ALL Inclusive???

In my opinion, the main reason to go to Cartagena is the selection of restaurants, bars and nightlife. All inclusive would be boring. Don't miss eating at La Vitrola. One of my favorites in Cartagena.

oh i see from past post your already booked in, well there is some good about being in the decameron I stayed there on my first trip. Its nice enough and you'll save on booze and food. When I was there my friend and I met some girls from barranquilla and invited them to stay with us and it was a real GONG show trying to get the girls into the hotel, they made them feel like Hookers. It was hilarious my friend who's a real negotiator had a sit down with the manager and they argued back and forth for half hour my friend kept saying " be a man make a decision" The decameron sells a good deal to colombians and other south americans so the hotel will be packed with families who are pretty much trapped with you in the hotel lots of opportunities to wheel. However, any girls you meet outside the resort your gonna have to court outside the hotel. There's no wrong way to do cartagena every moment will be fun,.. count on it. Too bad ill be gone by the time u get there.
remember, we're all in this together.

My buddy went thru the same thing. If you don't have a bracelet, you don't get in w/ out paying like $60 or something for the night even just to visit for an hour.

Find extra bracelets somehow and you are golden. :)

We even paid gringo prices $280 a person for five days. We thought we were getting a good deal. NOT! The avianca flight attendants I hung out w/ the whole time had a nice separate bedroom and paid half that for the same amount of time.

Love and happiness!
