Returned from 6 days in Cartagena. Exceeded expectations.

Accommodation:
Guesthouse near the main area. $54/night. Clean and central.

Scene:
About what the forum described. Prices were fair for the quality.

Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 10 encounters total.

Logistics:
Rented a motorbike for flexibility. Street food was a highlight.

Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.

Overall: 9/10. Would definitely return.

Happy to answer any questions.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
