The setting was nice and ideal, right next to the historic center as well as restaurants and shops. Staying in Bocagrande was worthwhile. I enjoyed the Colombian food in the attached restaurant.”

Our standard double room came with a good breakfast buffet selection, though the breakfast itself was moderate and unchanged.
