Great service. Staff very helpful, friendly and professional. Food is awesome, delicious. Entertainment options are great. Beaches are fantastic. Only issues is the humidity in some areas of the building, access to apartments have no ramps for people with walking problems, and staff should stop people in the restaurant to feed the native mapaches. Overall, we enjoyed the stay.

This is an excellent peninsula/island resort that is extremely beautiful. The people are outstandingly cordial and go the extra mile. If you want a nice beautiful vacation in Colombia, i highly recommend. The trip from Cartegena to Baru is a little rough once you croos the bridge to Baru, and the internet can be spotty at times. But that is expected of a remote resort as such. But once you are there, i promise you will love it.

The place is beautiful, nice private beach area, calm water. Lots of wild life, staff is great and willing to help. It was mostly local tourism the days we were there. The place is very expansive, lots of walking and no elevators, wouldn't work for older people or parents with small children on strollers. Cartagena traffic is crazy, don't even think about renting a car. The last 6 km are on a dirt road which turns really bad when it rains. The entertainment team is very busy, lots of activities.

My travel to this hotel was in April 2023. Standard room was ok until raccoon’s got into the air duct above our room and started to mate at 5am. The reception area was nice enough to switch our room but given that we were only there for 2 nights, one night was very uncomfortable. The food is below poor average. The reviews I read prior to booking are exactly correct. But I decided to give them a chance. I have stayed in all inclusive resorts before but this does not stand a chance. Also note, The beach area is rocky and small. Wouldn’t recommend. Pay extra and stay at Sofitel on the opposite side which I also stayed in March 2023. You will love it. Now, they really know cuisine and impeccable service!

They try…and we made it fun…for us since we were there…but would not go back or recommend! Rough to get to from Cartagena….thugs on road banging your car so you give them money. Horrendous two mile dirt, muddy, bumpy road from main road to get to resort. Staff tried, nice and clean but you have to rush down to beach by 7am to save one of the limited beach chairs.
