A gem of a hotel!

My kids and I stayed at Casa De Alba for 4 nights in early June. We found the room and hotel in line with the online description. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff was super helpful and responsive. We appreciated breakfast which was filling and delicious. The front desk always gave good recommendations and booked the walking and beach tours for us. The location was also extremely convenient. Overall, an A+! We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing stay. This is a historical landmark, and as a result of it being a historical site, there are areas that are not air conditioned. But our room was kept cool and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to meet our every need. Breakfast was delicious. The location is safe and central.

I stayed in room 11 at Casa De Alba for 9 nights in early September 2023. This was a great hotel with excellent staff and an awesome location. The staff went the extra mile helping me plan my days and navigate the streets of Cartegna. I really enjoyed the pool after a long day of adventuring. My only complaint is there is no hot water unless you ask for it. It was explained that the d city doesn’t have adequate water but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. I would stay here again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly hidden and exceptionally intimate sanctuary in San Andrés. From the moment we entered, it felt like we had stumbled into our own private villa, complete with tranquil interiors and personalized service that rivals any five-star resort. With just a handful of rooms, each space is curated with exceptional detail and care, making it feel like a bespoke haven. What made this stay unforgettable was the intimacy—it was as if the hotel itself knew our pace, our tastes, and our need for quiet luxury. The service was flawless, deeply kind, and genuinely attentive. I highly recommend asking for Leyla, who greeted us with such warmth and grace, setting the tone for the entire stay. We remained under Leyla and the team's care each day, and felt unbelievably held and taken care of. If you're looking for a boutique experience that feels personal, serene, and elegant, Casa Harb is a once-in-a-lifetime escape.

Sebastian and Christian were very helpful during our stay. Sebastian took the initiative to make sure we got to our adventure and found the pick up area for our Beach Day. Thomas gave great restaurant suggestions. The staff did an awesome job and they are the type of people that make guests want to return. We were there celebrating a 20th anniversary and the hotel was very quaint. We felt like family during our visit in this boutique with 7 rooms. Loved reading a book on balcony overlooking pool & during breakfast on the patio across from the church & square. The rooftop was cute but we did not get to use it. We didn’t realize the history behind Casa Drake until we kept seeing the stops by different tours & people wanting to catch a peek inside. Size of room/closet/bathroom and walkable location were both the best hidden gems! We really enjoyed Wall City! We plan to return!

This is a 5* if all that counted is charm character, design, excellent location, and friendly helpful staff. 4* rating is mainly because it presents a number of practical challenges for those expecting your typical luxury / high-end business hotel. Biggest is the lack of phones in the rooms, so even for a cup of coffee, or simple question in the middle of the night you have to lug it down to the reception desk. Again, it’s a wonderful, 5* level property when it comes to charm, character, and design, but definitely not for those looking for more traditional 5* level amenities and services.

Very disappointing stay at Casa de Alba, especially for the price (over $1,000). We stayed from Friday to Monday, and our room had plumbing issues the entire time. The toilet was leaking from day one, and although we reported it immediately, it was not properly fixed. At one point, water from the bathroom leaked into the suite, and we were left without access to our room and bathroom for several hours while repairs were attempted. Even after that, the issue persisted—by our last day, the toilet was still not working properly and clogged again. Cleanliness was also a concern. There was visible dust buildup throughout the room, and we found what appeared to be rodent droppings under the sink. Overall, the room did not match the images online, which felt misleading. At this price level, basic functionality and cleanliness should not be issues. Staff was polite, but the lack of resolution significantly impacted our stay. I would not recommend this place unless you check status of your room first.
