We spent 3 night in the resort. We had absolutely wonderful time. Resort exceeded our expectations. It's small, lovely and quite place. I would call it's like family resort. The food which included in the package make feel like you eat in the top scale restaurant. The serving staff was incredible! Special THANK YOU to Juan David Bobadilla and Osman Mier. They helped us with the food and language barrier.

Victoria United States of America

Loved the idyllic location, the sea, the small beach. Staff was friendly. Room was spacious, clean, and well loomed after. Food selection was of a good quantity, variety and taste. Good dive-center.

Ioan Romania

Excellent facilities, very beautiful room, helpful staff, delicious meals, comfortable environment.

Pietro United States of America

The island was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were sparkling clean and looked amazing with great views of the ocean and pool! The all inclusive meals were out of this world everything tasted amazing and they had plenty of different options each night! The bartender at the pool was really great and friendly! The serving staff was incredible! Definitely will be coming back again!

Alexander United States of America

The staff was incredible, very accommodating to my parents, both of whom got sick (not related to the resort). I'd rate the staff an 11 if I could. Facilities are very nice. The lunches and dinners were excellent.

Phillip United States of America

The staff was amazing from beginning to end. They made sure we had what we needed. The spa is amazing and so are the pools.

Latashia United States of America

the staff were attentive and helpful- we needed to transfer to isla grande (instead of going back to Cartagena) and the price of the boat is 200000 COP for couple, the hotel staff (and especially Junior) helped us and let us join the snorkeling trip which in the end of it dropped us at our next hotel. lunch&dinner were really good. the room was very clean, great shower.

Anna Israel
