He and his team were a highlight of our stay. He coordinated awe-inspiring snorkeling and phytoplankton tours with an experienced local guide. The restaurant chef whipped up delicious local favorites, made to order, and the piña coladas were nice and cold! The hotel was still in the process of renovating during our stay, so I expect that...

"After booking, we repeatedly messaged the hotel for directions and only got a reply at 7:55am on check-in day, telling us the only boat left Cartagena at 8:15am. No way to make it. They then sent a contact for a 9am boat costing 90k + 30k port tax, though cheaper 70k options exist. Given boats run only until 9am and transport can cost as much as two nights’ stay, this should be clearly stated before booking – we could easily have missed the first night. At the hotel, overnight guests have no...

"Excelente"

Hotel Isla del Encanto

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel es muy bonito, de fácil acceso en vehículo, con parqueo. Te transportan en una lancha y te reciben con una bebida refrescante. Recomiendo tomar los tours privados para disfrutar al máximo la estadía. Nuestro guía Andy hizo que nuestra corta estancia valiera toda la pena del mundo! Pudimos conocer todas las islas del rosario, nadamos con plancton por la noche, hicimos snorkeling y fuimos a playas privadas. Definitivamente una de las mejores experiencias y el mejor cumpleaños que he celebrado hasta ahora. Gracias a todos por hacer de esta fecha algo tan especial e inolvidable para mi."
