Cartagena Paradise

The property is located right on Bocagrande Beach. It is a short taxi ride to Centro and an easy walk to local restaurants, coffee shops etcThe high floor adds to the quietness of the location and gives a great view of the city and the fireworks were a treat. Tom is a hands on host. His attention to detail and willingness to communicate make him a wonderful resource.

Sky High in Cartagena

This condo is simply amazing. It is situated on the 38th floor directly on the coast with amazing views of the Caribbean Sea and El Centro. The building has security and the condo itself was immaculate and nicely appointed. There are many restaurants nearby and the walled city (El Centro) and Getsemaní are a quick Uber away. However, the best part of this rental is Tom, the owner. He was always available to answer any question I had. And he was very informative even prior to my arrival. I would highly recommend this condo and I would definitely stay here again!

Incredible 12 day stay at this property. Definitely one to revisit again! The place exceeded expectations and was more beautiful than we could have imagined in terms of location and hospitality by Tom. Tom introduced to us to Alvaro a private driver and Deisy a cleaning lady, and they were just as professional and accommodating. We felt safe, taken care of and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tom helped us with anything we needed and went out of his way to ensure our comfort. We felt very lucky and grateful everyday. Thank you so much Tom!

Excellent Vacation

What an amazing place cartagena is and what made it even better was Tom and his amazing condo. Ever since I booked the condo he was communicating with me. Not only did he give us vidoes of the place but every single question he answered no matter how many there was. He also gave us some grear food choices in the walled city and trips to islands for a beach day with beautiful water. The best host we ever had before. The location was perfect. Right on the water but close to so many restaurants even McDonald which was almost right out the front door. The taxi/Uber drive was 10 minutes the most to the walled city. If we ever come back we will be renting from him again. Thanks for an unbelievable vacation.

Paradise in Cartagena

From the moment we saw photos on the VRBO site and read all the positive reviews, we knew this was the place for us to stay on our 10 day trip to Cartagena. And we were not wrong! Paradise on 38 is exactly what the name says, paradise. The apartment is amazing and views from the balcony are breathtaking. Even 38 stories up you can still hear waves crashing into the beach far below. Sunsets were stunning and so peaceful to watch while having a glass of wine on the balcony. The view is constantly changing depending on the time of day and never gets boring. Tom is an A++ host. You can tell he takes great pride in his home and it definitely shows. He gave us great advice on things to do, restaurants, grocery shopping, etc. He makes sure your stay from check-in to departure is flawless, and it was. The apartment is very well located and for us was an easy walk of about 30 minutes to the old town. If you choose to take an Uber or taxi it is only a few dollars. Restaurants are in abundance both right around the property and also in the old town. In summary, you don't need to look any further for the perfect accommodation while visiting Cartagena!

First international solo traveler

So, August 27th was my 30th birthday. Only a month prior, I made the decision to go to Cartegena to celebrate. To my luck, I found this beautiful condo listing. I got even more lucky that the property was managed by Mr Tom. He was the best host I've ever experienced. He gave me a lot of tips in navigating the city, the correct way. From prices, to suggestions, to a list of restaurants to visit. This guy was on it. It can be quite nerve wrecking, to plan an international solo trip, but magically this trip was the best and among the easiest. I planned and planned for a month and everything seem to fall right into place within a timely manner. Being paired with this host was just icing on top of the cake. Mr Tom also out me with his personal driver, Mr Alvaro! Really good guy. He took me where I needed to go, upon arriving. He also brought me back to the airport, when it was my time to return home to the states. This made it that much easier to land in a foreign country and hit the ground running, just as I intended. Imagine not having to really organize much, as far as transportation. You have it all right there at your fingertips. Just convenient. The host was very accommodating. When I withdrew too much money from the ATM, he made it easy for me to reverse that mistake. When I was too tired to go out for dinner, on my last night, Mr Tom ordered a pizza and had it sent right to me. What other host is going to do that? Psh. This guy was A1 in his hosting abilities. I am very blessed to have been paired with these guys. This is really going to spoil me. This first experience has set the bar very high for my future solo travels. I am excited to continue to explore the world. Hopefully there are more Mr Toms out there, for I know this will make my future travels that much more enjoyable. Thank you! Tom & Paola

Wonderful stay in Cartagena!

Paradise in Cartagena. We had a great stay in this beautiful condo. Very clean and wonderful views! Plenty of room for our family with the kids on the pullout couch (7 & 10 years). The second full bathroom was great with 4 of us. The best part was the owner, Tom. I've never had better communication with an owner. He got us settled in and recommendations for restaurants which were spot on! He gave us very accurate prices for taxis around the city and he set up a great beach day to Playa Blanca. We would definitely stay in paradise next time in Cartagena.

This place was amazing and truly indeed Paradise. The place was as advertised — clean, beautifully decorated, bed was super comfortable, 2 full baths with amazing showers, phenomenal view especially during sunsets, and had a clothes washer and dryer. Tom, the owner, was super helpful in providing us with recommendations for some great restaurants and very responsive when we had questions. Tom also helped us booking a trip to Playa Blanca. Definitely recommend staying here.

Every Vrbo should come with a Tom!

This was the first time I’ve ever had a Vrbo owner be so involved in helping me have the absolute best experience. Tom answered my millions of questions before arriving, provided us with the best restaurants, setup a driver to get us at the airport and take us to one of the islands for added safety, and he and his wife even helped to book our island day trips! To say he went above and beyond is an understatement! The place is absolutely beautiful with the most incredible view of the ocean and city. We hit the jackpot by finding this property! If you’re heading to Cartagena, Bocagrande this is the spot for you!! Thanks for everything Tom and Paola!!!

Relaxing retreat in Cartagena

We spent 11 days in this well-situated apartment in Bocagrande. The view of the ocean & of the historic center of the city from the 38th floor was spectacular. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony & listening to the ocean while reading or sipping a glass of wine. There is a nice 2-mile promenade to stroll in the late afternoon too. The pool is a nice option also. Across the street is an area where you can rent umbrellas & chairs if you want to sit on the beach. Several nights we took a taxi into the Centro for dinner at one of the many great restaurants there. Taxis are cheap & only take 5 or 10 minutes to the old section. Tom was a consummate host who was always accessible for any questions we had. It was a very pleasant stay.

I had an amazing time in Cartagena! Tom, the condo owner, was really interactive. He told me where to go and all of the must to do to enhance the stay. All of his recommendations panned out and once I got to the destinations, more goodness followed. The room was really clean and the view was spectacular! The balcony is awesome, with brand new furniture. I would give 10 stars if I could.

More than just a room

I highly recommend Tom's Paradise on 38. It's conveniently located, clean, modern and has excellent amenities. Literally steps away from a number of restaurants, tour bus stops, shopping, ATM - anything you need. Tom makes all the difference though. Tom was accommodating throughout the trip, offering advice and helping out via WhatsApp (and a brief phone call when we arrived). Take his restaurant advice. His connections were also priceless - Alvaro, the driver Tom recommended, is worth every penny he charges and more. This guy took us, stayed with us, weighed in on prices for extras like jet-skis and gets you where you want to be - even though you didn't know you wanted to be there. Example - Alvaro offered to bring us to Playa Blanca - we thought we would be dropped off at the entrance. But no - he knew a guy at a hotel and got us a boat ride over to a more private beach with beach front service, excellent food - the works. These guys carried my (aging) mom in and out of the water to help her get on the boat - they are that accommodating. So, stay with Tom, take his advice, use his contacts - and enjoy Cartagena. I don't know Tom - this is strictly based off of a one week stay at Paradiseon38.

AMAZING CITY,AMAZING HOME, AMAZING HOST

To start this was the best host related stay I have ever had! Tom is a gem in a city known for their gems. His help and knowledge was invaluable. He provided an insiders guild to whatever we needed. He also recommended an amazing gentlemen Alvaro who in addition to being available as a driver was super helpful getting us to a local Fotbol match. Negotiating tickets and seats, trust, this was not for the faint of heart, without him we would have been lost. Tom's images show the apartment exactly how it is, but being their is much more spectacular. I don't think you will find a better place at any price. Paradise 38 was a recommendation from friends who stayed in January, and boy did they do us a favor by passing their experience and information along to us. We will only stay here on our next visit. Do yourself a favor and stop looking at other rentals, this is the only place to stay in Cartagena! Monique M.
