Hotel San Pedro de Majagua, Cartagena

Advantages: Absolutely stunning hotel and area
Disadvantages: It's a bit tricky getting in and out of the hotel after midnight

...It is utterly beautiful, half of the hotel is the original hotel building and the other half further back is much more modern. We stayed in the more modern section of the hotel. The bedroom was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely, there was a shower over the bath, and the bath itself was very big and deep. The room was very clean and pretty and we had our own little balcony with a couple of chairs on it. As we stayed on a half board basis breakfast and dinner were included. The restaurant itself was very nice, it had a classy but relaxed atmosphere and the food was served as a buffet. There was quite a lot of options, but vegetarian options were a bit basic.

LOCATION The hotel is situated in the small spanish village of san pedro de alacantara, which as said by the holiday rep is "untouched by tourism, other than the McDnalds!". The village is around a 15 minute walk from the hotel, however within only a 5 minute walking distance, within sort of a mini village there are some small shops and bars as well as a little supermarket. In the village there are shops and bars and it has to be said that some of the tapas bars there are amongst the best I have been in, and well worth a try. The village and area is very remote with not much else about but all the essentials are on site. THE ROOMS... Read review
