I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Estelar in Bocagrande, Cartagena. The location was perfect, just steps from the beach and close to everything. The staff was warm and attentive, always making sure I felt welcome and comfortable. My room was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful view of the ocean. The breakfast buffet was delicious with plenty of variety. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I would definitely stay here again.
