This gorgeous boutique hotel is exactly as pictured. The staff is super friendly, and the breakfast (included) is delicious. The hotel has been thoughtfully designed so it is a really harmonious experience being there. A huge bonus is their sister resort, the Blue Apple on Tierra Bomba island. Guests of the Townhouse don't pay a day pass fee for travel to and from and use of Blue Apple's facilities. There is a port fee to pay (if I remember correctly it was about $80 for four people), and you do pay for your food and drink, but this was a wonderful surprise for us, as we'd expected to pay $80 - $100 each for a day pass to an island resort for a beach day. Also good to know: the old city in Cartagena is a boisterous place, but the hotel's windows/doors are very soundproof, so we always slept soundly. Anyhow, 10/10!
