Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena

Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena

10/10 Excellent
"The Sofitel in Cartagena is the definition of a sanctuary/oasis in the middle of a tropical city. The garden in the courtyard is extremely beautiful and unique in itself. The design in general really reflects the beauty of Colombia, and when eating at the restaurant (either by the pillars or in the middle of the garden), it feels as if you are eating in the jungle. The location is incredible, as it is just off the north shore wall by the sea in the heart of the Old City (away from all the main shops which is great because of all the foot traffic when it's busy during the day and at night), making for beautiful evenings on the rooftop bar where you can enjoy some live music while watching the sunset. Our main waiter during our stay, Jorge, was wonderful and made our dining experience even better with his smile and friendliness. The food was outstanding, and I have only eaten at the hotel restaurant while staying in the city. Since this property is roughly 30 years old, there are some areas that are starting to show its age (e.g. the gym, the washrooms by the pool), but aside from that, this property is arguably one of the most beautiful in the entire city of Cartagena. Overall, another lovely visit (this was my second time staying here) and I would not stay anywhere else besides this hotel."
