    Perfect location in the centre. Close but far enough from the chaos. Very comfortable and homely. Very very reasonably priced for what you get. I would stay there again 1000%. Bed was so comfortable too. A great great find!

    Great location! Close to the main walking paths and at least the 2 nights we were there, not at all noisy. But best of all was the kind and helpful staff. They even let us leave our big bags there while we went to tayrona national park.

    We liked the location. It was far away enough from all the action and noise but close enough for us to get to when needed. We also enjoyed the pools. The water was perfect!

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Cactus! The location is perfect: exactly in the downtown but not in the busy, more noisy area with bars and restaurants (but just a few min walking distance). The rooftop patio for breakfast or seeing the sun set...
