Had a wonderful stay. It was the middle of Nov and we had the resort to ourselves. Not too many day trippers. Several tips. Bring bug spray at sunrise and sunset they are out. The sea is clear only when it is not windy. All water is brought to the resort by a boat tanker. If the resort tank is low so is the pressure and limited hot water.

For the price we paid per night ($600 for a family of 4), the food was really pretty poor. It was disappointing and the worst we had on our 3 week trip to Colombia. No options for kids. We were told every lunch would be buffet, only one out of four ended up being buffet. We were given the a la carte menu to choose from, whilst this may sound appealing, there was only one starter and four mains. Fish was terrible, such a shame for being on an island. Every night, you had to endure the music from the village. One night it went on until 4am. I would recommend staying on the smaller islands where the water is clear and calm.

We booked this hotel for two days, the food was good but there were bed bugs in the bed. After checking out my girlfriend and I were full of red spots, we tried to call the hotel and explain the receptionist said we can do nothing but we can recommend you to go to the doctor, I mean for 350$ a night what’s that for service.

Amazing get away resort. Food and drinks are outstanding. Special shoutout to Lewin, Silvio and Alvaro. Ammenities on this resort are above similar properties. Beach is not the biggest and due to its location and depending on weather, the water can get mixed up and not be as turquoise as other beaches in the area.

We had a nice stay at Hotel Islas del Encanto. It may not be for everyone. The rooms are very clean and the beds are quite nice by American standards (and we are picky). The bathrooms in most rooms are semi-outside but private, so not air conditioned or enclosed from bugs, but really there were few mosquitos. The staff are super friendly although not all have great English, but they are so nice it makes up for it. The biggest drawback would be the limited beach as they send you on a boat trip if you want a better beach, and limited activities. The saltwater pool is really nice with a waterfall and swim-up bar, and there is plenty of filtered water. The other drawback is the food is all included in the price (not drinks, but that was well warned), but the food is so-so. We ate much better in Bogota and Cartagena, like juices did not seem fresh squeezed for instance, breads were doughy, etc. But very relaxing and quiet and if you have rustic expectations you will enjoy it. Sunsets over the ocean are spectacular! Also do the aviary tour and the plankton tour, but negotiate on price as they know they are overcharging!

Really boring no entertainment at all after 7pm is like a dessert you have to go to the room, because you can’t leave the island. The drinks menu they tell you one price and the menu says another price, they told us the menu was wrong. Is 1 hours 30 minutes away from everywhere. The water is not blue like in the pictures.
