(Drivebycuriosity) - After exploring Bogota (bogota) we came back to Cartagena where we had started our Colombian journey (driveby). We stayed 3 nights in a different hotel on Bocagrande (Hyatt Regency ), a small peninsula. The name means "big mouth" and refers to the wide entry into the Cartagena bay where the harbor is located.
Bocagrande looks a bit like Manhattan and our hotel (Hyatt Regency) is part of the skyline. Fortunately we got a room on floor 28 with an amazing view onto the ocean.
The hotel had opened January 2017 and was still in beta phase. So we could enjoy a luxury hotel with a deep discount. The occupancy was very low and we spotted more personal than hotel guests. So we had pools, observation deck, restaurant and other facilities almost four ourselves.
The main attractions were the 3 pools on 13th and 14th floor. Especially the longest one - with a length of maybe 25 meters - invited to do laps in the early morning hours and in the night without getting burned by the tropical sun.
Hotel room and the spacious pool- & bar-deck offered amazing views onto the Caribbean ocean and the bay. One we watched a submarine which was leaving the marine harbor.
We really enjoyed Cartagena and we plan to come back not too late.
