GHL Corales de Indias

Room was very spacious with a beautiful view, staff super kind and helpful. The center is about 12min ride. The pools were nice, especially when traveling with kids, this is much needed in the Cartagena heat. Bathroom was pretty spacious too

Their breakfast is extremely good, with the variety and quality of the food served. I have back issues, but I found the beds very comfortable. Our room was spacious, very clean, with a fantastic sea view from the balcony. Location is good, (45 minute walk to the old walled city) or if it is too warm taxis are inexpensive. We enjoyed the swimming pools on warm afternoons. We tried a few options for evening meals, finding our best option was right at the Hotel. Johnny their chef prepares flavorful meals with great presentation.

I liked that it is really close to the airport and the historic center. The bed was very comfortable. I loved the breakfast, they included something different every day.

We had an amazing view of the sea, The breakfast in the mornings was really nice and varied. Eg. Fruits, scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, freshly baked bread rolls, and some more exotic Colombian style breakfasts. Staff were extremely helpful and always there ready to serve you coffee/ juice. The food is covered and not exposed to flies which was a plus for us. My partner doesn't like to eat where he sees food out in open and exposed. The bread rolls where exposed but later covered when they realised that my partner would not eat from bread roll basket. Staff were very kind to have his plate of freshly baked bread rolls ready for him served on a plate covered in cling film. The food at the restaurant was very pleasant as well. Very cartagenian, from chicken to pastas to sea food. Our favourite mainly. I was also very amazed and very grateful not to say the least with the free service of out of hours medical care in case of an emergency. Thinking I had to go to A&E or a clinic at 3am. My partner who doesn't speak a word of Spanish was helped in reception and was told that the hotel provides out of hours medical service free of charge. I was seen in 20 mins by the medical team, prescribed adequate medication and given an injection for the pain and swelling. Although it was free I couldn't help but contribute with a small token to show my appreciation for their help ( medical team). I'm sure that would've cost me a lot more if I'd gone to the hospital. The centre of Cartagena is no more than 10 mins away, word of advice always ask price before you get on a taxi. It should not cost you more that 12000 pesos for a taxi to the clock tower. 15 000 pesos Max, that's 3 dollars/ £3. Occasionally we would be charged 10 000 pesos. So just make sure you ask the driver. Some like to take advantage of the tourist and charge more than they should.

The facilities were really comfortable and clean , the pool and jacuzzi were really good and the food was extremely delicious.
