My partner and I LOVED our stay at Blue Apple -- so much so, the second we left we were already scheming about when/how to return. Every detail is flawless: the staff, the rooms (the pics don't do justice to how nice the rooms are), the food, the drinks, the beach, everything. It's a 25-minute boat ride to get there (which was really fun by itself), but it feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. During the day (from about 11:30 until 4:30), there's definitely more of a party scene, which was great for day drinking and people-watching, but the resort gets very quiet again at night. The beachside cabanas are ideal for a little more privacy, away from the liveliness of the pool. We stayed in the room called "Papaya" attached to the main house and slept amazingly well. We also took advantage of the yoga classes they offered while we were there (thanks to a visiting yoga instructor), which were great - they have mats and blocks in every room available for use. The food/drinks deserve a special call-out; we were surprised to find new, delicious additions at every mealtime, so we never felt tired of the offerings. Oh - and the massages!! I got one 2/3 days we were there. Could life get any better? Thanks for a beautiful time, Blue Apple.

I enjoyed my stay so much,
I had an issue with my room where a mechanical noise could not let me sleep the first night. The staff has been attentive and i have been upgraded to another room.
The food is good.
The view on Cartagena and the sunsets are breathtaking.
I loved the zen atmosphere, the free yoga and meditation, the fire ceremony every day at 6.30
They would cater for guest’s trips to the city by providing a free boat ride.
The only down side is that there is nothing happening at night on the island in and around the property, but it was fine for me because I was looking for sun and rest ans Namaste delivered on that front.
I will definitely go back on my next visit to Cartagena.

Tierra Bomba was a short 10-minute boat ride from Cartegena.
Tierra Bomba was a short 10-minute boat ride from Cartegena. It was situated on a long private beach with plenty of daybeds to choose from. The rooms were spacious and close to the pool/beach/restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious. On our final night, we upgraded to the Private Villa with a Private pool and it was WELL WORTH IT! The private courtyard was beautiful and the pool was refreshing. The room was huge, comfortable and came with an outdoor bathroom.

This island is about a 35 minute boat taxi from Cartagena.
This island is about a 35 minute boat taxi from Cartagena. We rode back seats on a motorcycle tour through Boca Chica. It was a different world touring a local fishing village. Everyone was friendly. It's a place that may experience growth due to it's location and amenities.

Tierra Bomba is a piece of heaven on earth.
Tierra Bomba is a piece of heaven on earth. Great for relaxing and partying. Staff is hospitable. Luis & Hamilton went above and beyond. Facilities were perfect to my taste. Rooms decent size, very clean and seemed they keep them up with a refresh coat of paint every so often.
Nice hotel on Tierra Bomba. My room was absolutely great: spacious, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, all very clean, surrounded by big trees which gives impression of being far away in the nature. The beach is nice, sandy, rather long, not overcrowded, with a nice view on Cartagena. The staff is efficient. Daniel was very helpful, he called my next hosts and helped me solve some issues. Food was very good (dinner) in a nice open area, breakfast was ok. Transport to and from the island was very well organised.
Everything! An ideal place to rewind! A private oasis, with large and beautiful private beach, quiet and comfortable cabins and apartments, good food and excellent service! Even dogs, cats, ducks and geese living in harmony! A romantic place, with mostly adults, with plenty of space for everyone! We’re already contemplating visiting this wonderful Hotel Fênix again in a few months! Highly recommended, especially for adult couples!
Convenient location but the beach is dirty. The hotel was very disorganized and we wasted a lot of time trying to fix problems with the booking. good takes very long from when you order to when they bring the food so you need to be patient! what we really liked and enjoyed was the activities and experience available to guests. that was excellent and great!! Yoga, fire ceremony very special!
- Facilities are great (hammocks, chairs, etc)
- Bungalows are spacious and comfortable, the outside bathtub is a nice feature
- Personnel is friendly
- Nice views of Boca Grande from the hotel and its beach
- Worth noting that you can enjoy the hotel facilities by booking a day trip from Boca Grande without actually staying at the hotel at night.
- Shower water is hot.
Perfect getaway for young family living up the full on beach club life but appreciating tranquility and the pool to ourselves either side of the day when the revellers return to Cartagena. Amazing music, food and hospitality.
We have fallen in love with this island, the hotel and the staff.
One day we will return.
Go for the day, go for a whole week, just go!....
The hotel is close to Cartagena and the transportation being included is a plus. The service was excellent and the decoration was on point. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations every time. Capo made sure our stay was unforgettable, he was very polite and friendly, attentive to any requests. Lovely stay with the family
Perfect to spend relaxing days at the beach, far from the hassle of Cartagena. The rooms are comfortable and clean.
All the employees were genuinely nice and wanted to make our stay comfortable.
The music during the day and night was awesome.
The hotel is pet friendly and have beautiful in-house dogs and cats
It was amazing staying here, the Beach is just in front of the Hotel, kind of private beach, nice view and Sunset, Safe and clean beach, the Staff was very helpfull and friendly, we will stay here again 100% if we have the chance to back to Cartagena La Fantastica🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
This hotel is thought in every single details.
From the very first second of arrival you feel at home!
The kindness and the great service level of all the staff is unique.
A special THANKS to JOHN, a shining gem, who made our stay incredible.
One of the better places to stay in Tierra Bomba. Nice pool, friendly people and a restaurant. Pool is excluded from really loud music (which is common for all places in Tierra Bomba as it is a party Island during the day for local people)
My girlfriend had a medical emergency to do with her pregnancy and the staff there were so helpful and swift to respond. They arranged a boat to the hopital and for us to stay in their sister hotel. Truely amazing
The food - the drinks - daily happy hour - and especially the excellent A/C in our room!
The staff was wonderful - helpful and engaging! I have already recommended this hotel to a couple of friends!
Being on the closest island to Cartagena was most convenient, but the food was underwhelming and the hotel was like being in an abandoned school ground.
