Everything awesome, only issue is not being able to escape the DJ - but so long as you know about it you can make other plans on those days.

Gracias Peter! We appreciate your awe, and also your candidness about our DJ. We are known for our weekend pool party atmosphere, so love your perspective of taking that day as an opportunity to explore another part of the islands if that's not your cup of tea, and then you revel in the week days and evenings when the tranquility returns. Hope to have you back sometime!

Thank you for this message Donnelle! We pride ourselves in the quality of our cuisine and the variety we offer to guests, so I'm sorry to see you felt limited in your options. We offer over a dozen small dishes and another dozen mains daily, including items for vegetarians and vegans. Currently, we rotate half of the menu every day, and offer a special soup and dinner every evening so that guests always see something new when dining. If there was something in particular that you felt limited your options I'd be very curious to hear what it was so that we can factor that in for the future! Hopefully if you stay with us again the only reason to repeat a dish was because you loved it so much you just had to have it again.

We loved our stay here. Everything was easy, relaxing, and well managed by the hotel. Communication via WhatsApp and transportation were great - the boats were safe and convenient from Muelle de la Bodeguita.
The hotel staff was amazing, attentive, and seemed well cared for as employees. We can't speak more highly of them. We liked the beach - medium sized waves and no rocks in the actual swimming area. It's not great for snorkeling because the waves are bigger, but there are beautiful sunsets.
Our room (Papaya) was clean, large and the food and cocktails were excellent (try the Cartagena Mule!). The air conditioning worked very well. There is more noise/partying from day-trippers on weekends, so it's probably better to go during the weekdays if you want more relaxation or traveling with younger kids.
There are beach vendors, but we found them to be friendly (they give great massages), and the hotel has a flag system in place if you want to be left alone. The cabanas, built into the hedges, are awesome and can be rented for about $15/day.
There aren't any kayaks or SUPs, but there are horseback rides, walks to the historic El Fuerte Tierra Bomba, and diving trips offered from the site.
While prices may be a little more expensive than other nearby hotels, we found the quality, atmosphere, and price transparency (no surprises) to be better here, and the property is beautiful. Prices are still less than what most people would pay at other Caribbean islands or resorts.

A great getaway from Cartagena
Posted 13 Nov 2022 on HotelsReally nice atmosphere - when we were there it was like a chilled party for all groups and ages. Delicious cocktails and comfortable rooms. Enjoyed private access to the beach where we enjoyed a sunset one day and breakfast the next!

Slice of heaven
Posted 11 Jul 2022 on HotelsIt is hard to describe just what an amazing experience we had in our three nights at Blue Apple. The resort is quite simply one that you must experience yourselves. The property is beautiful, so well maintained and cared for. Our room was exceptional, with a small plunge pool for our private use as a bonus! It had all the amenities of a traditional hotel as well, like TV and aircon, but to be honest we didn't spend too much time there as we were out enjoying everything else the resort had to offer! The pool can get busy at times, but over the four total days we were there I'd say it was fairly quiet most of the time and, if it is too busy for you, the beach cabanas are beautiful spots. The best part of the stay, however, were the staff. Such awesome people, who looked after us so well, and we were sad to say goodbye to when we left. Special shout out to Yao, Jorge, Garo, and Antonio, who took great care of us over there. We were sad to have to leave the island, but look forward to hopefully coming back someday soon to visit.
