Everything. Coralina Island is a wonderful luxury boutique hotel where you are treated like family, you feel very comfortable. The location is amazing: an island made of literally dead corals with a fantastic and alive coral reef just in front of you. The sea is turquoise and the food is excellent. All of this less than 2 hours away from Cartagena by boat. We took the room facing the sea and I absolutely recommend it because we have the most fantastic sunset view ever. It was amazing. We stayed 4 nights and this was the right time to truly enjoy it.
Facing the beachfront, Isla Tijereto offers 3-star accommodations in Isla Grande and features a garden, terrace and restaurant.

Absolutely incredible spot. Crystal clear water (albeit some trash below the waves), relaxing in cabanas with great food and drink, and exploring the island (don't miss village life in Orika). The bioluminscent tour was truly memorable, as were the otherworldly mangroves and exploring other islands nearby with Luis Filipe (fantastic tour guide; highly recommend!).

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.

Great for relaxing.
Great for relaxing. Warning to all those who love the ubiquitous and annoying Colombian music - no music is allowed in any part of Coralina Island! You will enjoy the silence, the sound of the sea waves and the chirping of the birds.
The owner of the hotel, a French-Colombian named Pierre, is a wonderful person. Thanks to him, his kind nature and willingness, we felt like we were visiting a good friend or family member. Barbora, a Czech living in Colombia.
We had an amazing stay here! Isleta is very quiet and laid back, with some good options to spend the day at the beach at another hotel 5 mins from this one (for example Coralina hotel) while staying and eating at this way cheaper accomodation with good and clean rooms (more like huts). It even has a deck with nice sun beds to go into the water from, you could easily spend an entire day at this accomodation itself as well.
The host, Jorge, was fantastic. The rooms were clean, big and very nicely finished. Each has a Bose portable Bluetooth speaker to use around the property. The private spaces for the hotel guests such as the pool area and on top of the roof of the rooms were really nice. The setting itself is amazingly beautiful with pelicans flying around and diving for fish in front of you as you watched the sun setting. Simply stunning.
- we were the first ones dropped off on the boat from Cartagena
- Room was very spacious
- Decent beach at hotel
- Fried fish lunch was delicious (not included)
- Breakfast also tasty (included)
- good location kinda in the middle of the island
Tips: down load the app All Trails and download the map for the island ahead of time. Google maps doesn’t show the walking trails or directions
A very quaint and lovely place to stay at when visiting Isla Grande. We loved how quiet it was but also how easy it was to reach the main beaches we wanted to visit. The staff is really kind and accommodating. The lodge is simple but very nice and clean and it gave us this authentic island feel we were looking for. We definitely recommend it.
We had a truly superb family holiday. The staff were excellent and very patient with our poor Spanish. There was in fact always someone who spoke English and they couldn’t do enough for us. Highlights included kayaking in the fascinating enchanted lagoon and great snorkelling in front of the hotel. The food was excellent too.
The location is a bit of heaven on earth. Two beutiful beaches, calm and clean. The staff, amazing, super kind and very available. Since it's on the tip of isla grande you are the first to drop off and first to pick up if you use the public boats so very easy and convenient. We loved our stay and location
The only good thing is that after an accident because their not appropriate manteinance of the facilities, they help us late in the afternoon to get a boat and taxi to return to Cartagena, obviously not for free as super expensive price, but at least we can return to the city and attend the emergency
Very nice hotel, not as crowded as others in the island. Nice and accommodating staff.
Good size room and clean. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included as well as beverages for these meals.
The prices for the a la carte menu were fair and not overly expensive.
Wifi worked fine
Great food. Nice location with a little beach and dock good for swimming right around the corner. They cleaned the rooms and filled up the bathroom water barrels everyday. It's a nice calm place to base yourself at while exploring Isla Grande.
The facilites, the cabañas, the staff and the food.
That they don’t allow people playing loud music, only the hotel’s.
And had a great time kayaking the island.
it’s paradisiac and perfect to have a relaxed time with some caipirinhas.
Good location, peaceful, not crowded, easy access to nice spot for bathing & short walk to beaches & restaurants. Able to rent kayaks & paddle boards from the hotel. Food is excellent. Hammocks outside each cabin are comfy.
The island was beautiful so was the hotel and the room. Beach was nice (very small though). Actually there was a quiet beach (with no music) and a "busier" one with a lounge music on.
