Cartagena's pool hotels cluster in two very different worlds. Inside the walled old city and its bohemian neighbor Getsemani, pools are almost always rooftop affairs—smaller, often plunge-sized, but set against colonial rooftops and church spires, with the Caribbean glinting beyond. Out in Bocagrande and along the beach strip, the pools belong to larger resorts and high-rises, built for lounging rather than gazing, with sea views from upper floors and direct access to the sand.
The price spread is enormous—from around 34,513 COP for the most budget-friendly options up to 1,625,270 COP for the top end—but the typical rate sits near 329,447 COP.

The star mix here leans luxurious: 22 five-star, 20 four-star, and 8 three-star properties make up the selection.
This collection of pool hotels suits travelers who want to make the most of Cartagena's warm climate, whether that means a rooftop soak overlooking the old city or a splash in a beachfront resort.
