“IC Cartagena's pool gem, clean lapse”
InterContinental Hotels Cartagena DE Indias by IHG is a comfortable Bocagrande hotel — the beach in front, a mall attached, an amazing pool with a bar beside, a fabulous corner suite like a one-bedroom apartment with 1.5 baths, a worth-it breakfast, and great staff (waiter Jesús praised); a first choice for Bocagrande. The complaints: no vacuuming or mopping — a check-in found spilled drinks and a crumb-covered couch the guest cleaned; a dismissive unmotivated front desk toward a Japanese guest; pedant service and management, old noisy leaking rooms, a difficult linked-booking check-in, and a surcharge for basics; it's fifteen minutes from the walled city.
