Why they chose this property
The Ivy House Cartagena is right in the middle of the historic city center that is encapsulated within large coral walls that protected the city from invaders for centuries.
The beautiful old Spanish architecture makes you feel like you're walking through an old European town but with added benefit of having pristine Caribbean islands just a quick boat ride away. There is no wonder why this neighborhood was attributed the nickname- "The Pearl of the Caribbean."
For almost 500 years this city has kept its charm and now predominately geared to tourism with amazing restaurants, bars, entertainment and historic monuments wherever you look.
You have everything you need within blocks and is the hub of everything here. You can also rest assured knowing that the historic city center is secure and patrolled by police.
