When your family is on the bigger side, finding a hotel turns into a puzzle. Most rooms are built for two to four people, and splitting up into two rooms means paying more, juggling key cards and sleeping apart on a trip that was supposed to be about being together.
If 5 or 6 of you are heading to Cartagena, the fix is choosing the right suite from the start. In this guide we compare the three Hotel Regatta Cartagena rooms that fit larger families, so you can see which one matches your trip.
Quick answer: At Hotel Regatta Cartagena, on the beachfront in Bocagrande, three rooms fit larger families. The Suite and the Premium Suite sleep up to 5, and the Sixtuple Suite sleeps up to 6. If you’re a group of 6, or you want an ocean view with a private jacuzzi and 2 bathrooms, go with the Sixtuple Suite. If you’re 5 and the ocean view matters, pick the Premium Suite. If you’re 5 and the view isn’t a priority, the Suite does the job.
The three family rooms, side by side
| Room | Sleeps | View | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suite | Up to 5 | City and side view | Room for a family of 5 |
| Premium Suite | Up to 5 | Ocean | 2 bathrooms |
| Sixtuple Suite | Up to 6 | Ocean | 2 bathrooms and a private jacuzzi |
Suite: room for 5 without paying for the view
The Suite sleeps up to 5 and has a city and side view. It’s the pick for families who’ll spend their days out at the beach, in the Old Town or on day trips, and mostly use the room to rest.
It’s a good fit if:
- You’re a family of 5.
- An ocean view isn’t a must.
- You’d rather spend more on activities than on the room.
Premium Suite: an ocean view for families of 5
The Premium Suite sleeps up to 5, faces the ocean and has 2 bathrooms. That second bathroom changes the family routine: mornings move faster and nobody waits in line to get ready.
It’s a good fit if:
- You’re a family of 5.
- You want to wake up to the Caribbean.
- You’re traveling with teens or across generations, where a second bathroom makes a real difference.
Sixtuple Suite: the room for 6
The Sixtuple Suite is the only one of the three that sleeps up to 6. It has an ocean view, a private jacuzzi and 2 bathrooms. For a family of six, that means everyone stays together instead of splitting into two rooms.
It’s a good fit if:
- You’re a group of 6.
- You want an ocean view and a place to unwind without leaving the room.
- You’re celebrating something special, like a family birthday or anniversary.
How to choose based on your family
- Two adults and three young kids: the Suite or the Premium Suite, depending on how much the ocean view matters.
- Two adults and three teens: the Premium Suite, for the second bathroom.
- Three generations (grandparents, parents and kids), up to 6: the Sixtuple Suite, with extra space, 2 bathrooms and a jacuzzi.
- Families of 6 with kids: the Sixtuple Suite is the only option that fits everyone in one room.
If your group is bigger than six or includes several families, the logistics change. For those trips, see our guide to Cartagena for large groups.
What every room includes
Whichever suite you choose, every family gets the same perks:
- Continental breakfast included with every rate.
- Two pools, on the 11th and 18th floors, plus an exclusive sundeck on the 18th floor.
- The beach steps away, since the hotel sits on the beachfront in Bocagrande.
- Daily housekeeping included.
- Wellness Center with relaxation treatments you can book at the front desk.
For family meals, the hotel restaurant has something for everyone: pizzas to share, wings in orders of 6, 12 or 24 with sauces like BBQ or honey mustard, patacones (fried green plantains) with hogao and fresh fruit juices.

Tips for booking with a large family
- Book early. Rooms for 5 or 6 are limited and sell out first in peak season.
- Confirm your exact headcount. Maximum capacity includes both kids and adults.
- Know the policies: the first night is paid upfront to confirm, check-in is at 3 p.m. and you need to cancel at least 5 days before arrival to avoid extra charges.
- Driving in? On-site parking is limited; there’s a paid lot next to the building.
