Fabulous stay at this beautiful property! The staff, the ambience, the service and all little details in the room were top notch. There are only (6) rooms on the property, so all guests receive excellent service from the staff. The room is very comfortable, A/C, hot water, a rainfall shower and comfortable beds with daily linen changes. The staff is super attentive and will do their best to get you whatever you need.

Beautiful location, so relaxing to have the ocean breeze sway you in a hammock. I scuba dive and the onsite dive shop was a dream.

Absolutely incredible spot. Crystal clear water (albeit some trash below the waves), relaxing in cabanas with great food and drink, and exploring the island (don't miss village life in Orika). The bioluminscent tour was truly memorable, as were the otherworldly mangroves and exploring other islands nearby with Luis Filipe (fantastic tour guide; highly recommend!).
Loved the quiet and elegant boutique hotel vibe. The hotel was full of really lovely interesting guests and the staff were really welcoming and attentive.
We loved our stay there as quiet interlude to the fast pace of Cartagena.
If you're looking for party vibe then Coralina is not for you (head to Bora Bora). If you're looking for beautiful island shabby-chic luxury then Coralina is perfect.

Incredible place to rest, away from the tiresome sellspeople that crowd Playa Blanca and Barú offering from massages to wrist bands. Here you can actually REST, and do whatever you want to do, snorkeling, kayaking reading. Even work, if you must, the wifi connection was great at the hostel we stayed.
You can easily walk the island or do a round trip vía Kayak (3-4 hours aprox). The Mangle are really beautiful and that's a nice tour to have. The little village of Orika (1500 ppl) is really nice and peple are very kind with tourists. There were 2-3 restaurants that I can remember, but none looked tempting so we stayed with the Hostel restaurant for health sake. No need to improvise. :)
It's a small island perfect for introspection and sea sports as mentioned before. I'd say it's a mandatory visit if you go to Cartagena (hey, you can even sacrifice Playa Blanca without loosing too much, if you must prune a few days of your stay), but definitely try to visit the island. We travelled with 3 kids aged 16, 13 and 12. and 3 nights at the hostel hit the spot for them. More would have been a little too much for them.

This is the furthest island and honestly there’s nothing to do here. Specifically at this hotel, there was only two lawn chairs where the sun actually reached and the rest were always in the shade. And the two that were in sun were always occupied. The one time we did get to sit in them, the dock it’s on was not sturdy or secure. In fact the board under the chair broke as my friend was laying in it!! And the chair leg went towards the water.
The hotel itself had no beach so you had to walk 20 minutes to get there and it was not easily accessible by any means. All the other beaches were private and you had to pay for.
They offered theee excursions - I can’t speak to one. But the other two were scams.

It felt really remote but with everything you needed (be prepared, no A/C.
The Caipirinhas are FANTASTIC how they make them.
Kayaks pull up with cocktails from outside vendors. Adds a fun element.
Most nights they offered something to do after the day trippers left.

This is an island that is completely run for the profits of the beach resorts who cater almost exclusively to the day-trippers from Cartagena. This means that if you are not in one of these resorts your access to much of the island is restricted. For the most part, there are no evident access points into the interior of the island from these resorts and we found ourselves entering through service entrances to try to get the coast, or a bar and were often found trespassing. Some of these resorts are more welcoming than others and some charge an entry fee for non-guests. However, many of these resorts don't seem to have overnight guests and, therefore, shut up shop after 4pm so there is little-to-no evening activity on the island (and no street lights, so make sure to have a torch with you)
There are some fun and interesting activities to do on the island - enough to fill a day, but the limited access when staying there meant that we were very ready to leave after two nights.

Great for relaxing.
Great for relaxing. Warning to all those who love the ubiquitous and annoying Colombian music - no music is allowed in any part of Coralina Island! You will enjoy the silence, the sound of the sea waves and the chirping of the birds.
The owner of the hotel, a French-Colombian named Pierre, is a wonderful person. Thanks to him, his kind nature and willingness, we felt like we were visiting a good friend or family member. Barbora, a Czech living in Colombia.
The property had everything we needed to have a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and cleaned the beach daily so we had easy access into the beautiful blue water. Even with people coming in for day trips it never felt too busy. We booked snorkeling through the hotel which was great and alot of fun. The rooms are very bare bones but are well equipped with everything you need. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent eco-resort with comfortable rooms and super kind and friendly staff. Directly on the ocean, with snorkeling right out front. Lots of comfy hammocks (per the name). Well located: the village is a 15-minute walk through the jungle, and we also walked over to a neighboring resort one night for dinner. Note that the Mary tourist boat from Cartagena will drop and collect you right on the resort's own pier.
the staff are incredible and the food is amazing. what pietro has done in the last 9 months is brilliant and the resort is constantly improving - e.g. I know they are planning on improving the swim area.
location is near town and you can walk to other resorts on the island as well.
the activities on offer are great, and worth doing through the hotel with local operators
A very quaint and lovely place to stay at when visiting Isla Grande. We loved how quiet it was but also how easy it was to reach the main beaches we wanted to visit. The staff is really kind and accommodating. The lodge is simple but very nice and clean and it gave us this authentic island feel we were looking for. We definitely recommend it.
Location was very easy to get to when arriving from the boat and the room was very clean and spacious. Several beaches are a 3 minute walk away and there are many activities that you can do through the hotel. The hotel is run by a family and is very kind - I forgot something on the island and they helped get it back to me in Cartagena.
We had a truly superb family holiday. The staff were excellent and very patient with our poor Spanish. There was in fact always someone who spoke English and they couldn’t do enough for us. Highlights included kayaking in the fascinating enchanted lagoon and great snorkelling in front of the hotel. The food was excellent too.
They have the best beaches at Isla Grande with a nice sunrise every morning. There enough places with sun and also with shadow.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I can warmly recommend you to talk to David. He pays most attention to all guests speak perfect English and he arranged a very nice tour for us.
Sleeping at Rosario island is a must to take full advantage of the quietness of the island after day tourists have left.
The hotel offered a delicious welcome drink with fresh fruit at arrival.
Dinner was delicious, with fresh fish ceviche and drinks; however offer is limited and tight opening times.
All the staff are truly phenomenal - set such a wonderful vibe for the stay! The setting is really like no other and the hostel’s mission to invest back into the local community and environment is brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back if we are ever on Isla Grande again.
the rooms are very comfortable and clean, service was amazing with really kind and caring staff. there were nice areas to relax around the hotel and the lounge music at dinner time was the perfect way to end the day! we particularly enjoyed the fish at dinner
i love staying at Coralina. the manager made our stay special and we felt taking care of. the food is great. all rooms have ac and free of mosquitos. (this was big for me since a lot of other hotels around didn’t have ac and you’d be eaten by mosquitos)
Great food. Nice location with a little beach and dock good for swimming right around the corner. They cleaned the rooms and filled up the bathroom water barrels everyday. It's a nice calm place to base yourself at while exploring Isla Grande.
The bungalow with private beach and sunrise views. It's an eco hotel so toilet water comes from the sea and shower/faucet from a fresh water tank. Sustainable and rudimentary facilities with a very nicely built and decorated bungalow.
Good location, private beach, next to another great hotel Hamaquero with very good food and beach. The stuff is nice.
The shower was very thin, not possible to wash the hair.
The room was amazing, big, good AC!
The beach/water was beautiful and never crowded. The grounds were always nicely maintained and the servers/reception were friendly. I also liked that the hotel had their own dedicated boat to and from Cartagena.
Excellent value resort in beautiful Carribean Island. The hotel restaurant is terrific, every single meal was of a high standard. If anything we are impressed how good the cooking is for this remote location.
Hotel on island, no beach. Room and beds big and comfortable. Amenities in the bath room. AC worked good. Food very good. Staff supper friendly and helpful. They make the place nice.
