Pool is nice, food was pretty good. Noise from many party yachts at Cholon is annoying. Ended up with quite a few mosquito bites from our room. They’re rustic, and have some gaps in wood for insects to enter.

This place was amazing. Beautiful views right on the beach, clean beautiful rooms with a very nice pool, second-floor lounging to view the islands, and a dock for boat tours to pick you up. Food was amazing! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner with lots of delicious choices. Best part was the service from the staff. The kitchen was friendly and made very yummy food. Sergio and Lucrecia were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. They made the beautiful amenities even better. I recommend this place to everyone and I look forward to a return visit here.

This is a jewel for those who are looking for a unique and peaceful place where you can rest, enjoy the sound of the ocean, the birds, the colors, the nature. A different kind of tourism that is not the typical full of parties and music. They welcomed us with a drink and a smile. Along our stay, Sergio, his wife, and the ladies in the kitchen, all of them were very kind and amazing people. They are part of the beauty of this place. Thank you to all staff! The rooms are like in the photos, probably even better in person (we stayed in the one with the ocean view). There is a small beach, but it is enough and it makes all sense that it is not more than that as it gives you this feeling of privacy. I LOVE the fact they respect the mangroves and haven't intruded or destroyed the nature. This has LOTS of value in the middle of all the other chains of hotels, that are full of tourism without conscience. The food is delicious although expensive (however this is common in Cartagena). As something that can be improved, I believe that for what you pay per night, a bottle of water would be good to give to the guests. Because the hotel is in a private place, there is no access to stores, grocery shops, etc. So if you get thirsty at 10 pm, you will need to buy a mini-bottle whose price is high, so at least a bottle of water per guest per day could be offered (without charges). This is the kind of stay that you want to repeat.
