Bad bed
Hotel service was good. The bed was really bad. It was so hard that I had to ask for another room. They said all the beds we’re like that, that the only thing they could do was to put a bed cushion. That help a little. The first three days I couldn’t sleep.

There was someone or something in the room above us, noise kept us up. Was noisy sometimes during the day. Reported it to the front desk twice. We again reported it when checking out, young lady at desk said she reported it and management stated there was no one in that room. The noise was very loud.

Showers dont really get hot in columbia. Bed was stiff. There was no sauna as listed on expedia. That was the only reason I chose the hotel. Not the greatest condition compared to American hotels. This is my honest review.

Our stay with Atlantic Lux was a great disappointment. We would not recommend this hotel given the much better comparable hotels in Cartagena we subsequently stayed in.
The rooms are old and bathrooms aren't clean. The 1 working elevator is extremely slow, so be prepared to wait a good 15 minutes every time you want to go up or down with suitcases.
The staff takes several days to respond to any communication over Expedia. They responded to our request for a crib 3 days after we had checked-out (request sent weeks in advance). We had to laugh.
Lastly, we paid for a suite with a closed bedroom as we were traveling with a baby. The hotel made a mistake with the reservation and put us in a standard room. As opposed to simply crediting the difference in price, it took us contesting the charge on our credit card. After several weeks of dealing with them, our credit card immediately agreed with the dispute and forced them to reimburse us the difference.
Overall, we recommend avoiding this hotel. We stayed in 2 other hotels in this area and each was a vast improvement over Atlantic Lux.

Terrible check in. Was given a standard room where u could hear animals going crazy. I had to convince them i paid for a premium room. I finally got it but It still didnt match the description. Fine. Then another couple was given a key to our room and walked in on us getting ready to shower. I had to get my key re made every single day, their payment system malfunctioned and it wasnt made clear to me what happened w my billing. Staff never apologized for anything. But the couple that walked in on us did.

Horrible hotel
This hotel was horrible, not only did the elevator stop working at some point and that we had a walk up 13 floors but the service is horrible and the rooms are old and outdated and the wall are cracked. The drawers are broken on the dresser and on the desk there is mildew in the hallway of where the rooms are and the staff is nasty and rude and they don’t give you a refund
