Best Arabic Dance Courses In Cartagena Near Me

Aline aline: Me diverti bastante. Fui 2x

Katja Rissmann: We had 6 private sessions with Ruben and loved it! Would highly recommend as we learned so much and enjoyed the process :)

Emily Barrett: My husband and I did a 2:1 private class - we had never danced salsa before! Great teacher, we had a lot of fun & learned the basics. We wished we had longer to do a course!

Serena Romagnoli: My boyfriend and I paid for private classes. He had basically zero knowledge, me some basics. Ended up having a teacher just to have someone counting 1-2-3 5-6-7 for us while looking at herself on the mirror. End of it. End of her contribution.Sure she gave some directions to my boyfriend - so basic that I would have been able to do the same for free.Given me and my boyfriend had 2 different levels, I didn’t learn anything new.Cherry on top, we started late to look for the A/C remote but didn’t get the time back at the end. And to be honest, given the kind of experience, I wasn’t too sad.I read many positive reviews, I’m sure that if you take 14 h lessons they make a better investment on clients.But this is not private class, this is a nice and colorful tourist trap.

Karin Goetz: Guter Salsa-Unterricht

Charneice McKenzie: This is feedback for the school:The jump from beginner to intermediate was too much. Even the intermediate private lessons to the group lessons was a big jump. I am a dancer. I have been a dance instructor. And I wasn't getting the steps. The instructor...who is very nice...showed us 4 7-count sequence all at once. That was too much to remember! Then, without all of us having the hang of the steps, he went on to add another 7-count with a spin. I walked out. I wasn't having fun and I didn't want to pay for confusion. It felt like the Aunt Viv situation on Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. I'm just in Cartagena to have fun. Not compete at a high-level dance studio. My suggestion is to introduce 1 7-count sequence at a time. Observe if the students have caught on. Then add to it. Go at the pace of the students. No need to rush. I did have fun in the private lesson.

Lea Helfenstein: We took a private class for Salsa Cali style and Champeta. The teacher Natalia was excellent! We recommend it a lot.

Sandy Wolf: I took 14 hours of private lessons in 4 days! I wanted to level up my salsa and Bachata skills on my Cartagena vacation, and that's exactly what Crazy Salsa School did for me!I was so lucky and happy to have Esteban and Ruben as my own private teachers. Those 4 days were full of fun and challenges as my teachers customized each lesson to exactly what I wanted to work on and their assessment of what I needed to learn.Both of these guys encouraged me through my frustrations and were as excited as I was when I would finally get the steps we were working on. They were endlessly patient and encouraging, and incredibly skilled at unlocking the slight but important little changes to make to help me successfully do the steps.These teachers got me to do moves I never thought I could do. Not all great dancers can teach; these guys (and also Natalia, who taught a great styling lesson) do both brilliantly. And the owner, Esmeralda, was incredibly responsive and flexible with scheduling. She allowed me to schedule according to what my plans were the next day. Reasonably priced, wonderfully taught, Crazy Salsa should be your Cartagena dance home!

Heena Patel: Excellent Salsa class with a bar tour to practice afterwards. My instructor Esteban was amazing. He explained the steps well. We then went to two bars and were joined by another instructor where we practiced what we had learnt and had a few free drinks along the way.My only recommendation would be that it might be good to have a female and male instructor at the bar to help both genders practice.Would definitely recommend this Salsa Tour!

Guadalupe Maria Daldoz: Some geniuses! I took a very good class with Esteban and then I took the tour with Ruben, super friendly and safe on the tour, I went alone and I had a lot of fun.

Tue Nguyen: Is the school open?? Couldn't find the place. Not where it's supposed to be according to google maps

Joanna: I was in Cartagena for a week and I took private classes with Esteban- Salsa and Ruben- Bachata. I absolutely loved it they are very professional but at the same time we had so much fun while dancing. I’ve learnt a lot thanks to them. The easiest way to communicate with them is by WhatsApp 🤩

Ryan DuBois: Great school! They were very responsive and accommodating and I received a great lesson.A very good school! They responded quickly and the class was great.

Ji Pei: Me and my wife Had a great lessons.Instruction is very clear and we definitely enjoyed the experience

Raya Dzulynsky: Great private salsa class with Esteban. He was clear with his instructions and very patient with our questionable dance skills.

Deregnaucourt Jeremy: I had some courses there.Unfortunately, due to construction work, there was no way to have group class.There was a misunderstanding with the administrative assistant about the price. With 5 individual lessons taken, you got a 6th one free.Since I paid them individually, she declined this offer. I would have appreciated more flexibility as the credit cash machine was not functioning and I was keen to pay everything with my card.Also, this same person gave me my last course. I did not feel in confidence with her. She was judgy, having an attitude that does not favor to be relaxed.Despite that, I had Ruben, and this guy is incredible. A great teacher and a very funny guy! Go ahead with him without any concern :)

stellina Luna: Where is this place? I love to go but I can’t find it! It’s not where google maps says it is and the people around there have no idea what I am talking about! 😆Pls someone send some better directions

Manu Manu Negrete: It's a great place to learn how to dance Salsa ..they got expert teacher .

karina carrasco arredondo: Excellent place, very good teacher Rubén, breaking it 100%

alwayscoco1984: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI had 6 classes with Mauricio, he was a fantastic teacher! He made learning salsa very fun and interesting! The hour class always pass by too quickly because it's so fun! Highly recommend Crazy Salsa in Cartagena! Hope to come back and continue the lessons with Mauricio in the future :)

Diego Castillo: The best city in Cartagena

Ignacio A Fachini: Good place to get to know the salsa culture with live orchestras and professional dancers who guide and teach you. Consistent prices both at the entrance and to consume

Victor B: The admission price for two of ~$12 was not bad, esp since it included a free drink. They said the ladies would get 2for1, but did not do a good job (language barrier?) explaining that was only good for a few options. My date did not order the right option and asked for a whisky and water. We wanted basic whiskey but I later learned that they gave her a $15 shot. Since we were there for a few hours she had two, so the bill I was presented at the end was $30 for two shots. Then, when I went to pay, I was told the credit card machine did not work so I had to pay in dollars (since I did not have Columbian pesos). They gave me a really low exchange rate of 2500 to the $1, which is far below the 3000-3100 you get everywhere else.Finally, the “show” is about 10 minutes long. Then the next few hours consisted of the 5-6 dancers dancing with the audience. It is also very loud. I am not that old and this place is loud.Maybe you will like all this, but I thought I paid for a show?! After a few hours we left and never saw any “show” beyond the opening 10 minute performance.Maybe you will like all this, and can plan better (eg bring pesos, order more carefully, bring earplugs, etc) but we were disappointed. VictorB

George H: It is a good place just to enjoy the dancing show. Not recommended to eat( food had Zero quality and plate was served cold). Drinks OK not to die for it. and service cold as the food .The dancing crew very friendly and willing to teach you how to dance.

kyle chirnside: Good but the show only lasts 20 mins

Valentina RP: Excellent place. The concept is very interesting, the interaction of the dancers with the public greatly helps the atmosphere, the shows are spectacular.Highly recommended.

monica houses: y que los bailarines interactuan con el publico.No me gustó los cocktails, el de la foto es un cocktail de lulo, que sabia a aguapanela con exceso de azucar y limon (la verdad sabia horrible

Daniela Ramos: Amazing dancers, the environment is just so live, loved the drinks and the band sounded amazing

Anh Pham: Stumbled upon this place. Great atmosphere to see the dancers and dance salsa with live band. The dancers did a good job leading me to the dance floor!

Raul Henao: Spacious venue with ample dance floor. An important element of any late night spot is the sound system, and they have a great sound system. Slasa of all types and eras. If you want to get a sweat in or if you're learning to dance this is a great place in Cartagena. We did not pay cover and drink prices were comparable.

Antonio Venanzi: Good show, food and attention... the best dancers and the live band, what good voices

Dumitran Marius: Great show nice live band really worth coming once even if u don't dance Salsa.

ana e Soto: The spectacular show, the dancers, the unique atmosphere. Terrible administration, I asked for a juice offered on the menu, the very kind waitress explains that she doesn't have a blender. Later we requested a double glass.... They did not have this type of glass either. We ordered a Vallecaucana picada, on the menu they described that it had empanadas and aborrajado. The waitress brings the picada and very kindly tells me that due to technical problems they couldn't fry the empanadas or the aborrajado, for this reason she changes them for papa criolla. Neither comparison empanadas and anorrajado by potato, but the value was maintained. I returned the picada, I would never pay $80,000 for a potato picada. Finally I ended up drinking only water, I was the chosen driver.

Jody Johnsen: We had a wonderful time at 1968. Two of our party danced with the professional dancers when invited. The shows were an unexpected surprise. We would return and recommend.A con: the drinks. Unless we want a whole bottle of scotch, vodka or wine we couldn’t have a drink. Two of us had water for 3 hours. Not a great loss as it turned out. A drunk next to us attacked an older man in our party for an imagined appreciation of a married woman. We were so surprised that we failed to react at all. It was good that 2 of us were completely sober when the altercation occurred.

Dee P: Do the show only, not dinner and show. It's cheaper and you won't feel like you wasted too much money.Service sucks.Friday show. Waited to get my drink for an hour. Ordered 3 times and still took that long, while all the other tables were being serviced just fine.The show itself - is ok. I wouldn't go again but not bad to kill sometime.

Liz Saunders: NOT recommended for meals and/or big groupsWe had a reservation for ~85 people. It was a train wreck.When we arrived, we requested water for everyone. It took over an hour to get water to everyone, and when they did deliver water, they put a few bottles on the table for everyone to split, but never brought glasses with ice. Our team ended up helping the wait staff deliver the water, glasses of ice, and the drinks.Our contract included an app, an entree and a dessert. Water, drinks and appetizers took almost 2 hours to be totally delivered, and it was mediocre at best. Some of the food was still frozen in the middle, and most of it was room temperature. At the 2.5 hour mark we had to start prepping to leave with the buses, and we requested that they cancel dessert and take it off our bill. They refused saying that we booked a package and they couldn't discount any of the food, but would remove the service charge.For an hour we spoke to Marcela, who brought in Rafael, and then another woman came over and also started arguing with us. After an hour of them changing what they were going to do for us, it was no longer worth the effort so we paid for all of the food, including food that was never delivered, and 50% of the service charge.Ultimately, when we called to book a big group for dinner and a show they should have told us they are not set up to handle it. I hate that they took the incompetency of management out of the server's tips.This was a truly terrible experience.

Kyle B. Lamothe: Great place, not to be overlooked for salsa! Went on a Tuesday. Band was excellent, show was good, and the staff and dancers did a great job of bringing people onto the dance floor. Nice to dance to the live band!CORRECTION to earlier reviews, beers are only 15mil, only cocktails were 35mil

Juan Perez232: Very good place. Excellent to relax and have fun.

Elizabeth Urbano: This site really surprised me. Tremendous live orchestra, excellent service, the decoration of the site is spectacular, the menu of food and drinks very varied. By far the best place in the getsemani sector.

Yoinel Esteban Vargas Eljach: Excellent food musical atmosphere

Camilo Ramirez: Great school, I learned a lot from you. I hope I can come back soon

Valérie Roy: Thanks for everything! cool experience

Lukas Niemeier: Great school. Perfectly organized with very skilled teachers, good equipment and a lot of fun during classes. I went for 30h/week for two weeks. One in Medellin and one in Cartagena. The Different knowledge levels of the students were taken into account and the groups built fit well together. Thanks again for a great time!

Gaby Sierra: Excellent!

Laura Liszewski: Really nice experience in this school, recommend!

Tom Lovett: I cannot recommend this school enough. I am absolutely amazed that. I'm able to have spontaneous conversations with locals about a host of topics, considering I only did four weeks of classes, starting from zero. I was worried that doing well in classes wouldn't carry over to the real world, but that has not been the case at all.The classes themselves were really enjoyable. My teachers were great, the other students were great. We cracked plenty of jokes while still learning new grammar and vocabulary.The school was very helpful when it came to logistics as well. I literally enrolled on a Friday afternoon for Monday morning classes. Also, the school allowed me to print documents and received a package for me.Cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Laura Shadley: Had a wonderful experience at Centro Catalina - Cartagena. The instructors and staff were outgoing and helpful. School always flew by because it was so much fun. I was nervous to speak with people in Spanish, but I gained a lot of confidence while I was there! The school organized a lot of fun activities that allowed you to experience more of the city. They also organized a trip to Isla Grande on the weekend, which was incredible! I stayed with an awesome host family very close to the school. I can't say enough good things!

Dario Paolillo Mendoza: Super escuela, Muchas gracias, thanks a lot for the great time!The support, activities, treatment and personal are fantastic. Colombia and the School has stolen my heart and they are like a second home and like a Family. May God always bless you in Name of Jesus! Bendiciones mi gente bella

Jim C.: I had a great time a Centro Catalina. The school is located in the historic center of Cartagena, with lots of restaurants, shops and sights in a short walking distance.Teachers and staff are just awesome and made my stay a unique and special experience. Everybody is super friendly and helpful.All in all a great experience, defenitely a school that I can recommend.

lisa muzzin: This is a great place to learn or improve your Spanish. Not only are the teachers and classes of top quality but there are free events most days as well. This helps you to get to know other students and the city and to practice your spanish even more. I really enjoyed my time here. Thanks everyone!

Max N: Great Experience

Yanis GUIGNOUNE: Une école totalement a l’écoute de nos besoin et le tout avec le sourire. Une ambiance géniale du début à la fin. je recommande vivement cette école.

Loris Contro: I spent 6 FUNtastic weeks learning Spanish and everything I could about the Colombian heritage and culture at Centro Catalina, and would have spent a lot more than that if I had had more time. The teachers, facilities, customer service, extra activities and anybody who works in there with great passion: everything was excellent! I attended both schools in Medellin and Cartagena,and I strongly recommend them.

William Zarb: C'est une super école les cours sont très bien organisés , les professeurs sont géniaux. Il y a beaucoup d'activités qui sont organisés chaque jour .

Thomas Augsten: School was great fun, wonderful staff, and evening as well as weekend activities are organized. Stayed for a 1-week elementary course and would come back. Also limited number of affordable rental rooms available in a safe neighborhood.

Emeline Flores: Une super école pour apprendre l'espagnol ! Une super ambiance entre les élèves et les professeurs :)

HAMOOD AL TOQI: Great school great stuff the best experience to learn Spanish highly recommend

Caleb Solofra: Great school! Classes allowed me to dig deep into not only the language but also the culture of Medellín. I have traveled a lot, and this school is the most friendly and made me most comfortable.Here’s a list of other great things:-provided a fantastic host family-top notch classes-good location in Medellín (lots to do)-optional evening activity provided each day (like a movie, salsa classes, etc)-clean facility

Brian Eaten: Perfect Spanish school for a perfect experience. S/o to David

Danny Lee: I truly can recommend centro catalina for every person who wants to learn spanish - doesnt matter which level you have! The facilities, the staff, the teachers and the way they teach are top notch! Every day they have an activity for the afternoon and also for the weekends, like salsa class, movies, city- or graffiti-tours, etc. Also the school is in the middle of centeo historico and so you can find many restaurants, bars and shops just next to it! On this point i want to say MUCHAS GRACIAS to all of the staff, especially to David, who is an amazing "papi"!! All of you, keep going the way you do!! Mucho gusto.. jackie! ;)

Juan David Hand: It is a complete place, varied food and in different environments because you can be in an open or closed space in the restaurant. I recommend it for special occasions and very good attention.Vegetarian options: Comida árabe y platos veganos, recomiendo el puré de papa y vegetales.Parking: El lugar contiene un estacionamiento en la vía pero es de pocos espaciosDietary restrictions: Platos que puedes compartir con acompañante, platos veganos y bebidas sin azúcares.

Andrés Ramos: Very rich, I recommend, shelled buffalo cheese pizza, four cheese pizza.

Myriam Rivera: Start by saying that it offers 4 food options by bringing together the menu of 4 restaurants: M Arab cuisine, BOKA Mediterranean cuisine, MEAT steak house, MILANO ZONA 6, pizzas, hamburgers and others.From the atmosphere: Soft music and you can choose a terrace or rooms with air conditioning, all with different decoration, but in general a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy the food.About the food: This time, I decided on the M mixed plate, my first time trying Arabic food and I think I chose well. It won't be my favorite meal for sure, but the flavors were nice, the plate well served. And I accompanied it with a 🍉 watermelon mocktail. Delicious and refreshing.About the service: I chose one of the rooms with air conditioning and there was Marcial, who helped me choose my dish. Always attentive to my questions and my needs. Good attention.On the second visit, I chose the terrace and decided on the ZONA 6 sweet and sour pork, 😋 delicious but not what I expected.The service is the same, excellent attention.

Abdullah Kartal: Extremely disappointing fake Levantine food. Hummus, Banaganoush, Bread and especially the Olive Oil were horrendous.Completely! overpriced as well.Dark and Sportsbar type of atmosphere.Only good thing was the Rice with Almonds foodwise.If you want to eat real Arab food go somewhere else. What you get here is US chain restaurant level.Rather than trying to have several different cuisines in one place try to do one well.Edit: the food gave me a bad stomach instantly!

andres felipe laguado lancheros: This place is really bad, the cocktails are super expensive and the people that go are super trashy

john fernando alzate londoño: We went on a Saturday but they told us 30,000 non-consumable covers, so we didn't go in

Martinez Guerrero Maria Jose: You have 3 floors with different environments each one, the location is good and on all three floors there is a very good atmosphere

Kevin Monier: Très bon rooftop avec une super ambiance, dommage la musique est un peu forte en début de soirée

Fábim Prado: Não prometeu nada e entregou Tudo!!

Rasmus Moller: The view is good at the rooftop. They have a rather tacky cowboy theme going on and the prices is pretty high. They play electronic on the rooftop and rock on the middle floor. Decent club but we didn’t stay long

ASHLY NICOL CARANLLY SUESKUN: It is one of my favorite places. Excellent attention

Sara Lara: A nice place, until the moment of the attention of the waitress where we get a hair on our little fingers of cheese and she justifies herself by saying that because she was not informed first, but her partner collects the dishes from us and she is notified to He, after it wasn't them because they only have men in the kitchen, the attention is delayed even to bring beers.

Chris P: The dj was playing house music and there were a lot of gringos, good vibes, there is a cover fee $20,000 COP

Juan M: I don’t recommend this place UNLESS you drink something before going there, it’s expensive and the customer service sucks! Just drink something before and enjoy the party.

francisco javier martinez aranza: Beautiful visa super nice atmosphere good music variety of drinks

Cecilia Orellana: The drinks are overpriced to be tasteless and without consistency, which somewhat overshadows the good atmosphere of the place

Christian Carreño: I would give it 5 stars if the drinks were up to the standards of the place, better preparation of the drinks is needed, they look like disco drinks, excellent atmosphere and music

Carolina Guimaraes: Estudei por 4 semanas na Escola Nueva Lengua em Cartagena- Colômbia. Escola bem organizada, com professores muito bons, as turmas possuem no máximo 3 a 5 alunos o que faz que você esteja bem exposto a fala, temos aula de conversação e gramática . Todos os dias tem programação de passeios ou eventos organizados pela escola para que as turmas possam interagir e até mesmo experimentar outras formas de aprendizado ! Quero voltar para estudar novamente lá !

Lily Meng: I had a great experience at Nueva Lengua, the teachers and staff are very nice and patient. They have good methods and offer many free fun activities after school. 这个学校很不错，喜欢我的老师，教育方法和许多免费的课余活动。

Arielle Bernardin: I recently attended Nueva Lengua Cartagena Spanish School for 3 weeks and it was by far the best 3 weeks ever. The school was amazing with wonderful and knowledgeable teachers like Paula and Carolina. Paula was incredibly patient and kind, while Carolina went above and beyond with her engaging and upbeat teaching style. I miss them both dearly! They made learning so much fun that we looked forward to attending classes each day.On top of that, the weekly activities organized by the school were incredibly fun and entertaining; I always looked forward to them and especially loved how they put up a clear schedule on the wall to inform us about them. I also had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people from all around the world that I still keep in contact with. Thanks to their excellent teaching methods and engaging activities, my Spanish has improved tremendously.I would highly recommend Nueva Lengua to anyone who wants to learn or better their Spanish while having a great time. Thank you, Nueva Lengua Cartagena Spanish School, for an unforgettable experience!

Kaili Barnes: I came to Nueva Lengua to learn medical Spanish for my future care. I have only been here for 4 days and my Spanish has gotten so much better! The way they teach her is so incredible! The teachers a very supportive and you can tell they love their jobs! Everyone I have met here has said that this is one of the top programs in the world and I definitely think that is true. This program brings in so many people from so many different countries and it’s so wonderful to be around them all. My first week I have Gaby and Mayra as my teachers and they a wonderful!! I’m so excited for the next 4 weeks here!

Loes de Smet: My boyfriend and I followed the intense Spanish course for two weeks at the start of our trip to Colombia. The experience was amazing! The communication with the office went smoothely and the activities after school are fun and a great way to practice your Spanish. Our teachers (Mayra and Carolina) were really professional and you can see they have a passion for teaching and the Spanish language. They always motivated us and made learning a new language so much fun. We have learned so much in two weeks! Would definitely recommend others to go there as well.

Thomas Avedissian: Did 2 weeks of Spanish school at Nueva Lengua and it was a great learning experience! The teachers are very professional and fun (special shoutout to Mayra and Carolina) and the activities the school organizes are a great way to learn about Cartagena and Colombian culture.

Lord North YoungBoy: Nueva Lengua est une école incroyable, situé dans le centre ville de Cartagena. Je recommande vivement cette expérience. Des professeurs compétant et à l’écoute des étudiants

Jaqueline Marcelino: Foi uma ótima experiência. Os professores são excelentes, e temos a oportunidade de conhecer pessoas de todo o mundo enquanto aprendemos.

Nicole Jeandupeux: Très bonne école, j'ai fait beaucoup de progrès en 1 semaine, les cours sont bien structurés entre théorie et pratique et les profs sont très sympas et arrangeants !

sammy habes: L école offre des cours de tout niveau, j’aime leur méthode d apprentissage qui me semble être efficace. Ils sont très sympathiques.

Andressa Roque: Tive uma experiência incrível! Os professores e todos os profissionais da escola foram maravilhosos do começo ao fim. Uma oportunidade incrível de conhecer a cidade, além de conhecer pessoas novas e melhorar o Espanhol. Recomendo muito.

Honorine Desilles: J’ai adoré apprendre l’espagnol au sein de cette école ! Tout s’est très bien passé entre la qualité des professeurs, les groupes de petite taille qui permettent de progresser rapidement et la qualité des activités incluses ! Merci

Kleber Francisco da Silva: É uma escola com arquitetura charmosa, a estrutura é colonial e os professores são muito receptivos. A comida é muito gostosa e as atividades extras são muito legais. Aprendemos Espanhol o dia todo praticamente, fiquei duas semanas estudando na escola e tive muita troca cultural, já estou com saudades e vontade de voltar.

Elias: Tiden min på Nueva Lengua i Cartagena var et minne for livet. Skolen har en fantastisk lokasjon i hjertet av Cartagena. Jeg var der i 10 dager og ble utrolig godt motatt. Jeg hadde Carolina som lærer og WOW, for en evne til å lære bort. Vi avsluttet alltid med 1 time med fokus på kommunikasjon, hvor Kevin var helt strålende. Aktivitetene etter skolen var også veldig gøy, fordi du utforsket byen på måter du elles aldri ville gjort. Jeg kan virkelig anbefale denne skolen til andre reisende.

ian paul: The school is a great place to enrol. The teachers are helpful, friendly and assist you regardless of what level of Spanish you have. It’s a great place to mix with like minded travellers so it doesn’t matter if you enrol by yourself or with a travelling buddy as there are daily activities for you to interact with fellow travellers if you choose to. I was fortunate to have Kevin, Mayra, Carolina and Paola as my main teachers but also had the pleasure of having Eli the dance teacher who is packed full of energy to help me going from having 2 left feet to pulling of salsa, merengue and bachata dance routines. I’m happy to have spent my time here.

Eve B: Ich habe für zwei Wochen an der Schule Nueva Lengua einen Spanischkurs gemacht. Die Schule hat eine sehr gute Lage in Getsemani, einem bunten belebten Viertel. Meine Gastfamilie wohnt im Stadtteil Manga in 15 Minuten Fußweg von der Schule entfernt. Mir haben die beiden Wochen Unterricht sehr viel gebracht. Wir haben viel Theorie gelernt und wiederholend geübt. Dabei wurde ausschließlich Spanisch gesprochen. Die beiden Lehrerinnen Mayra und Ana haben den Unterricht sehr gut gestaltet und uns sehr viel Geduld entgegengebracht. Es war eine angenehme Atmosphäre in der Klasse. Die Gruppengröße war mit 4-5 Leuten perfekt als Intensivkurs. Das Unterrichtsmaterial war auch sehr übersichtlich. Nachmittags wurden viele verschiedene kostenlose Aktivitäten von der Schule angeboten, z.B. Kochkurse, Ausflüge in der Stadt (Burg, Museum), Kajakausflüge am Strand und in die Mangroven. Die Unterrichtszeiten von 9-13 Uhr haben sehr gut gepasst um den Nachmittag noch zu nutzen. Ich habe zusätzlich zum Spanischkurs noch einen Tanzkurs gemacht. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und ich habe in die Salsa, Bachata und Merengue gelernt. Muchas gracias!

Nico Le: Ich habe insgesamt zwei Wochen lang die Sprachschule Nueva Lengua in Cartagena besucht und war so begeistert, dass ich nach einer Woche verlängert habe. Die Schule befindet sich direkt im zentralen, coolen Stadtteil Getsemani. Ich wohnte bei einer kolumbianischen Familie 20 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Der Unterricht fand von 9-13 Uhr statt, es wurde nur spanisch gesprochen.In der Schule wurde ein leckeres preisgünstiges Mittagessen angeboten, Getränke waren frei.Selbst Lehrerin, war ich von den modernen Lehrmethoden und der Vielfalt der Aufgaben angenehm überrascht. Der Unterricht wurde professionell vorbereitet, war gut strukturiert und dem Niveau der Gruppe angepasst. Die Lehrkräfte sind sehr gut ausgebildet, motiviert und freundlich. Ich habe die Grammatik gut verstanden und große Fortschritte im Lesen, Schreiben und Verstehen von spanischen Texten gemacht. Jeden Nachmittag wurden zusätzlich kostenlose Gruppenaktivitäten angeboten, z.B. Koch- und Tanzkurse oder Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung.Ich habe eine tolle Zeit in Cartagena verbracht, das karibische Urlaubsfeeling sehr genossen und kann diese Sprachschule uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Mélissa VALSIN: J'ai énormément apprécié mon séjour de 2 semaines à l'école de Cartagena au mois de février dernier. Toute l'équipe a été très accueillante et ça a été un plaisir d'étudier au sein de Nueva lengua.Malgré ma courte durée de séjour, mes professeurs Gerald et Mayra m'ont permis de bien progresser en espagnol et en plus, les cours ont toujours été passionnants.De plus, les activités de l'école étaient très diversifiées et m'ont permis de connaître davantage la culture colombienne; j'ai d'ailleurs même pu découvrir le carnaval de Barranquilla grâce à Cynthia, organisatrice de l'évènement au sein de l'école.L'école est très bien située au coeur du magnifique quartier coloré de Getsemani, où il règne une ambiance festive en permanence.La bonne humeur générale au quotidien et le sourire de l'ensemble du personnel de cette école ont rendu mon séjour inoubliable.Aujourd'hui, mon seul regret au sujet de cette école aura été de ne pas avoir pu y rester plus longtemps.

Serafim: A Escola Nueva Lengua é incrível, certamente eu posso dizer que aqui formamos uma família, eu fui muito bem recebido pelos colegas de classe, funcionários e todos os Professores (as) são muito amáveis e solicitos, Eles (as) conhecem e dominam o idioma e me ajudaram muito na imersão ao Español. Adorei a experiência e em breve vou trazer o meu filho aqui para fazer o curso e intercâmbio. Eu recomendo a escola, amigo (a) Brasileiro venha ter uma boa experiência inesquecível na Escola Nueva Lengua. Saludos 🇧🇷🇨🇴.

Robert Parkin: Professional, supportive, excellent tutors, amazingly good value.. highly recommended!

Shawn Mahoney: Very fun spot to stay.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5 …More

Evan Huang: Rude front desk staff. Bathroom super dirty all the time, water smells weird so the entire room smells horrible 24/7. Many of the beds had extremely bloody sheets, pictures attached. The big pool in the other building was closed my whole stay. The other reviews about the absurdly loud music are correct, they play music so insanely loudly on the roof for some reason. If there was some kind of event going on I could understand, but the music is like this all of the time. It is so loud that it’s impossible to just chill by the pool or even talk to someone. No social vibe at all, filled with older people working which is kind of expected at a Selina. My room was filled with Israelis who would wake up at 9am and start yelling to eachother. Overall horrible experience, and definitely not up to the Selina quality standard.

Alex DeCapri: Avoid this Selina. I should have read the reviews before booking.I've worked at various hostels and traveled for years in hostels. I've stayed at two other Selinas that were ok. This Selina is the WORST hostel experience I've ever had in my life. Book somewhere else.---When we arrived at 6pm after a 14-hour travel day, their reservation system was down and they told us to just wait. They didn't do anything or offer anything in the meantime. We just wanted to shower, so I had them grab a few towels for us. I've worked in a couple of hostels during my travel days, and the least you can do is greet people and welcome them with some water or a dang towel when things aren't working. They were, however, super concerned about me paying, even though they couldn't get us to a room for over 1.5 hours. 😂We stayed in a Micro room with a shared bathroom. Luckily, we didn't have mold or bed bugs, like other reviews have shared... but the room was super humid and dank. No fans or circulation other than the AC, which would have been fine...But part of the city lost power and Selina's generator isn't powerful enough for the building. No lights or AC (or any way to circulate the air) from 2am-7am. I went down to reception four times during these hours to get updates and ask for a different room. There were other rooms where the elctricty was working. Ours wasn't. They refused to move us. We only were able to sleep from 7-11am, missing our included breakfast, so we had to go buy breakfast somewhere else.Half of the people at reception are always in a bad mood, stressed, and as if they can't be bothered. When I went to buy a water, the guy just shoved the card reader towards me without speaking. When the "tap" didn't work, he just shoved it closer to my face to show my it was refused. Didn't offer to try the chip. I feel like I had to guide everyone at reception to help them do their job better. Zero customer service skills, and it's not a language barrier.Upon check out, I told them we wanted a discount on the first night, as we didn't get anything we paid for. We couldn't sleep. We didn't get AC or power. We weren't allowed into our rooms until 7:30pm. Nothing went well. They refused and only offered a 10% discount after 15 minutes of conversation. Said their manager was in a meeting and they had to charge me.For $40 USD/night for a tiny, humid jail cell where the door brushes against the bed when you open it, this place is a total scam.Nobody ever responded to our WhatsApp messages either. It’s linked in the Selina app but nobody bothers to get back to you.-Bathrooms are moldy and not clean (no circulation or fans).-Toilet paper regularly ran out (shared bathroom) and nobody refilled, so I went to get some.-Music is obnoxiously loud in the lobby at early hours and all day at the pool. If you are a light sleeper, good luck.The only good thing is the food at the restaurant is actually pretty good and has some vegan options, just a bit pricy.

No: Good location and the roof top and entrance are very nice but the rooms are actual hell. Covered in mold and I woke up with bug bites. The rooms are so moldy it made my throat hurt.Rooms: 1/5|Service: 4/5|Location: 5/5 …More

David Pomar: Very nice, an incredible view, some prices are affordable, others are a bit high, especially the drinks

Catalina Lozano Torrado: La atención en el restaurante no fue la mejor, no tiene muchas opciones de platos y los costos son un poco altos relación calidad/precio.(Translated by Google

Damian Dormer: Great location near old town with rooftop pool for sunset drinks (but very expensive 30000+ for a g&t, slow). Polite & helpful security.Room (A118) was average at best. Shower alternated between too hot & too cold ever 10 seconds, didn't drain fast enough, and needed constant ventilation to avoid the whole room smelling ultra-dank. Bed on it's last legs. Loud drunk dorm neighbours downstairs between 3&4am despite quiet curfew.Reception staff are a mix of rude (young man with short hair) & fun (the others!).The included breakfast - small, dry powdery scrambled eggs.Place could be much better if they had reasonably priced drinks & good service, both rooftops people were usually scarce, probably because it's much easier to find a good experience elsewhere. After the welcome drink it's like yeah nah.Perhaps the other Selina locations are better?

Arturo Cerda: The bathroom was very dirty, the kitchen too, the floor was stained and with a paint that came off when walking, the air conditioning broke down and they couldn't fix it. I do not recommend it at all.

Blink: Very bad service, and the rooms are disgusting. First they give me one full of insects, I asked for the change, they didn't want to change it, after a long time of waiting they give me another one, drops of water were falling everywhere, in the end I ended up in the lobby again asking for a refund, supposedly the Manager was not there and they did not refund me anything. one of my worst experiences in that hotel. I paid $600 for 3 days, I had to go to another hotel.Rooms: las dos habitaciones estuvieron pesimo

COTE TOUR: Cheguei no hotel , todos os quartos com mofo, quartos mistos entre homens e mulheres, sem armario.Não tinha condição e nem segurança de ficar laAchei um outro hotel do lado e me hospedei , pois estava cansado.Detalhe é que eu ja tinha pago e agora eles falaram que não tem reembolso, mesmo eu tendo pago por 7 noites e não ter me hospedado nenhuma noite.Não fiquem la , pior pesadelo da vida de vocês

Corinne B: Very good hostel with clean facilities, beautiful pools (yes, there are 2), good food offer, fun bar and a very broad offer of tours and services like laundry. There's even a café at the back and yoga classes in the morning. Seems like they thought of everything. The showers have hot water and good pressure. Thank you for your hospitality.

Jordan George: Pros:The location. Walking distance from the clock tower. But also walking distance to a lot of the old town.The welcome drink was wonderful.There are two buildings. Building A, the building with reception, has two locations to get food from which were good and the staff were nice.The rooftop view is amazing.I appreciated the lockers in the room we got. The first room did not have them.We booked a Rosario island excursion through Selina’s activity booking system. It was a fun experience. And I believe it was cheaper as well compared to going through TripAdvisor.The coworking space was great. Wifi speeds as well as a developer. Zoom was occasionally unstable.Most of the reception staff was friendly.An aesthetically pleasing place when not paying attention to details.Cons:My partner and I had a private room with a shared bathroom. The cleaning staff cleaned the bathroom everyday but it was more like straightening up instead of actually decently cleaning. The toilet and sink for example kept the same amount of gunk on them. But when the shower drain started to clog they did help with getting it to drain properly.The coworking restroom could be cleaned a lot better. I tried to avoid touching the walls. More toilet paper could be provided as it frequently ran out. Sometimes the water wasn’t running in this restroom. The trash bin was not conducive to putting toilet paper there while using the toilet.When we first got there we were put in a room that was hard to breathe in. We felt like it had something to do with mold. We saw that the AC unit was dripping and covered in a black substance which we assumed was mold. We were thankfully moved to another room.It looked like a lot of mold was covered with paint and there was no proper ventilation to really prevent it in the bathrooms.One day we saw some staff inspecting a bed that looked like it had bed bug blood stains on them near our room so that caused some anxiety.

Remy LeBeau: Great experience a must go to visit in Cartagena. Great drinks great atmosphere great music can’t beat it.

Naima Lyn: Oh my! Biker bars have a vibe. This place was a dump. Lots of boys with low hanging pants watching the game. Deejay was blah. It picks up around 11 but looks more like a pick up bar for girls working for the American dollar.

Larry Rios: They don’t let colombianas go in and they thought I was Colombian lol

Mister Riddick: Off the hook!!!!!

Arthuro Bullock: My experience here was definitely something to remember. This club was packed on a Thursday night with predominantly beautiful women. The music, vibes, and staff were great. If you like to party, you have to stop through at least one night.

Ron Wong: We had to hit Delirium based off of recommendations and it was as official as everyone says! Good service in VIP, well priced and the DJ had the crowd hype!! Will definitely come back to Delirium for my next Cartagena trip!

Leslie A: I went here twice on my trip to Cartagena, the food is delicious! The staff is quite friendly... when I come back here I'll stop by again... thanks Delirium Gastro

Bruce W: One of the best clubs in Cartagena!!

Germán Flores: It is a very good place to hang out, the food is good and the service is the same, if you are in the area you should stop by to eat and enjoy the time.

Chuck Taylor: They will over charge you. A beer here cost 12.000 pesos, I paid 20.00 for it in the afternoon and when I went back later that night, they charged me 40.000 for a beer. The staff is on the wrong side of honest, and you can find better barsjust outside.

Sandra María Vasquez naranjo: Excellent service, very nice and impeccable place, delicious food

Adrienne H.: Cool place, hookah was smooth, a lot of indoor “workers” guys are there to buy girls basically. Lots of “passport bros”. More for guys to have fun, be prepared to make your own vibe.

Nia Khaan: as an american black woman here or veil are the best hip hop night clubs to go to. a section is like $100 with two hookahs and a bottle. dont come here looking for men because they are not there looking for americans.

Agnes Rogerio: Foi uma das melhores refeições que fizemos em Cartagena. E o preço foi ótimo pela qualidade do local, dos funcionários e da comida. Recomendo!

W Lee: A popular spot if that’s your thing. Very tight for me and always hard to get drink. The music is good, but not much room to dance. Very excellent first stop for the night tho. 💁🏿‍♂️

Vero Br: This is a club at night. Great music. Come with an opened mind and no judgement😜

Keith Knighton: Great

Lateef Colley: Man this $#!+ is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

Cassandra Rushin: Cute place to hang out if you’re in Cartagena. A lot going on around you but ya gotta respect the hustle.

GETITBOY: Great. Night life vibe
