Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I think is time for this hotel to do some renovations. It is a bit run down. The staff was nice and the music at the pool and club was good.
Im impressed by all the staff how extremely friendly they are. The only thing i miss is that nobody speaks English. But that is ok, afterall I dont speak Spanish.
Room was great. I had a problem with my flight, and the staff were really great with sorting out another couple of nights stay until my replacement flight - they even gave me the same room.
Breakfast is also really good
Always a pleasent stay at the GHL Corrales. Ee have stayed here 4 times. The staff is fantastic. Breakfast is excellent, the pools are great. Rooms are spacious. Nice balconies
The hotel was built around 2012, it shows some wear, however the are doing renovations.
Over all, its great and by now it feels like home.
Very close to the airport and overall nice location. It's less busy than other areas. I book this hotel frequently fory father who has to travel to Cartagena appointments.
I stay here very often some of the faces have changed but the same great service remains. I recommend this place for everyone visiting Cartagena especially if traveling with children.
Loved this hotel! The customer service was excellent—staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
The staff was very friendly. I was in the hotel 5 years ago but this year i noticed that they need to do maintenance. I was happy about the bathroom condition.
Extremely painful and tedious, check in if you’re traveling with kids, or anyone under 18 years old. Waterpark was a blast with the kids. Would had been the perfect hotel if it had beach access
