Dec 07, 2025Loved it!
This was our 1st trip to Colombia and we found the Dreams Karibana to be a great place to call home. The hotel is big and bright with a friendly and welcoming staff and the entertainment team was amazing, with so many fun activities and classes like yoga, Spanish lessons, salsa classes and more. And the free shuttle to the walled city is great, we went 4 times!

Great and funny experience
Great experience and show. Its such a good idea to involve the audience within the show! Great catch there! Its very thoughtful that the hotel prepares a different whole experience for each night.

Relaxation at its finest
Spent four days at this little slice of heaven after getting my full Colombian experience with a week stay in the walled city. The food and drinks were solid, the room (preferred club junior suite w/ ocean view) was spacious and clean, and the staff is incredibly hard working and friendly (shout out to Yenny the fitness instructor and Jesus at the main pool). While I don't think my travels will bring me back to Colombia, I would definitely say this resort is worth a visit if you are looking for great relaxation around Cartagena.

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. The rooms were beyond our expectation and the massage therapists knew what they were doing!!! I traveled with my husband, mother and son and all of us enjoyed our stay, from 16-82 years old!
