Jul 12, 2025Our first family trip!
We had a blast here at Dreams Karibana Cartagena. Yenny was very friendly and super engaging at the pool. She held a fun spin class at the pool and played cornhole with me and my family and we beat the men! Jonathan was fun with his exercise class in the water and we joined most mornings. Great music played all day by the pool. We have an amazing visit and recommend a trip here.

Jul 12, 2025A nice retreat - but be prepared for kids
All the staff (reception, restaurant, bar, activities, spa, housekeeping, etc.) were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The AC was cold! The shower had great hot water and pressure! The restaurants were good, although the buffet was similar to those at most resorts - disappointing offerings, to be used as a last resort. The resort is all enclosed in one building (which is convenient) with a large palapa at the beach, that has bar and restaurant facilities. This is a family resort, so be ready lots of kids, everywhere. With everything so close to each other, there is hardly a break from the kids. However, the beach palapa was less so and was a favorite escape from the chaos and screams. The spa was very calm and relaxing, with all the services to be expected including wet and dry saunas. The massages we had were very good, and a great way to end a day in the sun. The property is older, and shows its age - generally needing washing, paint, and routine maintenance and repairs. The the rooms were better, but also could beneit from a refresh. Overall, the property is a nice escape, with enough activities and entertainment to make it worth the trip. We are members of the vacation club, so we'll continue exploring other Hyatt properties before returning.

Excellent
Everything was excellent: the taste and quantity of the food, the rooms, the kindness and attention of everyone, from maintenance to management. The pool and its snacks, the games, and the VIP area.
