The Pool at Sofitel Legend Santa Clara

"A pool and vast terrace help the place feel like a resort in spite of its central location, while the So Spa has a hammam and locally influenced treatments"

"Most of the hotel’s 139 guestrooms and suites flank the swimming pool, which dominates the 20th-century Republican wing of the property"

"Rooms are either contemporary or colonial-style; the newer ones offer views of the pool or the Caribbean, while colonial suites have antique furniture and overlook the Old Town or interior gardens"

"An outdoor swimming pool stays busy with guests lounging on cushioned chairs or sipping cocktails from umbrella-covered side tables"

"• Sofitel Santa Clara Cartagena boasts the largest swimming pool in the historical center"
