Excellent hotel. Very pleasant and serene. The staff is great and accommodating. The amenities are excellent. Food is delicious and convenient. You can order food, drinks or snacks from anywhere on the hotel grounds at your convenience. Keep in mind, as part of the hotel concept experience, they don’t provide hot showers. It’s more like a room-temperature shower. Some rooms have a shower under the open sky which is great but keep it in mind. Also something to note is that the island is not very walkable, you can go to surrounding hotels or beach clubs but not very far. Anything in between is not meant for tourists. Whereas not unsafe, just not much to do. If the weather is bad, boats don’t travel as frequently between the hotel and mainland. During sever weather, prepare to hunker down because all boat taxi service will be suspended until better weather. Otherwise, it’s an amazing experience. If you want a slow place to disconnect for 2-3 days - this is an amazing spot. PS: on the hotel beach typically there are activities provided by locals, like jet skis, boats, etc.

This hotel is luxurious in appearance. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are very comfortable. The downfalls however outweigh the positives. Our balcony did have a sea view as promised, but most of the view was of the check in building (privacy lacking) The food was hit or miss…we ordered a grilled boneless fish filet to be served a fried whole fish. We were told that was “boneless” and we were wrong. We also sat at dinner for 3.5 hours as you frequently have to flag down staff. It is VERY difficult to communicate if you speak minimal Spanish, so keep that in mind. You are provided with two small bottles of water in the room, but otherwise are charged $12,000 COP per bottle. There were a few stand-out staff members, but others were standoffish and seemed to be ignoring us. In summary: great for insta pics, not for those looking for a true luxury experience for the price.
