The hotel was located in a very walkable area of Boca Grande. The beach is directly across the street. Plenty of eating options on the main street as well as the street behind the hotel. The room and property were extremely clean. The only drawback was the pool area. It’s small with limited lounge chairs. During prime sunlight hours a lounge can be hard to find. Overall great property was good choice.

Great property in Bocagrande, it felt safe and the views are nice. Only downfall was some staff that have attitudes and were very unprofessional , ordered a burger and it wasn't cooked as asked and when sent back the chef came out to see who sent the burger back and stared at us as if he was upset and left slamming the door, you would of thought at that point as if he was paying for the burger himself. I stay in IHG properties 5 or more times throughout the year and never experienced anything like that. So we just ate out instead at that point. Overall besides that mishap i do recommend this property, the breakfast was also great and most of the small was friendly.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the InterContinental Cartagena De Indias, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel welcomed. The bell hops, front desk, and concierge were attentive and always ready to assist with a smile. The service at the bar and pool area was top-notch. I want to give a special shoutout to Fabian, who was an awesome server, and Stephanie, the hotel supervisor on duty, who went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. The breathtaking sunsets at the infinity pool were truly a highlight of my stay—one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever witnessed! My room was immaculate and offered an amazing ocean view that I found absolutely delightful. Each morning began with a delicious breakfast featuring a wonderful variety of local dishes and staple breakfast items. It was a great way to start each day! The hotel's location couldn't be more convenient. With the beach just steps away, a casino only a 3-minute walk, a shopping mall nearby, and an array of restaurants, there's plenty to explore within walking distance. The only slight downside was the parking—it was a bit confusing at first as it's located in the garage of the mall, but the rates were very reasonable, especially if you're going in and out frequently. Overall, my stay at the InterContinental Cartagena was fantastic, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The hotel was great and pool area views were amazing . The staff was very nice and tried to accommodate all your needs . The issue by the pool every day was not enough chairs by the pool . Javier by the pool area was very accommodating every morning at breakfast and always with smiles! I think the staff can use more help at the pool as it would take some time to place an order or order a drink . Great central location close to the Center and Wall with tons of food options and things to do . Recommend tour to Bora Bora as the beach across the street is not appealing . I would return, the room was very clean and comfortable with ocean views .

My daughter and I liked this hotel a lot. Rooms were nice, beds comfortable, location was good and staff was polite and helpful. It was extremely hard to get a chair by the pool— guests would grab a towel at 7 am, lay it on a chair, then disappear for hours, leaving no chairs for anyone else. I understand that this may be difficult to monitor, but when there are such a limited number of chairs and they are all taken by 7 am with no one sitting on them (I viewed this multiple days from my window) there needs to be a solution. The public beach across from the hotel isn’t it—it is teaming with vendors constantly harassing (even physically grabbing) beachgoers. Aside from these things, the hotel was very nice!
