Beware the “50,000 Peso Towel Scam” at Hotel Summe

I recently stayed at Hotel Summer Frente Al Mar in Cartagena, and while the property itself may look fine, guests — especially foreigners — should be aware of a dishonest practice I encountered at checkout. Upon leaving, I was told to wait while staff “checked” the room. A young employee returned and claimed I had to pay 50,000 pesos because the towels were “dirty.” Let me be clear: towels are supposed to be dirty — that’s why hotels wash them. I had no stains, no blood, no wine, nothing unusual. Just normal use from sweat, exercise, beach sand, and daily showering. This was nothing more than a hustle aimed at taking advantage of foreigners who might not question it. This kind of behavior is unacceptable. Hotels that rely on international tourism should not be running scams on their guests. Travelers deserve honesty, not intimidation over something as absurd as “dirty towels.” My advice: do not stay at this property unless you’re prepared to deal with scams like this. And if you do, make sure you bring your own towel.

Is absolutely not like on the pictures at all, front desk acts like if they are making you a favor by letting you stay at the hotel, when you ask for some help or information the respond in a cold way and not helpful or friendly, the brakefast bar on the pictures doesn't exist, you seat down and some one comes and ask what you want for the Free breakfast and you got to wait for the food to come over, is hard to know what to eat if you are not Colombian or person because you don't know most times the name of the breads etc , nothing comes with ice on the restaurant because the only place they carry ice is on the bar by the pool and that time that I ask for s cup of ice the ice truck didn't delivered that day dear good lol any way I would not recommend this hotel is just they have a way of doing things that just doesn't cut it for me I'm no been hard on the place just the management is all wrong,,,,,the ladies from cleaning and restaurant are very nice oooooh I forgot my wife Saw a small live roach on our room 505, another thing if you order food to be delivered you got to meet the delivery person outside because they are not allowed on the reception 😕
