Hotel OZ Grand

Hotel OZ Grand

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a beautiful location, and one of the highlights was actually the restaurant directly across the street—they had some of the best fish we ate during our entire stay in Cartagena. There was definitely a language barrier at times, which made it difficult to call the front desk and ask for certain things because we didn’t always understand each other. However, we were in Colombia, so I completely understand that Spanish is the primary language and I don’t hold that against the hotel. My biggest issue was the inconsistent information from the staff. The bellboys would tell us one thing, while the reception staff would tell us something completely different. That caused some unnecessary confusion during our stay. Breakfast was also very limited if you’re vegetarian. There was fruit, but many of the pastries and other breakfast items contained meat, so there weren’t many options available. As far as amenities, there really weren’t many at the hotel, so I’m not sure what amenities guests would actually be able to take advantage of. Overall, the location was beautiful and convenient, but clearer communication between staff members and more vegetarian breakfast options would have made the experience much better."

"We had the most incredible time at Sofitel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the resort is the perfect place to just stop and relax. It's not too big but the perfect size to make the most of it. They also offer activities throughout the day, we did a pizza making class free of charge. The beach is gorgeous but note it isn't completely private. A big shout out to Ramses who helped deliver our pizza making class in English. A huge thanks again to the Sofitel Baru team."

"To start … pulling up to Hotel Del Sol was incredible!! The staff was helpful getting off of the boat. Check in was a breeze. Room was very clean! Beach is unbelievable! Dive off the dock and enjoy the ocean. What I really enjoyed was the gated swim area! Food is unreal, was very surprised on how delicious the food was, given where we were. Food in Colombia was off the chart GREAT! We are coming back in a couple months. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who wants PARADISE!!! Cheers to the owner and staff. 🤌❤️"
