"I absolutely adored my stay at Isla Mística. From the moment I arrived, it just felt magical. I stayed in one of the jungle rooms and the walk to and from the main area is definitely a little trek after dark, so keep your phone charged for the torch, but honestly it added to the whole adventure. The island itself is fascinating with an interesting history. It is this gorgeous blend of tropical paradise and untouched nature, with crystal clear water, spectacular sunsets and lush green jungle that looks straight out of a movie. And then there is the wildlife. The nature here is the real headline act. I still cannot believe I got to cuddle a spider monkey every day. Her name was Niña and she took it upon herself to knock on my door every single morning like my own tiny furry alarm clock. She would wander in, hop on the bed and settle in for cuddles. I mean, who gets to say that. Five minutes from my room I had flamingos. Around every corner I would spot monkeys, deer, iguanas and parrots. It felt like living inside a tropical daydream. Everything felt clean and cared for during my stay. The rooms are no-frills simple and showers are basic, but you’re surrounded by so much beauty that it all just melts into the background. The food was decent with plenty of choice. It’s on the pricier side for what it is, but given the location I totally get why. You choose your dinner a couple of hours in advance and everyone eats at the same time, which actually creates a nice little commun"

"I loved the hotel. It's like a hidden gem"

"I enjoyed my stay here. Perfect get away with my girlfriend. Food was good and the beach on the property was amazing and great view of the ocean. The hotel offered some great activities as well."

"Great location by the sea, but cleanliness below average. "

"We had a very good time here. They take many steps to make you comfortable and feel at home. Emma greeted us every meal with a smile, Erling, Pedro and other servers take care of every need they can see, and the food was very good. At the bar they let us try some local fruit (Lulo, which we had never heard of) and Osvaldo was extremely helpful and enjoyed practicing English with us, which was our pleasure since we were practicing Spanish. We only speak a little Spanish, and Estefany was fantastic for helping us in English with more complicated questions. We stayed in a Deluxe Bungalow and it was quiet. Overall it was a fairly quiet place, which is what we were looking for. The phytoplankton tour was amazing and our favorite. The jellyfish tour as pretty good. The snorkeling was not as good as other places we have been, but still worthwhile for the price. If you are a little adventurous you can visit the staff accommodation area where there are a couple of pigs and some turtles. There is a very nice man, one of the maintenance men, who takes care of the animals. If you are even more adventurous you can visit the village on the other side of the island, where some staff live, which we did and were greeted nicely there also. Many thanks to the staff at Isla Hotel Mucura!"

"Although Mucura is a bit out of the way from Cartagena, it is completely worth the visit. The waters are pristine, the coral national park is a must-see for snorkeling/scuba enthusiasts, and the island is a great, relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Mucura Club hotel employees were very kind and helpful; the rooms very clean, and the environment well kept. Would highly recommend!"
