LuxMare House

A place that stays with you forever. This penthouse in Cartagena’s walled city exceeds every expectation — and we had high ones. The ocean views are simply breathtaking, but it’s the sunsets that steal your soul: skies ablaze in orange and pink over the sea, from a rooftop that feels like it floats above history. A kind of magic you don’t forget. The interior design has a level of artistic curation rarely seen in any accommodation — every object, every corner, every detail speaks of genuine taste. And on top of that, an absolute tranquility we never expected to find in the heart of the historic old city. But what truly elevates the experience is the service. Warm, attentive, anticipating your every need — present at exactly the right moment without ever feeling intrusive. You can feel the care and dedication behind every single detail. We left wishing we could have stayed longer. Without a doubt one of the best stays we’ve ever had. We’ll be back very soon.

We used this place for a family reunion around a wedding and it worked really well. The rooftop is the highlight. Views over the Caribbean and the old city are impressive, sunset up there is hard to beat. Jacuzzi and pool both facing the view, sofa area and a big outdoor table, plenty of space for a group to spread out and not feel on top of each other. Inside the apartment is nicely decorated, clearly someone put thought into it. Art, good furniture, feels more like a home than a rental. Very well located, quiet street, walked everywhere. Staff were excellent. Bags taken up on arrival, always available when you needed something, never in the way when you didn't. Made the whole experience smoother. Would recommend for any family gathering or group trip!

Came with four other couples and the place handled it without any issues. The rooftop is the defining feature and the views are the reason. Fully open over the Caribbean, the kind of panorama you dont forget. Outdoor dining table, gathering sofa, loungers by the jacuzzi, pool right at the edge facing the sea. You cycle through depending on the moment, dinner at the table, sunset from the jacuzzi, drinks on the sofa after dark with the city glowing below. Bedrooms are all good size and each has its own private bathroom, a detail that sounds minor until you traveling with a group and realise how much it matters. Location is inside the action but not inside the noise, walkable to everything, quiet enough to sleep. AC, water, WiFi all worked fine. Staff handled the bags on arrival, no friction on the stairs. Hard to find a better base for Cartagena with a group or family. Can't leave without a shout out for Eliana and Nicolas, they made everything easier and kept the space fantastic.
