Boasting a splendid beachfront location inside Rosario Islands National Park, the hotel is a 1-hour boat trip from Cartagena.
“The hotel staff were amazing from start to finish. We arrived early by private boat and they let us check in straight away. A lot of reviews focus on the day trippers spoiling there time, but we did not experience this at all. It’s like they were in another hotel as there are so many areas for guests only. The pool and beach areas are the best I’ve been to. Pool area is massive and the sea is very clean. Also the security they have on patrol make this an extremely safe place. The food is fresh and to a very high standard. Some might find selection a bit limited but we were fine with it. We only use their transfer service back to Cartagena but it was flawless and included unlike most other hotels. Loved our stay and could recommend it more highly!”

The guys at the front desk are really helpful and the girls at the bar are really kind. The owner helped me while I was trying to buy some things from a street vendor, so we felt at ease all the time. If you're looking for an upscale option for a low price, this is the place.”
