Ghl Corales De Indias is another family favorite, offering a large pool and ocean views close to Marbella Beach. Other 5-star options like Hyatt Regency Cartagena and Estelar Cartagena feature impressive pools with sea views.
Most of Cartagena's family friendly hotels are 5-star properties, 30 in total. These range from beachfront resorts like Hotel Caribe By Faranda Grand and Las Americas Torre Del Mar with their extensive leisure facilities, to colonial luxury stays within the walled city such as Hotel Casa San Agustin and Charleston Santa Teresa. The highest rated is Hotel Casa San Agustin with a 9.2 rating, offering a spa and top-rated service. The 5-star experience in Cartagena typically includes rooftop pools, spas, and prime locations, with prices starting around 210,218 COP at Ghl Arsenal Hotel.

Others like Hotel Santa Catalina By Oxohotel and La Passion By Masaya Collection are located in the historic center, offering colonial charm and easy access to the old town's attractions.
For families wanting immediate beach access, Bocagrande is the primary area. Hotels like Hotel Intercontinental Cartagena and Hotel Almirante Cartagena Colombia offer beachfront or beach-adjacent stays with ocean views. Las Americas Torre Del Mar goes further with a private beach and waterslides. Hotel Caribe By Faranda Grand is a short walk from the beach.

Family friendly doesn't have to break the bank in Cartagena. The cheapest options start around 131,779 COP per night, with hotels like Hotel Casa Mara By Akel Hotels offering a quiet courtyard and rooftop pool in Getsemani. Hotel Cartagena Plaza (4-star) is available from 229,044 COP and is steps from the beach. Other affordable choices include Hotel Boutique Las Carretas and La Passion By Masaya Collection, both under 250,000 COP, providing a comfortable base without sacrificing location or essential amenities.
For beach access and resort-style amenities, Bocagrande is ideal, with hotels like Hotel Intercontinental and Las Americas Torre Del Mar. For history and colonial charm, the walled city and Getsemani offer unique experiences, with hotels such as Ghl Arsenal Hotel and Hotel Casa San Agustin. Consider your family's priorities—beach time versus exploring the old town.
Las Americas Torre Del Mar stands out with waterslides and a kids' club. Ghl Corales De Indias also has a large pool and is noted as family-friendly. Many other hotels, including Hyatt Regency and Estelar, offer infinity pools perfect for cooling off, though these might not be specifically designed for children.
You can find family-friendly hotels starting from around 131,779 COP per night. A typical stay costs about 442,400 COP, while luxury options in the old town or on Baru island can reach 1,851,176 COP per night. Prices vary by location, amenities, and season.
Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) is the main airport serving Cartagena. It's about a 15-20 minute drive to Bocagrande and the old town, where most family friendly hotels are located. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available.
Cartagena's family friendly hotels cluster in two distinct worlds. In Bocagrande and along the coast, you'll find high-rise beachfront properties with ocean views, large pools, and easy access to the beach—think Las Americas Torre del Mar or Hotel Intercontinental Cartagena. In the historic walled city and Getsemani, family friendly stays come in restored colonial mansions with rooftops pools and courtyards, like Hotel Casa San Agustin or Ghl Arsenal Hotel. The contrast is stark: one offers the convenience of a resort, the other the charm of cobblestone streets and colonial architecture.
Prices reflect this split. At the budget end, you can find comfortable family rooms in Getsemani or the old town from around 131,779 COP per night, often in 3-star hotels like Hotel Casa Mara By Akel Hotels. For a splurge, top-tier 5-star properties in the old town or on Baru island go up to 1,851,176 COP. Between these, the typical cost for a family-friendly stay is about 442,400 COP per night, giving you a solid range of options whether you prioritize beach time or history.
This collection of family friendly hotels in Cartagena suits families who want a mix of beach, history, and comfort, with options ranging from budget-friendly stays to luxury resorts. If your priority is a dedicated kids' club and waterslides, Las Americas Torre Del Mar is the clear pick. For those who prefer a more authentic colonial stay in the heart of the city, properties like Hotel Casa San Agustin offer a memorable experience.
