Amazing, island resort. Big property with a lot of things to do onsite. Jungle, treetop accommodations for 10/10. High-end resort, so only downfall would be prices if you are looking for something for cost-friendly

Hotel has cool rooms and you get around the island with bikes. Food is good, breakfast included. It’s a bit overpriced given some of it looks a bit rough around the edges. Staff are ok, but service needs an improvement. We went to the other little island by boat to sunbathe by the pool as areas in the sun are limited by the main beach. We took 8 litres of water with us for our 3 night stay as we read other reviews saying you can only by $8 water bottles when there. This is a must if you want to stay hydrated and not have a massive bill!! The only free water you get is a small jug in your room each day, even at breakfast there is no free water. They say they are on of the world’s most sustainable hotels, but the only water available is San Pellegrino shipped in glass bottles from Italy… that’s not at all sustainable!

Beautiful place with amazing staff, but tainted by the ‘drinking water’ and being very ill for a week. In our hut we had a mini bar (with v expensive bottles of water). There were water jugs of iced water with glasses next to it in the room. Everyone knows not to drink the tap water but surely I could drink the water that they refreshed daily in the room? It appears not. I was extremely ill from drinking this. The onsite doctor gave me medication and suddenly we were brought cartons of drinking water!! Why on earth were we not automatically given these? Not only did this experience ruin 3 of my 4 days at the hotel, but my journey back to the UK via Bogota was hideous. It has taken me a week to recover. Although my husband didn’t get ill both friends of ours, who we crossed over with for a day, were also ill in the same way. Locals coming on holiday here I have no doubt would be ok with the water but to not supply safe drinking water automatically for everyone is a huge oversight. It rendered the stay a complete waste of money! We were unable to enjoy the hotel to its’ fullest.. what a shame.

I would not recommend this hotel. The idea of having your own pool and bungalow sounds nice, but the pool and patio is dirty. The doors in the bungalow are not easily opened. They are also covered w thick wood shutters so you can’t see the ocean from inside your bungalow. The property needs a good cleaning and sweeping every where.

Overall guest experience did not meet our standards for a 5 star resort. Our check-in was 2.5 hours late, due to what we were told was a faulty room issue, however it later transpired our original room was given to another couple who found the "isleta" rooms (there's a main island resort and a smaller island with a handful of rooms) too loud due to the party boat noise. We were told we were upgraded but in fact it was the opposite: the rooom was exactly the same but with loud noise, the "Isleta" restaurant aleo had significantly less choice than the main island. We always value transparency however felt rather betrayed the way the overall communication from reception was handled, no one at any stage apologised. The quality of the food was poor, fish was over cooked and pasta very over cooked, most dishes were poorly seasoned. For the price we paid for dinner (on average $150 USD per couple) was far too much for the quality we recieved. We felt the restaurant lacked a competent chef running the pass as we were shocked they allowed food to sent to tables like that. On checkout we had two spa treatments and a lunch meal on our bill which were not ours, it transpires it was the room who they swapped when we check-in but had still remained on our bill. Overall staff were very charming but serious lack of management and a competent executive chef. Be mindful of booking a room on the "isleta", the day boat partys are very loud and can still be heard is side cabins.

Very nice place. The trees house was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good. The staff was nice. The drinking water should be provided free for to all guests. Some renovations are needed.

Nice hotel, good food and service. The beach is also ok, although it is not turquoise water or crystal clear. My partner and I stayed in a bungalow in Isleta, which is a private island, part of the hotel. To get there, you must take a short boat ride. Although we had a good time, it’s definitely not deserving of 5 stars. It is more of a four star hotel. Also, the hotel tried to scam us upon check out. The hotel tried to charge $600 US dollars to our room for charges we did not make. This left a bad taste in our mouth and as a result, I would not recommend staying here. We literally had to ask for an itemized bill and go through each charge in order to dispute the fictitious charges. Once I asked to speak with a manager and argued the fraudulent charges they finally agreed to deduct them from our bill. We asked for an explanation and a response from management but to date have not received one. Although it is reputed to be the best hotel in the area, I would hot recommend this hotel. If you do decide to stay here, make sure you take a picture of every receipt and bill at the restaurants and bars. I assure you they will also try to scam you. It is a real shame. For this reason, I am giving this hotel one star.

Las Islas is amazing. The boat ride from Cartagena was easy and once there, it’s everything you’d hoped for. The food was fantastic, as were the drinks. From fruit to seafood, everything is fresh and expertly prepared. Their private island (in addition to the island you’re on) is worth a day trip. And it’s all extremely walkable, though you can call for a golf cart anytime and it’s there in a couple minutes if you need it. You won’t regret the stay. We’ll be coming back!

Las Islas bungalows are gorgous but the property is over grown and is located ina dangerous / extremely poor and terribly difficult place to get to. If you stay on the island the food is horrific. Breakfast is a complete joke at this price point. The bungalows on the water are very nice but they are starting to become out of repair - we had to move from unit 66 because it was close to the party island next door with loud music playing all day and the restaurant next door which is horrific. We moved to unit 62 but then the AC did not work. Moved to Tree House on mainland and there is no view / just in the branches. The road into the facility is DANGEROUS do not attempt to drive and filled with people trying to rob and beg and stopping traffic etc. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

This is a very cool resort on a lush jungle island. Most of the rooms are treehouse bungalows, and there are a few waterfront bungalows with infinity pools. Not really a desitnation to bring kids, more a romantic getaway. Will definitley return.
