The property location is nice because it felt like you’re on your own private island. However, the boat schedule from the hotel Island to Cartagena was inconsistent for example we were told a boat was leaving in the morning at 8am and then found out that it was going at 9am! I and others planned trips that were leaving from Cartagena at 8:45! In addition, one day the water went out for about 5min as I was taking a shower and when it came back on green stuff started coming out of the shower head onto my body! I had to let the water run for about 10min before it cleared up! Otherwise we had nice room and time.

Customer service is subpart at most. Our bungalow didn't have water service on multiple occasions without notice. Getting a hot plate was a challenge, the restaurant staff is polite but very poor at execution. This is my second time staying. First stayed was not memorable but not as bad as this one. Would not recommend

Overall, the property was fantastic. There was a couple peacocks that were stunning but a little obnoxious every 10 minutes (But that’s not on them). Everybody was so nice the rooms and the whole island was so clean.

Let’s start with, the hotel never answers their phone lines. They only want to communicate through WhatsApp and the conversation restarts of your not answering consistently. This wasn’t helpful because we couldn’t ask questions or get guidance on a pickup from the airport until we were on the plane. We booked a presidential suite to make sure everything was decent such as AC, cleanliness, rodent free and it just wasn’t. It took forever to check into our room and once we checked in, we tried to get ready and shower and in the shower there were insects and goop coming out of the shower head. Once we overcame that, we got ready and went to explore the beach. Beach itself was dirty and smelly, lots of wild dogs everywhere. We went back to our room to find out the power was out, no light and no AC. While we waited we found a lizard in the room and a bunch more lizards right outside the door to the balcony. The door to the balcony does not fully shut, it has cracks in which these slimy little things were getting in. While we were there, we saw a raccoon go inside another room through the roof… that is not okay. There response to these things were that it’s an Island. Yes it’s an island but that doesn’t mean the island has to live in the booked room. We had booked this room for two nights and proceeded to leave after the first night because of how inconsistent this place was. I tried working with Expedia to get a refund on the night we didn’t stay and the hotel declined.
