Very beautiful and luxurious property, the beach is small but gorgeous, the many pools and attention to detail are a nice touch. Food is delicious albeit more expensive than the other hotel we stayed at (to be expected in a luxury hotel).

The service here is top tier. They were so accommodating and ensure that each guest receives the best service.
Beautiful beach, gorgeous hotel, great service & helpful staff. Always travel by boat, since it’s a not nice ride from Cartagena and can have blocked access.

Great resort hotel with nice beach. Family friendly. Breakfast is amazing. Just wished transportation (by car) from airport to the hotel to be in better condition. Boat transportation not always fits with flights schedule.

EXCELLENT HOTEL… a bit overpriced but staff attention made it count… Access is peculiar, as the dirt road leading to the hotel hasn’t been developed. Otherwise, a SPECTAULAR hotel with amazing views and amenities.
Pools are over the top. Food was excellent!

This is probably one of the best hotel reaper experiences I’ve had to date. The customer service is superb. They literally wait on you hand and foot. The food is delicious at Calablanca. The free activities are endless and then the resort itself is very clean, beautiful, peaceful and very modern. 1000/1000
