10/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)

I have travelled the world and never have taken the time to write a review, until now. Recently I had the pleasure of staying at the stunning Bora Bora Hotel and Beach Club at Islas del Rosario, Cartagena, Colombia. From the moment my sister and I arrived, Carolina, Leonardo, Antonio, Yuri, Maria Lindo, Roland, Jesu, Jorge, Adner, Stephanie, and the rest of the staff, provided hospitality and impeccable service to my sister and me. The well-appointed rooms combined with the natural beauty of its surroundings is to be experienced. In the morning, day only guests arrive to the beach club which offers different settings with different types of music for a fun ambience. On the other hand, for those that love tranquility, the private pool area for overnight guests only is the place. At 3pm the day guests leave and the place is left to the six-room overnight guests to enjoy fully. This is where the magic of the place gets elevated as it becomes your own, with gorgeous sunsets, nature sounds, views of crystal-clear warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, and incredible dinner service. Unbelievably gorgeous. Another highlight of our visit was visiting their sister property, Pao Pao, built under an aviary, a seven minute boat ride away. Frank, Miguel and Eric continued providing outstanding service in an incredible natural setting. I cannot recommend enough the Bora Bora Hotel and Beach Club and can't wait to go back. Thank you Bora Bora Hotel Team for the memories. Priceless.

If you do not know Spanish very well, I advise you download a translator app or go w/someone who does to avoid any miscommunications. There are local sales people here who offer "packages" at the beaches that are supposed to include lunch/beach chairs etc for specific prices for specific beaches and you pay in pesos UP FRONT. *UNLESS* you book a ferry to the beach of your choosing through your hotel which I HIGHLY recommend so you get a fairer price and have someone you can directly hold accountable and communicate w/should you have any pertinent questions/concerns.

5/5 - Excellent

MustTravel!

Few dollars taxi to the Historic town ...A must visit, you just can take pictures all day, walk all day, have lunch, shop, and enjoy the heat, the music, the flavor of Cartagena!! This is a dream trip that has been added to our must list of return places... Faboulous to travel with children, in so many occasions the local people show their kindness and respect for "us" the tourist... a guard saw me catching a taxi and immediately said to me "the maximum price is $" with a smile!. Then at the airport, this person left his coffee and walked right outside with me and talked to the taxi and where to take us... It was late at night, but the Beautiful Cartagenos people took care of us!! I am in love with this place....

4/5 - Good
