The amazing service started even before I arrived at the hotel. I got an email from the fabulous Ms. Marbelis Sandoval , one of the Guest Relation Coordinator, thanking me for choosing the InterContinental and for my IHG reward membership. Also, they told me they were prepared for my arrival, and if I needed anything, I could let them know in advance. She can send over the information from the request for spa services. When I arrived, the bellman was there to greet me and happily assist me with my bags. Ms. Marbelis was at the front desk to help me with checking in. She was even nicer in person and was able to go over all the amenities that the hotel offered. When I got to the room, the view was breathtaking. I could see the entire coastline. The room was comfortable and immaculate, as I expected. Room service is provided on request, and the housekeepers keep your room clean and stocked. The rooftop pool was an added experience with the bar and restaurant next to it I went to eat at the restaurant. My waitress, Enlida, was great, and she was able to help me identify all the great vegetarian options. Her service was prompt and very friendly. She even suggested some tasty dessert options. One of the benefits of my stay was getting service at the lounge as a reward member. They offer breakfast, snacks from 1 pm to 3 pm, and drinks and other items in the evening. Estefania was working in the lounge during my visit. She was so pleasant and greeted all the guests with a big smile. She made the best coffee. You have to visit the Privilegio spa on site to schedule your service. The receptionist helped me pick out the best service I was looking for with a deep tissue massage, and a friend of mine got a different type, but both Yulibeth and Marlyn provided outstanding service. I felt relaxed for the remainder of the day.

My recent visit to this esteemed hotel was an embodiment of luxury at its finest, punctuated by the unparalleled service of its dedicated staff. The pool and bar area was a symphony of excellent hospitality, orchestrated by Fabian, Francisco, and David. Their service went beyond mere duties; they were connoisseurs of guest satisfaction, ensuring each moment by the pool was a delightful experience. Padilla, an exemplary member of the team, demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence. His professionalism shone brightly in every aspect of the hotel’s operation, contributing significantly to the seamless and enjoyable experience. The bellhop, a diligent gentleman in his 30s with an amiable disposition, was a cornerstone of the hotel’s commendable service. His prompt and courteous assistance was a hallmark of the hotel’s dedication to guest comfort. Additionally, the presence of the security staff, particularly a vigilant guard who resembled Padilla, added an invaluable layer of safety and reassurance. His discreet yet approachable manner ensured a secure and serene environment. A culinary highlight was the cheeseburger, recommended by another outstanding member of the pool/bar team. Though his name eludes me, the quality of his suggestion and service left a lasting impression. The drivers, true professionals in every sense, embodied the hotel’s ethos of excellence, making each journey a pleasant and memorable part of my stay. In conclusion, this hotel transcends the norms of luxury hospitality. It’s a place where each staff member, from the culinary talents at the pool bar to the astute security team, contributes to an atmosphere of unrivaled excellence. This establishment is not just a testament to the visionary leadership of its executives, but a shining example in the annals of the hospitality industry.

Re-book NOW if you like to sleep or want to use the pool (pool temporary issue - read more at the end )! The rooms are worn down, which is acceptable, if you get a good deal. Unacceptable is the cleanliness and noise in the rooms. We had to move room on the first night. The last night we could hear hammering base again but didn't bother to ask for a change again. No clue where it came from. In addition there are party buses going by all night. We were on the 23rd and 24th floor and could still hear loud noises. Only highlight was the knowledgeable concierge and staff who's recommendations made the external trips and visits a delight. I thoroughly regret not staying at the Marriott or Hilton, where I usually always stay. **Temporary issue** The pool area is under construction. Though the pool is usable, the noise is unbearable. We had noise cancelling headphones and could not use the area in peace. There is loud drilling and use of other power-tools from 9-17:00 every day. Most upsetting we were told this construction would not cause an inconvenience during check-in and shown a piece of paper outlining this riddled with spelling mistakes. This was a straight up lie and is unprofessional at best. Rebook now if you read this is in the next couple weeks and want to use the pool!!

We spent seven nights here during our recent trip to Colombia and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful when asked questions. Marbelis at the front desk was especially sweet and took care of us on a couple of occasions. The room itself had a slightly musty smell but it was likely due to the air conditioning not having been on for a while. Once the A/C was on we didn’t have any other issues. It’s a good size room with a small couch near the window and the bed was super comfortable. We had the breakfast buffet on a few of the mornings and they had a huge spread with an omelette station as well. I especially liked the cheese bread near the toaster. We also went to the bar a couple of evenings and Jorge made the best Bloody Mary’s that we had in our two weeks in Colombia. Jorge was super friendly also and, honestly, we probably wouldn’t have gone a second night if it wasn’t for his friendly persona and the Bloody Mary’s. All in all, this was a great visit and we were well treated by all of the employees there. There are taxis easily accessible from the front of the hotel during most of the day and it’s a short ride to the walled city. I highly recommend staying here.

I was warmly greeted as I arrived and the service from the staff was excellent throughout my stay. Marabelis and Fabian were particularly gracious. As an IHG member, I was able to score a massage upon arrival after a long trip to get there, and the Spa staff was great. The many bellhops, porters, and security staff made sure I was taken care of in my comings and goings from the hotel. As a solo traveler, I definitely felt safe there. The hotel was clean and modern and seemed well-kept. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed. The only critique was the bathroom doors, while fabulously designed, when open, blocked the entrance to the water closet. And it took a while for the water to get hot. I had breakfast daily and the buffet had a variety of pastries, fruits, juices, cereals, and hot foods, as well as an omelet station. Room service was delivered quickly with everything ordered. The cocktails were always good! The pool was clean, the area was kept tidy, and the water was a nice temperature. When I visit Cartagena again, I will certainly stay at the Intercontinental, and suggest others do, too!
