False advertising, when made reservation it states unlimited national Colombian beer and others alcoholics drinks. The only choices of beer is ONE club Colombia and only that one. Some of the other drinks available staff didn’t have ingredients to be made with. The mini bar in the room is another is another false advertisement, two beers to be shared.

If you're looking for a luxurious vacation this resort is NOT it. The food was bland and not very well cooked. There is construction right next door to the property which was very off putting. Little to no activities and it's very far from any excursions. Bar always closed although I was told it was supposed to be until 1am. There is only ONE POOL. Too many kids and crying babies. Would NOT recommend. 3/10 stars

This place is a hidden gem. A little dated but the staff attentiveness over powered the looks. The food was amazing. Only thing I dislike is all inclusive had a tier a not available with my booking. Would have been extra for premium alcohol. Only thing I can really say I didn’t appreciate but. Overall great place.

One of the few all inclusive hotels in Cartagena. The beach is not in the property but close by. There are only 2 pools 1 pretty small and the main pool which is much bigger and one of the ladders is missing (the main one, right in front of the pool bar) only the steps are there under water and are cracked There is not much to do in the hotel but our room was spacious had a comfortable bed, a balcony but unfortunately didn’t have a nice view. It was a good place to relax and rest when there wasn’t noise from the construction adjacent to the hotel. I have to pin point that In this hotel we found the most customer oriented and courteous people in the whole city of Cartagena and that left a very good impression of the staff on us they were all very pleasant specially a young lady named Valeria that works in two different bars at the hotel. It was pleasure for me and my husband to meet her and in our opinion a great employee for Grand Sirenis hotel.

In general terms it was a great hotel. We liked:
1. Nice big room, all clean, well decorated, not much noise until 9 am or so.
2. Most of the food was really good. Unfortunatly we couldn't get a reservation for a restaurant.
3. Staff was always super kind and atentive.
4. The beach club was cool. They had activities every afternoon.
There were some little things that can be improved like:
1. There were flies all around the buffet restaurant. Disgusting.
2. Sometimes the restrooms in the common areas were dirty.
3. I think in general the hotel needs some maintanance, there rusty things all over the place.
4. They need more signs. We couldn't find the gym, for example.

Do yourself a favor, and please look elsewhere. In many ways, they are still developing and in transition from their previous owner. If I may be honest, I have never been more disgusted/uncomfortable with the treatment towards clients/hospitality.

One of their administrators asked me about my time with them and I respectfully told them how I was a bit disappointed/frustrated, especially since the little things matter to me when at all in-inclusive resorts. I also shared how many of the employees don’t even have the decency to put clients first because I did not feel as welcomed, especially since they lack such enthusiasm for what they do. In many ways, I just felt like a burden and inconvenience, which is unfortunate.

I must admit though that the food was impressive. The room we had was nice. The bed was a bit too hard. When calling housekeeping, they would take a long while to attend our requests.

In summary, I came here wanting to relax and detach myself from my routines only to leave more stressed. Also, the pictures they promote on Expedia are not what they actually have.

Again, do yourself a favor and invest elsewhere where they prioritize the customers and make them feel at home.

Staff is great! Food is good. Activities by the main pool amazing!

Up keep of resort however has gone downhill since our last visit 5 years ago.
Beach is dirty and not private. You cannot see the water from the hotel due to all the structures built on the beach and parked cars which was not there when we first visited under Melia brand.
Rooms could be kept better. Black mold in shower and on drying ladder. Started smelling musty. Very dusty behind headboard like it has never been cleaned.
Visited the spa, and that was run down as well. We came back because we had an amazing experience and were somewhat disappointed when we retured.

This property had everything I was looking for. But I am a simple man. I want a comfortable room, great food, friendly staff, a well stocked bar, and access to water (pool and/or beach)
The room was very nice. Not too big, but accommodating for me. I slept like a baby in the bed. There is a nice sitting area with a table to relax in, and a decent sized balcony that overlooked the pool. I sat out there everyday!
There are two restaurants: The Merkado which is their buffet restaurant and The Fish House is a bit fancier and only for dinner with reservation.
I loved the variety of foods they offered in the buffet. Obviously a lot of Latin dishes, but stuff you don’t see normally. Lots of fresh fruit and breads. And a chef preparing specialty meats and eggs to order.
The staff were very friendly. Always with a smile and a “hola”. My issue was I don’t speak Spanish and it made it difficult to talk with them. But honestly, if you have a basic understanding, you can get by like I did. There were a few of the upper staff who knew I spoke English, made a point to check on me throughout the week which made it more special for me.
There was some construction going on around the area and yes you can hear pounding and other noises. But it didn’t take away from my experience. The construction may be finished in a few months of this review anyway.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing vacation. I had a great time!!

The drive to the hotel is a street of sketchy flooded pothole. When I arrived, I noticed several issues with the room, including mold on the walls, a strong mildew odor, stained wood furnishings, and stained drapery with visible black mold. The amenities did not reflect what was presented on Expedia or your website, and even the toilet was not functioning properly.
We slipped twice in the pool as they use tile at the bottom of the pool.

Overall, the accommodations were not up to the expected standard.

This was a horrible hotel, first of all the smell of mold in the room was awful, the mini bar in our room was never stocked,
At the dining buffets there was limited food, and drinks, I asked the supervisor for a latte at the buffer restaurant and he told me that the lattes were only serve at the bar on the first floor , I asked if it was possible for me to get one and if the waitress could bring it to my dinning table and he told me straight NO, That I has to go my self and get it from the bar which was located on the first floor, terrible customer service.
There is a construction going on next to the hotel and the noise and dust is unbearable.
The snacks were very limited. I ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken was not cooked.
For dinned they only had raw meat that a supposed chef would put on a grilled without any seasoning only salt and pepper they would put the meet there for like 10 minutes and served it to you uncooked.
Please stay away from this hotel.
It is a SCAM, FALSE advertising, the property is very deteriorated, and a lot of water filtration from all 3 floors ceiling.
Not a save building structure.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL!!!!
If you came across this “5 star hotel”, PLEASE BE INFORMED IT IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE!!

1. This hotel is full of locals, therefore if you are from another country, you are not welcomed. All of the staff ignores you and does not greet you nor try to help you. This is NOT for tourists.

2. This so called “resort” is the complete opposite from what Expedia, Viator and Booking websites show. Do not fall for the pictures you see. This is an unsanitary and DANGEROUS HOTEL. You do not get an ocean view. Instead you get a trashy construction view everywhere you go.

3. The rooms- EXTREMELY DISGUSTING, there is mold everywhere you go. You can smell it as soon as you enter the room. They try to cover up the smell with paint, but trust me, if you suffer from sinus allergies, you will immediately become congested and sick once you enter these rooms.

4. Bed bugs- we only stayed one night, and immediately developed rashes all over our bodies from the bed bugs on the sheets. Truly unsanitary.

5. The food- they leave the food out in the lobby for who knows how long. The cups and silverware are all old and nasty. A wine glass is supposed to be clear, NOT yellow.

6. The staff & management, All in all, we have been trying to request our hard-earned money back because we absolutely did not stay past one night, and they HAVE NOT ANSWERED OUR CALLS NOR RETURNED OUR MONEY. HOTEL WILL ROB YOU! They refused to give us any type of paperwork or statement 200$ a night

Staff was very friendly and professional BUT VERY SLOW and not attentive. The room fridge wasn't restocked, tried calling the front desk several times but they never responded. Bars needs more options for mixed drinks and more variety for the buffet. Inside Pool area needs maintenance and more towels. The back pool area towards the beach is small and the downstairs bar is unattended. Small reserved section for the beach but the view is blocked by small vendors and restaurants. The people of work there are always battling for business with the others and can get loud. Overall I wouldn't recommend this location. NEEDS A LOT OF ATTENTION.

From the moment we arrived, I genuinely believed we were at the wrong location. The photos online are incredibly misleading and do not reflect the actual state of the resort. We were greeted by a dog lying idly at the entrance—not exactly the warm welcome one expects. The restaurant had a strong, unpleasant odor and offered extremely limited food options. The bar was just as underwhelming, with only three stools available—not nearly enough for guests at a so-called full-service resort.
Upon entering the room, we were immediately hit with a foul odor that made it difficult to settle in. To make matters worse, there was loud construction taking place directly across from our room. As we walked to our space, construction workers whistled at us, making us feel deeply uncomfortable and unsafe. This behavior is unacceptable and completely inappropriate in any professional hospitality setting.
The second pool was an absolute eyesore—dirty, filled with algae, and clearly unmaintained. It was unusable and further solidified our decision to leave the property altogether. We quickly found an Airbnb, which saved what would have otherwise been a disastrous trip.

I really enjoyed how welcoming and approachable the staff was. I was also impressed by how involved management was and very personable. I enjoyed my stay here because thanks to Chester/Franklin there was always entertainment whether it was in the inside bar or by the pool. I went as a trip with 2 other friends but this resort was also kid friendly with activities by the pool. I highly recommend this resort, the views were fantastic!

This hotel is not being maintained. The smell of mould in the air is very obvious everywhere you go. When we were checked in, we were given a room that had yet to be cleaned and still had dirty bathroom, unmade bed, leftover food. I asked for a second room, but in addition to not being shown as the pictures it was beside a massive condo construction. They did end up moving us into a different building closer to the beach, which was better but still had issues and still had construction all around us.
I think it’s very important that you update your website with this information
