My partner and I LOVED our stay at Blue Apple -- so much so, the second we left we were already scheming about when/how to return. Every detail is flawless: the staff, the rooms (the pics don't do justice to how nice the rooms are), the food, the drinks, the beach, everything. It's a 25-minute boat ride to get there (which was really fun by itself), but it feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. During the day (from about 11:30 until 4:30), there's definitely more of a party scene, which was great for day drinking and people-watching, but the resort gets very quiet again at night. The beachside cabanas are ideal for a little more privacy, away from the liveliness of the pool. We stayed in the room called "Papaya" attached to the main house and slept amazingly well. We also took advantage of the yoga classes they offered while we were there (thanks to a visiting yoga instructor), which were great - they have mats and blocks in every room available for use. The food/drinks deserve a special call-out; we were surprised to find new, delicious additions at every mealtime, so we never felt tired of the offerings. Oh - and the massages!! I got one 2/3 days we were there. Could life get any better? Thanks for a beautiful time, Blue Apple.

We stayed in one of the villas for 3 nights and it was a highlight of our week long trip to Cartagena. The city is very busy and can be overwhelming at times so it was nice to get a little break at this great hotel and beach club. The food was great and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend hotel fenix to anyone visiting. Also a plus that it’s a very short boat trip from the city. The villa with private pool was perfect

Tierra Bomba was a short 10-minute boat ride from Cartegena.
Tierra Bomba was a short 10-minute boat ride from Cartegena. It was situated on a long private beach with plenty of daybeds to choose from. The rooms were spacious and close to the pool/beach/restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious. On our final night, we upgraded to the Private Villa with a Private pool and it was WELL WORTH IT! The private courtyard was beautiful and the pool was refreshing. The room was huge, comfortable and came with an outdoor bathroom.

This island is about a 35 minute boat taxi from Cartagena.
This island is about a 35 minute boat taxi from Cartagena. We rode back seats on a motorcycle tour through Boca Chica. It was a different world touring a local fishing village. Everyone was friendly. It's a place that may experience growth due to it's location and amenities.

Tierra Bomba is a piece of heaven on earth.
Tierra Bomba is a piece of heaven on earth. Great for relaxing and partying. Staff is hospitable. Luis & Hamilton went above and beyond. Facilities were perfect to my taste. Rooms decent size, very clean and seemed they keep them up with a refresh coat of paint every so often.
Convenient location but the beach is dirty. The hotel was very disorganized and we wasted a lot of time trying to fix problems with the booking. good takes very long from when you order to when they bring the food so you need to be patient! what we really liked and enjoyed was the activities and experience available to guests. that was excellent and great!! Yoga, fire ceremony very special!
- Facilities are great (hammocks, chairs, etc)
- Bungalows are spacious and comfortable, the outside bathtub is a nice feature
- Personnel is friendly
- Nice views of Boca Grande from the hotel and its beach
- Worth noting that you can enjoy the hotel facilities by booking a day trip from Boca Grande without actually staying at the hotel at night.
- Shower water is hot.
Perfect getaway for young family living up the full on beach club life but appreciating tranquility and the pool to ourselves either side of the day when the revellers return to Cartagena. Amazing music, food and hospitality.
We have fallen in love with this island, the hotel and the staff.
One day we will return.
Go for the day, go for a whole week, just go!....
The customer service. I had not taken a vacation for a long time, and definitely the Fenix hotel in Cartagena made my first vacation with my two-year-old son unforgettable, since we arrived the treatment of the staff made me feel at home, all them Fabio, Ether, Freddy, have clear what is customer service. I wanted to stay for at least a couple more days.
The hotel is close to Cartagena and the transportation being included is a plus. The service was excellent and the decoration was on point. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations every time. Capo made sure our stay was unforgettable, he was very polite and friendly, attentive to any requests. Lovely stay with the family
It was amazing staying here, the Beach is just in front of the Hotel, kind of private beach, nice view and Sunset, Safe and clean beach, the Staff was very helpfull and friendly, we will stay here again 100% if we have the chance to back to Cartagena La Fantastica🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
An amazing beach hotel with very friendly staff and as amazing benefit we found their restaurant has amazing vegan and vegetarian options, that was for my girlfriend and for me plenty non vegan options :) Great local dishes... Highly reccomended
One of the better places to stay in Tierra Bomba. Nice pool, friendly people and a restaurant. Pool is excluded from really loud music (which is common for all places in Tierra Bomba as it is a party Island during the day for local people)
The hotel is situated on a private beach. There is a pool and a restaurant. The main draw is the beach which is well laid out and not too crowded. The cabana in which I stayed (facing the pool) was a good size and quite well appointed.
My girlfriend had a medical emergency to do with her pregnancy and the staff there were so helpful and swift to respond. They arranged a boat to the hopital and for us to stay in their sister hotel. Truely amazing
The food - the drinks - daily happy hour - and especially the excellent A/C in our room!
The staff was wonderful - helpful and engaging! I have already recommended this hotel to a couple of friends!
Being on the closest island to Cartagena was most convenient, but the food was underwhelming and the hotel was like being in an abandoned school ground.
