Nice setting for short stay
Pros:

Nice setting, worth getting a cabana. Limited to only food and drink from the hotel, surrounding area not suitable for exploring. Set menu for dinner is OK. Breakfast is good. Shared use of some facilities with staff detracts from the specialness of the resort.

Lovely resort, easy to get to, great for a short stay.
Pros:

Beautiful small and personal resort. Easy to get to from Carthagena, lovely family room, great food and nice staff. Good pool. Lots of potential.

Cons:

The resort is fantastic, but it seems to struggle with the balance between hotel and place for day guests. When we arrived on Friday at 3pm, the music was pretty loud. On Saturday, there were around 50 day guests and a DJ. Luckily the staff had informed us in advance and booked one of the cabanas near the beach for us, so we didn’t need to be in the crowd. The other days it was quieter and more laid back.

The beach is nice, but apart from that there is not much to do. I tried the outdoor gym but it was infested with mosquitos. The yoga mats in the room are nice, but there were no lessons, nor were there movie nights as advertised on the website. We made an effort to visit the village, but would not recommend it, since there are a lot of street dogs and run down houses.
I thinks the resort can do a bit more with what they have.

If you’re looking for a island, stay close to Cartagena this is your destination
Pros:

Everything was lovely through the staff the location in the room the cocktails and the food

Cons:

It’s not that I didn’t like but the evening dinners has no choice of what we could eat other than dietary preferences some evenings we preferred to have been able to choose off an à la carte menu however the food that they did serve was very yummy

Beautiful (but pricey)
Pros:

Beautiful hotel, clean and very comfortable. Beach/pool area and the bungalow are absolutely gorgeous. Good drinks and food.

Cons:

We felt like there were hidden costs in the end. Make sure you check small letters, whether the price is communicated in dollars or colombian pesos and if some services that you would assume are free of charge are actually an extra cost.

Nice but wouldn't go back
Pros:

The location is nice. Nice room. Food is nice as well. In the morning it is a relaxed atmosphere without loud music. You can have a relaxed breakfast and swim in the pool until 11.00. After 18.00 it is also very nice when all the day guests leave. They make something special of dinner with a romantic scene and nice food. Staff is friendly

Cons:

From 11.00-18.00 day guests come. Music is turned very loud, also during the week. You can't read a book because of the sound. It would be possible to do if you return to your own cabin, but I think you come here as well to enjoy the pool. Prices are very high. Without breakfast 300 euros for one night is to much for what you get, compared with other very nice hotels in Colombia or Europe (they say it is so expensive because the staff gets payed better, which is great, but still it is not a good price quality ratio). They offer water in the room in a bottle. My husband and I both got diarrhea. I don't know if it is from the water, but it was not nice. After our stay we received the bill with some mistakes in it, which was solved later.

Nice place with excellent and attentive staff
Pros:

A lovely place in a nice setting. We had a bungalow which was great with its own outdoor area and a plunge pool.

The staff are great both friendly and helpful.

They have a really useful WhatsApp system for ordering room service which works well.

Cons:

A couple of points which are not necessarily criticism but I feel should be pointed out.

A lot of day visitors come to the hotel which means the pool area can be crowded. That said guests are asked in advance where they would like to reserve a bed or cabana.

Evening meals are a set menu with no choice. The hotel will offer an alternative if you ask in advance but you don’t what’s on the menu until you arrive for dinner.
