About
Roma Beach
Roma Beach sits directly on the sand at Playa Tranquila, Baru, about 4 km from Playetas. It's a small, independent property where the sea is the main event—rooms open to a terrace, and the private beach is right there. The hotel offers a restaurant, bar, and room service, plus snorkelling gear for exploring the water.
The staff get consistent praise for their warmth and helpfulness, and the location works well for exploring the area: Playa Puntilla is a quick 5-minute drive away. With a 24-hour reception, tours and ticket assistance, and a paid airport shuttle, it's practical for both day-trippers and longer stays.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort scores low — The Comfort rating is 6.2, the weakest category—so expectations for bedding, climate control, or quiet should be modest.
- Rooms and service are mixed — Rooms score 7.6 and Service 7.4, which is decent but not outstanding. Some guests may find the basics fine rather than exceptional.
- Breakfast not included — Breakfast isn't mentioned in the amenities or policies, so you'll likely need to arrange meals separately or pay extra.
- No air conditioning listed — Air conditioning isn't in the amenities, which could matter on hot Cartagena days. Check with the hotel before booking.
