"The staff was super kind and helpful, they have a transfer service from and to the city by boat between 10am and 5pm. The cabin I chose had AC and the bar has quite a nice menu for food and drinks. Basic amenities but just fine, the guys will help you in whatever way they can and you won't be pestered so much by vendors. On the other hand, they should think about installing some catch-fly lights cause insects can be really annoying, especially when eating."

Top Playa de Punta Arena Hotel Reviews

Hotel OZ Grand

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a beautiful location, and one of the highlights was actually the restaurant directly across the street—they had some of the best fish we ate during our entire stay in Cartagena. There was definitely a language barrier at times, which made it difficult to call the front desk and ask for certain things because we didn’t always understand each other. However, we were in Colombia, so I completely understand that Spanish is the primary language and I don’t hold that against the hotel. My biggest issue was the inconsistent information from the staff. The bellboys would tell us one thing, while the reception staff would tell us something completely different. That caused some unnecessary confusion during our stay. Breakfast was also very limited if you’re vegetarian. There was fruit, but many of the pastries and other breakfast items contained meat, so there weren’t many options available. As far as amenities, there really weren’t many at the hotel, so I’m not sure what amenities guests would actually be able to take advantage of. Overall, the location was beautiful and convenient, but clearer communication between staff members and more vegetarian breakfast options would have made the experience much better."

Tiny Village Cartagena Boutique Resort

"If you want a rustic experience, very Colombian style away from high end resort, stay here. We loved our stay- the rooms have portable ac units, expect not to experience luxury island style- the place is very nice designed but no special amenities. The pool is small and nice- because it’s small it doesn’t stay super clean until night time but it’s ok. The food was good. We enjoyed our stay."

Palmarito Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"I stayed 2 days with my girlfriend. She enjoyed the beaches and pool. Room was nice. Drinks & amenities are on the pricey side. I had an issue with the bill when I checked out but the staff handled it with no issue. There's a good wait for the boat to island. Be prepared!"
