10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Caribe by Faranda! First off, the customer service was top-tier! Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The hotel has a beautiful colonial-style charm, but we stayed in the modern wing with ocean views, which was a plus! There are plenty of pools and jacuzzis to choose from, so you never feel limited to one area. We also loved the beach club, where you can relax and enjoy the ocean without constantly being approached by beach vendors. Our stay included breakfast, which was a nice added bonus. Overall, we had a wonderful experience! The hotel has a great mix of history, charm, and modern amenities. Definitely worth it, and I would absolutely stay here again when visiting Cartagena!"
