Frequently Asked Questions

In the commercial port of the Manga district. A free shuttle links the pier to the reception building about 500 metres away, and the historic centre lies a little over three kilometres from there.
Yes, which is unusual. The gangway leads into shaded walkways where flamingos, peacocks and toucans move among ponds and small waterfalls. This gentle arrival sets the tone for one of the Caribbean's richest ports of call.
By taxi, about ten minutes from the reception building to the Torre del Reloj, the monumental clock-topped gate that guards the entrance to the historic centre. Walking is not advised: the humid heat sets in from early morning.
The walled city first, from the Torre del Reloj to Plaza Santo Domingo, then a ten-minute walk to Getsemaní. If time remains, Castillo San Felipe and Las Bóvedas round out the day. It all fits into a well-run half day.
A city founded in 1533 and UNESCO World Heritage since 1984, which has kept its ramparts, squares and wooden balconies spilling with bougainvillea. Fruit sellers in vivid dresses, horse carriages and cumbia tunes make up the soundtrack.
The old working-class suburb, about ten minutes on foot from the walls, now the artists' quarter. Hanging umbrellas and pennants colour the lanes, giant murals follow one another, and Plaza de la Trinidad remains its heart, especially late in the day.
The most imposing fortress Spain ever built in the Americas, set on its hill. Its ramps, tunnels and batteries can be explored freely, and the panorama takes in both the walled city and the modern towers of Bocagrande.
At Las Bóvedas, the 23 vaults set into former casemates within the ramparts. Look for hammocks, mountain coffee and filigree jewellery. Bargaining is normal there and done without pressure.
Lightly, with a hat and water. The humid heat sets in early and does not let up: it is what tires visitors most. Bring comfortable shoes too, as the old town's cobbles are uneven.
December to April, the dry season, when trade winds temper the heat. The rest of the year stays hot and humid, with short but heavy late-afternoon showers.
