The food was good but the waiting takes way too long.
The nearest beach is dirty all the time and we had to walk at least 30 minutes to get to playa Libre. Thankfully we brought our own drinks because everything is fairly expensive so we got to save up a little.
Staff were super nice despite everything but they had LOUD music until late night very inconsiderate because you’re trying to relax/sleep.
The wifi is pretty decent and it worked only in the common areas, there was not wifi in our room…
Wouldn’t come back.
Points positifs : cadre reposant, nourriture variée, plutôt propre, activités (snorkelling, kayak)
Points négatifs : très isolé, manque de communication, personnel pas hyper sympa, pas de climatisation, énormément de moustiques (aucun moyen de prévention), piscine sympa mais 1 mètre de profondeur, plage marronatre avec beaucoup de racines de mangrove, non exploitable malheureusement. Tout est très long au moins 20 min d’attente pour une limonade, et quand on demande où ils en sont après > 30min pour le repas ils répondent « tranquilo »
Faut être conscient en venant ici qu’on sera isolé avec pour seul moyen de se baigner dans la mer : aller dans les plages privées d’autres hotels.
Prices for food and drinks are on the higher side for Colombia. The food is not particularly good, simple as that. The kitchen seems very understaffed since we waited very long for all our meals and our orders were mixed up more than once. We waited more than an hour for a very simple breakfast…..
We stayed only for one night, therefore didn’t do any activities. To swim in the ocean you will have to either use the small beach at the site, which is dirty and not pretty. Otherwise you can take a walk to nicer beaches across the island. When doing that, you will see that the rest of the island is quite dirty, full of trash and many stray dogs, not as picturesque as on all those pictures. The little village on the islands has some places to eat and a supermarket. But this has all low standard.
In general, if you are out for some backpacking adventures and don’t care about quality this might be your place (still a bit expensive). If you want some comfort, don’t come here…
Pero eso sí, NO VAYAN CON MARY CARTAGENA TRAVEL como recomiendan. El viaje nos llevó 4h en lugar de 1h, completamente empapados todo el rato con el barco dando tumbos, todo el equipaje se mojo entero, nos cobraron distinto al ir que alvovler, tuvimos que parar en mitad del trayecto a echar gasolina porque no tenían
..TERRIBLE, y aún encima al llegar la atención fue pésima, ni devolución del importe ni disculpas, dijeron que culpa nuestra las perddias por no proteger el equipaje.
The room is ok. Definitely needs a deep clean and dusting and to replace the holes in the mosquito nets.
The staff was lovely from reception to the bar staff and the restaurant food was tasty.
Hay gran variedad de hospedaje, desde dormitorios compartidos, hasta habitaciones privadas.
La playa del hostal no es la mejor, pero cerca hay unas muy bonitas.
Háganse el favor de probar el ceviche sriracha y la posta cartagenera. ????
The information was a list of extra activities (that you have to pay extra for). I came to an island to relax and instead I had wait to be suddenly surrounded by a group of 20people so I didn't stay and then the leader of the group whom I didn't know and never spoke to came and reproached me for not listening to him. I'm holidays I wish to be free and not attend a 40mins capitalist lecture and I got shamed for that. It's not professional.
We walked / ran the entire island and this spot seems to be pretty solid when compared to the other resorts. Location is a four star as it’s about a 40 minute walk to the nice, private beach on the island (Gente de Mar), but that’s a good chance to see the environment of the island.
Le positif : jolies piscines, chambres privées plutôt sympa et maisons colorées stylées.
Le négatif : le personnel de l'accueil n'est vraiment pas sympa, la plage de l'hôtel est minable, la propreté de la salle de bain laisse à désirer, petit déjeuner payant et longue attente (arrivés à l'ouverture pourtant)
Comme le disait un autre avis, moyenne d'âge : 30 ans.
Globalement, nous avons été très déçus par l'ile. Pas propre, tout est cher, plages privatisées...
Especial thanks to Elizabeth who helped me with the booking, Julian who took great care of us and Bryan who was our tour guide during all the activities!
I would recommend to all my friends this paradise!
