Loved our stay. It’s definitely a place to go to and stay there since it’s about an hour from Cartagena and traveling back and forth can be expensive. The staff and the service were unbelievable. The food was great, breakfast buffet had a million options BUT I would avoid the food truck at all costs and the sushi restaurant.
