This place was amazing. Beautiful views right on the beach, clean beautiful rooms with a very nice pool, second floor lounging to view the islands and a dock for boat tours to pick you up. Food was amazing! Breakfast lunch and dinner with lots of delicious choices. Best part was the service from the staff. Kitchen was friendly and made very yummy food. Sergio and Lecrecia were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. They made the beautiful amenities even better. I recommend this place to everyone and I look forward to a return visit here.

Pool is nice, food was pretty good. Noise from many party yachts at Cholon is annoying. Ended up with quite a few mosquito bites from our room. They’re rustic, and have some gaps in wood for insects to enter.

This is a jewel for those who are looking for a unique and peaceful place were you can rest, enjoy the sound of the ocean, the birds, the colors, the nature. A different kind of tourism that is not the typical full of parties and music. They welcomed us with a drink and a smile. Along our stay Sergio, his wife and the ladies in the kitchen, all of them were very kind and amazing people. They are part of the beauty of this place. Thank you to all staff! The rooms are like in the photos, probably even better in person (we stayed at the one with the ocean view). There is a small beach, but it is enough and it makes all sense that is not more than that as it gives you this feeling of privacy. I LOVE the fact they respect the mangles and haven't being intruse or destroyed the nature. This has LOTS of value in the middle of all the other chains of hotels, that are full of truism without conscious. The food is delicious although expensive (however this is common in Cartagena). As something that can be improved, I believe that for what you pay per night, a bottle of water would be good to give to the guests. Because the hotel is in a private place, there is no access to stores, grocery shops, etc. So if you get thirsty at 10pm, you will need to buy a mini-bottle whose price is elevate, so at least a bottle of water per guest per day could be offered (without charges). This is that kind of stay that you want to repeat.

It would’ve been great if the place actually exist! I followed the directions into an ocean. There was nothing but bricks on a dirt road with half built tarp structure buildings with no windows or roofsand three people tried to rob me. There was no access to go any further so therefore, the place does not exist. I want a refund.

Nice place set in jungle vibe. Great pool and friendly accomodating staff. Staff will take u to whatever beach in the vicinity u want. Beaches are nice however be warned some hawkers at some of the beaches (blue beach) can be very aggressive and distasteful. Bring money to the beaches!

Relaxing time away from it all!

We had a very relaxing time at playa Scondida. We are Canadian and spoke little Spanish, so it was difficult to communicate at times with hotel staff, but they were very accommodating and overall helpful! We enjoyed the food on-site, the hospitality, and the nature. The owners organized the ride to the ecolodge via car and helped us arrange the boat back to Cartagena. It was very helpful and helped us relax and just enjoy the surroundings.

Isla Baru is an amazing area - and the thoughtful & friendly staff here made us feel at home. It's a special place. Would highly recommend the excursions on offer to Mangroves (which is really a tour of the local area of the island in general ie more than just mangroves & rosario. On Saturdays the bar/club on the other side of the bay attracts party boats, which are loud. So when we revisit we will probably avoid saturdays. mon-sundays is idylllic. We had a wonderful time. Thanks !

A really cute place, with plenty of hammocks and well appointed rooms. Lounging in the shade on the dock with views of the water and islands was particularly relaxing. Only slight inconvenience was the heat and humidity, which brought a lot of mosquitos. Even with strong bug spray (provided by hotel) we still got bites.
