Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we absolutely adore your little ones, we kindly ask that the rooftop pool party be an adults-only event. We hope this gives everyone a chance to relax, unwind, and celebrate with us in a more grown-up setting. Children of all ages are warmly welcome to join us for the catamaran cruise and on the wedding day- we can’t wait to celebrate with your whole family then!

Question

What is the best way to communicate while in Cartagena?

Answer

Question

What wedding events will I need to arrange transport for/ get an Uber?

Answer

The catamaran welcome party's marina is within walking distance of Cartagena's walled city. We recommend checking the walking distance from your specific accommodation, but Uber is readily available if you prefer not to walk. For the adults-only pool party at OSH Hotel Ajeno's rooftop on Saturday, you'll likely need transportation unless you're staying in Getsemaní. Plan for about a 10-minute drive, and you can easily order an Uber or arrange transport through your hotel or Airbnb. The Sofitel Santa Clara is conveniently located within the walled city and is walkable from most hotels and accommodations in the area, unless you're staying outside the city center.
