I went on a girls’ family trip to this hotel at the end of May, and I absolutely loved the experience. Food and drinks were decent while the staff was friendly and welcoming. One thing I strongly recommend is planning your arrival time carefully. Since the hotel is only accessible by boat, timing is key. Our flight arrived at Cartagena’s airport at 2 PM. From there, it took about 1 hour and 40 minutes to drive to Barú (where you catch the boat), followed by a 15–20 minute boat ride to the hotel. Sorting this out with the hotel was stressful BUT once we got on the boat, the vacation really began and it was worth it. To make up for the inconvenience, the hotel graciously offered us complimentary transportation from the airport and even included a tour of the islands which was a thoughtful and pleasant gesture. A couple of helpful tips: 1. In Colombia, most communication (including with hotels) is done via WhatsApp, so having the app is essential. 2. Breakfast is included, but it’s served early and feels a bit rushed, so make sure you’re up on time. Aside from those small things, our stay was amazing and incredibly relaxing. My family and I are specially grateful to the staff for their hospitality, aside from the beauty and relaxation from the hotel, the staff was the best part and we had a wonderful time💛

Our stay at Hotel Isla del Sol was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with warmth and friendliness, making us feel right at home. The location is unbeatable—crystal-clear waters, and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing. The rooms were clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated with a rustic charm while still offering all the necessary comforts. The food was another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and full of Caribbean flair. The water activities (like snorkeling and kayaking) were well organized and so much fun. If you’re looking to disconnect from stress and immerse yourself in natural beauty, Hotel Isla del Sol is the perfect getaway. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

We had a great time at Isla del Sol! It was very nice to be able to relax and unplug. All of the staff were so nice. I think it’s worth noting that while Google Maps shows that there are other restaurants in walking distance, they both appeared to be closed. There wasn’t really other food options, so the full board option may be the correct choice!

The property is clean and well maintained. The staff were professional, courteous, helpful, and responsive to most any reasonable request. There was a nice selection of meals and the food was prepared well. Now that there are different menus for those choosing the inclusive meal plan or the breakfast only plan. A variety of activities are available such as kayaking or paddle boarding. There is a small protected beach and a saltwater swimming pool. You can also swim in the open cove. Boats can be hired to visit the other nearby islands or go snorkeling. The island is walkable during the day. The are several other resorts within easy walking or kayak distance that you're free to visit to expand some activities or meet other people. We spent 3 days that were relaxing but not boring.
