"I really loved this stay! The island was very nice, I loved being able to immerse myself in nature. I saw wild parrots too! The island is very walkable, and there is a little store next door with sodas and chips, which we enjoyed.
The room was very spacious and we enjoyed the outdoor hammock. The dogs were super friendly and so were the cats! The fan was enough to keep us cool, and the shower was great for if you get hot. Check-in was smooth and we were offered a place to store our luggage at...

"This is a great alternative to the hotels that are on the island. But it is an econo Lodge. Meaning limited power and water. It does give a real feel for the colonial living of the island. And for my overnight stays between diving it fit the need."

"After booking, we repeatedly messaged the hotel for directions and only got a reply at 7:55am on check-in day, telling us the only boat left Cartagena at 8:15am. No way to make it. They then sent a contact for a 9am boat costing 90k + 30k port tax, though cheaper 70k options exist. Given boats run only until 9am and transport can cost as much as two nights’ stay, this should be clearly stated before booking – we could easily have missed the first night.

2 nights-3 days. We missed staying another night. Great for a retreat escapade. Food was delicious. Our bungalow very well equipped with good amenities, private pool, sea view (beautiful sunsets).
We enjoyed viewing Saturn, Jupiter and the moon through the telescope at the club house in addition to the bioluminiscent night experience in Cholon.

Staff were mediocre. Island was beautiful! Transportation was a little unsafe. They drop you at the dock without parking the boat. They always seem in a hurry. I recommend to arrange transportation with the hotel not outside boats.

I recently had an amazing stay at Tijereto. It was a fantastic experience, and here's why:
Comfort: The rooms are cozy and inviting. The bed was super comfortable, and I had everything I needed.Free Wi-Fi, made my stay easy and enjoyable.
Beaches: The hotel is right by the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. The soft white sand and crystal-clear blue waters were stunning. I could easily access the beach and enjoy lounging on comfy chairs with umbrellas.

Just a short ride away from Cartagena, this hotel is in a premium location in Barú. The hotel staff was excellent and food was great. The facilities are superb. A great place to visit and relax.

It was a wonderful stay from start to finish. Service was incredible, food delicious, rooms amazing. Only downside was that I didn’t think to bring bug repellent. Mosquitos were bad early am and evening so we were unable to use our balcony at all and had to get out of the pool by 5:00pm. This was in November at the end of rainy season, so it makes sense that there were mosquitos, just an oversight on my part. Hope this tidbit helps someone be better prepared.

Wonderful overall experience. Sound proof rooms are a plus. Beautiful view of the ocean from my room. Beach front property and nice pools with hot tubs was great. Breakfast buffet offered various food options. Special thanks to Meredith from housekeeping and Luis who served us during breakfast.

I use this property to overnight when I was diving. The power is only on at night but the breeze and fan was adequate for getting us good night's sleep. The water is solid although I didn't trust it for drinking. The owners couldn't have been nicer and they included breakfast was good.

If you vacation plans include being in a relaxing place, straying the day with a healthy and delicious breakfast (which is included with your stay), steps from the beach, where beds, towels, drinks are available all day, the Fenix Hotel is the place for you. They can pickup you up at the La Bodeguita port and in 15 minutes you will be in paradise. Soliciting from local vendors is limited, compared to a stay in Cartagena so you have time to enjoy the Sun and the cam waters of the Caribe Sea. The...

First I am going to say 10/10 for a truly unique experience. The village is a real oasis to escape and reset from the everyday grind. It was exactly what I was looking for. The staff that work there are the stars of the show! We felt safe, well cared for even during a night when nature had other plans. The property was beautiful and well maintained but please bring mosquito spray, I would suggest the skin so soft brand worked like a charm for me (iykyk). The food was chef’s kiss, Tia prepared...

My boyfriend and I came here for two nights during the Christmas holiday. It’s an amazing place with beautiful facilities, nice lodging and helpful staff. We stayed in once of the huts which had an outdoor shower and also AC (much appreciated in Cartagena). We were assigned a table/daybed by the beach which was amazing (these are usually reserved for groups of 6). We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing by the sea. Food and drinks were reasonably priced, more so than anticipated, and drinks were great....

As a first time to Columbia traveler safety was a huge concern, I never felt more safe than when I was here.
The kitchen staff made me feel at home. Look for Jimmy he is always smiling and willing to help.
The front desk is very accommodating. As an English speaker with limited Spanish the front desk always found a way to make it work.
The views from hotel are amazing. At the end of the day sitting by the pool and talking with other guest was a tradition and a great way to plan what to do...

The property is very clean the staff is extremely helpful. The food served in the property is 5 stars. Some of the best food I’ve ate in Cartagena. The only downside was that the ocean tide was high and there was no beach area in front of the property.. I would recommend traveling there March -October to have a good beachfront! We just walked about 500 mtrs north for nice calm beach
