Loved everyone from the moment of planning my trip for transportation plus all the staff that attended to me ! The room was beyond amazing !! All accommodation with the usable items at hotel was great take away . Good was delicious
“We had an amazing family stay! Our downstairs beach-side bungalow was the perfect spot — steps from the sand with gorgeous views. The staff went above and beyond the whole trip, always friendly and quick to help with anything we needed. The food was fantastic too, with great variety and quality for every meal. Such a relaxing, well-run property — we’ll definitely be back!”
To start … pulling up to Hotel Del Sol was incredible!! The staff was helpful getting off of the boat. Check in was a breeze. Room was very clean! Beach is unbelievable! Dive off the dock and enjoy the ocean. What I really enjoyed was the gated swim area! Food is unreal, was very surprised on how delicious the food was, given where we were. Food in Colombia was off the chart GREAT! We are coming back in a couple months. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who wants PARADISE!!!
Cheers to the owner and staff. 🤌❤️
Perfect slice of paradise. It was clean, quiet, beautiful. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious. The beach is small but you can jump off the dock into the ocean and can also walk/bike to other beaches. RT boat transfer was easy! Perfect for the kids, 5 and 7, as they were able to roam freely and safely from playground to lobby to lodging etc.
Really enjoyed our stay at this quaint little island getaway. At first we thought it was going to be a slow paced relaxing few days, which it can be, but the addition of day passes, guests and excursions made it even more enjoyable. The best part is the staff and owner however. The latter is on property with his dogs and the entire staff was extremely helpful even working through our limited knowledge of Spanish. DYLAN at the front desk took care of anything and everything we needed. Great change of pace. Thank you!!
Overall, my stay at Hotel Isla del Sol in the Rosario Islands, Colombia was excellent. I truly enjoyed my time there—the setting is beautiful, the atmosphere relaxing, and it’s an ideal place to unwind.
The included breakfast was good, offering a satisfying start to each day, and the staff were especially friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
If there’s one area for improvement, it would be the coffee. Introducing a commercial manual espresso machine at the bar would really elevate the service and overall guest experience.
All in all, a wonderful stay that I would happily recommend.
Staying at Isla Del Sol was the highlight of our trip to Cartagena. The location was safe, peaceful, family/kid friendly, and perfect to feel immersed in the island’s life. The staff was amazing and the food delicious.
This hotel is amazing! We stayed a week and everything was perfect. The staff is absolutely professional and courteous. The food is so great and the rooms always clean. I really recommend this hotel for everyone. The bar and their people really great, a lot of water activities to do.
The hotel is very nice, and the arrival by boat is very comfortable, a little expensive in my opinion and they charge you for the suitcases, which should be included in the ticket that you buy for transport because you do not take away space from any passenger, the food and cocktails are also expensive for what they serve, apart from these two things, it is worth visiting it !!

Disliked: Amenities
The food was awful, but the staff was amazing. Best massage I’ve ever had in my life. Beautiful resort but nothing to do besides the resort.
Lovely quiet hotel on the Rosario island. Food was really good, portion sizes were fine! Drinks (beer was cheap) seen a few people say they’re expensive but 7000cop is cheap for Cartagena. Room was really nice air con was perfect. Staff were really friendly and a massive plus point.
Welcome was very warm, customers service very professional, foods was perfect for me and the place just like paradise and very clean. I subjected to have available citrus water for the guests and emergency mineral water o any that helps stomach problems.
Great services and friendly staff. Beach is beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking to the bar on the reef and snorkel around. Food is just ok but not much options around the island. We also walked to nearly public beaches and stores to buy snack and water which was way cheaper.
Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff and opportunities for both swimming in the sea or relaxing by the pool. Plenty of other activities as well.
Food was decent, if not extravagant, and the rooms tidy and spacious.
PS: The boat trip can get bumpy, as we experienced on our way back to Cartagena!
Our stay at Hotel Isla del Sol was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with warmth and friendliness, making us feel right at home. The location is unbeatable—crystal-clear waters, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing.
The rooms were clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a rustic charm while still offering all the necessary comforts. The food was another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and full of Caribbean flair.
The water activities (like snorkeling and kayaking) were well organized and so much fun. If you’re looking to disconnect from stress and immerse yourself in natural beauty, Hotel Isla del Sol is the perfect getaway.
We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
The property is clean and well maintained. The staff were professional, courteous, helpful, and responsive to most any reasonable request. There was a nice selection of meals and the food was prepared well. Now that there are different menus for those choosing the inclusive meal plan or the breakfast only plan.
A variety of activities are available such as kayaking or paddle boarding. There is a small protected beach and a saltwater swimming pool. You can also swim in the open cove. Boats can be hired to visit the other nearby islands or go snorkeling. The island is walkable during the day. The are several other resorts within easy walking or kayak distance that you're free to visit to expand some activities or meet other people.
We spent 3 days that were relaxing but not boring.

I went on a girls’ family trip to this hotel at the end of May, and I absolutely loved the experience. Food and drinks were decent while the staff was friendly and welcoming.
One thing I strongly recommend is planning your arrival time carefully. Since the hotel is only accessible by boat, timing is key. Our flight arrived at Cartagena’s airport at 2 PM. From there, it took about 1 hour and 40 minutes to drive to Barú (where you catch the boat), followed by a 15–20 minute boat ride to the hotel. Sorting this out with the hotel was stressful BUT once we got on the boat, the vacation really began and it was worth it.
To make up for the inconvenience, the hotel graciously offered us complimentary transportation from the airport and even included a tour of the islands which was a thoughtful and pleasant gesture.
A couple of helpful tips:
1. In Colombia, most communication (including with hotels) is done via WhatsApp, so having the app is essential.
2. Breakfast is included, but it’s served early and feels a bit rushed, so make sure you’re up on time.
Aside from those small things, our stay was amazing and incredibly relaxing. My family and I are specially grateful to the staff for their hospitality, aside from the beauty and relaxation from the hotel, the staff was the best part and we had a wonderful time💛
The hotel was clean and staff were very attentive. The free activities (bikes, kayak, paddle boards) were easy to use as the cove allowed for privacy from boats passing by. The food options were delicious. The free breakfast gave a mix of continental options and Colombian options.
We would definitely stay there again.
