The Pool at Hotel Casa San Agustin

"A small swimming pool beckons in the main courtyard below an ancient aqueduct, as do a few white couch-lined nooks for alfresco refreshments"

"At the heart of the building, an up-lit dogleg swimming pool breaks through a towering 300-year-old aqueduct to unite three elegant mansions"

"However, its the unique building (through which the city's former aqueduct cuts over an angular swimming pool) that creates such an unusual and atmospheric space, not to mention its superengaged and polite staff and club-like atmosphere"

"Begin your day with a complimentary breakfast, take a few laps in the pool, followed by a mojito (or 3 mojitos), lunch, and if your body allows, take a few steps outside the gate and you'll be quickly immersed in Cartagena culture"

"While away the hours by the peaceful poolscape before sampling the seafood at renowned restaurant, ALMA"

"A stunning interior courtyard with a mosaic tile pool and a gorgeous rooftop with city views are real highlights, but the property’s best amenity is its acclaimed on-site restaurant, Alma"

"Premium rooms are a favorite, especially the one with a whirlpool"

"The pool’s warm lighting makes it shimmer, seemingly in agreement The turndown service in our room has been completed by the time we return; the crisp inviting sheets and the towelling slippers by our bed await"
