The Islawa site photos accurately reflect the spectacular setting and beautiful rooms. A tropical sanctuary. Impeccable service! Make sure you get in touch with the hotel before arrival, you will definitely require short boat transportation which adds to the exclusivity

Property with potential but with terrible service from food to amenities. No Kayaks or Paddle… you have water access but the sand is not clean from construction debris. Also you are going to need to hire services that are expensive to actually do something fun.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun and water. The food made on the property was absolutely incredible. The rooms are beautiful, new, and spacious. The entire property is beautiful and feels like a hidden paradise. I would highly recommend staying at Soy Local Islawa for your time in Baru!

El lugar es muy bonito, las habitaciones limpias, bonita la decoración y muy cómodas. En comida tiene mucho por mejorar. El tema del silencio no es tan así porq es el paso de las lanchas a Cholon entonces desde temprano se escucha el ruido y el olor a gasolina de las lanchas y jet sky.

ARNAQUE : A FUIR
L’hotel n’a pas envoyé le transfert que nous avions commandé. Quand nous avons eu le gérant au téléphone pour essayer de prendre un Uber jusqu’au bateau, il était très agressif et n’a pas confirmé le bateau. Nous n’avons pas pu accéder à l’hôtel et avons dû booker en urgence un autre hôtel à 20h30. Évidemment ils refusent de nous rembourser. PIRE EXPÉRIENCE

Amazing small Hotel
The Stay in this new Hotel was amazing. In the Hotel, there is not much to do but there are a lot of boats and Jetskis that pass the Hotel where you just can book something. The Staff was amazing, they also organised me a pick up at the Cartagena Airport.
