Previous Options
Option ONE - $11,900
Option Two- $12,200

ACCOMMODATIONS 

​

LOCATION :  These are all in the Colonial Area. One is in Getsemani, and the others are in EL Centro.

 

El Centro - More classic and traditional. More developed into tourism, bigger houses, more plazas and restaurants, most of the main landmarks are located here.  On the other hand, most of the shops and vendors are here as well, so it can feel a bit more crowded and touristic.  It is also a bit more expensive :

  • Option 2 (5 bedrooms/5.5 bath) - One of my favorite. Spacious, large pool area and rooms. Great staff and service.

 

Getsemani - It has become the trendier part of town, more and more boutique hotels, cafes, and restaurants are  popping up. It is right next to El Centro and it is becoming more popular. Younger crowds:

  • Option 1 (6 bedrooms/6.5 bath) - I have stayed here. good service. Cute design. Good size rooms.  (Only available Feb weekend) 

​

​

plan with Option Three - $12,900
Plan with THIS Option - $12,700
PLAN WITH Option Four- $13,600 ($12,600)
Plan with This Option - $17,500
plan with THIS Option - $18,750
PLAN WITH THIS Option- $19,999

​ABOVE OPTIONS

  • Option 2 (9 bedrooms/9 bath) - This house has one of the largest pool areas in Cartagena. Large rooms, simple but colorful decor, great service staff. 

    • This house has no hot water, but again people usually don't mind this giving the local weather.  Water would be more room temperature. 

  • Option 3 (8 bedrooms/9 bath) - This house is large. Large rooms with clean decor, and nice pool area.  I think it is much more plain and simple than the others but the cost is within the range.  

  • Option 4 (8 bedrooms/10.5 bath) - This house is beautiful.  modern. It has a nice indoor pool and a gorgeous rooftop. 

    • This house might be the highest but it is a gorgeous house. Not bad for the  price. ​
