Isla Amor

Maravilloso lugar

We had a great time. The property has two residences. The chefs/cleaners are in a house at the back. They were really great. Especially great cooks! We provided the groceries and they cooked in the outside kitchen to perfection and cleaned after each meal. For us, it was all authentic Colombian food, which is what we wanted.The location is great. The chefs also helped with connecting us to fishermen, etc. Had great lobster delivered to our dock for our chefs to prepare one night. A short paddle down the shoreline in the provided kayaks will take you into a series of saltwater lakes that are connected by winding canals through mangrove forests. Amazing! Also, a 20 minute walk will take you to a cove that has biolumenescent plankton you can swim with at night. Spectacular! A five minute walk will take you to a public beach for easy swimming with children. We also arranged for a boat ride down the coast to see the sunset. As with most Colombian homes, there is no hot water, but it is luke-warm, so showers are actually refreshing.A small village with several restaurants and VERY small grocery shops is only a 10 minute walk away. We brought a fair amount of groceries with us from Cartagena since the food selection locally is limited. I would recommend doing that, but make sure you arrange with your transportation to carry the extra cargo with you to the island.Loved our stay! Highly recommend, especially if you are a bit adventurous.
