    Best vacation ever

    The best DJ ever. Since we were the only dancers on the floor he played Haitian music to keep us on the floor and we had a blast. And the bartenders kept serving our favorite drinks. The spectators enjoyed our dancing. The Colombian folk show was excellent.

    Dreams Karibana, Cartagena!

    Wonderful stay at Dreams Karibana. 6 couples, 7 nights. Jorge took care of all of our groups needs, with no problems. Jhony and Yirley, among others, are part of a super wait staff. The Karibana golf course was awesome. Also, we’d highly recommend you have Jorge set up a city tour with Big Al and Ylibert, we had a a wonderful day with them. Don’t look past Cartagena if you’re planning a trip to the Caribbean!

    A memorable time

    I highly recommend Dreams Karibana Cartagena for everyone! Friends, family and couples. This is our favorite resort in Cartagena. Our experience at the Seaside Grill was beyond any expectations. Their staff is super friendly. We are grateful to Angie La fantástica, Jersson Wilber and Chef Katherine did everything in their power to make our stay memorable. It makes us comeback every night. The last day chef Katherine Surprised our family with a celebratory dinner to all to please us with an amazing dinner featuring authentic dishes from the Colombian gastronomy. Thank you for making our stay memorable. Looking forward to coming back !
