Las Islas bungalows are gorgous but the property is over grown and is located ina dangerous / extremely poor and terribly difficult place to get to. If you stay on the island the food is horrific. Breakfast is a complete joke at this price point. The bungalows on the water are very nice but they are starting to become out of repair - we had to move from unit 66 because it was close to the party island next door with loud music playing all day and the restaurant next door which is horrific. We moved to unit 62 but then the AC did not work. Moved to Tree House on mainland and there is no view / just in the branches. The road into the facility is DANGEROUS do not attempt to drive and filled with people trying to rob and beg and stopping traffic etc. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

This is a very cool resort on a lush jungle island. Most of the rooms are treehouse bungalows, and there are a few waterfront bungalows with infinity pools. Not really a desitnation to bring kids, more a romantic getaway. Will definitley return.

I recently spent three days and three nights at Las Islas on the Baru Peninsula, and it was an unforgettable experience. I stayed on the main island and had the chance to experience both a treetop bungalow and a private bungalow on the beach. The resort is nestled deep in nature, and you really feel a sense of immersion, with iguanas, monkeys, and other wildlife all around. It was unlike anywhere I’ve ever stayed—truly close to nature in every sense. The guest service at Las Islas was exceptional, with staff always ready to assist and make sure every detail of your stay is perfect. The food was amazing, with lots of fresh seafood and local flavors. Every meal was a treat, and it added to the overall experience of being in such a beautiful, remote location. One of the highlights was watching the sunsets from the third-level bar in the clubhouse. They were absolutely stunning! You can enjoy the view with a drink in hand or use the high-powered telescope at night for some incredible stargazing—an experience that really adds to the magic of the place. There’s no shortage of activities at the resort. You can snorkel, kayak, or just explore the island. It’s a fantastic getaway for adventure lovers and nature enthusiasts. However, it’s important to note that the hotel is quite a distance from Cartagena. We opted for ground transportation, which took about two hours from the airport. I would suggest that the property include transport for guests rather than charge.

Nice hotel but they have not been keeping up with the maintenance. The price might have been reasonable when the hotel was brand new but not anymore. Also transportation costs to the hotel were unreasonable.

Beautiful property with beautiful lodgings. Excellent service 24 hours. Great dining options and beautiful restaurants. We reserved one treehouse and one seaside room. The treehouse had a rat in it that would come out at night only and scurry around and chew on walls, carpet, bed edges, etc. We called the concierge on the first night and they did send someone who used a stick and chased it out of the wall. But 20 minutes later, it was back. So every night we would just lower the mosquito netting and tuck it in under the mattress and lie awake listening to “Harold” have a grand old time right next to us. We reported this when we checked out, and the concierge just apologized and told us this was unexceptable, but charged us full price for our stay! The seaside room had no rats, no concerns, and was beautiful. We went snorkeling and scuba diving. Both were amazing. We rode bikes all over the property which was fun. Overall, had a wonderful and memorable stay. Would have just preferred our treehouse not have been double booked with a rat😊

Amazing staff, always available. Bungalow had issues with the doors and windows, some of them wouldn’t close, doors for access to the pool were very difficult to open or close. Our bungalow had issues with the phone since day one and was never fixed, we had to use the intercom located outside to place room service order, contact receptionist, etc. ( the staff who was sent wanted to help and fix the issue but you don’t want someone in your room 2-3 hours for 2 days while you are on vacation). For the price I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.
