We moved to a different hotel in Cartagena for the latter part of our time there. It was fantastic!
The Sofitel Santa Clara is an old convent with a cloister...... from the 15th century.
It's bar is famous as having been the local bar frequented by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. He had a home just around the corner and supposedly wrote Life in the Time of Cholera while living there.
Now the hotel has had the addition of new rooms and pool! A little larger and more luxurious than it's rooms in the 15/16th century! Can definitely recommend!
Having spent quite a time within the walled city area we decided to spend a day on an island off the coast!
The Makani beach club is on the Isla de Tierra Bomba which is just off the coast. This actually was a terrific idea! We were told where to go to be taken out by boat ....
..... it was a contrast to the narrow cobbled streets of Cartagena.... there were very few people there.
And they had a great massage and restaurant area....
It was a very relaxing day.
Taking a ride around Cartagena by horse drawn carriage was another great idea!
