This full service historic hotel is absolutely magnificent. The colonial architecture and lush flower decorations give this place beautiful character and charm. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. Luisa and Khora at the concierge desk are very helpful and most gracious. They are amazing! The roof top pool is relaxing and the staff is very attentive. The restaurant Harry's is a bit overpriced but food is very good. They also have a spa and they will lend you bikes so that you can take a ride around the old historic streets. All rooms come with an Ipad to use while you are at the hotel. It's a great place to stay for your vacation.

Everything was perfect, except for....

Pros: Free breakfast
Cons: No free Internet
The charleston Santa Teresa in Cartagena is an excellent hotel the staff is wonderful, accommodations were fantastic. The only problem, and in this day and age this is a big one, is that they charge $10.00 per hour for Internet. It has to be one consecutive hour. The hotel is very expensive and this charge made everyone I spoke with quite frustrated, which diminishes the total experience.
