I would not recommend this hotel. The idea of having your own pool and bungalow sounds nice, but the pool and patio is dirty. The doors in the bungalow are not easily opened. They are also covered w thick wood shutters so you can’t see the ocean from inside your bungalow. The property needs a good cleaning and sweeping every where.

Overpriced. Needs much better management

Overall guest experience did not meet our standards for a 5 star resort. Our check-in was 2.5 hours late, due to what we were told was a faulty room issue, however it later transpired our original room was given to another couple who found the "isleta" rooms (there's a main island resort and a smaller island with a handful of rooms) too loud due to the party boat noise. We were told we were upgraded but in fact it was the opposite: the rooom was exactly the same but with loud noise, the "Isleta" restaurant aleo had significantly less choice than the main island. We always value transparency however felt rather betrayed the way the overall communication from reception was handled, no one at any stage apologised. The quality of the food was poor, fish was over cooked and pasta very over cooked, most dishes were poorly seasoned. For the price we paid for dinner (on average $150 USD per couple) was far too much for the quality we recieved. We felt the restaurant lacked a competent chef running the pass as we were shocked they allowed food to sent to tables like that. On checkout we had two spa treatments and a lunch meal on our bill which were not ours, it transpires it was the room who they swapped when we check-in but had still remained on our bill. Overall staff were very charming but serious lack of management and a competent executive chef. Be mindful of booking a room on the "isleta", the day boat partys are very loud and can still be heard is side cabins.

Hotel tried to scam us! Beware!

Nice hotel, good food and service. The beach is also ok, although it is not turquoise water or crystal clear. My partner and I stayed in a bungalow in Isleta, which is a private island, part of the hotel. To get there, you must take a short boat ride. Although we had a good time, it’s definitely not deserving of 5 stars. It is more of a four star hotel. Also, the hotel tried to scam us upon check out. The hotel tried to charge $600 US dollars to our room for charges we did not make. This left a bad taste in our mouth and as a result, I would not recommend staying here. We literally had to ask for an itemized bill and go through each charge in order to dispute the fictitious charges. Once I asked to speak with a manager and argued the fraudulent charges they finally agreed to deduct them from our bill. We asked for an explanation and a response from management but to date have not received one. Although it is reputed to be the best hotel in the area, I would hot recommend this hotel. If you do decide to stay here, make sure you take a picture of every receipt and bill at the restaurants and bars. I assure you they will also try to scam you. It is a real shame. For this reason, I am giving this hotel one star.

Las Islas is amazing. The boat ride from Cartagena was easy and once there, it’s everything you’d hoped for. The food was fantastic, as were the drinks. From fruit to seafood, everything is fresh and expertly prepared. Their private island (in addition to the island you’re on) is worth a day trip. And it’s all extremely walkable, though you can call for a golf cart anytime and it’s there in a couple minutes if you need it. You won’t regret the stay. We’ll be coming back!

Las Islas bungalows are gorgous but the property is over grown and is located ina dangerous / extremely poor and terribly difficult place to get to. If you stay on the island the food is horrific. Breakfast is a complete joke at this price point. The bungalows on the water are very nice but they are starting to become out of repair - we had to move from unit 66 because it was close to the party island next door with loud music playing all day and the restaurant next door which is horrific. We moved to unit 62 but then the AC did not work. Moved to Tree House on mainland and there is no view / just in the branches. The road into the facility is DANGEROUS do not attempt to drive and filled with people trying to rob and beg and stopping traffic etc. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

This is a very cool resort on a lush jungle island. Most of the rooms are treehouse bungalows, and there are a few waterfront bungalows with infinity pools. Not really a desitnation to bring kids, more a romantic getaway. Will definitley return.

I recently spent three days and three nights at Las Islas on the Baru Peninsula, and it was an unforgettable experience. I stayed on the main island and had the chance to experience both a treetop bungalow and a private bungalow on the beach. The resort is nestled deep in nature, and you really feel a sense of immersion, with iguanas, monkeys, and other wildlife all around. It was unlike anywhere I’ve ever stayed—truly close to nature in every sense. The guest service at Las Islas was exceptional, with staff always ready to assist and make sure every detail of your stay is perfect. The food was amazing, with lots of fresh seafood and local flavors. Every meal was a treat, and it added to the overall experience of being in such a beautiful, remote location. One of the highlights was watching the sunsets from the third-level bar in the clubhouse. They were absolutely stunning! You can enjoy the view with a drink in hand or use the high-powered telescope at night for some incredible stargazing—an experience that really adds to the magic of the place. There’s no shortage of activities at the resort. You can snorkel, kayak, or just explore the island. It’s a fantastic getaway for adventure lovers and nature enthusiasts. However, it’s important to note that the hotel is quite a distance from Cartagena. We opted for ground transportation, which took about two hours from the airport. I would suggest that the property include transport for guests rather than charge.
