Reviews

Omer 10/10

Beautiful experience in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.

Pros: One of the best stays you can have. There is a coral reef right in front of the property. Watching the sunsets and sunrises from the balcony/terrace area is a treat incomparable. The food was delicious. Internet was surprisingly very reliable. The host is great.

Cons: The surrounding area on the Island is very very poor. The hotel is completely insulated from the rest of the island though so you can choose to ignore it but it makes you feel very guilty. It is not safe to go out to the island. The tours provided could also be better.

Relaxing and warm people

Pros: The hospitality of the hostess and the staff was really good with positive attitude and warmth.

Cons: The staff, the protection and the overall vibes

Taka 10/10
Japan 🇯🇵

Pros: It was quite a challenge to get here from far away Japan, but it was really worth it. The blue sea that spread out before my eyes, the fresh fish, the delicious caipirinhas, the sunset over the sea and the sunrise, the moon casting its shadow on the water. And the unique island life. An experience that can only be had here in the world. It was an experience I will never forget, thank you Samantha.

Unique, wonderful, peaceful hostrl

Pros: This was a perfect place to stay on the Islands of San Bernardo. It made me feel so peacefull. The sounds of and the view on the sea that surrounds the hostel, swimming in the calm water straight from the platform, looking at the children playing on the boats in the evening, the boats leaving and coming....Didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. They accompanied me for a walk in the authentic Colombian village which made me feel at ease. Samantha especially and also Luz, Claudia, Blaz Enrique...made ne feel so welcome. And the food is delicious, the fresh juices and variation with the breakfast

Cons: Nothing. The roosters crowing from around 3'o clock is part of the local experience. And the place is so relaxing that I didn't need more sleep.

Perfect stay!

Pros: I can only recommend this hostel! We had such a great time, it's a perfect spot to hang out and swim in the blue water (we had the hostel almost to ourselves). They cook for you freshly every meal and you can say what you want (fish, meat, vegetarian..), the food was soooo good! :) The staff is very helpful and friendly, we also had a very great plankton tour organised by the hostel. They also have a great music playlist :). Thank you!

Cons: The only thing that was a bit complicated was the booking process. You have to pay in advance and it's not possible to pay by credit card. nevertheless it was worth the effort :)!
