Hosts made me feel like I was part of their family and the place was out of a fairytale.
We had great food, great company and the private beach was packed with wildlife you would dream of seeing in an aquarium.
Wether you’re seeking for adventure, or looking for a place to chill with crashing waves as a soundtrack, this is it.
Thanks Pedro and Rebeca for an amazing time!

Clean and comfortable, very cute and recent cabins, a short walk to either playa libre or the more quiet community wharf and tiny beach. We ate there and had cocktails and it was all very good! Juan Pablo was very nice and answered all our questions and requests patiently and professionally.

Absolute paradise! I've never seen people so genuinely welcoming. From the moment the boat arrives until you set your foot on the outbound one - you are treated like family. Eric is incredible, everyone else is just as kind. We were a bit worried beforehand about going to a place that "has you" in terms of being locked in on an island. Don't be worried! These guys are the most hospitable folks you'll ever meet. I can't wait to be back there again, again and again. Kudos to the entire team - you guys are the best!

The beach and the pool were nice and well maintained. The place in itself is great and the hotel is a good location for pure relaxation. The food for lunch and dinner was very good (especially fish and seafood), but breakfast was limited. Rooms are OK but don’t expect anything luxurious or resort standing. Attention is OK.

The trip is too long, you go with a fast boat that is not comfortable at all. High speed, jumping the waves, it gave me a headache once we arraigned to Cartagena from isla grande.
I think the island is not worth it, I recommend instead a full day excursion to baru from Cartagena.

Loved the quiet and elegant boutique hotel vibe. The hotel was full of really lovely interesting guests and the staff were really welcoming and attentive.
We loved our stay there as quiet interlude to the fast pace of Cartagena.
If you're looking for party vibe then Coralina is not for you (head to Bora Bora). If you're looking for beautiful island shabby-chic luxury then Coralina is perfect.

Incredible place to rest, away from the tiresome sellspeople that crowd Playa Blanca and Barú offering from massages to wrist bands. Here you can actually REST, and do whatever you want to do, snorkeling, kayaking reading. Even work, if you must, the wifi connection was great at the hostel we stayed.
You can easily walk the island or do a round trip vía Kayak (3-4 hours aprox). The Mangle are really beautiful and that's a nice tour to have. The little village of Orika (1500 ppl) is really nice and peple are very kind with tourists. There were 2-3 restaurants that I can remember, but none looked tempting so we stayed with the Hostel restaurant for health sake. No need to improvise. :)
It's a small island perfect for introspection and sea sports as mentioned before. I'd say it's a mandatory visit if you go to Cartagena (hey, you can even sacrifice Playa Blanca without loosing too much, if you must prune a few days of your stay), but definitely try to visit the island. We travelled with 3 kids aged 16, 13 and 12. and 3 nights at the hostel hit the spot for them. More would have been a little too much for them.

This is the furthest island and honestly there’s nothing to do here. Specifically at this hotel, there was only two lawn chairs where the sun actually reached and the rest were always in the shade. And the two that were in sun were always occupied. The one time we did get to sit in them, the dock it’s on was not sturdy or secure. In fact the board under the chair broke as my friend was laying in it!! And the chair leg went towards the water.
The hotel itself had no beach so you had to walk 20 minutes to get there and it was not easily accessible by any means. All the other beaches were private and you had to pay for.
They offered theee excursions - I can’t speak to one. But the other two were scams.

It felt really remote but with everything you needed (be prepared, no A/C.
The Caipirinhas are FANTASTIC how they make them.
Kayaks pull up with cocktails from outside vendors. Adds a fun element.
Most nights they offered something to do after the day trippers left.

This is an island that is completely run for the profits of the beach resorts who cater almost exclusively to the day-trippers from Cartagena. This means that if you are not in one of these resorts your access to much of the island is restricted. For the most part, there are no evident access points into the interior of the island from these resorts and we found ourselves entering through service entrances to try to get the coast, or a bar and were often found trespassing. Some of these resorts are more welcoming than others and some charge an entry fee for non-guests. However, many of these resorts don't seem to have overnight guests and, therefore, shut up shop after 4pm so there is little-to-no evening activity on the island (and no street lights, so make sure to have a torch with you)
There are some fun and interesting activities to do on the island - enough to fill a day, but the limited access when staying there meant that we were very ready to leave after two nights.

Everything, the place is super beautiful, the sea is just out of this world!
The staff is amazing, especially Yuri, a very nice guy.
There only 6 rooms on the hotel, after 3 pm (time the tours leave) the hotel becomes really intimate and super nice.
During the day, there is loud music and beautiful sun.
At night, the music is ambient and calm.
The food is good and drinks also.
The pool area is simply amazing!
Darvin is very welcoming at hotel and its one of the best settings on the island - we had a wander round and compared. If you want a relaxing stay on Isla grande then this is the place. Most of the others are big hotels playing house music all day or the location is not as good. The food here is great and the activities are very fun, snorkeling just Infront of the hotel suited us as there are plenty of fish to see
The staff was absolutely amazing, super friendly, attentive and helpful. We loved the little tour they took us on to show us the local life on the islands.
The rooms are very modern with a nice patio where they serve you the breakfast.
Hotel guests get their own sun bed to relax on during the day.
Food was very delicious!
Nice quiet place on Isla Grande, for people who wish to enjoy nature and the peace of the island. Super friendly staff. Loved my cabin, nothing beats a sea view from your own hammock ;-) Nice facilities around the premises to relax and plenty of excursions on offer if you want to be active.
The Island is very nice, especially the close contact with the locals. Food is very tasty. Very well organized wrt beach beds and the division between day-trip tourists and guests staying at the hotel. A good variety of activities to chooce from.
