This property gives you the ability to disconnect from city life. The staff is amazing and very attentive. Please note that this bungalow hotel is an hour and thirty minutes away from Central Cartagena. The hotel provides transportation if you are looking to do activities away from the hotel premises and they are very punctual with pickup and providing you a safe ride back to the hotel.

The property is incredibly beautiful, the staff is pretty attentive. The only bad part was, the were trying to double charge me a night and some other fees for a great amount of money. The same happened to me and two other couples that were checking out at the same time. Keep track of your expenses when you visit.

The property is beautiful. The staff is very friendly and had a great customer service. Unfortunately they were extra charging us a night and some other fees. Same happened to 3 different people checking out at the same time. Keep track of what you spend and make sure someone understands the bill.

Good hotel. water in the private pool needs to be clean, its just sea water filled in a pool. Great dining options.. v convenient boatride to the private island from the main resort. Every little thing other than the room was just an add-on expense which was a bit weird, but at least the service was good. The room itself was amazing and the views were stunning

Las Islas is a beautiful property located about an hour and a half outside the main city of Cartagena. It gives a bit of a glamping vibe which is nice. Our bungalow was situated quite a walk from the reception and dining options, so we relied on requesting a golf cart to get around. The stay at the resort was going well until about the 3-day when we opted to leave the resort and spend the day in Cartagena. When we returned to the resort, turndown service had taken place and we decided to stay in for most of the 4-day and order room service. While preparing for dinner, we noticed a gold necklace was missing from a small jewelry bag, that was not left out in sight, but placed in a slightly larger bag with hair supplies. After thoroughly searching the bathroom, luggage, safe and room it was clear that it was missing and someone may have gone through our stuff. After calling the front desk and reporting the item missing I was assured they would reach out. We went to dinner and on the way back, stopped by the reception and asked for an update. At that point, I was asked to write down my phone number and told that someone from guest services would reach out they were waiting on housekeeping to update them. The following morning was check out, no update had been provided or contact made. During checkout, I once again asked about the missing piece, and the receptionist took a picture of the matching bracelet and once again requested my info. A week later and no one has contacted us.

Nice resort; a little tired in spots but nice staff, quirky, but charming rooms. Stayed in a tree house and then a sea view room; which I ended up preferring. Climbing the steps to the treehouse got old quickly. Spa is nice and I had great massage. Water in Ocean was a little murky, restaurants were hit or miss. Breakfast was good.

The grounds and buildings are excellent, nside thick jungle on a small beachfront. The location is as safe as it gets in Columbia. Also, RELIABLY GOOD weather in January. We had no rain, air and water 30 degrees for two weeks and BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS every night. The downside was sketchy service. The satff are kind, but they are from a very poor local community. They are trained and some speak some English, but things fall through the cracks. Like, they would forget to change towels, replensih coffee pods, not sweep the deck well etc. It seemed there was a degree of randomnes in the housekeeping. Going for a day trip to Cartagena is a must. If you are a SCUBA diver, ask them to take you on the outer side of the Rosario islands. Coral is different there and visibility is better. Also, a small shipwreck was interesting.

Eco- luxury at the tip of Barú
Amazing eco-friendly luxury experience in Barú at Las Isla. The service was 5 stars, anything you need they bring you fast. We stayed in a treetop room, which was so private and quiet. They have their own private island, a boat that takes you there in 5mins at anytime. Happily no issue with bugs or mosquitoes in December when we visited. Weather was perfect and waters warm and refreshing. Food is good, but very high priced for Colombia. This destination is romantic and great for couples, as well for families that just want to relax. I highly recommend having the hotel arrange a boat to take you to the hotel from Cartagena, it is a fun 45 min ride. You will get a little wet, but they store luggage away so don’t worry it’s protected. You also take a taxi but takes longer about 1-1/2 hours.

Paradise for introverted couples
Amazing place and amazing service. Loved every facet of our stay. The staff attend to every detail and you aren’t left wanting for anything. We enjoyed 3 days and nights. Breakfast was perfect. Absolutely the best way to start the day. The private island was amazing for privacy swimming. The food at all the restaurants was terrific! They arranged our transportation to and from the resort. They also arranged and outing for us to the national aviary and toll at night to see bioluminescent plankton. We also enjoyed a couples massage on site. Book this place now!

Blissful stay in Baru
This is an amazing venue and our bungaloo was wonderful with its very own tiny swimming pool. The beach is lovely. Bicycles are available for riding within the resort and service with golf carts is prompt. Service is first rate and all have the most wonderful and positive attitudes. I worry a bit about maintenance for the resort, which is only 5 years old. Being so close to salt water, maintainance for all things metalic must be especially high order.

The property is BEAUTIFUL, the food is DELICIOUS, the entire staff is EXCELLENT, and the restaurants, bar, and beaches are EXCELLENT...The only thing is that will be supper helpful and convenient for the guests if the property is fumigated daily for 2 a week at least, the mosquitos do not let you enjoy the rooms or the amenities outside the room.

Restaurants were very expensive considering the very very limited dining options outside of the hotel. Seafood items here in the middle of the ocean were more expensive than what they’d be somewhere in NYC for example. Prices were the only downside

Las Islas is a beautiful property set in the tropical forest right on the ocean. The bungalows are comfortable and private. The beach was comfortable for sunbathing and swimming. The dining facilities are very comfortable and the food was great. The staff were friendly and very respectful and helpful. We stayed at the property for 3 days and nights, and did not leave (the town of Baru was dirty and we did not feel comfortable visiting it). I highly recommend Las Islas for a tropical vacation on the beach.

This property is a piece of paradise! The beauty of the setting along with the comfort of the treehouses, we loved every minute of our stay. The staff is amazing and prompt. The spa is serene and I had truly the best massage of my life under the care of Ester. The other staff members from waiters to golf cart drivers to beach attendants were friendly and always helpful and prompt in their service. Our treehouse was amazing and comfortable and every detail was well thought out…for example, ice maker in room! Also a hammock which was super comfy! We woke every morning to beautiful birds singing happily. Well worth seeking out the monkeys which live also on property. To the reviews who mentioned their breakfasts weren’t always as requested, keep in mind that the majority of staff speak their native language of Spanish and little English. I’m sure if they ordered breakfast to me in Spanish, I would also not get it exactly right. The 2 beaches were equally amazing! The private beach club is about a 5 minute boat ride and is well worth the effort. It was closed one day for a private event so be sure to ask the schedule so you don’t miss out. Transport to and from the resort is a bit tricky. Car from Cartegena easy and just over an hour. We took boat back and it is indeed a wild ride of about an hour. If you are at all prone to motion sickness or have any physical conditions that are aggravated by jarring, do yourself a favor and take taxi. Overall, fantastic stay!
