The Pool at Hilton Cartagena Hotel

"The beach past the impressive pool area has essentially been claimed by the hotel and is less populous than others on the peninsula, but despite touches of green remains a rather drab, gray-sand affair"

"5 baths, whirlpool tub, stand-alone shower and double sinks"
