Beautiful Suite Experience

I stayed in a gorgeous suite with high ceilings and an enormous shuttered bedroom. The cool air-conditioning and ceiling fans made my stay incredibly comfortable, and the bed was so cozy that I fell asleep immediately. It was a real treat!

Relaxing Courtyard Pool

The pool in the courtyard was the perfect oasis for relaxation after a day exploring. I truly enjoyed spending my afternoons there, soaking up the sun and unwinding. Plus, the complimentary wine and snacks in the late afternoon were an unexpected bonus!

My stay at Casa Pestagua was absolutely unforgettable! The spacious room and stunning architecture felt luxurious, and the location in the heart of the city was perfect for exploring. While I loved the dining experience, the breakfast at times had limited variety. Overall, it was a fantastic value for the price, although I wish the rooftop jacuzzi was more accessible from my room.

Casa Pestagua is a charming hotel that perfectly captures the colonial atmosphere of Cartagena. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the staff is incredibly helpful. However, our junior suite on the ground floor felt quite dark and did not provide the level of privacy we expected. While we enjoyed our stay, we felt the price was a bit high for the room we received.

My stay at this hotel was incredible, truly a haven amidst Cartagena's vibrancy. The staff was exceptionally warm and helpful, making my experience unforgettable. The rooms were not only beautiful and pristine but also very spacious, though being on a duplex might require some negotiating with stairs. Dining was a highlight, especially the fresh ceviche and the stunning rooftop area. I truly enjoyed my time here, but I wish I could have stayed longer to fully appreciate everything this fantastic place had to offer.
