Blue Apple Beach

Blue Apple Beach is our favorite place to visit when we are in Cartagena and need a fun, relaxing getaway. From the moment we step on their boat for the fast trip to the island, we know we’re in good hands. Well trained personnel, efficient planning and warm, friendly service - all details covered - we can kick back and enjoy ourselves. The resort is designed for comfort and fun. Tropical flowers and trees provide shade and a pleasant walk to and from rooms, pool, beach. The little cabanas along the beach are ideal for sunset drinks in cozy privacy. Our last visit as a family included 6 adults and 2 boys - 8 & 3 years old. The staff was friendly, professional, helpful and attentive to our many special requests. The boys specially enjoyed the small personal pools outside our cabanas. Drinks, food, music and tropical island vibe make you feel like you’re celebrating with your coolest friends. One of the many things I admire about this resort is their commitment to providing employment opportunities for island natives. Also, Green Apple, their environmentally responsible recycling and sustainability program. Life is short, go see how much fun it can be!

The ambience, the balanced attentiveness from the super friendly staff and the quality of the food and drinks were all outstanding. A really impressive range of choices at the bar or when dining. An impressive attention to detail in all areas. The rooms were excellently put together. Cool showers and chill out areas. Simply put we had one of the best holidays ever and feel utterly spoiled. Thank you!

We spent a magical two days here and decided that this was one of the best resort experiences we have ever had. The staff are friendly, engaging, and attentive (including the vivacious manager, Maggie). The food is imaginative, super-fresh and reflects local ingredients. The resort is a tropical oasis tucked behind a verdant mass of trees and shrubbery. And if this was not enough, the ethos is to support the local people with jobs and opportunities particularly groups that have been marginalized in the past. A+++. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful and relaxing beach club. Not overcrowded and the staff were awesome. Many thanks to Jesse, Fabian and Damon for taking care of us. Our night in one of their rooms was awesome as we had our own small pool and the beds were so comfortable we hated leaving them. Only advice is I would track what you order as they billed us for double shots but neither of us ordered doubles. Other than that the place is a great way to get out of Cartagena for the day.

Blue Apple Beach House was the perfect long-weekend get away. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The property was well- maintained with lots of beautiful plants and lots of places to sit/lay down and relax. The hotel also has a big focus on sustainability and is doing great work! We chose full-board since there weren’t a lot of other restaurants close on the island. We are so glad we did! The menu changed a little bit each day and everything was fresh and tasty. The boat transfers from Cartagena were very easy. They arrived on time (give or take a few minutes) and took us right where we needed to go. Not too crowded.

After a week 'roughing it' and backpacking across Colombia, I treated myself to two nights at Blue Apple and it was an absolute dream!!! Blue Apple's vibe is modern, sleek, sophisticated, and artsy (yet unpretentious). The staff are amazing and attentive. The rooms are gorgeous and well curated, with every amenity you could possibly need (powerful a/c, automated shades, espresso machine, yoga mats). I loved waking up to my name reserved on a poolside lounge chair, ready to indulge in delicious cocktails and food. I enjoyed the music and party vibes during the day, and relished the low-key evenings. The hotel's focus on sustainable products, renewable energy, and locally-grown food (there's a farm on the property!) was an added bonus. OH, and the town of Bocachica!! I did a 1-hour tour (via motorbike) with one of the local guides to see the nearby town (where many of the staff are from) and the old San Fernando fort, it was an eye-opening experience! I recommend the motorbike tour if you want to get outside of your comfort zone and go to a place that most tourists don't ever visit.

I went for the day. The food was amazing, and the cocktails strong 👌i recommend the cauliflower as a starter, it was delicious. At the entrance, the gentleman sells very good jewelry for a fair price. The beds by the beach are comfortable, but there are people who walk by trying to sell you stuff. It's a beautiful place to relax in, with friendly staff.

This was a fantastic day trip. The price includes a day before, two course meal, two drinks, a towel and the boat ride to and from the island. The food is exceptional and the drinks were yummy. The pool was great and the area is really funky. They had good tunes playing all day.
