My stay at the Radisson Cartagena Ocean Pavillion Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the beach access and friendly staff made for an enjoyable experience, the location felt a bit isolated with limited nearby attractions. The breakfast was good, but the lack of proper English proficiency among some staff was a slight drawback.

My stay at Radisson Cartagena Ocean Pavillion Hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference during my stay. I appreciated the spacious room with a beautiful ocean view, though I felt it could use a bit more decoration. The dining options were fantastic, especially the breakfast. However, the closed pool was a letdown as it was the main reason I chose this hotel.

While the facilities were generally nice, I was disappointed that the pool was closed during my visit. The rooftop jacuzzis were a nice alternative, but I expected the pool to be available.

I had a fantastic time at the Radisson Cartagena Ocean Pavillion Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the smooth check-in process even better. While the hotel is a bit far from the main attractions and the beach had its share of vendors, the serene atmosphere and spacious accommodations more than made up for it. The dining options were quite generous, but I did experience a bit of a wait for my food on occasion.

Though the hotel is a bit removed from the bustling parts of Cartagena, I appreciated the quietness. It’s a short taxi ride to Old Town, which is super affordable.

The breakfast buffet was massive and offered a wide variety of tasty dishes. I loved the seafood and pasta options for lunch; however, service was a bit slower than what I'm used to.

Facilities

The pool and jacuzzi areas were nice and clean, but they did get crowded. The private beach section was a bonus for relaxing away from the crowds.

I had a fantastic stay at Radisson Cartagena Ocean Pavillion Hotel! The view from my room was stunning, looking directly over the beach and ocean. However, I did feel the location was a bit far from the city center, and the beach itself wasn't the best. Overall, the friendly staff and spacious accommodations made my experience worthwhile. 🌊🏨

The staff were extremely kind and courteous, especially on the pool deck. However, the front desk service could have been more attentive during peak hours.

Location

While the hotel is close to the beach, it is about 15-20 minutes from the city center and surrounded by construction. Be cautious when heading out, especially to the left of the hotel.

I had a mixed experience at Radisson Cartagena Ocean Pavillion Hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially the concierge who spoke fluent English. However, I found the pool rather small and the beach, while conveniently located, was less appealing than I expected. Crime concerns along the beach were disconcerting, impacting my overall enjoyment.

Facilities included rooftop jacuzzis and a small pool, but I found the gym to be outdated and underwhelming.
