The place was nice.
The Hotel's staff didn't let us know our boat transfer was coming before the scheduled time even though the company contacted them. The boat left without us and they made us pay for the taxi back.
Lovely beaches and grounds, nice staff, comfortable bed and cabin.
Food was just ok. The boat ride is rough, especially coming back in the afternoon.
Nos robaron en el hotel dentro de la habitación, sacaron 200 dólares de mi cartera en la habitación, al ser un hotel bonito uno imagina que la seguridad es uno de los aspectos que cuidan, sin embargo no es así, leyendo otros comentarios acá en booking me percaté que no soy la primera a la que leyendo otros comentarios pasa… y la actitud del gerente para brindar apoyo ante lo sucedido deja mucho que desear

The rooms were very cool and made you feel like you had the island to yourself. Staff was very nice and the beach was great!
The bathroom was a bit weird given it was outside and a bit uncomfortable. The food was also extremely limited and they didn’t have a lot on the menu. I wish they’d offer more activities.
Endroit paradisiaque avec de la belle eau cristalline (apportez vos souliers d'eau, c'est rocailleux pour entrer dans l'eau), le personnel est chaleureux et le service impeccable, il y a une plage privé pour les gens qui couchent sur place qui est beaucoup plus calme que celle pour les gens venant passer la journée seulement. Le bungalow est simple, mais confortable : j'ai adoré la douche en plein-air! Le wifi est bon pas mal partout. J'y allais pour le repos et j'ai été bien servi.
Le fond de l'eau rocailleux (quoi que ça ne m'est pas dérangé, mais c'est bon à savoir) et le trajet en bateau qui est très "houleux", il y a de grosses vagues, on doit se tenir... C'est un point à tenir compte si vous désirez vous y rendre!
Todo es hermoso, limpio y muy cómodo. El personal es súper amable. La playa privada es espectacular y se siente verdaderamente la tranquilidad. Ofrecen muchas actividades durante la estancia y siempre hay disponible un kayak en la playa.
Schöne Lage auf einer ruhigen, idyllischen Insel
Nichts
La isla es bellísima! La infraestructura de Isabela es muy buena. La gastronomía del hotel es muy variada y con opciones muy ricas. Hemos pasado 3 noches espectaculares! Destacó la atención del personal, siempre con buena predisposición. La playa es muy bonita y con varias actividades para hacer (kayak, snorkel)
Entiendo que es necesario los cortes de luz para mantenimiento de la maquinaria y generadores, quizás el horario de las 15 a 17 es muy caluroso y al no poder hacer uso de un ventilador, se pasa mucho calor durante esas horas. Sería ideal si pudiesen hacer este tipo de mantenimiento en otro horario
We spent three nights at Isla Bela Hotel. We enjoyed it a lot. The staff was very kind, serviceminded and helpful. Our bungalow was really cool. Amazing location. Three nights is definitively enough though.
I absolutely loved the atmosphere and service — everything felt warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. I especially loved that my room faced the sea and had a private balcony with breathtaking views, plus direct access to the beach. The setting was quiet and tranquil, perfect for relaxing, yet just a short walk to the lively party beach with live music and fun activities — the best of both worlds! The food was delicious, and the views were simply amazing. I would definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for both relaxation and entertainment in a stunning beachfront setting.
Loved everything about the property.
L'ambiance et le soleil, les équipements de la plage, le restaurant peu varié mais bon, le personnel dans l'ensemble sympathique y compris la manager.
La chambre n'est pas climatisée, des ventilateurs bruyants pour la nuit Nous étions dans un bungalow en bout de la propriété pensant etre au calme, nous étions réveillé par les moteurs de bateau tous les matins vers 6h00 et nous avons eu le droit un jour à un chantier de coupe d'arbre a coup de tronçonneuse venant de la propriété voisine Avec notre Bungalow nous avions un transat double face à la mer mais l'aménagement n'était pas fini des fers à béton sortaient de murets laissés à l'abandon (certainement en vue de faire un jolie ponton qui n'a jamais abouti) La salle d'eau du bungalow tres sommaire et sans eau "tiède" le matin Coté plage celle ci est bien équipée de transats simples et doubles en nombre suffisant, c'est l'accès à la mer qui est compliqué car pas de sable fin mais un sol de cailloux et de coraux morts, des sandales de bains sont indispensable alors qu'un ponton avec une échelle de bain auraient été les bien venu pour accédé à la partie ou l'on perd pied Le petit déjeuné avec les œufs au plat trop cuit malgré la demande répété de les faire moins cuit
La tranquilidad al igual que la calidad de la comida es lo mas destacable del hotel.
Recomendaría implementar basureros en la playa.
Las instalaciones, el servicio del personal y la relación de precio y calidad.
Beautiful hutch, very unique
Le cadre est somptueux, la douche en exterieur est tres agreable.. On est à côté d un village où on peut manger des langoustes délicieuses. Il faut des chaussures pour aller dans l eau, car il y a des coraux. Attention à bien fermer votre bungalow à clé quand vous allez vous baigner meme en face de votre hébergement. Le restaurant est bon mais sans plus. Pour accéder à l'ile, préférez le bateau de l hôtel. Le massage à côté de l hotel etait bien, mais plutot en fin d apres midi (plus calme). Le bateau de retour est vers 15h mais une douche et une serviette sont à disposition pour profiter d un dernier bain.
La musique peut déranger. Les cocktails sont chers. Il n y a pas d'eau chaude. Pas de clim mais des ventilos.
Praia linda . Azul transparente. Calma e não tem barcos de motor passando. O gerente William e Guia Daniel foram super atenciosos. Oferecem passeios extras, ótimos. O Snorkel vale muito a pena. Quarto é ok, simples. Custo x benefício vale muito a pena comparado a outros que vi na Ilha
Banheiro c água fraca e cheiro de fossa. Mas entendo que é por conta da estrutura na ilha. Comida é cara e não vale o valor.
Amazing location and scenery. Also pretty cool that the hotel is managed by island natives. The activities proposed by the hotel were also really good.
Sometimes service was too slow or desorganised and the food was not the best
Ogólnie miejsce przyjemne, po 22 jest cicho, natomiast na dwie noce max, bo inaczej nudno, byliśmy parę dni po sztormie wiec plaże były średnie
Trzeba się przygotować na słabe ciśnienie wody i zimną wodę
La tranquilidad del lugar, si buscas un lugar rústico, para relajarte este es el lugar indicado.
Solo son dos cositas que se podría mejorar La falta de limpieza de las colchonetas que están fuera de los bungalows y fuera , y explicar un poco más antes de reservar diferentes opciones de como es el ingreso y salida del lugar.
Beach, breakfast, sunset hike
communication, discussed getting to Baru but did not follow through
Beautiful location. Good food. Friendly staff
Room ventilation can be improved
Simpatia de todos, sempre prontos a ajudar,, a acomodação era limpa todos os dias, a comida era excelente.
L’accueil par le personnel de l’hôtel a été très chaleureux et agréable. Le check-in s’est déroulé correctement, nous avons eu connaissance des activités proposées par l’hôtel, bien que chères, à faire sur l’île. La chambre bungalow est très belle et similaire aux photos. Elle dispose de deux ventilateurs et d’une douche extérieure à l’eau froide.
Bien que les photos de l’hôtel était magnifiques sur le site, la réalité est toute autre. La plage de l’hôtel est sale, remplie de déchets et de sièges empilés partout. Nous avons été dupé par l’hôtel et son personnel : une note est ouverte sur notre chambre avec les diverses consommations où à chaque fois nous devons signer. Toutefois, le personnel omet de préciser qu’il y’a deux endroits sur le ticket où signer en nous indiquant uniquement le prix avec le tips. Ce n’est pas un souci de payer le service mais de tromper le client oui ! Surprise au moment de régler l’entièreté de la note et de voir apparaître des frais de services ! J’ai demandé une explication au responsable mais il s’est immédiatement braqué et a rectifié le tir. C’est avec plaisir que nous laissons un pourboire mais se sentir piéger par les serveurs au moment de signer ce n’est pas respectueux. Une fois la note réglée, le comportement du personnel a radicalement changé : nous répondant avec dédain, ou en nous répondant alors qu’elle est en train de passer un appel personnel. Le standing exigé par l’hôtel doit suivre également avec son personnel. Pour 100€ la nuit pour deux personnes, ça ne vaut pas son prix. Je vous recommande de choisir d’autres hôtels sur l’île.
Beautiful property with very friendly staff. I was solo traveling and for me it was a perfect place to chill and relax. The food was good, beach is beautiful and the manager William did me a huge and kind favor. I stayed for three nights but could’ve stayed longer.
La petite cabane est très mignonne et l’île également. Pour une nuit seulement !
Le personnel est désagréable ! Ils nous font bien ressentir qu’ils n’aiment pas les touristes ! Nous n’avons eu seulement que deux personnes agréables, le manager William et un des serveurs. Le reste devrait changer de métier ! La nourriture est chère, au petit déjeuner nous avons eu des pancakes moisi !!!! Quel dommage que l’île ne soit pas entretenue ! Plastique et déchets partout, sur l’île et dans l’eau. Nous avions réservé de base pour 4 jours et la veille à 22h l’hôtel nous informe que la première nuit n’est plus dispo et ne nous propose aucune solution ! D’après eux une erreur de booking…… nous sommes donc arrivés 2 jours après et l’île était comme vide ! De quoi se poser des questions ! Le lit est extrêmement dur. Si vous voulez bien manger partez explorer l’île en direction de l’hôtel Coralina Island (on y mange très bien et pour le même prix voir un peu moins) et nous y sommes super bien accueilli ! Il y a également un manque d’entretien notable, ferraille qui resort des murets devant nous, balançoire dans l’eau cassée, filets au dessus de la plage indisponible pour réparation enfin bref pour un endroit pareil il est dommage que ça reste dans cet état ! Venez y passer une nuit histoire de se déconnecter mais surtout pas plus.
Unfortunately, the experience was not up to the price charged. The operation felt extremely disorganised, with a rather strange and rigid setup overall. On arrival, you are given a briefing that feels more like a long list of rules. While most of it is common sense, it is delivered in an uncomfortable and oddly formal way. To make matters worse, our booking was not even on the system when we arrived. Throughout the stay, every request, even something as simple as asking for a bottle of water, required staff to communicate over the radio for approval. It gives the impression that no one is empowered to make decisions, and that clearance is needed for everything. We have travelled extensively throughout Colombia and visited many islands. At this price point, you can find far better options with a much higher level of comfort and organisation. There was no complimentary water in the room, no kettle for making a hot drink, and overall the experience simply did not represent good value for money. The location is good, but that applies to almost everywhere on these islands, so it doesn’t really set this place apart. Overall, it was not the kind of relaxation, enjoyment, or professionalism I would expect, and certainly not what I look for in a stay of this level.
Not welcoming, disorganised and definitely not good value for money
Care for details, privacy and right on the beach side
Anything specific
L'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel. La plage privée même si la 2e plage accessible aux touristes à la journée était mieux (moins de coraux). Le prêt de serviettes de plage quotidien. Cadre très sympa, impression d'être seuls au monde le soir, une fois les derniers touristes partis.
Le manque de pression dans la douche (filet d'eau), les coupures d'électricité quotidiennes, les moustiquaires trouées ! Avoir payé le transfert en bateau Aller/Retour via l'hôtel direct port/hôtel (donc un peu plus cher que le transfert "public") et nous avoir indiqué au retour de monter dans un bateau "public" avec plusieurs arrêts sur l'île avant de rejoindre le port de Carthagène !
Hotel Islabela is the absolute best hotel you can stay on the Rosario Islands. Their private beach is so quiet, serene and beautiful and their public beach is an absolute blast. Total good times, music, turquoise ocean water, soft sand, amazing drinks, cold beers, great food and just a wonderful small island atmosphere and chill vibe. We did a snorkeling tour with Hotel Islabela which was totally amazing, beautiful and very reasonable. The tour guides are top notch. The grounds of the hotel are meticulously maintained and beautiful. The best part of the stay were the people. Hotel Islabela team are the best. William the hotel manager truly makes your welcome and stay here unforgettable with his warm smile and friendly service, He and Francesco, Roya and all the other staff here go out of their way to make your vacation truly a wonderful life experience. We will be back!
Un paraíso
La playita de nuestra cabaña una maravilla de paz y relax, sólo que por el día si algún barco/bote decide ponerse en frente, cada uno con su música a todo volumen. O los perros ladrando, más natural pero acompañados de las gallinas o algún generador, interrumpen un poco la paz del paraíso
Dar las gracias al gran personal que tienen, desde el puerto hasta los que están en la misma isla muy amables y atentos a todas nuestras necesidades como familia. La comida tiene el valor justo de un restaurante de una isla. Las playas privadas que tienen solo geniales (les recomiendo arrendar o comprar zapatos para el agua) también van pasantes a una playa distinta donde hay más música y entretención. La cabaña que nos tocó súper limpia y linda con vista al mar con playa privada y solicité una cuna y cumplieron
Nada malo, solo mencionar que cuando es lancha vuelta de isla a Cartagena procuren no comer o tomar tanto ya que la lancha de saltos inesperados.
Las instalaciones están bien pero las cabañas están en medio de la zona de beach club así como la cercanía a otros alojamientos con música muy alta y molesta , incomoda la estancia. Música alta y molesta casi todo el día. Aunque te avisan de que no tiene aire acondicionado en época de mucho calor no recomiendo este alojamiento. El desayuno un poco escaso y el personal con poca experiencia y bastante descuidados en la atención. Destacar que en cada comida y cena así como consumición te suman una propina en la factura. Nosotros pedimos la factura sin propinas y se molestaron mucho. Al llegar amabilidad, pero pagar propinas en un hotel que encima tenía bastantes pegas pues no nos parecía. En cuanto se enteraron malas caras y desatención porque nos quedaban unas horas en el hotel. Yo no recomiendo este alojamiento.
It is very quiet and peaceful. The water is calm and very clear. We enjoyed all the birds and natural setting. The staff was very attentive. We are definitely coming back!
Our stay in the Pechara suite was incredible! The staff here are amazing as well from William, the restaurant staff and tour guides all were so friendly, courteous and went out of their way to make you feel welcomed and taken care of. Absolutely love Islabela hotel and will recommend it to friends and family and anyone else! Will be back for sure.
Esta isla es un sueño hecho realidad. Todo fue maravilloso, desde las hermosas habitaciones hasta la tranquilidad de la isla, la deliciosa gastronomía y la sensación de relajación que experimentamos a diario. El director de orquesta, el Sr. William, siempre fue hospitalario y estuvo disponible para asegurar que todo saliera perfecto, siempre con amor y pasión. Mención especial para Willy, quien nos acompañó cada día con su sonrisa y amabilidad. Gracias, Isla, siempre te llevaremos en nuestros corazones.
Affascinante isoletta nell'arcipelago di Isla del Rosario, con le sue abitazioni ospitali, a minimo impatto ambientale, la cui gestione è affidata ai nativi dell'isola! È tutto semplice ma curato! All'arrivo c'è un saluto di benvenuto e poi è possibile usufruire di una serie di attività (alcune gratuite, le altre a prezzi accettabili) tra cui una visita alla barriera corallina Ps, le spiagge sono constitute dai residui di coralli; per entrare in acqua sono consigliate le scarpette È previsto un trasporto in motoscafo da Cartagena, a pagamento, che va prenotato. Consiglio di contattare almeno una settimana prima la struttura poiché le risposte non sono immediate.
Il mare non è così limpido come credevo, ma probabilmente non era la giornata giusta
Nette kamer, vriendelijk personeel en goed eten
Prijs kwaliteit verhouding, ver overbetaald! Indien helft van geld was beoordeling beter geweest.
Beautiful island and the cabin we had was with sea views which was amazing to wake up to. We had a private front area and entrance to the water. The hotel is eco conscious and rustic, in line with the local style. In fact, it’s owned by the locals which seems like a good cause to boost local growth and economy. The food was pretty good and there was good variety to not get bored of the same. It’s very common for the hotels on Rosario Islands to do day trips which we were worried about in terms of numbers of people and noise but there is a separate quiet beach for people who stay overnight which was very appreciated. Also there’s only a limited number of people staying at the hotel so it’s very quiet, there’s plenty of space on the beaches and it’s very peaceful. Feels luxurious to have all this space to yourself and be on a quiet beach.
The service was slow, it would take 30-40 minutes to get our breakfast from ordering. It was rather confusing when there’s only up to 10 people at the restaurant waiting for food and it’s just some eggs, arepas and a sausage. The staff was a bit strange and unwelcoming. They barely smiled or said anything and if you were asking a question they would not be very helpful to respond and guide you. The hotel says 98% of the staff are locals from the island so not sure if there is some sort of resentment towards tourists cause the interactions were just a bit odd. The room had a foul smell from the shower drain / toilet water system.
J'ai dormi dans un bungalow. Il était très mignon et très confortable. La nourriture était délicieuse et les deux plages privées magnifiques !
Wonderful stay on the rosario island with private beach and staff who was always polite and super helpful, especially William who even helped a lot when you need medical care! Strongly recommended staying with Hotel IslaBela!
Personale e il direttore William super gentili e disponibili. Il bungalow è accogliente e provvisto di ventilatori super potenti e di cassaforte. Non è un hotel quindi qualche compromesso bisogna accettarlo (bagno all'aperto) ma fa parte dell'esperienza di stare su un'isola piccola e immersa nella natura. I turisti alle 14 vanno via e l'isola resta per voi, bellissimo super consigliato!
Niente.
El servicio y la comida del hotel son increíbles. Las actividades que ofrecen también están geniales, valen todas la pena.
Nada, la verdad que toda la experiencia fue muy bien.
Es waren tolle vier drei Tage im Hotel Islabela Del Rosario. Sehr coole Location direkt am Strand, gutes Essen, sehr freundliches Personal, super nett und aufmerksam. Jeder hat immer ein Lächeln übrig. Und William, der Chef des Hauses, ist stets da, wenn man ihn braucht und löst alle Anliegen sofort.
Es war alles perfekt.
We spent here 4 days, which was longer than anyone we met there. The beach and the water is beautiful and pristine clean. I loved the mixed experience of being in a "resort" and also being on an island with locals, seeing how they live and interacting with them. There are tourist groups that come for the daily trips, but they mostly stay on other beach. You can hear a bit of the music from there on Islabela beach, but it's really not intrusive (imo). They leave every day before 3PM. Every day there is power outage from 3PM-5PM that provides amazing tranquility. I relaxed there like I haven't for a long time. You can use the kayak for free, and then paid activities like snorkeling to see the corals, or take a stroll to the neighboring island (Isla Grande is the big island, Islabela is located on Isla Marina aka Isleta). Also locals come and go on kayaks, offering amazing drinks, or even paddle boards so that was great. We had the bungalow Sonia which is in my opinion the best one (the bungalows are scattered across bigger area). The locals and staff are friendly and very nice:) The whole island is an ancient coral reef, so it's all brittle and hard to walk on. It would be the best to have water shoes, but it is manageable without them too if you are deft/nimble.
The communication with the resort before the arrival was tragic. We had no idea we need to leave Cartagena at 8:30AM and that is the ONLY boat you can take (from Bodeguita pier, write the hotel on WA to book your place). Also you have to pay for the boat 240mil/p +35mil insurance. They also didn't mention this to us upon booking (and the booking is non-refundable). There is no drinking water provided by the resort on the island. Yes all the water needs to be delivered there, I understand. But at least they should mention it beforehand. For this price I would expect to have the possibility to refill my bottle at the premises. We went to a local shop to buy 10l water, instead of buying super overpriced bottles at the resort. Maybe for some people it's worth mentioning, that there is not 100% quietness on the island during the day. It is very very calm, you can hear music like from a distance, but it's not zero music. Also every day can be a bit different, some days the day trip tourists came to our beach and hanged out there, some days no one came. But there is plenty of space so it was always fine. The service is a bit slow but you probably dont need to rush when you are there so I guess that's fine too. Breakfast is only until 8:30AM which is pretty brutal considering that you came on an island to sleep and relax. But they only have one kitchen for all the tourists that come there during the day so they need to distribute their capacities. The food at Islabela is ok, there is a local restaurant not so far that offers bit better prices, and one reaaally nice like more luxurious resort with amazing food:))
The staff were friendly and attentive. The cabin was excellent, and the beach was quiet, beautiful and relaxing. Was the perfect getaway.
Es un lugar fantástico, la cabaña le da todo el toque natural y privado y las vistas desde la isla son inigualables. También es muy chévere saber que es un proyecto en conjunto con las comunidades locales de la isla.
El desayuno podría ser mejor la verdad, la calidad de ciertos alimentos como el café no se sentían de calidad y en general la comida podría ser mejor. La presión del agua de la cabaña era poca.
L’emplacement
Las islas del Rosario son un paraíso, y el hotel Isabela es la perla ! El personal es excelente, las habitaciones son confortables y el desayuno y las comidas de primer nivel.
La playa y el gente
Muy hippie
Lage auf der Insel...
Die kleinen Strände vor den Häusern waren super dreckig und nicht ausgebaut... teilweise Eisenstangen offen im Wasser
Belle installation
Vol de linge dans les sacs alors que la chambre est barrée!!! De plus, lors de notre arrivé, nous avons été dirigé vers une chambre incroyable pour nous faire dire ensuite qu’ils s’étaient trompés de chambre. Ils ont dit qu’on pourrait rester la sans problème. Le lendemain, ils nous charge le double du prix pour la chambre..
Fint och genuint hotell! Personalen var utmärkt med väldigt trevligt bemötande och var mycket hjälpsamma. Väldigt god mat! Fanns två små affärer på ön där man kunde handla.
We had an excellent time on the island - absolutely beautiful beach and water, free to use kayak, and the loveliest staff. We really felt immersed in the small community and the sunset walk to the other side of the island is absolutely not to miss!
We had quite a bit of trouble getting to the island, didn’t feel it was super clear that there was a boat provided by the hotel as the communication wasn’t great about this - so we got a private transfer instead. Would also say that the island is VERY small, you will be eating at the hotel every meal etc.
Schnorchelmöglichkeiten
Strom war sehr unregelmäßig vorhanden: es wurde vor Ort angekündigt, dass es einzelne Stunden ohne Strom geben würde. Diese variierten aber stark, sodass wir teils im Dunkeln gegessen haben. Wasser und Snacks dürfen explizit nicht mitgenommen werden und kosten vor Ort. Das Essen war okay mit eher kleiner Auswahl, weil es nur eine Karte für beide Restaurants gibt. Das Gelände des Hotels kann nicht verlassen werden. Das Personal insgesamt war freundlich, die Kommunikation mit dem Direktor war stellenweise unangenehm und problematisch.
El lugar esta impecable, todo el personal fue muy amable y atentos. Gracias especiales a Cristian que siempre con su buena onda creo actividades. Esta isla es un gran lugar para descansar y recargar, las habitaciones son acogedoras y limpias. Lugar 100% recomendado.
It was impossible for us to reach the hotel by mail or phone. We wanted help to get to the island from Cartagena, but had to find out ourselves. To get off the island was easy to plan, and in a much cheaper way…!
Nothing.
Although nothing on the hotel’s page mentions it, please know that you can only reach the property at 7:30 a.m. and only by paying an extra 290,000 Colombian pesos. You can also return only in the afternoon the same way. They sent me a confusing message in Spanish just one day before arrival. They don’t answer phone calls or messages, and if the call drops, they never call back. Because of this lack of communication, I missed the boat, and then they asked for 450,000 pesos in Spanish and 550,000 pesos in English (!) to bring me to the island. I gave up. I asked for a refund and never received it. Booking’s customer service was also terrible and unhelpful. Do yourself a favor and find another place.
Great, best hotel on the island and good food in the restaurant
There are no ACs, but that's the consept of the hotel, however good fans provided so it's ok
Απίστευτη τοποθεσία, λίγοι επισκέπτες είναι σαν ένας ιδιωτικός παράδεισος
Οι τιμές είναι λίγο ακριβές αλλά το service σίγουρα το αξίζει. Το κατάλυμα έχει οικολογικό χαρακτήρα οπότε δύο ώρες την μέρα το μεσημέρι δεν έχει ρεύμα. Τα δωμάτια έχουν ανεμιστήρες και όχι a/c. Βέβαια σε ένα κατάλυμα αυτού του είδους με οικολογικό προσανατολισμό αυτά πρέπει κάποιος να τα περιμένει και να μην τον πειράζουν όταν επιλέγει να έρθει εδώ.
L’emplacement était impeccable et en adéquation avec la vie des locaux. On enjoint à faire attention à l’eau, aux dechets etc. Le service était parfait: tout le monde au petit soin.
La salle de bain est très minimaliste. Les pieds sont mouillés quand on va aux toilettes et il y a une petite odeur d’égout tout de même. Après, on est plus sur la plage que dans la chambre :) Peut être aussi indiquer comment arriver par nous même à l’hôtel: via la Bodeguita, à 8h30, environ 150 mille pesos par personne.
The quiet beach was beautiful and relaxing. The stuff was kind and helpful. The food was good.
The communication before arrival wasn’t good at all.I tried to reach them in every platform there is- WhatsApp, instagram, booking and they didn’t answer or respond not related answers after hours. I just wanted to understand how we can get to the hotel. Because they didn’t answer, we took a public boat that was horrible. Just when we arrived we understood we could get their private boat.
Cabañas lindas y playa privada
Het eten en het personeel.
De prijs en de omschreven luxe van de bungalow.
We had a lovely stay in Islabela. The journey itself took about 1.5 hours from Cartagena so it is a bit further away than some of the other islands, but we thought it was worth it. The hotel is beautiful, very quiet and relaxing. The private beach and beds are great for chilling during the day away from the day trips. Our room (Andry) was lovely and rustic, as you would expect from a beach property. The staff were lovely and the manager William was very welcoming. We did snorkelling which was very fun and walked around the island a bit. Great stay overall.
The food and cocktail options could be expanded slightly to include more. The service at times was a bit slow and our order for drinks was forgotten a couple of times (I think once during someone's change of shift). Really didn't take away from our experience however and we would recommend overall.
Atención, amable el personal y la playa privada.
Se puede mejorar la carta, más opciones
La playa privada es muy linda y cómoda, la comida del restaurante del hotel muy buena. Organización de ida y vuelta en lancha muy bien.
El desayuno podría ser mejor, desorganizado el check out.
El personal súper amable y muy pendiente todo el rato por si necesitábamos algo. El entorno es inmejorable, con un paisaje y vistas estupendas. La cama muy cómoda. La comida está muy buena.
Por decir algo, se necesitan zapatillas de agua para entrar en la playa porque tiene mucho coral partido o piedras que impiden andar descalzo. Quizá sería útil una ducha de agua dulce al lado de la playa para poder quitarte la arena de los pies y no llegar a la habitación y llenarlo todo de arena.
La playa era linda y la comida
El mosquitero de la habitación no era muy útil y es necesario, el baño era como abierto, se podia ver hacia afuera, se veian las personas que pasaban por fuera. Al reservar dicen que no tienen aire acondicionado, pero la verdad es que es muy necesario.
Struttura immersa nella natura, ideale per chi vuole relax perché si estende sui due lati dell’isola pertanto i turisti che fanno escursioni giornaliere nell’arcipelago non vengono a disturbare gli ospiti dell’hotel
Nulla, tutto perfetto dallo staff sempre molto gentile e disponibile, alla cucina ottima e a prezzi più che onesti per essere su un’isola
La singularidad del lugar y los desayunos.
El servicio es un poco lento con todas las gestiones. Creo que algún parque de muebles, toallas, estaría bien renovarlos
Una delle poche spiagge con sabbia di tutta l isola. Lo staff è disponibile e la cucina è davvero deliziosa. Le capanne sono confortevoli e quelle con vista mare hanno molta privacy. In tutto la zona regna la tranquillità e il silenzio. La musica che molti descrivono come assordante in realtà rimanendo nell’area ospiti della struttura non si sente nemmeno.
Le camere sono molto calde purtroppo la notte si patisce il calore. Effettivamente ci sono molti cani e gatti nella zona che non sono assolutamente fastidiosi ma varrebbe la pena porre più attenzione per fare in modo che non si accucciano sulle sdraio e i lettini degli ospiti.
The natural beauty of the hotel and its uniqueness was superb. All the staff was so attentive and accommodated our every need.
The beds were really stiff and firm but was good for the value of our stay.
La calidez y la política de servicio que distingue a ISLABELA y su personal, muy preopados permanentemente de lo que te pueda hacer falta o si necesitas servicios adicionales, todos los detalles dan un valor agregado a tu estancia. No puedo dejar de destacar la impecable gestión de Keyla, quien nos ayudó con una cena especial que armó con el personal de este bello Eco Hotel situado en medio del MAR CARIBE. Alison, una mención especial para ella por habernos hecho sentir muy especiales y la conexión y buena onda que se armó el día que llegamos... simplemente nos hicieron pasar una fantastica experiencia en nuestra primera vez en Islas del Rosario. No olvidaremos a Daniel, quien nos mostró un atardecer diferente desde otro paraje de la isla que nos enamoró más aun de sus paisajes, su gente, su cultura y poder conocer un poco más de esta comunidad de isleños que luchan dia a dia por mantener este hermoso ecosistema y hacerlo sustentable junto a sus familias. Claramente, volveremos un día. Felicitaciones.
Las opciones de desayuno pudieran ser algo más tipo buffet, pero son detalles tan minimos frente a todo lo inmensamente feliz que fuimos esos 3 dias en ISLABELA.
The staff was absolutely amazing. However before we booked our three night stay we checked the hotel website to double check the menu since we would be on the island for 4 days. The menu shown on the website shows way more options than the actual menu on the island. It would be nice if that would be updated. Since the options were limited and the prices for Colombian standards very high it adds up quite fast. We enjoyed our stay but one night would have been plenty. The beach is nice but there is a lot of stones and broken coral. If you want beaches with powdery sand i recommend you go somewhere else. You have the islands to yourself after 2:30 pm. And there is not much else to do than read a book.
