"This hotel needs to do better. The AC in my room wasn’t working properly and the restaurant did not have at least 50% of the items of the menu. We left one day before, because we needed to fully enjoy our time of vacation. Perhaps, not only for this hotel, but for all the hotels in las Islas del Rosario, the transportation is a scary ride, way too many people in the boats."

"The place is a paradise, but keep in mind that staying there means having nowhere to eat or have a drink after 9 p.m., and the food and drinks there are excessively expensive. Additionally, the reception staff try to take advantage of guests, to the point of making unauthorized charges in order to get more money, such as unauthorized tips or non-resident taxes. The service could definitely be better considering the very high price of the place."

"Posto poco curato, trasandato e molto spartano. Prezzi molto alti per la qualità offerta. C’è un molo d’attracco ma non un vero posto dove fare il bagno. Sconsigliato."

"We were honored to be the first guests after Isla Azul’s reopening under new management. The hotel manager Pedro is exceptionally friendly and customer-focused. 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...

"I really loved this stay! The island was very nice, I loved being able to immerse myself in nature. I saw wild parrots too! The island is very walkable, and there is a little store next door with sodas and chips, which we enjoyed.
The room was very spacious and we enjoyed the outdoor hammock. The dogs were super friendly and so were the cats! The fan was enough to keep us cool, and the shower was great for if you get hot. Check-in was smooth and we were offered a place to store our luggage at...

"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.

"This is a great alternative to the hotels that are on the island. But it is an econo Lodge. Meaning limited power and water. It does give a real feel for the colonial living of the island. And for my overnight stays between diving it fit the need."

"We had a great time. The property has two residences. The chefs/cleaners are in a house at the back. They were really great. Especially great cooks! We provided the groceries and they cooked in the outside kitchen to perfection and cleaned after each meal. For us, it was all authentic Colombian food, which is what we wanted.The location is great. The chefs also helped with connecting us to fishermen, etc. Had great lobster delivered to our dock for our chefs to prepare one night. A...

"This is one of those places that you don’t want to leave and you always want to come back to! Worth every dollar spent! Best hotel in Cartagena / Baru without a doubt!"

"¡Me encantó mi estadía en Fénix Beach! La habitación era muy cómoda, el desayuno delicioso y la playa estaba impecable. Quiero destacar especialmente la excelente atención de todo el personal, siempre amable y pendiente de cada detalle. Sin duda, una experiencia que repetiría. ¡Súper recomendado!"
"This is a small local hotel amongst monster hotels in the immediate area. It has a great personal feel to it. We opted for the higher end room and had an awesome view of the pools and ocean. The room was nice but the staff is what makes this place great. Do they speak great English?....Nooo. but that is half the fun. We enjoyed everyone working there. The bar/restaurant is a fun place to just hang out and enjoy the views (food was surprisingly good too). The included breakfast is soooo good. They have a coffee/Gelato bar too.
To me, you have a couple options for hotels...book with one of the big guys and maybe get a little more luxury for your high price and little to no local flare OR spend less money on the little guy and get a really nice stay, a good time with great people and a local feel. We made the right decision and would absolutely stay here again."
"Lovely stay at the hotel, the staff were very helpful and attentive. Rooms were a good size and had been fitted with AC which was very necessary. You could book out the paddle boards, kayaks and bikes for an hour for free. The hotel does get a bit busy during the day as people come for day trips but they leave at 2:30 and then it gets pretty quiet again. I think the pool and beach area could be a little better taken care of but overall it was a great stay."
