From
CanadaI have travelled all over the world using Booking.com, including many boutique-type hotels. It is rare that a hotel exceeds my expectations in every respect. This one did. This hotel is a relatively new, well-situated hotel in the heart of the old town, Cartagena. We asked for a quiet room, and received one. The only disadvantage with the room was that windows did not look out on anything and that they were sealed, but the room was relatively quiet in a very noisy city. To have a balcony room with openable windows means a lot of noise at night in Cartagena. We preferred to sleep! The room we had was equipped with a comfortable king-size bed, lots of room and a very good bathroom, complete with a large shower and a Japanese toilet (which is relatively rare in my experience). We initially had some difficulty with the TV, but staff rectified the problem quickly. The AC worked well and the room is equipped with a ceiling fan if one prefers to use it- we used both.
The design of the hotel, including the finishes, demonstrates a well-thought out, professional team was involved. I was particularly impressed by the overall design of the common areas of the hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The pool on level 4 is small but adequate for cooling down in a hot city. The hotel offers massage services. The companion hotel (Hotel Boutique Casona del Colegio) is available for meals and has a larger pool; it is located only 150 metres away, which is very convenient.
For the cost, this hotel is a very good choice, allowing one to walk all over the old town and neighboring areas.
Assuming that the hotel maintains its service standards and keeps its facilities in good condition, this is a hotel that I recommend without reservation.

The staff is super helpful and kind. The breakfast comes with a lot of fresh fruit, eggs, avocadoes! Very nice service at a very reasonable price. I would choose it again when staying in Santa Marta.

From
United KingdomWe were met at the doorway by a friendly gentleman who showed us to reception. The reception staff themselves were very friendly, polite and profession and gave us great information. Breakfast was a buffet affair and while there were a lot of people, there was plenty to go around and the food was of a high standard. The food changed daily which was appreciated and the fresh fruit was delicious. The room was super clean and of a big size - shout-out to housekeeping- and the bed was very comfortable. The communal areas bar, restaurants were tastefully decorated. The hotel is very well located. It was very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, but very close walking distance to the pier where you can take tours from. You can also walk to the public beaches and the main strip with restaurants and bars and shops in just a few minutes. Very much recommend this hotel to others, great value and great service

It was an unforgettable experience! It was out of this world. We truly felt like it was an experience for our senses. One thing I can say is that the photos don’t do it justice. I tried to capture it but it’s not possible! You are immersed in another world and there’s so much to explore. You will feel truly relaxed. So many little nooks & crannies. Big kudos to the artists that created this space and the architect of course. And finally a big thank you to the staff who make the stay so enjoyable. Our biggest thanks is to Luis Poot who works as a waiter in the breakfast area Alixa - he’s a fantastic person and we enjoyed meeting him very much!!
Thank you Azulik - what a place you’ve created!

I highly recommend this place. We spent a week and visited everything planned: Chechen Itza, amusement park, Carmen beach and Isla de Mujeres. People are nice and the only problem is a weather with sometimes unexpected rains (so be ready to have plan B). Also driving differs from what I used to (be careful on the road)

You may go to Punta Cana for the nice weather, may be staying at a high end resort, not very impressed with the two beaches I visited (may be a private beach within a resort would be better). Very noisy town due to motorcycles . I was staying in the Bavaro area which is considered a safe area but I definitely do not recommend to walk the street, Every taxi, motorcycle and the motor tricycle would blow its horn to solicit for business, I even had one stalking me all the way and I did not understand what he wanted. Had to call for Uber even for a short distance travel, not a safe place to walk around.

By far the best thing about Playa del Carmen is the close proximity to cenotes. They are amazing water filled caves that you can explore, but you'll always need to do so with a guide.
Otherwise, Playa del Carmen is pretty whatever. Kinda fun if you're looking for touristy party bar vibes (like Hard Rock Cafe type stuff), but generally it feels like a tourist trap for the most part.
There are soooo many scammers here and it's really hard to tell what is a legitimate official group or just another scammer. For example, the Tulum national park entrance is filled with people selling tickets and tours as if they are park employees, but they are not. They even have constructed a fake security gate entrance to make it appear you must buy tickets before entering the park area, and of course the tickets they sell are about 4x the actual price.
The beaches could be nice if they weren't filled with garbage. This is likely because many street food vendors and restaurants serve styrofoam and plastic utensils that frequently end up on the beach and broken into tiny bits. So the beaches are actually quite ugly as a result.
Tren Maya is pretty useless since they decided to construct it miles inland from the towns, so it just leaves you in the middle of the jungle.
Overall, I mostly just felt like I was being ripped off every day I was in Playa de Carmen and the area around it.
I'd only recommend visiting a cenote or two and leaving for some place nicer.

Tulum city was completely disappointing (except for park Jaguar and archeological site) so I’m so glad we stood in “zona hotelera”. We chose a hotel who was in walking zone to “escultura de la luz” and almost all the time we walked through the beach because the road is terrible. We heard all kind of stories and didn’t want to risk so we booked our excursions in advance to Chichen Itzá, Coba, Cenotes, Tulum, Akumal and Xuan Ka’an and couple of times we used the app in drive to get to some further restaurants or to the city. We loved La Eufemia for a relaxed local chiringuito, had a great treat in Ana y Jose hotel and party at Bagatelle. To pay we chose the Revolut card, you can charge it immediately and pay and tip with the mobile phone (although tip we like to leave it in cash if possible). We used exchange office called Capital (in the city center and in zona hot.) The greatest thing was the private tours because we really get to know the people and the reality of Tulum and Mexico. It’s always better if you speak Spanish. They are really grateful. Absolute adventure and xian Kaan community are the platforms we used and we were delighted. We enjoyed Tulum before the hordes come for Xmas but when sargassum was already gone. First half of December, great weather, no crowds, clean beach. I hope I can come back one day soon.

Only go if you like chaos, dirt, and loud music every 10 meters. This is not a destination if you want to rest and see nice beaches. The people are completely disrespectful and drive like maniacs. Apparently is completely acceptable in Colombia to bring your own Bluetooth speaker to the beach and turn it on at max volume. The problem is that everyone has the same great idea so you end up with five speakers less than 20 meters away from you. This is not a good beach destination at all.

Willemstad was a nice city experience with lots of restaurants and shops to visit. I like that the harbour with the floating bridge is a main attraction you can see and experience for free. I walked the bridge and rode the free ferry several times.The city also has museums to visit and lots of art and murals to admire. Its pretty easy to walk around but wear comfortable shoes and a hat because it gets REALLY hot. Traveling solo I mainly explored in the daytime: Otra Banda walking tour with Dundu Tours, visited the Jewish Museum, and the Kura Hulanda museum, shopped in the Riffort, had lunch and dinner harbour side, and at Burger Haus and went down to the old market "Plasa Bleu" and had lunch there as well.
