I cannot express how wonderful the staff at Nena are. Olga, Ivan, and all of the front of house staff were an absolute pleasure and a life saver. Ivan helped us to meet a couple of nice people who manage boat excursions from the beach which really made the trip for my girlfriend and I. The balcony overlooking the beach was wonderful and the staff brought a lovely dessert up to us our first night as a welcome since we were there for her birthday. A+++ and 5* to the staff there.

Jean Carlos, the hotel administrator, was extremely attentive to our needs. He made the trip very enjoyable! This is a unique spot where you are LITERALLY steps from the sand/ocean. It's very relaxing hearing the waves and popping in for a swim whenever the mood hits you! I've been to 6 continents and by far the most novel experience I've had. My teens enjoyed the eclectic experience as well!! If you have a sense of adventure-this is for you!

La atención y el lugar es extraordinario. Es un paraíso.
Wow this location is AMAZING. Truly it was a private beach all to ourselves… only one other couple there on our first night. The property only has 4 rooms total so you’re never going to have a bunch of people there. The staff were SO accommodating and patient with our lack of ability to speak Spanish. We only speak English, staff only spoke English but they always used translation making it very easy to communicate! I saw other reviews complaining about the food being overpriced and no hot water for the shower which seems silly to me after now experiencing how remote this place is! It was my toddlers first travel experience, and I was SO happy with the comfort Carey House offered. Is it a luxury hotel, no. But does it have everything you need on a remote beach location with PERFECT Carribean swimming and the best staff ever? Yes. We will be coming back!

I love how close the place is to nature, beach is amazing , the rustic cabanas are beautiful .The only thing I didn’t like it were the locals trying to sell their products in a way that can be annoying.

The only way to get from the arrival area to your hotel is to walk along the beach with your luggage or by boat. When the seas are ruff and there are no boats you must carry your luggage through the sand and water. Depending where your hotel is, that could be a mile. There is one tiny bodega on the beach to buy soda and beer and not much else. It’s best for a short stay.

Horrible place, instead of the sea breeze you'll enjoy exhaust from the dozens of motorboats and scooters cruising everywhere without any rules. They make a horrible noise all over the day, combined with loud music from each bar it caused a headache. Food and drinks are extremely expensive, we got poisoned by some food there being sick for 3 days.
Trash is everywhere behind the beach line.

Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful.
Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful. Between those hours, however, there are an overwhelming number of visitors and vendors. The water is full of so many people offering rides on jetskis, banana boats, tour boats, etc, that rather than smell the ocean air you smell gas. If you want peace and quiet you need to trek about 2 kms to the peaceful section of Playa Blanca.

Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Family of 3 with a 10 year old, stayed 6 days, 2 different hotels.
Beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise colored waters and fresh sea food ( learn your prices and always check before accepting anything).
The family time spent there is unforgettable. The people are kind and respectful. The island is safe and after 4pm starts to calm down and at 7-8 pm it's quiet and peaceful.
Most people spent a day and leave, but i recommend you stay and do the activities. We did snorkeling and raccon as well as the Plancton (DO NOT MISS IT! ).

Nena beach resort AC, pool and beach beds.
Great hotel to disconnect, relax and just enjoy the see.
The staff is the best value of the hotel, always ready to help, and to solve any inconvenience. Specially, María Lena and Luis in the reception, William in the dining room, the guy who help with the luggage, and other ones I don't remember the name.
The food is very good, fresh products and enough variety.
I was with my family, 8 person's, but it is also good for couples. You have enough private atmosphere.
The only thing we liked was the ocean was really close to us, there was no power light and water for restrooms,and Natalia was very rude and she blocked us from whatsapp, I spend one night but it was hell because there was no electricity for the fans, and this island is extremely hot, the power plant was out of gas and I think they should be prepare with extra gas, to take care of their costumers. They only good thing was Jose the groundskeeper, very nice person.
Staff was very, very kind. There were moments that we would have hoped for them to come around more often to see to our needs. Seafood was over cooked 2 nights in a row. Which I think they should have to ta T because it is a beachfront property. Cholon is just on the other island in front and the noice that the boats produce was a bit distracting , but it is not the properties fault in any way. but other than that must say that it was a very good stay.
It’s a well thought hotel and as fancy as it gets when you’re in the middle of the jungle! The rooms are great, lots of room, the jacuzzi is a big plus as well as the Japanese style toilet. The mini bar is well stocked, food in the restaurants was pretty good, especially dinner with their coconut bread that I fear I will never taste again, so good 🤤
The visit was fantastic! I'd definitely recommend this hotel. The location was great and a super fun experience. The staff was excellent and very attentive. It was a bit hot during sleep, however, fans were provided. The rooms only have shutters but the bug nets seemed to work well. Our kids loved the beach, the food, and the hotel in general.
We loved staying at Olga's hotel! They were always super attentive to us so that we had the best stay. It is a truly magical place to rest and recharge your batteries. The place is amazing and the food is delicious. We can only recommend this place and hope to come back soon.
Good breakfast and food available from the restaurant was good quality. You are a captive market and only way to leave is by boat or 4x4 so dependent on the hotel restaurant. Limited veggie options. Great cocktails and beautiful rooms, bathrooms and outside areas
Nice quite place to stay.
The staff is helpful and kind. Communication with the owner was easy (English and Spanish). He arranged our transportation from/to Carthagene (taxi + boat) and our diving trip.
The room was confortable and clean.
The food was tasty.
Isla mar is great, the place is quiet and peaceful. It is the Perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff was thoughtful and always attentive to my needs.
The beach was private and the hotel is located pretty close to de aviary.
absolutely beautiful hotel with so much to do! our bungalow with a private pool was clean and comfy. it was right on the beach which was small but pristine! the property is massive and I wish we had more time to explore everything it had to offer.
Great customer service the staff were very attentive and friendly. It's a lovely hotel I would recommend. The boat tour to visit other islands I would recommend if you wanted to party or experience something different, it is bespoke so up to you.
This property was recommended to me by the locals, because of the great food - the food is indeed great! The hotel is intimate and small, very cosy. The beach is nice, the rooms are huge. Most of the hotel staff very welcoming and very nice.
All the hotel environment is perfect, one step on the sand another on the water.
The staff are just incredible, they're all very attentive and friendly.
I really recommend to eat the hotel food, so good!
Nothing… Poor up keep of the facility.
I had to book another hotel for my wife and daughter
The bathroom was horrible and the smell
The flys all over the place wat not to my living standers
