Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryHotel Caribe by Faranda Grand, a member of Radisson Individuals, evokes a mixed set of emotions among its guests. Nestled within a beautiful historic property, the establishment boasts some striking 5-star elements, particularly in its exteriors and certain facilities. Many guests found the buffet breakfast and dinner excellent and consistently praised the friendly and helpful staff, who contributed to a welcoming atmosphere. The pool area also received accolades, adding to the overall charm of the hotel.

However, numerous reviews express disappointment, noting that the hotel's current state is not in line with a 5-star standard. Several guests feel that while the hotel was once deserving of its 5-star rating, it now falls short due to a lack of maintenance and attention to detail. The need for room renovations and modernizing efforts is recurrently highlighted with some guests pointing out issues like mold and limescale in bathrooms.

The food and service, particularly in the poolside restaurant, were also mentioned as not meeting the expected standards of a 5-star establishment. Despite some elements of a luxurious experience, the consensus suggests that the hotel requires significant improvements to reclaim its 5-star status. Overall, while there are areas where the Hotel Caribe shines, it currently does not fully live up to the high expectations that come with its prestigious rating.

From $116
5-Star HotelSummary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryHotel Almirante Cartagena Colombia falls significantly short of its 5-star rating according to various guest reviews. The hotel's facilities and services reveal substantial discrepancies with the high standards associated with five-star establishments. Predominantly, the outdated and neglected condition of the hotel's infrastructure was a major point of contention with multiple mentions of necessary repairs and a lack of modernization. The dated bathrooms and consistently lukewarm, if not cold, water were also critical concerns.

Guests consistently remarked that the hotel appears run-down and does not match the promotional images. The breakfast service was described as subpar, especially for a hotel claiming a five-star status. Additional service issues at the reception, limited amenities like cable channels and the lack of complimentary coffee and tea further contributed to the general disapproval. Although the hotel was considered acceptable for business stays, it was clear that it fell far below the five-star expectations in all other aspects.

Ultimately, the recurring theme was the glaring gap between the hotel's marketed image and its actual state with its features and offerings more akin to a three-star level. Such a discrepancy led several guests to feel that the current pricing did not justify the value provided. Despite some good services, Hotel Almirante Cartagena Colombia seems to struggle to meet the standards of a genuine five-star experience.

Visitors often remark on the immaculate stay and great service they receive upon arrival. Though the hotel presents itself as a five-star establishment, many guests perceive it more akin to a four or four and a half star hotel, similar to those found in the United States.
