Hotel Costa del Sol

On Cartagena’s Bocagrande seafront, this beach hotel sits steps from Bocagrande Beach and a short drive from the Clock Tower and the walled old city. It’s minutes from the convention center and about 10 minutes (≈7.5 km) from Rafael Núñez International Airport.

Public areas include a terrace with views and multilingual staff (English and Spanish) ready to help with tours and local tips. Expect a relaxed seafront vibe and easy access to sand and city sights.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools or grab a drink at the poolside bar. There’s a terrace and banquet hall for events, complimentary wireless internet across the property, tour/ticket assistance, and on‑site parking. Buffet breakfast is served daily (fee applies) and a coffee shop keeps snacks on hand.

A full business center and conference facilities with multiple meeting rooms (six rooms and capacity for up to 1,000 people) make this place event‑ready. High‑speed wired internet is available (surcharge). Free self parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle are offered (shuttle for a fee).
