Really boring no entertainment at all after 7pm is like a dessert you have to go to the room, because you can’t leave the island. The drinks menu they tell you one price and the menu says another price, they told us the menu was wrong. Is 1 hours 30 minutes away from everywhere. The water is not blue like in the pictures.

The room was lovely . Very clean , really cool outdoor shower. The guests only pool was really great and the hotel grounds were well maintained Like others mentioned , the water is a bit murky and green, not clear blue it is still calm and pretty. We loved using the free paddle boards and kayaks . We didn’t love having day trippers take over the beach at 10-2 so we went to the pool during that time . There are some people selling jet ski rides and jewelry near the beach but they mostly wait for you to approach them . Lovely views from the restaurant . They have a few vegetarian options that were tasty. We had an issue with the server and the vegetarian food that was resolved quickly and very kindly by the manager of restaurant and hotel. We loved the snorkel trip . It was so lovely. We hope in the future the guides would talk about importance of conservation and remind people not to step on the coral . Our son 11 year old loved this place and we liked it . We would return . It was overall a nice relaxing place to spend time .

Amazing get away resort. Food and drinks are outstanding. Special shoutout to Lewin, Silvio and Alvaro. Ammenities on this resort are above similar properties. Beach is not the biggest and due to its location and depending on weather, the water can get mixed up and not be as turquoise as other beaches in the area.

First of all It is NOT an all inclusive. They don’t have something as simple as a coffee maker in the room. The employees/ activity venders want to take advantage of prices. Note be careful cause we bought a package for activity excursions & paid a lot of $$$ & did not get what was promised. Also there is no shop no anything in this island & they don’t offer snacks & if you want anything & would like to leave the island to nearby town they want to charge you an arm & a leg to just take you. The place is beautiful but you must know you will be paying lots of out of pocket $$$ on a place that it’s supposed to be “all inclusive”. Will NEVER go again. If anything look into playa Blanca a nearby hotel much better than this one.

A truly wonderful few days at this gorgeous property. The boat ride to the property from Cartagena was a beautiful one hour trip. Welcome drinks and friendly staff greeted us upon arrival. Our villa overlooking the pool and sea was modern and comfortable with very quiet and effective air conditioning, that was necessary as the afternoon heat was impressive. Three meals per day are included and they were tasty, well prepared and large portions that were served by friendly staff. Note that alcohol is NOT included in the rate, so be prepared to pay extra for any cocktails or wine. The neighboring village was a bit loud at night as the street party went until the early morning hours, but it was a LOT more quiet than the street parties in Cartagena. Overall a great spot that was very well maintained, relaxing with great food and great service. We would highly recommend for a relaxing escape after busy days being a tourist in Cartagena.

Excellent stay
It was a wonderful stay from start to finish. Service was incredible, food delicious, rooms amazing. Only downside was that I didn’t think to bring bug repellent. Mosquitos were bad early am and evening so we were unable to use our balcony at all and had to get out of the pool by 5:00pm. This was in November at the end of rainy season, so it makes sense that there were mosquitos, just an oversight on my part. Hope this tidbit helps someone be better prepared.

This property was beautiful. The only thing I didn't like was not having a free option of transportation off of the island when i wanted to go explore. However the overall stay was nice and the staff were very kind. Also make sure to take bug spray the mosquitoes were very bad and I got bit up alot.

This resort is absolutely amazing. We came on a family of 7 adults vacation in late September. The staff treated us like family. No reservations for dinner necessary. Our table was set for our 4 rooms every meal. Which was a way too much food. Three course for every meal. Wow. What to know before you go. 1) they provide transportation there and back from Cartagena, however the time of arrival and departure was not disclosed on booking. Typically they pick up at noon(be there at 11) and they depart at 3:00. The thing to remember is, it’s by boat and dependent on weather conditions. We ended up having to book a private boat back because of our flights. $450 USD. 2) all inclusive includes a breakfast buffet. A 3 course lunch with choices. Usually salad or soup, followed by a choice of 3 entrees and several choices of dessert. 3)it is extremely hot and especially humid in September. September and October is a low season. Very few people there, including day trippers. There were only 5 or 6 rooms besides our family.(conservative estimate). Locals told me the resort is packed jAnuary to April. 4) when booking I understood there was a beach for hotel guests and one day trippers. There are separate pools, bar and food area for guests, but the actual beach is for both. You can access the ocean from the reserved pool area, but not the beach. Wasn’t crowded so no issues. 5) activities booked were amazing. private boats with locals
