Ananda Hotel Boutique

We were put in a room with zero windows and was extremely claustrophobic. The room was also directly next to the pool, kitchen and bar and was very loud. Additionally, the room was a connecting room with the only separation being a thin door. We could hear everything in our neighbors room. Finally, the sheets on the bed had such a strong odor (sunscreen) that it made it almost impossible to comfortably sleep. I tried laying down my own clothes over the pillow and the odor still seeped through. Overall I am baffled that they would put any guests in a room like this. Definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The Ananda hotel by far exceeded our expectations! Zero issues with this place! We stayed in 303 and it was perfect, as the rooftop was just a few steps away and a lovely secret patio outside our door. The staff are extremely friendly and knew us by name by the end of the trip. We chose to have the hotel pick us up from the airport, which was done seamlessly and easy to book through email, prior to coming. I do recommend learning a little bit of Spanish before arriving but overall we had no issues communicating with everyone. The hotel is stunning on it own, with 2 pools (which weren’t that crowded, but I do recommend getting to the lower pool by 1pm if you’re travelling with more than 4 ppl). The rooftop is nice to relax on the daybeds and you can see the ocean by the upper patio. Hands down best cocktails we’ve ever had and that’s not an exaggeration! The hotel breakfast is very good, if you read other comments suggesting otherwise, I recommend you ignore that. We also had dinner here on our first night and the food was very good! I wish we could have taken the bikes out, But if you do, I recommend waking up very early to do so, as traffic gets a little hectic later on in the day. I will definitely be back to Cartagena and most definitely stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing! I loved it. Clean, everyone is very nice and great service. The hotel itself is stunning. Will try to stay again.

It was really nice but we had a leak going on the last 3 days. The leak was right above our bed.

Amazing hotel with such a wonderful staff that pay attention to every detail.

Lovely experience

Excellent location and great value. Staff was wonderful!

Great Location - Staff very attentive and friendly - overall very good

The structure is very nice and well kept, top notch service and comfort. Unfortunately the whole experience was ruined by the room communicating with the room’s below through a caveau in the bathrooms, which meant every noise could be heard and experienced as if it was in my own room. A really unpleasant experienced unheard of in a luxury hotel.

I stayed at Ananda for 5 nights during my visit to Cartagena. I LOVED the attention from the staff, we received a warm welcome and everyone at the hotel was so polite. My requests were fulfilled immediately without hesitation. The food at the restaurant was amazing and the free gourmet breakfast was a PLUS! The pool and jacuzzi were perfect and the best thing is that it was available all day.
