Small and cute hotel with a delicious home made breakfast’s. Located in the center of the walled city of Cartagena. The staff is amazing, the only downside is that you really need to speak Spanish as their English is limited. Bring ear plugs. Very safe! Close to all sites.

Aquamarine hotel and boutique is a small and cozy gem in Cartagena. We were able to enjoy 2 of its 4 rooms and they were really beautiful. My husband and I enjoyed so much our days in this hotel. The staff was really welcoming and helpful. Our deepest thanks to Marisol Rivera, who helped us even before arriving in Cartagena. The hotel Is perfectly situated by great restaurants, bars and stores. Just 1 minute walk from Plaza Santo Domingo. Looking forward to come back in the near future.

I lack words to describe just how amazing this this hotel and its staff are. It’s one of the most charming places I have ever stayed at. Its vibe perfectly fits into an overall vibe of the old City (unlike the steril vibe on some hotels in Bocagrande). The staff is not only highly professional, but also very pleasant and helpful. During our entire stay at Aguamarine, every staff memeber greeted us with a smile on any encounter and accomodated our every request with genuine care. The hotel itself is beautiful and being that it has only four rooms, we had the rooftop pool to ourselves the entire time. It was almost as if we had the entire hotel to ourselves. Finally, the location is amazing... it is located on one of the nicest streets in the Old Town and close to everything. If I come back to Cartagena, I will be staying at Aguamarine for sure. I just cannot revommend it enough. Muchisima gracias to the staff of Aguamarine!

They claim a water pipe busted one day before I arrived. Then they stayed everything will be back to normal in the morning. They placed me in a front room on the first floor. The lock to close from inside was a wooded stick!!! The bedroom was a hard as that front door. Then to top it off, when I woke that morning I analyzed the whole situtation. I was the only guest in this dam hotel!!! I thought hey am I being punked all the way in Cartenga Colombia. I immediately notified them I will not be staying here another day or night!!! This entire hotel needs to be updated immediately!!!

Nice pool, b-fast, staff; stingy when a problem
Overall the hotel was nice: rooftop pool deck with large umbrella for shade, breakfast was great with various spots in the hotel to sit and enjoy, bed was comfortable, and hotel was clean. Bit noisy on the street, but nothing a couple earplugs couldn't handle. However, one night they had a leak in their water pipes and had to turn off the water entirely. They claimed that it only lasted 30 minutes, but that was the exact 30 minutes, evidently, that I needed to shower before the evening reservations. So they gave me a bucket of cool water to clean myself... When I checked out, they didn't offer a discount and acted extremely shocked and annoyed when I asked for one for this inconvenience - not to mention that, when they agreed, they only gave an entirely too small discount, so I had to follow-up again and demand more. If everything goes to plan, this hotel is perfectly fine. But if something goes wrong, don't expect them to make it right for you. They made me feel like I was out of line for thinking I should be able to shower whenever I want after paying $200/night for a hotel...

Beautiful lovely very clean hotel with attentive staff and spacious high ceiling rooms right in the city center is what you will find at Aguamarina Hotel. The staff is amazing here, the rooms are so lovely and so clean, breakfast is included and is delicious and the pool is small and lovely. There is 1 room on the ground floor in the front of the bldg right on the street level.I was booked in this room for 2 nights and way Very concerned about noise and safety. However, my concerns were alleviated because it was very safe and the noise was not bad at all after midnight. Bring earplugs for this 1 particular room. You are in the city center and this is where you want to be.

Loved Aguamarina Hotel
Fantastic location within the walled old town for this small boutique hotel. Beautifully renovated old home with very zen, Balinese furniture. Great view of the ocean, the city and Boca Grande from the rooftop terrace. Very courteous, accommodating and friendly staff. A little noisy in the evening but it didn’t taint the experience.

It's more of a private home than a boutique hotel
The hotel is stylish (as long as you like plenty of buddhas and colorful, oversized Venetian chandeliers) and centrally located within the old walled town. There is a nice rooftop pool that overlooks the city. The rooms are spacious but have glass doors facing an internal courtyard that is also used as a common area for breakfast, which makes for a noisy experience. If you are a light sleeper, you may be up by 7:30 am, which is when they start setting up breakfast. The hotel has restrictive policies for visitors that are not indicated on the Expedia website and are only contained in the Spanish language fine print policies that are part of the check in papers (as far as I can recall, it's no visitors between 9 pm and 9 am and otherwise visitors are only allowed in designated common areas or with prior approval by the hotel staff in the room - apparently this is for safety reasons). Hotel staff, but for one person, does not speak English. Amenities/services are minimal. After a couple of days, I decided to switch over to the Movich hotel (best rooftop pool and views in old town), which is about the same price, but has many more amenities/services with highly professional hotel staff. If you are a somewhat spoiled frequent traveler used to a minimum level of services/amenities, you will probably like Movich much better. If, on the other hand, you are looking for an experience that is more like staying in a private home, you may like Aguamarina.

So happy I stayed here, Yes Yes Yes
The hotel is so peaceful, quiet and beautiful. Hotel staff was so helpful and always available. There are 5 rooms in the entire building so it's never too noisy or overcrowded. The location is perfect, it's right in the thick of the beautiful old city but not on one of the busier streets so it's much more quiet. This is one of the nicer places I've been and I'm so glad to be able to experience it. Definitely take advantage of the rooftop pool!

Be careful with your valuables
I had stayed in this hotel before and thought to try it again. Unfortunately, I must say that the safe inside the rooms is NOT safe. I left money (both in dollars and Colombian pesos) and part of the money was missing (only $100 in dollars plus pesos equivalent of $120 more less). When I brought it up to management, and showed them that the safe could be opened without the key and by simply entering 1234*, it opened. They did nothing to resolve and basically put it on me that I had misplaced the $, which is simply impossible. I knew exactly how much was on the envelope. All hotels have master Keys also whoever entered could at their will. Then, they pretend to fix it by telling me they wouldn't charge for an upgrade (btw, I never asked for an upgrade and when I checked in I informed them to leave me in my original rom and then the concierge tells me he took it upon himself to upgrade me yet I never agreed to that) overall, Terrible experience. I only write this because I want other travelers to beware and want to do the due diligence for my fellow travelers. The hotel is pretty but the lack of integrity with your valuables makes me give it an F, I now wish I had stayed at a hotel chain. I will not come back.
