An Oasis of Excellence: The Unforgettable Casa Lola Deluxe
Casa Lola Deluxe is not merely a hotel; it is an upscale oasis that served as the definitive highlight of our visit to Cartagena. While the city itself presented challenges, stepping through the doors of Casa Lola felt like entering a sanctuary where our every need was not just met, but anticipated with grace and genuine warmth.
The hospitality at Casa Lola is truly out of this world. The staff consistently goes above and beyond, transforming professional service into personalized care. We felt genuinely safe and utterly taken care of throughout our stay, a feeling cemented by the incredible night and day front desk attendants, Harold and Christian. As well as the bellboy Jailer to name just a few. Both agents and bellboy demonstrated an unwavering commitment to ensuring our best interests were prioritized.
This spirit of service extended to exceptional requests, such as the marvelous private massage they arranged for us on the rooftop—a moment of serene luxury. Furthermore, Casa Lola maintains a beautifully welcoming and affirming atmosphere, being notably LGBTQ friendly, which speaks volumes about its inclusive and professional ethos.
Our stay in the Presidential Suite was, quite simply, the nicest accommodation we have ever experienced. The suite is a masterpiece of design, showcasing an eclectic and captivating art collection that elevates the space far beyond typical luxury. The hotel’s general ambiance is tasteful and upscale, with museum-worthy art pieces adorning every corridor and common area, making simply walking through the property an aesthetic pleasure.
The dining experience rivals the best in the city, thanks to the incredible chef who has curated a truly phenomenal menu. Every dish was a testament to sophisticated flavor and exquisite preparation. We highly recommend the savory chilichuri steak, the perfect bite of lobster croquettes, and the tender octopus. Do not skip dessert; the tiramisu and the ginger chocolate cake are absolutely mandatory conclusions to a perfect meal.
The magnificent rooftop pool area is the crown jewel for relaxation and entertainment. An afternoon dip gives way to magical evenings, especially when the hotel hosts events, such as the unforgettable night a DJ was invited, creating a vibrant, yet polished, party atmosphere under the stars.
We would visit Cartagena again just for the sole purpose of staying at Casa Lola Deluxe. It is a destination in itself and an absolute must-book for discerning travelers.
