Amazing get away resort. Food and drinks are outstanding. Special shoutout to Lewin, Silvio and Alvaro. Ammenities on this resort are above similar properties. Beach is not the biggest and due to its location and depending on weather, the water can get mixed up and not be as turquoise as other beaches in the area.

This property was beautiful. The only thing I didn't like was not having a free option of transportation off of the island when i wanted to go explore. However the overall stay was nice and the staff were very kind. Also make sure to take bug spray the mosquitoes were very bad and I got bit up alot.

This is located on an island so the only way to get here is via boat. You can travel via car but not as convenient, you still need the boat to get from car to island. It is very peaceful, staff very friendly. Expedia mislead us to say it was all inclusive which isn't true. They only cover 3 meals a day but you have to pay for lunch when you arrive. The food quality is weaker than the walled city but comparably more expensive. Alcohol is not included. The entire experience was very relaxing and quiet. This was probably the best part.

Excellent stay

It was a wonderful stay from start to finish. Service was incredible, food delicious, rooms amazing. Only downside was that I didn’t think to bring bug repellent. Mosquitos were bad early am and evening so we were unable to use our balcony at all and had to get out of the pool by 5:00pm. This was in November at the end of rainy season, so it makes sense that there were mosquitos, just an oversight on my part. Hope this tidbit helps someone be better prepared.

A truly wonderful few days at this gorgeous property. The boat ride to the property from Cartagena was a beautiful one hour trip. Welcome drinks and friendly staff greeted us upon arrival. Our villa overlooking the pool and sea was modern and comfortable with very quiet and effective air conditioning, that was necessary as the afternoon heat was impressive. Three meals per day are included and they were tasty, well prepared and large portions that were served by friendly staff. Note that alcohol is NOT included in the rate, so be prepared to pay extra for any cocktails or wine. The neighboring village was a bit loud at night as the street party went until the early morning hours, but it was a LOT more quiet than the street parties in Cartagena. Overall a great spot that was very well maintained, relaxing with great food and great service. We would highly recommend for a relaxing escape after busy days being a tourist in Cartagena.

8/10 Very good

For the price we paid per night ($600 for a family of 4), the food was really pretty poor. It was disappointing and the worst we had on our 3 week trip to Colombia. No options for kids. We were told every lunch would be buffet, only one out of four ended up being buffet. We were given the a la carte menu to choose from, whilst this may sound appealing, there was only one starter and four mains. Fish was terrible, such a shame for being on an island. Every night, you had to endure the music from the village. One night it went on until 4am. I would recommend staying on the smaller islands where the water is clear and calm.

The room was lovely . Very clean , really cool outdoor shower. The guests only pool was really great and the hotel grounds were well maintained Like others mentioned , the water is a bit murky and green, not clear blue it is still calm and pretty. We loved using the free paddle boards and kayaks . We didn’t love having day trippers take over the beach at 10-2 so we went to the pool during that time . There are some people selling jet ski rides and jewelry near the beach but they mostly wait for you to approach them . Lovely views from the restaurant . They have a few vegetarian options that were tasty. We had an issue with the server and the vegetarian food that was resolved quickly and very kindly by the manager of restaurant and hotel. We loved the snorkel trip . It was so lovely. We hope in the future the guides would talk about importance of conservation and remind people not to step on the coral . Our son 11 year old loved this place and we liked it . We would return . It was overall a nice relaxing place to spend time .

6/10 Good

We had a nice stay at Hotel Islas del Encanto. It may not be for everyone. The rooms are very clean and the beds are quite nice by American standards (and we are picky). The bathrooms in most rooms are semi-outside but private, so not air conditioned or enclosed from bugs, but really there were few mosquitos. The staff are super friendly although not all have great English, but they are so nice it makes up for it. The biggest drawback would be the limited beach as they send you on a boat trip if you want a better beach, and limited activities. The saltwater pool is really nice with a waterfall and swim-up bar, and there is plenty of filtered water. The other drawback is the food is all included in the price (not drinks, but that was well warned), but the food is so-so. We ate much better in Bogota and Cartagena, like juices did not seem fresh squeezed for instance, breads were doughy, etc. But very relaxing and quiet and if you have rustic expectations you will enjoy it. Sunsets over the ocean are spectacular! Also do the aviary tour and the plankton tour, but negotiate on price as they know they are overcharging!
