Since it’s such a small boutique resort they really catered to us. Even remembering how we took our cafe con leche. Food was excellent as well. Loved our room and hearing the waves crash through the night ##### Lauren Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny T Feb 21, 2025 Quiet and seclusion ##### Danny T Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sidharth Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The island itself is very beautiful and is a great escape. Lots of great food options at the restaurant. However, on our first day the property lost power for the whole day. I would’ve assumed there was a backup generator. Also, I had to keep reminding the staff for towels each day, and they would give me 1 towel every time. ##### Sidharth Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nico Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Nico Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### OMAR Nov 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had the honor of being the first guest to stay here!!

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! ##### Dana Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Romantic getaway Great place and highly recommend it. The staff are wonderful and it is a peaceful place for the most part. The rooms are hot however and there is an AC but it has a hard time to keep up with temperatures and the fact that the rooms are not sealed. This is a plus for breezes which is amazing but hot otherwise. A beautiful getaway with my wife. Some of the staff speak some English and I could also try to practice my Spanish a bit. ![Our room on the water](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c7191550-3741-4919-9589-0193cc6b812e-1747050378630.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Quiet morning ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da91c9cb-f34e-4507-9eaf-f4411a99a243-1747050377168.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful subrise](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/19556e45-a9f6-4a1a-9560-3646da4a2a1c-1747050376446.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77560607-a1eb-4ea0-8d37-d7ad11f096e6-1747050378747.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie Mar 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely secluded hotel in great condition. We loved our stay here! We missed more vegetarian options on the menu, but the staff were kind to adapt the dishes. The food sometimes took quite long to arrive. Furthermore, it would have been nice to offer some complementary water or larger bottles at a cheaper price than 10,000 pesos for 0,50 liters. ##### Marie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 5 stars 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 ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a fantastic time of 2 nights at SOY Local Islawa. Prior to our arrival, the hotel contacted us via app to see how we had arranged our trip to the location and we were given a number of options. Accommodation is only accessible by boat, which was offered free of charge. Our room was really fantastic. Cool by the Arco, clean, lovely bed and a very large nice shower. Kayak is free to use. Menu card was played out for us after 2 days. Lunch and dinner the same. Drinks are delicious! Warm welcome with a welcome drink. We missed it very quickly. A real dream location. Marlon and his Colleagues served us perfectly. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andres Dec 31, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service 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. ##### Andres ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANDRES R Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excelente Servicio Gerencia y Staff.

The staff paid attention to all details. Jesus, Dana, Beatrice, Alberto and all the other lovely staff were friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. If you are looking to disconnect and enjoy a relaxing time, this is the place to visit. As a bonus, all of the food we had was delicious. ##### Melissa Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### eloisa Apr 28, 2025 ##### eloisa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Acuatic Apr 27, 2025 ##### Acuatic Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### adlay evelyn Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Esta junto al mar, y en una parte en que el mar es su alberca, muy bonito el hotel y excelente comida y atención ##### adlay evelyn Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JOHANNA Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El lugar es muy bonito, las habitaciones limpias, bonita la decoración y muy cómodas.

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.
