo y toda la semana estuvo una parte de la piscina rota. Falta un poco de mimo en las infraestructuras, hace falta un poco de masilla y pintura todo el edificio, y las tumbonas casi todas estaban amarillas (eran blancas). Pedimos en picnic para comer fuera y nos dieron un sándwich seco, un zumito, un agua y un poco de fruta, nada del otro mundo para ser comida.

El hotel es amplio, las piscinas una maravilla,para los niños hay mucha animación.
Tienen un gimnasio bastante completo al que le haría falta una buena limpieza.
The food can improve quite a bit.
The surroundings where the hotel is located are a pity, it’s not worth it.
We went to see the beach and it’s mud and desolate.
When you turned on the air conditioning in the room, it smelled rotten.
The TV kept turning off, it kept losing signal.
The shower water leaked out everywhere and flooded the bathroom.
For me, the hotel has a lot of façade but does not meet my expectations and the surroundings are dismal.
La comida puede mejorar bastante.
El entorno donde está el hotel es una pena, no vale nada.
Fuimos a ver la playa y es fango y desolado.
Cuando ponías el aire acondicionado en la habitación olía a podrido.
La tele se apagaba continuamente se quedaba sin señal.
El agua de la ducha se salía toda y se inundaba el baño.
Para mi el hotel tiene mucha fachada pero no cumple mis expectativas y el entorno es penoso.

Habitaciones y baños amplios. Buenas piscinas. Comidas variadas, unas veces mejor y otras peor. En general, buena atencion del personal aunque a alguno le faltaba una dosis de entusiasmo y, en comedor, falta de personal que se plasma en el servicio pese al empuje de los empleados.
Room cleaning service was just adequate. They didn’t set foot on the terrace even once. The animation/entertainment was fairly weak. Horrible location, surroundings ugly and dirty, beaches best left unremembered.
Servicio de limpieza de habitaciones justito. No pisaron la terraza ni un solo dia. Animacion bastante flojita. Ubicacion horrible, entorno feo y sucio, playas que es mejor no recordar ..

Hotel tranquilo y limpio, animadoras super majas.
The meals are not designed for children; on no day were there creams or spoon dishes. All the vegetable options were predominantly fried. The desserts were repetitive; there was never any yogurt or ice cream. To change the pool towel they will charge €3 for the change. In June there was no evening entertainment.
Las comidas no están pensadas para niños, ningún día hubo ni cremas ni platos de cuchara. Toda las opciones de verduras eran frituras mayoritariamente. Los postres repetitivos, no había nunca ni yogur ni helado. Para cambiar la toalla de piscina te cobrarán 3 € por el cambio. En junio no había animación nocturna.

El hotel no estaba muy lleno durante nuestra estancia, lo que nos permitió disfrutar de la zona de piscina con mucha tranquilidad y sin aglomeraciones. Fue especialmente agradable poder relajarnos y aprovechar las instalaciones exteriores en un ambiente tranquilo.
We consider that several areas of the hotel showed an area of maintenance that could be improved. On several occasions we found dirty or poorly kept spaces, which affected the overall sense of quality of the establishment.
In addition, during the first two days we shared the hotel with a large group of children aged approximately 12-13. This caused a high footfall at certain times, especially in the buffet, making the experience less comfortable. In our case, as it was our first holiday with our baby of 4 months, we particularly valued peace and quiet. We believe it would be helpful to inform guests in advance when there are large groups staying, so they can organise their stay according to their needs and expectations.
Consideramos que varias zonas del hotel presentaban un estado de mantenimiento mejorable. En distintas ocasiones encontramos espacios sucios o poco cuidados, lo que afectó la sensación general de calidad del establecimiento.
Además, durante los dos primeros días coincidimos con un grupo numeroso de niños de aproximadamente 12-13 años. Esto provocó una gran afluencia en determinados horarios, especialmente en el buffet, haciendo la experiencia menos cómoda. En nuestro caso, al tratarse del primer viaje con nuestra bebé de 4 meses, valorábamos especialmente la tranquilidad. Creemos que sería positivo informar previamente a los huéspedes cuando haya grupos numerosos alojados, para que puedan organizar mejor su estancia según sus necesidades y expectativas.
