GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered

Everything you want to know before you message us.

How much does it cost to use Optimo Stay?+
Planning your trip is free. You only pay for the experiences you choose (boats, villas, chef, tables), and we always show you clear pricing first. No deposit to start and free cancellation, so there is no risk in reaching out.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?+
No. There is no deposit to start planning. You only confirm and pay once you are happy with the plan, and most bookings can be cancelled free of charge if your plans change.
Is Cartagena safe for travelers?+
Yes. Cartagena is one of the safest cities in Colombia for visitors, especially in the areas we work in. Our local team arranges vetted drivers, trusted venues, and is one message away the entire trip, so you are always looked after.
Do I need to speak Spanish?+
Not at all. Our team speaks English and handles everything in Spanish for you, from drivers to restaurants. You just enjoy your trip.
How fast do you reply?+
Within minutes during the day. A real local person replies on WhatsApp, never a bot, and stays available throughout your whole trip.
What kind of trips do you plan?+
Everything from family holidays and couples' getaways to bachelor and bachelorette parties and group celebrations. Boats, beach clubs, villas, private chef, nightlife, transfers, and medical tourism, all coordinated for you.
