From the moment we entered the doors of this lovely hotel, we felt at home. The staff are the kindest most helpful group we have ever encountered at a hotel. The housekeeping staff honored our request to have the room done by 1pm and everyday this occurred. We were there for a wedding and I believe everyone felt the same way. The grounds are gorgeous. The breakfast, served in a courtyard was beautiful. We had the buffet everyday and the choices were plentiful

David H. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Our stay was fantastic! From check in all the way through check out. The staff is extremely attentive and the breakfast buffet is second to none. The grounds are beautiful and the room has everything you need and is even outfitted with Bose blue tooth speakers! The beds are super comfortable and the housekeeping staff does a great job cleaning the room and with the turndown service. We ordered room service one afternoon and the food was delicious and the table setting was perfect. My wife and I agree that this is go to Hotel when we stay in Cartagena from now on. The location is perfect as you can walk to just about anywhere you need to go.

Laura Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We loved the accommodations at the Santa Clara- very detail was thought of- there were even enough hooks and bars to hang towels and bathing suits on in the bathroom! The staff was incredibly friendly and thoughtful. Our only complaint would be the speed of service in getting the check at breakfast and being served poolside, but even this would not have been a big deal had we not been traveling with our toddler.

Everything was incredible - the location, the food, the staff. The hotel went above and beyond in organizing activities and making restaurant reservations for us. A special commendation needs to be given to the entire team of Butlers, who were so wonderful and accommodating. The hotel itself is beautiful and well appointed. The hotel bar and pool area were spacious and lovely. I can't wait to come back next year!

The Hotel and its surroundings are beautiful and the facilities including the restaurants are great. I was dissapointed in that for a 5-star hotel I expected to have hot water in the shower.

Dear Mrs. M., Thank you very much for preferring us while in Cartagena. We highly appreciate you took the time to share your experience with us. We are very happy to know you enjoyed our restaurants and the rest of the facilities and that you liked our hotel. At Sofitel we strive to provide a superior service, that is why your feedback is very important for us. Regarding to your comments about the Hot Water, I would like to know if you reported this problem in order for us to fix it. I apologize for this inconvenience. In respect of your comments about the breakfast, we have rates that includes the breakfast, probably the one you used when you made the reservation was a rate without it included. We hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you back! Sincerely, Daniela Martinez Torres Guest Relations Manager

A most horrible experience

TripAdvisor rating 1.0/5

Noreen D TripAdvisor review

We booked our trip with a late checkout of 5pm for an additional fee of $149. We also booked a car to the airport for $29. The confirmation email came back with both those options confirmed. The last day of our trip as we were sitting by the pool at 2pm a representative tracked us down and said we had to leave. I explained that we had confirmed and were paying for late check out. He said that can’t do that they need the room. I explained that I didn’t “request” a late check out, I paid for it and I showed him the email. He still insisted that he could not give us what we booked. He humiliated us in front of other guests when all we wanted was what we had booked and confirmed. He finally came back and said they would move us to another room. We choked on our lunch and rushed up to our room in wet bathing suits to pack up. 15 minutes later we called down to have our luggage picked up. We did not shower yet as we wanted to vacate the room they needed so badly. We waited for 45 minutes in wet bathing suits for someone to come up a take us to the other room. We checked out at 5 and I asked where are car was and they said they hadn’t booked it! With our day ruined we headed to the airport in a hot taxi. Through the entire experience, not once did anyone say they were sorry.

Dear Mrs. Noreen D, Thank you for sharing your experience at the Sofitel Legend Santa Clara and for choosing us while in Cartagena. We are sorry to hear that your experience with us was affected on the day of your departure. Thinking about covering every guest request before your arrival, we are offering the option of requesting a late check out upon the reservation time. Sadly, for the day of your departure we did not have the availability for your request of a late check out. Due to that, we did not charge you for that item and we informed about it upon check in time and apologize for it. This feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services and we will take the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you again and create a different experience for you. Sincerely, Daniela Martinez Guest Relations Manager

The hotel is wonderful, charming, well located, all the hotel's rooms are very beautiful with the contrast between the old and the new, the service of the hotel's employees is simply sensational, and I even had the opportunity to enjoy a service by Butler (Gustavo) who surprised my expectations. I will definitely go back there, a must.

Dear Mr. Lanera, We highly appreciate you took the time to review your experience with us. It is a real pleasure to know that you enjoyed your experience with us.
