El Laguito's Caribbean paradise stretches along a scenic peninsula with beaches on both sides. Morning strolls along the palm-lined promenades let you soak up panoramic ocean views while the lagoon offers peaceful paddleboarding. Sunset cocktails taste better when paired with the pink and orange sky, especially from the high-rise hotel bars that line the waterfront. Hotels range from mid-range to ultra-luxury with pools and private beach access.

Cartagena and related destinations

Wander through a walled colonial city where Caribbean breezes carry salsa music across plazas filled with fruit vendors in impossibly bright dresses. The Clock Tower marks your entrance to the old city, where balconies drip with bougainvillea above streets that seem designed for getting pleasantly lost. Palace of the Inquisition offers history with a macabre twist – torture devices displayed in a building beautiful enough to make you forget their purpose. Escape the afternoon heat at Teatro Heredia, a jewel box of a theatre where performances feel intimate despite the grandeur. When the cobblestones get too hot, retreat to Bocagrande Beach or visit the National Aviary to witness Colombia's extraordinary bird diversity up close.

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in staff was super nice and personable! Loved the rooftop terrace and other amenities. The hotel was clean and very welcoming with a beachfront location. The only thing I would know is that the hotel does not provide washcloth towels. I had my own, but I wanted to point that out for anyone who may find that important!"

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent accommodation with great amenities. Make sure you book superior rooms (more modern and bigger). Buffet breakfast has great variety of local food and staff is friendly. A big recognition to Eduardo, he makes sure you have a fantastic stay. The road to the beach it's not the best and the location is 20 minutes to the downtown ($30.000 pesos) but is peaceful and calm."

This timeframe not only provides great value for money but also allows you to immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of Cartagena.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover enticing last-minute deals to Cartagena, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches.

Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you'll be promptly notified if rooms become available or prices drop, making it easier to book your spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a better deal for your stay in a Cartagena hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and can sometimes offer greater value.
