“Paradise within Cartagena”

The room, living area, view and breakfast were all exceptional. Though there is lots to do (beach, hiking, visit vineyards) we ended up just chilling at the property with our books and enjoying the ambience. They had fantastic local wine on offer at the property and very reasonably priced. The hosts could not have been more accommodating, we felt very comfortable and wished we had booked more than 1 night.

“Excellent Company in the Evening”

Excellent coffee! Best of our trip. The owners speak Spanish, so they asked a friend of theirs who spoke English to come over, to enhance communication; our Spanish is limited. (At the end of our stay, they did ask for a tip for the friend, who came over in the morning also.) They arranged for pizza delivery for our dinner, and they also ordered pizza for themselves, the interpreter friend, and his girlfriend. We all sat on the patio and had dinner, wine, and conversation together - very pleasant evening. The two top bedrooms share a bathroom. We had booked one of the bedrooms, but since no one was staying in the other bedroom, they said we could also use it, so we could close off the end of the shared hallway to make a private suite that included the bathroom. This was very nice of them. We were boarding a cruise ship the next morning, and it is a 10 minute taxi ride to the port. It was a much more pleasant stay than it would have been to stay in a hotel in San Antonio. And the view of the bay was gorgeous.
