Isla Grande Apart Hotels

"Lovely, safe and intimate resort directly on the beach. great food. Friendly staff. Very nice room with a beautiful ocean view. Located in a great part of the city, Bocagrande. I travelled alone and felt safe walking the area day and night. A short Uber to the Walled City and Getsamani. The beach is incredibly busy. I have recommended this resort to many since I returned. "

"Super comfy beds, very modern small room, had a great view, 17th floor. Pool on 18th. Staff is incredible to make your stay comfortable. Perfect for one night in Bocagrande. "

"We went to the port on a Tuesday afternoon and it was easy to find the staff. They also communicate by WhatsApp. The boat rides went fine. The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful. If you want a second cup of coffee during the breakfast, you'll have to flag the staff down. The hotel room was good and we liked the bed. Lots of beach loungers with shade available during the midweek. Food was good, but a bit pricey. Beach was nice, the water could be rough if boats pass by. The water isn't as clear as the other islands but this one is much closer to the city. The resort dogs and cats were friendly. There are day pass visitors but we didn't feel like impacted the service level from the staff. We didn't like that the jet ski staff would ride into the designated swim spot. Seems like an accident could happen and it also makes the water quality worse. One thing to note about the property is that they asked for reviews from us several times. "

"My stay at Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort was absolutely incredible from start to finish. 🌟 The service was truly amazing — the staff went above and beyond at every moment and are honestly some of the best I’ve experienced anywhere. The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and very comfortable, with top-tier amenities throughout the resort. The beach and pool area were stunning, clean, and perfectly maintained — a true paradise. But what really stood out… THE FOOD — WOW. Every meal was exceptional, full of flavor, and exceeded expectations. From A to Z, this was a flawless experience. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for luxury, relaxation, and world-class service. I will definitely be back!"

"The game room was a hit for my kids after a long day!"

"It’s Great hosted all Good "

"Very beautiful hotel, staff could improve, satisfied with our stay"

"A great place to stay for a quiet and relaxing visit to the Rosario Islands. Ideal for families and travellers seeking a quiet and relaxing holiday. Catching the boat ferry from Cartagena was a bit chaotic and confusing, but that is the only complaint. "
