House on a trash-filled, abandoned, unsafe beach.

Don't be tricked by this property's photos & price. This property is nothing that it says it is. We wasted a day of vacation at this dump. We understood from the listing that our stay would be a safe, quiet, and relaxing getaway on the pristine, sandy beach where our kids could play and enjoy safely.
The boat that brought us to the island approached a dock in front of the house. The house looked similar to the pictures on the website. Minus the grass and cleanliness. However the beach was a trash-filled (glass, plastic, dog feces, etc), dangerous & nothing like the pictures. The neighbor's regeatone music was blasting (a shack about 2 mtrs to one side of the property & an abandoned lot another 2 mtrs on the other side), and the back yard of the "hotel" basically looked like junk storage, with a water tank.
The room inside was generally okay, except that the air conditioning was not working. Cartagena is 100 degrees + and air conditioning is absolutely necessary. The water that came out of the faucets was brown, and we felt dirtier after we showered than before. The downstairs kitchen & living area closed at 10pm, so you were confined to your room that was too hot, because everywhere else was unsafe & dirty.
