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.

This property was beautiful. The only thing I didn't like was not having a free option of transportation off of the island when i wanted to go explore. However the overall stay was nice and the staff were very kind. Also make sure to take bug spray the mosquitoes were very bad and I got bit up alot.

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.

A truly wonderful few days at this gorgeous property. The boat ride to the property from Cartagena was a beautiful one hour trip. Welcome drinks and friendly staff greeted us upon arrival. Our villa overlooking the pool and sea was modern and comfortable with very quiet and effective air conditioning, that was necessary as the afternoon heat was impressive. Three meals per day are included and they were tasty, well prepared and large portions that were served by friendly staff. Note that alcohol is NOT included in the rate, so be prepared to pay extra for any cocktails or wine. The neighboring village was a bit loud at night as the street party went until the early morning hours, but it was a LOT more quiet than the street parties in Cartagena. Overall a great spot that was very well maintained, relaxing with great food and great service. We would highly recommend for a relaxing escape after busy days being a tourist in Cartagena.

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!

Fantastic Family Stay

We stayed here for 4 nights after a bunch of adventure travel around the Cartagena area. We are a couple with a 2 year old. This was a perfect ending for our trip. The place is immaculate, our kiddo didn't wear shoes the entire time. Rodolfo and Samuel, as well as William and Mayra were SENSATIONAL at the restaurant- they helped us ensure we had meals that worked with our toddler's midday nap, and vegetarian options galore. They really came up with so many delicious veggie options. Our room was spacious and clean, beautiful view. The whole hotel was a great balance between family-friendly and not just-for-kids. I could see coming here as a couple just as comfortably. The pools were so comfortable and lovely. We also went and did a family photoshoot with the onsite photographer- it was so efficient with great and easy results. It was such a fantastic stay, and just the right amount of intimacy and luxury. I see some complaints here about noise from the neighboring town- while we did hear it faintly some nights, it was really not an issue. We travel with a sound machine, and never even plugged it in. Highly highly recommend.

MacAdam

Family of four (two adults, two kids- 8 and 11) from California stayed four days. Really nice location, nice pools, felt very safe. Nice rooms. Beautiful grounds. However, the all-inclusive at Hotel Encanto appeared to our family to mean "all- mediocre." There is no drinking water onsite from the faucets or from water filtration systems. The resort provides one, ten oz. bottle of water at breakfast, one at lunch and one at dinner. Period. Beyond those thirty ounces of drinking water per person, per day, you have to buy. For a 500 mL bottle (about 17 ounces) they charge about two dollars. For a family of four, this significantly added up over the course of our stay. It was also just kinda of philosophically insulting for a "four star resort." Good side: great bartenders. Super knowledgeable, great drinks. These folks know how to make exceptional cocktails. Disappointment: the food. Very limited options, and guess what? No other options. There is no where else to go anywhere geographically, to eat a different meal. If food is not a big deal to you, then this should not dissuade you. Skip the snorkeling tour (really), and make sure you don't want to cut your trip short. By day three we asked to leave the island- no refunds and a private boat costs $400. We stayed our final day. For the prices they are charging, I would advise folks to head to Mexico or Costa Rica for much better options at the same price point.

This is located on an island so the only way to get here is via boat. You can travel via car but not as convenient, you still need the boat to get from car to island. It is very peaceful, staff very friendly. Expedia mislead us to say it was all inclusive which isn't true. They only cover 3 meals a day but you have to pay for lunch when you arrive. The food quality is weaker than the walled city but comparably more expensive. Alcohol is not included. The entire experience was very relaxing and quiet. This was probably the best part.
