Staff is incredible and welcoming - front desk both the lady and the man are incredible! Bartenders… amazing. Overall - everyone is nice and polite- definitely coming back! As for the hotel itself I’ll say this: paradise. Baru itself is far away from the city so expect open roads (if you can afford to pay oxen transportation take that - much cooler) The hotel will handle your transportation! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e343b484-ccd7-44d3-9e39-a781bc9a7fbf-1760921488359.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89526ab0-c157-4185-a645-354c9846b89b-1760921484661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5f816d67-ca45-4ef8-b968-361b12832884-1760921487520.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a23a27be-55bb-4d35-97de-e96eba008f0a-1760921488057.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Miguel Angel Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed for 7 nights and had the most relaxing of stays. 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 ### 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Santiago Dec 5, 2025 When we got there the staff was attentive and courteous, but we had to wait like 20 minutes at the dock because the boat wasn’t there and people harrassed us for tips to take the bags out of the car. Then when we got to the hotel the check in was quick and easy, but the hotel didn’t put any clean towels to shower. And the bed sheets were dirty as well as the pillows, because the AC dripped dirty water on them. We asked for towels that same day but they didn’t have any clean, so we had to wait to the next day when the cleaning lady came by. ##### Santiago Stayed 2 nights in Dec 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 #### 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 #### 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 #### 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.

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 #### Dana Dec 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an amazing stay at this hotel!

The rooms are beautiful, new, and spacious. The entire property is beautiful and feels like a hidden paradise.

Lovely personalized service. Everyone makes you feel welcomed and are warm hearted. I travel alone and I felt very at home. The room and the view is amazing! I highly recommend Islawa. ##### Tamara Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mariana Dec 29, 2025 Disliked: Amenities This is a beautiful, somehow new property surrounded by peace and quiet. I traveled with my family (5 adults) and we rented 2 rooms. My room initially had some odor issues with the sewer and hot water, but staff resolved it quickly once reported. Be aware that the property is very isolated—there’s nothing nearby—so you’ll need to adjust expectations. Management support and additional staff would be helpful, especially during peak season. The kitchen operates on a limited schedule, with dinner service closing by 8:30 pm, and some drinks or items were unavailable. While the staff are kind, the lack of management and resources was noticeable. We even shortened our stay by a day as options ran out. Although no credit was given (per policy), I understand. Future travelers should know: the views are amazing, but there are limitations.

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Cintia Sep 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Falta mucho por mejorar ,el valor de la habitación Hola al llegar lo primero que encontramos es que no había televisor en la habitación algo que encuentro insólito en esta época y en un hotel aislado de todo . La única alternativa que nos dieron fue cambiarnos de habitación pagando por una más cara . Tuvimos que hacerlo así. Lo otro malo es. Que al ser un hotel aislado no tienes oportunidad de comprar por ejemplo agua en otro lado que no sea el hotel , el agua era bastante cara 10000 pesos colombianos y una cerveza en lata colombiana 17000 casi un robo que tuvimos que aceptar ya que no había otra alternativa al estar aislado Todos los días prácticamente tuve que rogar por que nos dieran toallas limpias para ducha y para playa una molestia que no se preocupen por estos detalles por el valor de la habitación Mi último reclamo es que casi no nos salía agua caliente en la ducha todos los días nos bañamos con agua helada En el hotel una empresa ofrece paquetes de turismo en donde no tiene precios establecidos una molestia porque según como te ven te cobran , mi recomendación es regatear todo lo que puedan Lo demás es maravilloso muy bella la vista El restauran es rico pero muchísimo más caro que Cartagena se entiende que sea un poco más caro pero aquí es el doble o triple del valor de Cartagena Les cuento para que lo tengan en consideración en su viaje y piensen en quizás llevar cosas para comer y beber desde Cartagena para no pagar los excesos que cobra el hotel por cosas simple ##### Cintia Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANDRES R Jul 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excelente Servicio Gerencia y Staff.
