The staff were amazing and the hotel was really quiet and relax.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful, small island resort. Nice for a 1-2 day stay. Peaceful and relaxing. Staff was amazing. The rooms could be a little cooler from the heat, but overall a great experience
Austin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Entire staff was excellent. Since it’s such a small boutique resort they really catered to us. Even remembering how we took our cafe con leche. Food was excellent as well. Loved our room and hearing the waves crash through the night

Amazing small Hotel

The Stay in this new Hotel was amazing. In the Hotel, there is not much to do but there are a lot of boats and Jetskis that pass the Hotel where you just can book something. The Staff was amazing, they also organised me a pick up at the Cartagena Airport.

I had the honor of being the first guest to stay here!! It was absolutely beautiful! The staff was amazing! I can’t wait to come back!

Romantic getaway

Great place and highly recommend it. The staff are wonderful and it is a peaceful place for the most part. The rooms are hot however and there is an AC but it has a hard time to keep up with temperatures and the fact that the rooms are not sealed. This is a plus for breezes which is amazing but hot otherwise. A beautiful getaway with my wife. Some of the staff speak some English and I could also try to practice my Spanish a bit.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun and water. The food made on the property was absolutely incredible. The rooms are beautiful, new, and spacious. The entire property is beautiful and feels like a hidden paradise. I would highly recommend staying at Soy Local Islawa for your time in Baru!

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely secluded hotel in great condition. We loved our stay here! We missed more vegetarian options on the menu, but the staff were kind to adapt the dishes. The food sometimes took quite long to arrive. Furthermore, it would have been nice to offer some complementary water or larger bottles at a cheaper price than 10,000 pesos for 0,50 liters.

5 stars

The Islawa site photos accurately reflect the spectacular setting and beautiful rooms. A tropical sanctuary. Impeccable service! Make sure you get in touch with the hotel before arrival, you will definitely require short boat transportation which adds to the exclusivity
Jason, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a fantastic time of 2 nights at SOY Local Islawa. Prior to our arrival, the hotel contacted us via app to see how we had arranged our trip to the location and we were given a number of options. Accommodation is only accessible by boat, which was offered free of charge. Our room was really fantastic. Cool by the Arco, clean, lovely bed and a very large nice shower. Kayak is free to use. Menu card was played out for us after 2 days. Lunch and dinner the same. Drinks are delicious! Warm welcome with a welcome drink. We missed it very quickly. A real dream location. Marlon and his Colleagues served us perfectly.
Jacqueline, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property with potential but with terrible service from food to amenities. No Kayaks or Paddle… you have water access but the sand is not clean from construction debris. Also you are going to need to hire services that are expensive to actually do something fun.

Hospitalidad impecable en un lugar de ensueño

Tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa en el Hotel Islawa. El entorno es precioso, el hotel muy acogedor y la comida deliciosa. El servicio fue excepcional, especialmente Alberto, quien estuvo siempre atento y amable. Todo el equipo fue increíblemente considerado cuando nuestro hijo tuvo una reacción alérgica: se volcaron por completo para ayudarnos y todo salió muy bien gracias a ellos. Estamos muy agradecidos y con muchas ganas de volver. ¡Gracias por todo!

adlay evelyn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

El lugar es muy bonito, las habitaciones limpias, bonita la decoración y muy cómodas. En comida tiene mucho por mejorar. El tema del silencio no es tan así porq es el paso de las lanchas a Cholon entonces desde temprano se escucha el ruido y el olor a gasolina de las lanchas y jet sky.

ARNAQUE : A FUIR

L’hotel n’a pas envoyé le transfert que nous avions commandé. Quand nous avons eu le gérant au téléphone pour essayer de prendre un Uber jusqu’au bateau, il était très agressif et n’a pas confirmé le bateau. Nous n’avons pas pu accéder à l’hôtel et avons dû booker en urgence un autre hôtel à 20h30. Évidemment ils refusent de nous rembourser. PIRE EXPÉRIENCE
