Avis mitigé... La chambre double standard est spacieuse, globalement propre, avec le minimum d'ameublement, belle terrasse, la salle de bain commune était propre, La nourriture proposée y était bonne, le personnel sympathique, MAIS la piscine était sale, les transats aussi, la plage privée n'est pas baignable, il y a très peu d'activité, on se sent vite isolé, on s'ennuie vite et le temps peut vite devenir long, un séjour d'une ou deux nuits max. dans cet endroit

Muy buen hostel. Dormimos en la suite. Buen ambiente en general, la parte del restaurante, pileta, exursiones, atención, etc. A mejorar: calidad de comida vegetariana, mucha pinta poco sabor aunque $ considerables/ acordes.

This place has a backpacker spirit and the people working here are very nice. However, the facility is in a quite bad state and pretty worn down. The pool is very dirty, the double bedroom with shared bathroom was ok. It could need a deeper cleaning though. Since there are many mosquitos there are sufficient nets to protect you for the night. We got a dirty and moist towel, which could not be replaced until the day after. Expect to have loud music until late since the rooms don’t have windows and people are talking (which is totally fine).
Prices for food and drinks are on the higher side for Colombia. The food is not particularly good, simple as that. The kitchen seems very understaffed since we waited very long for all our meals and our orders were mixed up more than once. We waited more than an hour for a very simple breakfast…..
We stayed only for one night, therefore didn’t do any activities. To swim in the ocean you will have to either use the small beach at the site, which is dirty and not pretty. Otherwise you can take a walk to nicer beaches across the island. When doing that, you will see that the rest of the island is quite dirty, full of trash and many stray dogs, not as picturesque as on all those pictures. The little village on the islands has some places to eat and a supermarket. But this has all low standard.
In general, if you are out for some backpacking adventures and don’t care about quality this might be your place (still a bit expensive). If you want some comfort, don’t come here…

El lugar muy bonito pero el servicio bastante mediocre, una hora para servir el desayuno y las comidas, mi cama tenía unos clavos oxidados a los pies de la cama, he pedido que lo arreglaran varias veces y nadie me lo ha solucionado, he reído que dormir con clavos en los pies durante mi estadía en este alojamiento.
The best at Islas Del Rosario and around

Points positifs : cadre reposant, nourriture variée, plutôt propre, activités (snorkelling, kayak)
Points négatifs : très isolé, manque de communication, personnel pas hyper sympa, pas de climatisation, énormément de moustiques (aucun moyen de prévention), piscine sympa mais 1 mètre de profondeur, plage marronatre avec beaucoup de racines de mangrove, non exploitable malheureusement. Tout est très long au moins 20 min d’attente pour une limonade, et quand on demande où ils en sont après > 30min pour le repas ils répondent « tranquilo »
Faut être conscient en venant ici qu’on sera isolé avec pour seul moyen de se baigner dans la mer : aller dans les plages privées d’autres hotels.
