Hotel Las Americas Torre del Mar

The hotel is about 10 to 15 minutes from the main historic town or Ciudad Amurallada. About 15000 pesos each way. The hotel does not warn you that as soon as you go down to the beach you will be seriously Harrased by the local vendors. DO NOT entretain any of them. They are rip off artists when you think you are getting a deal they are ripping you off for anything they can get from you. Be careful. Do not eat the crabs that they offer for sale. You will not only be sick but your wallet will be empty. The ladies with the message OMG they wanted $80 for a foot message. They get you by telling you just try just try and even you keep saying no when they leave they tell you you owe me ××××.The white taxis in front of the hotel are your best bet. You can negotiate any trip anywhere with them as a private tour you will be better off. 140000 pesos will take you anywhere you want for 3 to 4 hours up to 4 people. Also change the dollars at the airport 2750 per one dollar. At the hotel they will change it for 2500 per dolar. Or downtown you may get up to 2850 per one dollar. We have been to PR Cancun Ecuador but Cartagena be aware with the locals.

it was amazing. the hotel was well situated, great roof top pool and great breakfast.

it was a very good experience ... very satisfied !!!

Hotel has a nice facilities and several pools More than 2 restaurants and bars on property It is very close to the airport and therefore is somewhat isolated. You can not walk out the front door and go into the city it is right next to a highway. The rear of the property has a nice public beach. There were a handful of peddlers that left us alone after we said no. The hotel has good security I was dissapointed that our bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. The toilet was dirty and the previous guest’s socks were in the bathroom. The food and property was good but overpriced by Cartagena standards although about the same as USA prices. We paid 170 a night for a nice room with a great view of the beach.

Excellent hotel. Good price
