Hotel Las Islas

Absolutely perfect for couples! The hotel offers a romantic atmosphere with excellent service and beautifully clean rooms. We loved how quiet and peaceful it was, yet still just a short ride away from all the vibrant spots in Cartagena. The breakfast was delicious—fresh and well-prepared. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything felt thoughtfully done. It's clear this place truly cares about guest experience. If you're looking for a memorable getaway with your partner, this is the spot. A 10/10 in every way.
