Hotel Almirante Cartagena

The Resort and Its Setting

Hotel Almirante Cartagena is an independent property with RCI affiliation, meaning it isn't part of a large international chain but still gives owners access to RCI's exchange network for swapping weeks with other affiliated resorts worldwide. It sits in Cartagena, in the department of Bolívar, within easy reach of the city's UNESCO-listed Old Town — a compact grid of colonial buildings, plazas and cobbled streets that forms the heart of the city's tourism appeal.

Cartagena: The Area and What to Do

Cartagena is one of the best-preserved colonial cities in the Caribbean, and its Old Town is the obvious starting point for any stay: expect pastel-coloured balconies, horse-drawn carriages, street food stalls and a steady buzz of live music in the evenings. Just beyond the walls, the Getsemaní neighbourhood has become the city's creative quarter, known for street art, craft breweries and a younger, more bohemian nightlife scene. History buffs should head to the San Felipe Fortress, a hilltop 18th-century stronghold with sweeping views over the bay. For beach time, the Rosario Islands and Playa Blanca on the Barú Peninsula are both reachable by boat day trips, offering the white sand and clear water that draw visitors away from the city centre for a day. Cartagena's climate is warm and humid year-round, with December to March generally considered the driest stretch for beach plans.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Hotel Almirante Cartagena and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. As an owner-to-owner marketplace, we don't buy or broker your timeshare — you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's a small one-time listing fee to publish your ad, and BidMyTimeshare.com charges 0% commission on the sale or rental itself, so you keep what you negotiate.

Because Hotel Almirante Cartagena is an independent property, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large brand's resale department. Specific transfer fees, any right of first refusal the resort may hold, and the current annual maintenance fee aren't figures we can publish here — before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers should request these details directly from the resort's management, and buyers should ask for the same before finalising any deal. A resale buyer at an independent resort generally takes on the usage rights tied to the deeded or contracted week itself; they don't automatically inherit any resort loyalty perks the original owner may have accumulated, so it's worth confirming in writing exactly what is — and isn't — included.

If RCI affiliation matters to you as a buyer, note that it's the resort's membership, not a personal benefit transferred automatically — ask the seller or the resort to confirm that RCI participation stays active with the unit after a change of ownership.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters researching Hotel Almirante Cartagena are typically looking for walkable access to the Old Town, a base from which to arrange day trips to the islands, and a clear sense of which week(s) are available and at what cost — all of which a clear, detailed listing can cover. Owners selling or renting should be upfront about which week or season they hold, since Cartagena's high season (roughly December to March) tends to attract the most interest, while shoulder months can appeal to renters looking for a quieter, less crowded version of the city.
