Increíble
Pros:

“Una experiencia verdaderamente excepcional. Pao Pao es un paraíso único donde la simplicidad y la naturaleza se encuentran en perfecta armonía. La atención fue impecable, cálida y personalizada; la comida excelente y el entorno simplemente mágico. Despertar rodeado del sonido de las aves, el mar y la tranquilidad absoluta es algo que no se olvida. Las duchas al aire libre fueron un detalle mágico que hizo la conexión con la naturaleza aún más especial. Es el lugar perfecto para desconectarse, relajarse y vivir momentos románticos e inolvidables en medio de un entorno natural único. Sin duda, uno de los lugares más especiales del Caribe colombiano. Volveremos.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

increible e inolvidable
Pros:

la atención era excepcional, la comida exquisita, las instalaciones hermosas, pensamos que quizas podrian haber problemas normales con las aves pero nada, increible todo. Escogí pieza con vista al mar 100% recomendable

Cons:

quizas podrian haber sectores de duchas para sacarse el agua de mar o de la piscina pero nada mas

Highly recommend for a relaxing weekend away!
Pros:

The staff were brilliant! From when we stepped off the boat, they were super accommodating in everything we needed! They also gave us a lot of information about the wildlife and nature of the island. Thank you to Daniel, Pedro, Rodolfo, Elias, Eric, Fabiana, Catherine, Nelson and the entire team at Pao Pao!

Cons:

Nothing - only thing to note is that there is a strong smell of birds!

Relaxing and stunning location with mesmerising birds
Pros:

The location is stunning, the setting is amazing, the seclusion and remoteness in the evening.

Cons:

Availability of drinking water was challenge. If the hotel will argue caring for the environment then bigger bottles of water need to be available for the guest, or alternative safe drinking water should provided to overnight guest.

Pros:

Para vivir una experiencia única y para recordar, 100% recomendado!

Cons:

Sería útil tener hieleras en las reposeras para no tener que solicitar las bebidas de una en una. Tomar en cuenta que después de las 9:30pm cierra el servicio de comida y bebidas.

Pros:

Room was great, bad comfortable, beach is small (only where beach club is) and nice sunbads were great. In general idea that you are only on a tiny island. Cool expirience. Staff was veeeeery nice!

Cons:

Well few things but it is about expectations. First of all that is bird national park so you have to be aware that the other beach (sea view room) is not very usuable as it is smelly and yes they can be loud.
It is not super quite place as sea view rooms there is generator all the time which you will hear, even it did not bother us.
Poolview... well pool is literally 5 cm from balcony.

Bar & Restuarnt is very pricy and nothing superspecial but it is again i guess resort prices.

Check in is separate story, I had to spend 30 minutes in this luxuary resort to check myself in, scann documents and everything - strange practice, never saw it before.

There is literally nothing you can buy there or order so they bring you (even they are 5x day going around). First market is on isla grande and that is ok but we had to pay 100k to take this 10min ride (other similar rides are free) and the funniest thing was that manager went with us in market and waited next to cashier i guess so we dont buy somethin to eat or drink and all we bought were cigarets and tampons. Also that was not something regular as I had to negotiate 1 hr via sms to get that transportation. First I was told that we are not allowed to go anywhere. I felt like in prison somehow.

Los dos días que estuvimos
Pros:

Destacada atención del personal. Excelente desayuno y muy buenas instalaciones

Cons:

No
Me
Gusto nada nada el transporte de Cartagena a la
Isla. La lancha es un penal. Si el mar está un
Poco picado, sobre todo al regreso, es una tortura. No es que se mueva, es que salta y luego cae y golpea contra el
Mar. Sin pensar en lo peor, que es que se parta la lancha (que paso con las que van a san bernardo)la Columna no resiste los golpes que duran 50 minutos.
Es algo que tienen que replantearse y mejorar.
Si hubiera sabido que era si no creo que hubiera ido….

Pros:

Fue lo que mas nos gustó de Cartagena. El personal muy atento y amable. Hicieron de nuestra estadía una experiencia inolvidable.

Para disfrutar mejor de tu experiencia lleven zapatos de agua hay corales (piedras) en la playa y viven aves en la isla. Es una reserva natural, así que debes saber que hay pájaros y hacen popo pero el personal mantiene las áreas comunes limpias, pero si puede oler algo extraño.

La isla es el hogar de las aves y de animales marinos y nosotros somos los que estamos de paso.
