Great place for get away from the city, excellent food and rooms are comfortable and clean. Very professional staff specially Maria on the reception welcoming area and Martin our waiter he was very friendly and willing to help. The only bad thing it’s the boats who comes on a daily basic full of people and crowds the beach otherwise it’s a nice place.

We left took so much time to even get help with staff on how to arrive bus or boat since August I tried with them. We had to book a boat that cost so much and then food was so limited barely any. We left after the upstairs peoples made insane noise til 3 with moving tables and chairs and kids screaming

We were unable to make our stay at this hotel so have not rated any amenities apart from service which was incredibly poor - I am still awaiting a response to 5 messages sent to the hotel. In order to attempt to communicate with the hotel I completed a trip advisor review which was responded to in 20 minutes in which the hotel claimed to have no communication with myself or hotels.com. I had sent 5 messages to their hotel team from the e-mail on the website and hotels.com had spoken to front desk more than once. The rating is for very bad customer service and total lack of transparency.

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.

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 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!

Hotel Isla del Encanto provided an idyllic beach getaway with direct beach access. I loved the relaxing and peaceful hotel atmosphere. The bungalows were clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. Good variety of options at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

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.

10/10!!! This place is pure paradise. The food is amazing, the staff is amazing, and the excursions are awesome. The staff will treat you like royalty and the best part is the hotel is secluded.

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.

The room was lovely . Very clean , really cool outdoor shower. The guests only pool was really great and the hotel grounds were well maintained Like others mentioned , the water is a bit murky and green, not clear blue it is still calm and pretty. We loved using the free paddle boards and kayaks . We didn’t love having day trippers take over the beach at 10-2 so we went to the pool during that time . There are some people selling jet ski rides and jewelry near the beach but they mostly wait for you to approach them . Lovely views from the restaurant . They have a few vegetarian options that were tasty. We had an issue with the server and the vegetarian food that was resolved quickly and very kindly by the manager of restaurant and hotel. We loved the snorkel trip . It was so lovely. We hope in the future the guides would talk about importance of conservation and remind people not to step on the coral . Our son 11 year old loved this place and we liked it . We would return . It was overall a nice relaxing place to spend time .
