"I had an amazing stay at the Intercontinental in Cartagena. The staff was great and always attentive. The room with an ocean view was absolutely stunning—waking up to that view was unforgettable. The food at the hotel is really good, with plenty of delicious options. A special thanks to Jesús, who works at the restaurant/bar—such a friendly and welcoming guy who made the experience even better. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Cartagena!"

"The hotel itself is excellent. My room was very clean and modern with decent space. I did not need the upgrade they asked about to a club room. The view of the sea was spectacular. The pool also has a terrific view and is very well maintained. My only complaint would be the lack of any shade. During the hot sunny days there is nowhere to escape to and some umbrellas are desperately needed. The staff at the pool bar are very friendly and provide excellent service. Special shout out to Kaitlyn and Daniel, who took such good care of me and all the guests at the pool bar. The breakfast buffet is a bit overpriced. I would’ve liked some more cold options. But again, the staff there were extremely friendly and professional. For dinner, the main restaurant is beautiful and has a good menu. Again the staff are friendly. Finally, the staff at the main reception were professional, friendly, and responsive."

"El staff del Hotel Oz Luxury fue excelente: siempre atentos, amables y dispuestos a ayudar en todo momento. Desde la recepción hasta el restaurante, el servicio fue impecable y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. ¡Definitivamente volvería por la calidad humana de su equipo! "
