This was the highlight of our trip! It is a paradise island and we loved it! Make sure you negotiate lots if you are buying jewellery. Staff are friendly and helpful!
It's a two hour speedboat ride, but this place is magical. It's far enough from Cartagena to not have touts. Facilities are rustic, but the locals are down to earth, and the beach is white and soft, the water calm.
We spent two nights here and wish we could have stayed four. It is one of the most beautiful places I have been and glad we decided to make this side trip last minute. Staff is very friendly, there are a decent amount of activities, and the food is good. The only negative thing I would say is that the dinners are not that great. I loved the options for breakfast and lunch but not the dinners. Nonetheless, it was extremely beautiful and a very relaxing time there. The water is beautiful and you get white sanded beaches (which you unfortunately do not get in Cartagena).
Nicest place I've ever been to in my 13 years. The service was great even though there weren't enough people to be working the place.The water was crystal clear. beautiful Fish swim in the water with you at the beach and it is so relaxing. definitely get the massage as much as possible, it is cheap, and feels great, and the sound of the waves crashing under you, the view of the crystal blue water is great. Bring sweatshirts though, the island gets VERY windy at night starting at like four and progressively getting worse. but i don't have many complaints. simply beautiful and relaxing.
visit hotel decameron and went fishing with locals. Great wahoo action and also cheap food. Believe there is a place "el uruguayo" that we ate at...recommended.
It is a very uniqueisland resort, it privately owned and maintained. You need to take a boat ride from Cartagena to get to it. It is highly recommended for honey mooners and couples. DO NOT TAKE CHILDREN WITH YOU ON THIS VACATION!The food is really good, the service is good too. The night shows could be better, but hey...The rooms are very nicely decorated and private.The beaches have white fine sand and the waters are crystal clear. You can also take a walk tour to near by places and take lost of cool pictures.Deecember is high season and it is hard to get a reservation so make them as early as possible.
this is a little piece of hidden paradise in Colombia.The service is excellent, even beyond that.The food is quite good.The place is just a paradise: private beach, snorkeling, volley ball, football field...Do not hesitate, just go.We just loved everything there!
Two days in paradise. Beautiful beach and reefs full of wonderful fish. Turtles released into the sea the day we spent there. Basic food and accomodation but doesnt detract from the lovely setting and attentive staff. Worth the 2 hour boat ride there and back. Even has internet. Amazing and almost your own desert island.
Don't miss this place. Truly a sight to see. The fort is massive and beautiful. There are also some small local shops close by that you can walk around for some cultural experience.
It wasa beautiful and relaxing day. I loved the lunch.
