Family Holiday in Cartagena: How VOA Found 3 Two-Bedroom Apartments (and Saved ~43%)
Dates: December 27–30, 2025
Destination: Cartagena, Colombia
Group: 11 adults + 7 children
Need: Three separate two-bedroom units for a large family gathering in Cartagena. If you’re searching for Cartagena two-bedroom apartments, we’ve got you covered.
When a member’s own points short stays and getaways showed no availability, VOA’s portfolio management stepped in. By tapping our additional inventory (outside the member’s network), we secured three 2-bedroom family apartments over peak holiday dates—at a lower total price than public retail.
The Challenge
-
Holiday travel window with fixed dates (Dec 27–30)
-
A large group needing three separate 2-bedroom units
-
Points program results showed zero options for short stays

Our concierge team widened the search beyond the member’s travel network, sourcing family-ready apartments from VOA’s own inventory.
