The property is a maravilla but they have to improves a.lot is my first time in my own Country but in tourism they are so far ... Chek in too much time compare with others resorts people recommend Decameron resorts the property is wonderfull the rooms excellent the food very good no complain about it but the procedure with the staff has to change is not the workers cause they always try to help we think is the administration. Any way we pass and excellent time cause the place is beatifull nothing is perfect over all when you compare Colombia with resorts in Mexico Aruba even Dominic Republic those places you get there chek in take a least 15 to 30 min maximum Decameron 1 hour that means something is wrong.

Our main issue was that our room had bedbugs. They moved us after some insistence, but that was it. No apologies or follow up. The front desk staff doesn't seem to care ar all. We even had the "plus" upgrade which made no difference. The pools and beach are lovely. Restaurant staff so friendly and great. Food is very average. Lifeguards are on a massive power trip and make things pretty unpleasant as they are constantly blowing the whistle for one reason or another. They will not let you even put your feet in the ocean after 6 pm, which seems completely crazy. Lots of iguanas and racoons, racoons come into the restaurant which seems really gross and dirty.

2/10 Poor

This place is 90’s timeshare! I wasn’t thrilled with the food, drinks, and overall the entire hotel. Food is horrible, the two “special places” the Asian and Italian you need to be up by 7am to make a reservation. We opted for the Asian. Sushi horrible, pre wrapped, the fish ok and the rice too. This is not a 3 star hotel. I will never book another vacation there. Check in a nightmare, transportation to airport was another nightmare. This is only for nationals that are used to crowded places and it wasn’t cheap! It was truly a huge disappointment.

El check in es terriblemente largo (2 horas esperando) solo tienen 2 personas en eso y muchos viajeros. Querían cobrarme a mí nena de dos años, cuando la política en expedía dice que se cobran a partir de 3 años, sin embargo la persona de check in no lo sabía y tardo mucho averiguando. El lugar es un paraíso, lástima que el servicio al cliente no es el mejor, desde meseros, recepción, hasta el mismo doctor que no apoya en emergencias. Sin embargo la belleza del lugar estando ya dentro puede llegar a cubrir estos temas, porque la playa es hermosa, las instalaciones, la fauna y estar ahí es bello.

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.

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 entrance to this property is unsafe. Its a 30 minute drive in an unpaved road. The hotel doesn't inform you about this and it's a scary experience.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

The place is beautiful, nice private beach area, calm water. Lots of wild life, staff is great and willing to help. It was mostly local tourism the days we were there. The place is very expansive, lots of walking and no elevators, wouldn't work for older people or parents with small children on strollers. Cartagena traffic is crazy, don't even think about renting a car. The last 6 km are on a dirt road which turns really bad when it rains. The entertainment team is very busy, lots of activities.

4/10 Fair

My travel to this hotel was in April 2023. Standard room was ok until raccoon’s got into the air duct above our room and started to mate at 5am. The reception area was nice enough to switch our room but given that we were only there for 2 nights, one night was very uncomfortable. The food is below poor average. The reviews I read prior to booking are exactly correct. But I decided to give them a chance. I have stayed in all inclusive resorts before but this does not stand a chance. Also note, The beach area is rocky and small. Wouldn’t recommend. Pay extra and stay at Sofitel on the opposite side which I also stayed in March 2023. You will love it. Now, they really know cuisine and impeccable service!
