HARO: Help A Reporter Out
During my time at Weber Shandwick I worked on a Haro request for Sonesta Hotels and Resorts Cartagena property.
Haro stands for Help a Reporter Out, and connects journalists seeking expertise to include in their content with sources who have that expertise.
Below is the final writing piece that I had sent to the reporter seeking content, highlighting the amenities of Sonesta’s Cartagena, Colombia property.
Writing Piece
Surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea sits Sonesta Hotel Cartagena, which provides guests with an upscale beachfront accommodation in the thriving city of Cartagena. While on property, guests can relax poolside in one of three pools, or visit the on-site spa, Tendal Spa Culture, for some much needed relaxation. For those looking to incorporate health and wellness into their stay, a 24-hour fitness center is available along with access to the tennis court on premises. The property includes a full-service restaurant and pool bar, and is only a quick drive away to the city’s historic downtown.
Guests staying at Sonesta Cartagena are located conveniently to venture from the property, a few itinerary recommendations can include:
A visit to Plaza San Pedro Claver, which highlights Cartagena’s robust modern art scene, cuisine, and everyday life.
Just a 30-minute boat ride away will take guests to the bright blue waters and white sand beaches of Islands of Tierra Bomba and Bocachica – this island has plenty of experiences to offer including a prosperous dining selection, bars, and fishing!
Alma, a romantic, open courtyard restaurant located in the historic Centro district of Cartagena, that includes ambient lighting and the flowing waters of an in-restaurant fountain featured with classic, upscale Colombian dishes, as featured in Vogue.
