Beautiful colonial hotel in the old city! The food is excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly and kind. We did not have time to book the spa although the tour of it looked sensational! Would return again

El Cielo is luxurious, beautiful, and hospitable! Friendly staff, excellent food, and wonderful accommodations.

Overall I enjoyed my stay at Las Islas Hotel. My husband and I stayed for 1 full day and 2 nights. This was a good amount of time for this resort. We stayed in a tree top bungalow, which was a very unique experience. The view was beautiful and the bungalow offered privacy and comfort. There was an outdoor hot tub for private use, although the hot water did not work well so we were not able to get much use out of it. For couples that are looking to spend majority of their time in their rooms, this is a good resort for that, as the rooms are very quiet, relaxing, beautiful and spacious. There is good air conditioning in the rooms which was nice because it is very hot and humid outdoors. The resort itself does not offer much activity that is inclusive. There is a small beach and pool included in the stay. There are excursions to do throughout the day at an extra cost. We were able to do most in the day that we were there, and enjoyed the activities. The massage was excellent. I was able to tell that the therapists were very knowledgeable of the anatomy and well practiced. I was also impressed by the food. Each meal service offered a variety of selections with options for meat, fish, vegetable, and pasta. Each dish had excellent flavor and was prepared well. I had a difficult time navigating the island. The signs and map are misleading and often times were inaccurate or contradictory of each other. The staff was friendly and quick to offer help or rides on the golf cart to desired locations when requested. We were offered use of bicycles to navigate the resort however the tires were all flat and the bikes did not appear safe to use. There appeared to be poor communication between the staff for reception, excursions, and restaurants as we were told contradictory things regarding timing and locations of the activities. The descriptions of the excursions were misleading and often did not include everything that was described. The cost of all the excursions did add up, and without the extra activities not included in the stay there is not much to do on the resort. I enjoyed my time at the resort but would not pay the price again for the experience that we had.

The team made it so easy to find our guides! We felt welcomed, safe, and so excited to start our trip!

Great hotel in a quiet area. Perfect for walking down to the Candeleria neighborhoods. The chefs were amazing and the front desk staff were always very helpful and patient. You’ll definitely want to bring ear plugs because the walls are thin, but we’re always prepared for that so it wasn’t a problem.

Very peaceful and relaxing.

Very nice hotel off the beaten path. It was a nice place to rest between cities with great views from the restaurant area.

The location was perfect because it was walking distance to everything we needed for food and shopping. The rooftop pool and restaurant worker perfect for our family. The staff was very kind, helpful, and service was great. We want to come back.

It was an amazing experience.

Very relaxing.

Absolutely amazing behind the scenes tour of Cartegena with Roberto.

Beautiful location.

Absolutely beautiful place. It was more than we were expecting.

We loved seeing the process from start to finish.

Very fun. Family favorite.

It was perfect and we learned so much. Only tip would be to provide a handout with the fruit on it because we couldn’t remember any of the names.

I had a very bad experience. The AC was not working. At late night I was going for a food to 24 hour restaurant and they would not put a tab on my room. I had to pay cash or credit card... I had to husstle.. It was not nice.

OK. not the best.

It was very nice however we had to climb a lot before we can reach for paragliding. As I mentioned few guys had trouble walking. And when we finished we saw a second spot very close in walking distance had the same service but one did not have to climb. I wish other guys would have enjoyed this spot.

very nice.
