The service is great, awesome staff. Especially Danny has an amazing energy and is very friendly and helpful! The beach looks super nice, with very comfortable beds. We were afraid of the day-people, but it was only a boat full (35 pax maybe?) and there was more than enough room for everyone. So a great experience, especially when we were the only ones staying overnight and you have the beach to yourself. Be aware, in the weekends all the Rosario Islands get much more crowdy they say.

Transportation in and out of the island was arranged well in advance and ran smoothly. Staff was very attentive and always super available for any request (thank you Miguel Angel and Bryan for going the extra mile with us!). The location and facilities are stunning - during the day we had access to the swimming pool which was perfect to escape the caos of the party when we wanted. And we had to share it only with another couple, so it felt very exclusive. During the evening we had all the facilities at our disposal, so it equally felt a luxury experience as only a few guests stay on the island after 15.00. Cherry on top of the pie: before leaving we were invited to a free wine tasting experience with a real sommelier, which we really enjoyed.
Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Hotel Isla del Sol is located on Isla Grande Island in the Rosario Islands archipelago. It offers on-site water sports and a private beach area.

Everything was great at the hotel. Very spacious luxurious and clean room. Quite at night. Prices in the restaurant are not to high despite there being nowhere else to go. We really like the fluorescent plankton tour, it’s very unique.

The staff was simply amazing; extremely welcoming, warm, friendly and fun! The also have a dive center at the premises, which made it very comfortable to organize some dives during our stay there; the diving team was equally helpful and friendly. The accommodation (as described) is very rustic and spartan. But if you are fine with that, then I would recommend this place and the island in general for a typical Colombian Caribbean experience :)

I was hesitant to stay here after reading some of the reviews but I am so glad we did. The staff were so lovely and friendly, the welcome drink was very appreciated and we had a lovely airconed room. We rented some snorkels and enjoyed swimming in the water. This place is ideal to relax in.

The trip is too long, you go with a fast boat that is not comfortable at all. High speed, jumping the waves, it gave me a headache once we arraigned to Cartagena from isla grande.
I think the island is not worth it, I recommend instead a full day excursion to baru from Cartagena.

Loved the quiet and elegant boutique hotel vibe. The hotel was full of really lovely interesting guests and the staff were really welcoming and attentive.
We loved our stay there as quiet interlude to the fast pace of Cartagena.
If you're looking for party vibe then Coralina is not for you (head to Bora Bora). If you're looking for beautiful island shabby-chic luxury then Coralina is perfect.

Incredible place to rest, away from the tiresome sellspeople that crowd Playa Blanca and Barú offering from massages to wrist bands. Here you can actually REST, and do whatever you want to do, snorkeling, kayaking reading. Even work, if you must, the wifi connection was great at the hostel we stayed.
You can easily walk the island or do a round trip vía Kayak (3-4 hours aprox). The Mangle are really beautiful and that's a nice tour to have. The little village of Orika (1500 ppl) is really nice and peple are very kind with tourists. There were 2-3 restaurants that I can remember, but none looked tempting so we stayed with the Hostel restaurant for health sake. No need to improvise. :)
It's a small island perfect for introspection and sea sports as mentioned before. I'd say it's a mandatory visit if you go to Cartagena (hey, you can even sacrifice Playa Blanca without loosing too much, if you must prune a few days of your stay), but definitely try to visit the island. We travelled with 3 kids aged 16, 13 and 12. and 3 nights at the hostel hit the spot for them. More would have been a little too much for them.

This is the furthest island and honestly there’s nothing to do here. Specifically at this hotel, there was only two lawn chairs where the sun actually reached and the rest were always in the shade. And the two that were in sun were always occupied. The one time we did get to sit in them, the dock it’s on was not sturdy or secure. In fact the board under the chair broke as my friend was laying in it!! And the chair leg went towards the water.
The hotel itself had no beach so you had to walk 20 minutes to get there and it was not easily accessible by any means. All the other beaches were private and you had to pay for.
They offered theee excursions - I can’t speak to one. But the other two were scams.

It felt really remote but with everything you needed (be prepared, no A/C.
The Caipirinhas are FANTASTIC how they make them.
Kayaks pull up with cocktails from outside vendors. Adds a fun element.
Most nights they offered something to do after the day trippers left.

This is an island that is completely run for the profits of the beach resorts who cater almost exclusively to the day-trippers from Cartagena. This means that if you are not in one of these resorts your access to much of the island is restricted. For the most part, there are no evident access points into the interior of the island from these resorts and we found ourselves entering through service entrances to try to get the coast, or a bar and were often found trespassing. Some of these resorts are more welcoming than others and some charge an entry fee for non-guests. However, many of these resorts don't seem to have overnight guests and, therefore, shut up shop after 4pm so there is little-to-no evening activity on the island (and no street lights, so make sure to have a torch with you)
There are some fun and interesting activities to do on the island - enough to fill a day, but the limited access when staying there meant that we were very ready to leave after two nights.
Everything, the place is super beautiful, the sea is just out of this world!
The staff is amazing, especially Yuri, a very nice guy.
There only 6 rooms on the hotel, after 3 pm (time the tours leave) the hotel becomes really intimate and super nice.
During the day, there is loud music and beautiful sun.
At night, the music is ambient and calm.
The food is good and drinks also.
The pool area is simply amazing!
Really beautiful hotel at the beach. Loved the views and the food. The staff were all really nice. The beaches are small but there's plenty of day beds, and the day visitors are only around for a few hours. We enjoyed hearing about the conservation efforts going on, hopefully they're successful!
Bathroom was very unique, we liked it, room was very spacious, and we had a small terrace for ourselves from which through bushes you could see the Carribean sea.
Boat arrives in the hotel hours before check-in time, but since the room was ready, they let us check in early with no extra cost.
