Great service. Staff very helpful, friendly and professional. Food is awesome, delicious. Entertainment options are great. Beaches are fantastic. Only issues is the humidity in some areas of the building, access to apartments have no ramps for people with walking problems, and staff should stop people in the restaurant to feed the native mapaches. Overall, we enjoyed the stay.

The service is horrendous. We requested side by side rooms and rooms were not available for two days. Offered no credit or refund for the inconvenience. Staff are not friendly and customer service is poor. Pool was shut down twice during our stay and no help at the bars. Long line ups for drinks and at times didn’t have beer or ingredients for mojitos.

It was good but starting to get a bit run down. Everything isn't on perfect working order and is starting to show its age. Lots of little things, very hard to say exactly what. Staff were friendly, food was good (very Colombian) and services were great.

This is an excellent peninsula/island resort that is extremely beautiful. The people are outstandingly cordial and go the extra mile. If you want a nice beautiful vacation in Colombia, i highly recommend. The trip from Cartegena to Baru is a little rough once you croos the bridge to Baru, and the internet can be spotty at times. But that is expected of a remote resort as such. But once you are there, i promise you will love it.
