El Islote Holiday Rentals

"Great location by the sea, but cleanliness below average. "

"Beautiful place Total déconnection which I find hard! No tv, no Wi-Fi except by the reception desk, no hot water. The water was not as clear as I expected and we were disappointed not to be able to walk around the island Happy we brought a scrabble game and a book! Very nice people manning desk A day and night were enough for us"

"We had a very good time here. They take many steps to make you comfortable and feel at home. Emma greeted us every meal with a smile, Erling, Pedro and other servers take care of every need they can see, and the food was very good. At the bar they let us try some local fruit (Lulo, which we had never heard of) and Osvaldo was extremely helpful and enjoyed practicing English with us, which was our pleasure since we were practicing Spanish. We only speak a little Spanish, and Estefany was fantastic for helping us in English with more complicated questions. We stayed in a Deluxe Bungalow and it was quiet. Overall it was a fairly quiet place, which is what we were looking for. The phytoplankton tour was amazing and our favorite. The jellyfish tour as pretty good. The snorkeling was not as good as other places we have been, but still worthwhile for the price. If you are a little adventurous you can visit the staff accommodation area where there are a couple of pigs and some turtles. There is a very nice man, one of the maintenance men, who takes care of the animals. If you are even more adventurous you can visit the village on the other side of the island, where some staff live, which we did and were greeted nicely there also. Many thanks to the staff at Isla Hotel Mucura!"

"Although Mucura is a bit out of the way from Cartagena, it is completely worth the visit. The waters are pristine, the coral national park is a must-see for snorkeling/scuba enthusiasts, and the island is a great, relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Mucura Club hotel employees were very kind and helpful; the rooms very clean, and the environment well kept. Would highly recommend!"
