Staff were fantastic and very attentive / helpful and sympathetic. The place itself is just wonderful: Nice design, super clean, very private, especially once the day guests are gone. Food is also very good.

The hotel is amazing, with a great view of the blue sea. The staff were more than friendly and the food delicious. The greatest part was jumping into de see from the Dock. The hotel is perfect to be calm and relax for a few days, it is a great place to take out the stress.

The staff was simply amazing; extremely welcoming, warm, friendly and fun! The also have a dive center at the premises, which made it very comfortable to organize some dives during our stay there; the diving team was equally helpful and friendly. The accommodation (as described) is very rustic and spartan. But if you are fine with that, then I would recommend this place and the island in general for a typical Colombian Caribbean experience :)

We were overwhelmingly grateful and delighted with our stay at the EcoHotel. Our visit was nothing short of extraordinary. What stood out the most was the exceptional service, particularly from Lau and Caro. Moreover, the prices are very reasonable, and they offer a delicious menu (make sure to try the "cazuela de mariscos"). From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly special. They upgraded our room at no extra cost and were very attentive to our needs.
A highlight for us was celebrating my sister's birthday during our stay. The hotel graciously treated us to a cocktail and some pancakes for the occasion, a gesture that was greatly appreciated. Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend this place. It's a beautiful spot with an extraordinary view. Lastly, we highly recommend the bioluminescence tour!
Sincerely,
Mr. C

Some of the staff were beyond amazing, others were dreadful. The best were so attentive to guests, too bad the guy controlling the music doesn't think guests were sleeping when he blasted the music. And, they played music the staff liked, very vulgar and offensive music the guests didn't appreciate and told him to turn it off.

The trip is too long, you go with a fast boat that is not comfortable at all. High speed, jumping the waves, it gave me a headache once we arraigned to Cartagena from isla grande.
I think the island is not worth it, I recommend instead a full day excursion to baru from Cartagena.

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.
The location on Isla Grande is really gorgeous, the staff is phenomenal. Everyone was really friendly and helped us with any questions we had. The dining staff made my husband's birthday dinner very special! The room was extremely clean. The pool is really refreshing, and the bar offers great drinks. I liked the hammocks sprinkled all over the property, and the daybeds on the waterfront. We loved visiting the Enchanted Lagoon (accessible across a rather adventurous "bridge" over the mangroves).
A great place if you want to stay on the island. It is basic and rustic, but the whole island is except from the overpriced hotels like this.
The host was extremely welcoming and nice. The facilities are well taking care of. The included breakfast is convenient as it is not too easy to find restaurants and stores around. The private beach access through a different property is amazing and maybe the best non tourist spot on the whole island.
Excellent stay. Friendly and hospitable staff. The food was delicious and generous portion sizes. We only stayed a night as we spent most of our time on Cartagena, I wish we had stayed longer! Hotel Coralina offers a few excursions around the island. You can also snorkel right of some of the docks. The host Pierre made sure to check on us and see to it that we were enjoying our stay. Overall it was a very relaxing and wonderful stay.
We stayed in the "Mojito" room, the view was absolutely amazing from the front porch! You could snorkel just by swimming out from the hotel. We had a cold water jacuzzi on our back porch which was nice but there were issues using it. There was one staff member, Jose, who genuinely seemed to care about helping us during our stay. Jose even came to our room after 9 pm when the water stopped working and was able to resolve it.
The host, Jorge, was fantastic. The rooms were clean, big and very nicely finished. Each has a Bose portable Bluetooth speaker to use around the property. The private spaces for the hotel guests such as the pool area and on top of the roof of the rooms were really nice. The setting itself is amazingly beautiful with pelicans flying around and diving for fish in front of you as you watched the sun setting. Simply stunning.
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 hotel grounds are lovely and the family and caretakers were always ready to help us with any needs. The food was good, and the parrot was a fun companion! We decided to stay 2 extra nights and were upgraded into a lovely room (Casa Grande) with hammocks on the terrace. The location is a short walk from several beaches (Playita, Playa LIbre, Playa Tranquila), but be prepared for a hot and dusty walk home.
Hotel coralina island is an amazing place to relax and spend some time snorkelling, doing SUP or kayak and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The staff was exceptional, friendly and always very helpful. The food although on the expensive side was really good. We were staying on the calm side but had access to the beach side.
Nice quiet place on Isla Grande, for people who wish to enjoy nature and the peace of the island. Super friendly staff. Loved my cabin, nothing beats a sea view from your own hammock ;-) Nice facilities around the premises to relax and plenty of excursions on offer if you want to be active.
Lovely locally-owned hotel in a great location on Isla Grande. Hotel had lots of low-key charm and was decent value relative to other similar places since it includes all meals. Food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay!
We loved Rosario eco hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. The view from our room was amazing. My girls had a great time. We enjoyed the delicious coffee. Food was good. Loved the fresh fruit and sea food. We will definitely recommend this hotel
We loved the Eco-Hotel! The location was stunning! The staff were topnotch. We loved the mission of Centro Ubunto and really felt welcomed and engaged with the community there. The EcoTours were great and the food was so fresh.
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.
Really authentic stay on Isla Grande. Manual water managemen, taking a shower with a bucket -- but that's OK and real! Guy took three of us on an extremely good snorkeling tour. Really personal.
Large and very nice rooms, including terrace with hammock and sea view
Very clean and big hotel area, feels like private island after 3pm
Friendly staff
Nice food at the hotel restaurant
Great location, nice and calm hotel. We loved this compared to the options of the more "party" places in Rosario. Beautiful sea view and friendly staff. Food was pretty good also.
