Pros: I took my 4 years old son and spent 5 days vacation just with him at Hotel Las Américas and this is the place to go. Either if you are with the family or for couples. Great place, great value and it has all the amenities you can ask for. I will go back again. By the way Cartagena is the best vacation city by the beach...

Pros: Hotel service was great. Bed was super comfortable and room was clean. There's a quick mart across the street with everything you need.
Cons: The beach wasn't relaxing at all. The vendors are extremely aggressive. They line up at your cabana and you can barely close your eyes for 30 seconds. They start massaging you and asking for money. We were there for 3 days and only went to the beach 1 day.. Stay in old town and enjoy the history and market where you go to vendors, not the other way around.

Pros: New property, comfortable rooms, nice bathroom, expansive common areas, nice pool and solarium, excellent spa service, comfortable bed, decent food.
Cons: The hotel is far from the walled city, and the taxi situation is really bad, you have to haggle to get a decent fare, and the drivers are very rude. The hotel should have its own shuttle to take people to/from the walled city and the airport. They have a car service, but its expensive. Also, the breakfast is not very good, the food does not seem fresh, and the coffee is terrible. Service is very slow, and the servers do not seem very motivated. The hotel only has 1 restaurant that is outdoors, for a property that size, there should be at least 1 more restaurant, indoors.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good location on the beach.
Cons: We had a suite with two bathrooms. Water drained very slowly in both showers, overflowing into the bathroom floor in one if you didn't quickly turn off the water (2 minutes?), while the other one had elevated tile added around the side so you could take longer shower but you'd be standing in stagnant water. I got the distinct impression this was a permanent feature when employees came to act as if to "fix" the problem, worked on both bathrooms, and left with no improvement whatsoever.

Pros: I liked the fact they had a travel agency to book my trips day before. The pool is huge lots of space. The pool bar is great. Great drinks. Check in was fast and they even signed me up with a hilton account for free. I asked to leave my luggage for my flight so i could do some extra stuff and they helped me with that. So i was very happy. Me and my fiancé were treated like royal. I would come back. Thank you Hilton Cartagena!!!
Cons: Didnt like that fact i got a lil hot at night. So i had to get up at night and reset the air conditioner. I asked for a late check out but they didnt have the space. The hotel was booked 100%. All around i dont have not really bad to say.

Pros: The grounds are beautiful. Guest relations is beyond and above expectation.
Cons: For 4 or 5 star hotel, I expected a formal dining restaurant; I expected the mini bar to be fully stocked. I expected quality service from the housekeeping staff...returning to my room and finding no toilet paper is unacceptable....having one glass in the bathroom for a room for 4 people is unacceptable. My one and only significant complaint is with customer service and being subjected to maintenance activity on a much too regular basis.

Pros: The hotel is positioned well, with nicely decorated rooms, the view of the sea is nice. The Lobby is poor with mildew and mold odor, I was in the 16 floor, the corridor stinks, there is a permanent smell of burnt frying oil, of fried fish, fried eggs at any given minute of the day. The same bad smell hits you when you go to eat breakfast. If you have allergies or have a bronchial issues you will get sick from this air quality. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone no ever go back there

Pros: Nothing a very bad treatment and careless for customers then want to take advantage of reservations.

The rooms are not clean and the rooms do not have hot water until you discover how to handle the faucet in a way you need to spend time move slowly in order to get hot water. When you ask for help in the front desk they treat you as you committed a crime when you are paying for the services the offer and do not accomplish.

Pros: Nothing - we will never stay here or at an associated property again, and would strongly recommend anyone from staying here as well
Cons: Of the last 5 years of 1500+ nights in hotels, I have never encountered a worst place to stay in my life. This is unlike any other property with rules and processes carefully designed to make a guest's experience challenging. 1. Check-in only takes an hour at the front desk, accepting payment usually results in US banks blocking your card due to suspected fraud, and guests can count on another 30 min before room inspection can be complete and a key is obtained 2. Wifi is non-existant 3. There are strange restrictions around where you can move around the hotel as well taking your room towel out of the room (really?) 4. Exercising "discipline," redundant process, and rules requires a lot of monitoring and staff, and the hotel has impressively invested plenty of manpower in that area 5. Oh and don't dare leave your key in your room, it will only take several hours for the hotel to find a locksmith...one would have thought to keep duplicates right? 6. Though it is all-inclusive, the alcohol quality is bound to make you sick and the food is mostly uncooked. Be prepared to eat/drink outside for all 3 meals. I am surprised that the hotel is still up and running. We were a group of 8 who spent most of our time outside the rooms, but whatever moments were at the hotel, were not conducive to a convenient existence.
