Stay at Casa Alba

The property is exactly as listed. What is underemphasized is the hospitality. From top down all the individuals are exceptional. The food at the hotel is comparable or even better than some of the restaurants we ate at. We had a wonderful time.

Great Family Stay in Cartagena

We had the entire historic Casa Drake (aka Casa Alba) to our group which consisted of several families and our children between the ages of 12-16. The property is very well located and architecturally fantastic and rooms well appointed. Staff was wonderful, helped us make great plans around town and visits to outer islands and made great dining reservations while we were in town. The meals we ate on site (typically breakfast as we ate out most nights/lunches) were delicious. We asked if they could procure an electric guitar for one of our group's 14 yr olds who was missing his back hope and that was no problem...and we had a great concert that night! Really no complaints other than a faulty air conditioner in one of the rooms that was rectified relatively quickly and we would absolutely recommend and come back here. Thanks to all the staff, we had a great visit, well done!

Magical

It’s a magical place and the whole staff is wonderful and attentive. After 14 hour days working, having this shangri-La as a respite… with a dip in the pool and a margarita… was just perfect. A true 10 out of 10 experience.

A fabulous family and friends weekend in Cartagena

We stayed at Casa De Alba for a long weekend it was one of the most spectacular places I've ever stayed. The group consisted of my husband and me, our 3 month old son, and several couples. The house layout is perfect for large groups and the location is ideal - right in the old city. The best part. however, is the staff. Everyone was friendly and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. That includes helping us find and get into certain bars and restaurants and helping us line up activities. They were especially welcoming to our baby son. Shout out to Milton! We had breakfast at the house every day and it was one of the highlights of the trip. We also did one dinner at the house and in retrospect, I would have done more (tho the restaurants in Cartagena are fabulous). We look forward to returning to Casa del Alba again. I can't imagine staying anywhere else.

Best house for large group in Cartagena

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa alba. We ended up fitting 20 people into the house/hotel and that was a great number. The roof deck is incredible with a Direct view of the cathedral and aesthetically speaking, the whole house is beautiful. We also over that everything in the old city is no more than a 10 minute walk, great location. The staff are what really made our stay amazing. Luis took care of everything we needed and the butlers were always happy to run to the store for drinks/water when we needed them. The food was great and always served right on time. After checkout, we left a couple Hundred dollars worth of stuff and after reaching out to Luis, all of it was returned! That really made our stay and speaks to the kind of operation they run. If you have a large group in Cartagena, you can’t go wrong with casa alba. Five stars!
