Amazing place, very modern inside, and well located. Needless to say, the best rooftop pool I have been in a while with an amazing sunset. We were at the Bastion with our two kids from 12-23-20 to 12-28-20. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Every single staff member made us really feel special and we were well taken care of. Jorge and Andrea at the rooftop bar were absolutely the BEST, they made our experience at the Bastion extra special! We will certainly come back to the Bastion whenever we get back to Cartagena.

We stayed at Bastion as a group of 9 people (2 families traveling together) and can not say enough about this hotel. It is a beautiful property in a very central location with a fantastic rooftop pool area and an outstanding breakfast BUT what stood out more than anything was the amazing service we received from everyone at this hotel. Everyone went above and beyond to help us with anything that we needed—from making a dinner reservation to celebrate a birthday to arranging transportation to a town 4 hours outside of the city to graciously responding to all of our daily needs, we absolutely loved the staff! The service at this hotel far surpasses that of any other hotel we have visited. Thank you Bastion!
