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

The VOA Solution

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

Member Total via VOA: CA$1,361 (~US$988)
Comparable Public Retail: ~US$1,720 (about +CA$1,008 or ~+US$732 more)
Approximate Savings: ~US$732 (~43%)

Currency note: Conversions are approximate for illustration.
