Hotel Las Islas - Barú

I loved staying on the private island! Email was the most gracious host on the private island! And Anderson, our boat captain was superb. Our room had its own pool and a nice yard are a very look the party island where you’d see yachts come daily. Our hotel was super comfy and very secure with a camera for you to see who was outside your door. Our bathroom had a luxe toilet which was more than a bidet. Lady D was one of our waitresses at dinner and breakfast and she was absolutely delightful. It very much is a piece of paradise. Can’t say enough… I even tried the hydrofoil which was amazing. The food is delicious - our breakfast was my favorite. Next time I plan to use their helicopter service since it’s quite a drive from Cartagena. Can’t wait to return.

We visited Hotel Las Islas on our Honeymoon. Some aspects were great and others not as much. It is a beautiful place but overall not a great value. We stayed on Las Isla in a bungalow, which was absolutely beautiful. The room and the view were fantastic. But, during the day, people would drive up in jet skis attempting to sell us on a ride. Over the course of 3 days, this likely happened over 50 times. Other times jet skiiers or boats with inflatables would just float in front of the bungalow. Some of the drivers seemed to live nearby while others may have been from the nearby Cholon island where loud pop music would blast for most of the day.||Some of the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. While others seemed somewhat upset to be there. The excursions were nice but very expensive relative to other costs. The same with food. Bottled water was $8 USD and drinking tap water is unadvisable.||The hotel is fairly large with 50+ bungalows on land and another 10 on the Isla. So while the hotel is remote, the restaurant areas and beaches were fairly full which gave the hotel more of a large resort feel rather than private get away.||Some of the positives were the bungalows, natural grounds, beautiful views, and power telescope on the clubhouse with a friendly astrologist. ||Overall, beautiful location but hit or miss service and may not deliver on the value relative to the price.

Stayed here for 3nights in December 2024. The environment and concept is nice, situated within a very green environment and some/most rooms have great views. The hotel feels older than its age due to poor maintenance. We had a jacuzzi, but one that didn’t work. The main pool was closed. Water supply dropped during our stay, telephone system didn’t work most of the time, neither did the communication system to indicate privacy/cleaning etc… AC would stop working sometimes. Service is chaotic, we had to wait for 35mins for a coffee and an omelette during breakfast at some point and some of the staff seem to be working against their will, while others were very friendly. We wouldn’t recommend or go back. Nowhere near international standards at this price range, definitely not 5*, but not the worst either.

This was the coolest hotel that I have ever stayed at. We were lucky enough to stay in one of the tree house room as well as one of the beach front rooms on the island. Both were unique amazing experiences. Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. ||The hotel prioritizes conservation as it is in a national park and they also prioritize hiring staff from the local Baru island population to help the community that they are in.

We went here for our honeymoon and don’t get me wrong it’s very beautiful, but if there’s ANY chance of rain do not go. Impossible to get around (typically on bike) and our whole bungalow was flooded. Also felt like the thunder was in the room. We found ants in the cookies they provided us with as well as lizards and critters everywhere. After two nights we decided we needed to change it up, and asked for a refund or credit which they didn’t provide for two nights but we still left. Would never go back and frankly do not recommend.

We had an awesome experience at the Hotel! The Staff was super friendly, good food and overall great amenities, the gym is well equipped too. Also, they have telescope 🔭 and Juan the astronomer was super friendly, we even got to see Saturn. Superb Experience and will definitely recommend.

Had a bungalow with an infinity pool over the sea, which was lovely. The problem is that the shutters didn't close letting in light at 5 am. Noisy ice machine. Noisy fan. Even with earplugs, my sleep was disturbed. Not acceptable or good enough!. The swimming pool was not cleaned and full of leaves . Basics not covered The upside is. Amazing facilities, restaurants, and bars. Helicopter to take you to Cartagena. Yoga, massage, and perfect beaches. A tropical getaway with string security

This is one of the best hotels I being ever ! If you are looking for peace, good service, good food and new adventures and experiences this is your place, I just gave them 4 start because they do a lot of works and maintenance during the day, we couldn’t use the pool and some of the installations because were under maintenance so I subjected them to try to do it during the night so in the morning everything is ready for the guests but definitely this is one of the best vacations ever ! Make sure you don’t go with an uber or driving by yourself, it’s kind of dangerous, the roads are really bad and the people around are a bit aggressive trying to stop you from the middle of the street or chasing your car to try to sell you something. Better take the boat or the helicopter, the hotel offers (for no cheaper prices) but at least safer than the Road ! The owner of the hotel should do something to make easy access to the hotel by car also or consider a cheaper prices at least for the boat because it’s a shame such a great paradise and so difficult access to the installations! Something that is very import they highly CARE ABOUT NATURE !
