Food, in particular breakfast was fantastic, staff were wonderful & friendly throughout. We stayed in a cottage with a sea view and pool - amazing. We had a car pick us up at the airport that we arranged ourselves online ahead of time. Easy enough to reach the hotel with the bridge that connect Baru to the mainland. Yes, a little bumpy on the roads here and there but the hotel is located off the beaten track so it makes sense there wouldn't be perfect roads to get there.

Claudio

The views and facilities are 5 star. The various choice in rooms to fit your budget and mood make the place by far the place to stay in Baru. We chose the oceanfront room with affinity pool! AMAZING! I have been to Baru 3 times previously. The staff goes out of their way to accomodate your every need and with a smile on their faces. The manager Carlos was a class act and even arranged a boat to take my friends who were staying at another hotel in Baru to and from dinner at Las Islas. They also provide personal bikes for every guest to travel this vast island oasis or will glady pick you up instead in one of their many golf carts if you ren’t up for the excercise. A must stay in Baru

The quality of services is not adeguate for what you pay. The dinning room looks like a refectory, they should make it more welcoming and less dispersive. They should improve the food offer, and refresh the buffet more often, especially for those having dinner after 9.00pm.
The hotel itself is wonderful, the bungalows over the three are amazing. Staff is very nice, especially at the spa.

Evening Housekeeping not up to expected standards. It is a big property and although bicycles are provided to move around, sometimes you need a buggy, which often took a long time to show up, or did not show up at all. The room blinds were deficient. In room lighting was poor. The boat transfer from and to Cartagena can be a bit rough and guests are not informed. The Bungalow pools are filled with sea water, which was murky and the covered with tree leaves.

“Beautiful hotel with lousy service.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 4 nights
1) While the staff is personally nice, the Service is really shoddy. The Hotel would benefit from having a General Manager from Switzerland, Germany, France or Austria who really knows how to run a five star Hotel. 2) We changed rooms once from a treetop villa to a seashore Bungalow which was planned; the second room was very dirty (dust on the shelves, sandy footprints on the Patio, used glasses) and this was not rectified when we complained. The ice machine didn't work and we requested help from maintenance which never came. The pipes of the rain shower had holes so that the entire bathroom got covered with spray; when we complained, the maintenance people simply put scotch tape around it. 3) The evening restaurant is very uncosy and looks more like an airport lounge. The menue is rather limited and stayed the same during our entire stay. The quality of the food is ok but it is overpriced. On New Year's Eve we were forced to take the buffet which was very costly (about USD 250 per Person) and really bad - the meat was complely cold. 4) There are different restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The tables used are transported every day from the breakfast resto to the dinner resto and back. That means that if you have a late breakfast, they are moving out the tables from the breakfast resto while you eat, and at midnight there is a huge racket when the tables are brought back (our second room was close to the breakfast resto). 5) Staff are apparently allowed to use the guest toilets so that you can see that some don't wash their hands after using the toilets. 6) The site is very spread out so that every room has two bicycles which are marked with the room number which is quite sensible. It doesn't help, however, if a staff member takes one of your bicycles and scoots off with it despite loud protests and is one of the bycicles simply disappears.
The location and the architecture of the bungalows are quite nice. The sea is beautiful.

“5 star eco paradise”
- • Leisure trip

Minor teething problems since hotel is relatively new (1 1/2 years)
We had Ocean Bungalow with pool - beautifully and thoughtfully appointed. Superb bathroom with Japanese toilet and all amenities you could require including bottle of insect repellent. Hammock, Nespresso machine (see 'teething'), ice machine (a first, super impressed!), plenty bottles of water, mini-bar, fruit bowl, air cooling (air-con, ceiling fan, Dyson fan), video screen (in room)/intercom door bell, also a battery portable nightlight. Outside there is also a bell that goes direct to Reception and of course 2 bikes with the number and name of your bungalow -ours was Tres Mosqueteros, charming! Lovely infinity pool, comfortable sun loungers and table/chairs. Night turndown service with extra water bottles & chocolate. Cannot comment on the Treehouse Bungalows but I will say we never saw anyone use their 'hang out' area at the base, not very private. Food was excellent throughout hotel. It is lovely how each meal is served in different restaurant. Breakfast venue was perfection on the water, view, breeze, superb, everything you could possibly wish for to eat and all excellent quality served by smiling friendly helpful staff. Yes, there is only one restaurant for dinner however the menu offers plenty of excellent choice. Beach is narrow but perfect, very comfortable sun loungers, plenty of shade or sun. Complimentary use of canoes/ boards.

“An Unforgettable Experience”

Nothing
I am an American living in Cartagena and took my wife to Hotel Las Islas for our Anniversary, and ended up enjoying one of the best hotel experiences of our lives. The setting is incredible, with perfect Caribbean water and the natural beauty of the environment taking center stage. The design and architecture of the hotel itself are incredible, with 54 individual suites seamlessly blending into the cliff sides and trees. We had a room on the water with a private terrace and infinity pool that cascades into the sea. The rooms are extremely private, allowing you to be outdoors and really enjoy the room and spectacular views. There are bikes with every room and just biking around the extensive property is an experience. We just constantly said, "Wow..." There are birds, iguanas, crabs, and schools of fish jumping in the sea. Diving is available, though we just did snorkeling. There are tons of activities and we went fishing, took a boat tour to a nearby island, and went to see the phosphorescent plankton at night (incredible). The service and level of amenities are top level. The staff were impeccable at every level and it is a big credit to the owners that 85% of employees local residents, extremely well trained and excellent in execution. We feel lucky to live nearby, and Hotel Las Islas is certainly our new go-to spot for weekend getaways to unplug and enjoy.

“Beautiful but still overpriced”

Although the staff here is mostly extremely friendly, there are one or two exceptions. One guy from the reception became rude because we booked through booking (which offered the better price). To sum it up, there are some other hotels on the islands around that cost less but are on the same level. We enjoyed our stay but I still believe that the place is overpriced.
The staff of the restaurant did an excellent job. José, the waiter, was superfriendly, competent and absolutely lovely. Hotel Las Islas boasts a unique landscape and view. The breakfast offers a wide range of different food. There are a lot of different activities to do here, so you definitely don‘t get bored. We tried two different rooms and recommend the one with the private pool. All in all, we had a great stay.
