호텔 이슬라 리자마

Some serious issues: 1. The waterslide had a problem: electrical school in everyone who tried to use it. 2. No toilet paper and no water in most of the bathroom. 3. No soap to wash hands It was a Saturday, and it was relatively empty. It looks it was abandoned.

This hotel is part of one of the tours they offer at the marina in Cartagena. Isla Lizamar is one of the Rosario Islands. The package we purchased included spending the entire day at this hotel with lunch included. The hotel has a pool, small spa, beach wear shop, restrooms, lounge beach chairs, lounge beds, kayaks, hammocks, flamingos, ducks, peacocks, a small slide that leads to the ocean (however the water they pour on the slide is not strong enough for children to slide). The included lunch buffet was OK but fish and patacones were too salty in my opinion. The staff was very friendly. The entire hotel needs a “face lift”. It needs to be painted again entirely. The ping pong table and paddles are falling apart. The flamingos look pretty but they have them in an enclosure and they smell horrible. The ducks keep getting inside the pool to swim. The flies come all at once during lunch time!! Overall it was OK but nothing to rave about.

The hotel stuff was very friendly and supportive when you asked them for help. The prices for the meals are in my opinion too high, not only because they serve the same thing every day, but also for a non fish eating person, it had a rare choice. In general it was OK, the rooms are big enough for 2 persons and well equipped. The sea color is really as it is on the pictures but little bit small. A big plus was that the hotel stuff drove me to my next hotel on Isla Baru for free, really appreciated that.

Absolutely worst experience. Rip Off. There was construction going on. Small contrived cement environment with nothing to do. Kids pool was dirty. Main pool was nice. No beach. Food included was mediocre. Staff constantly hustling to sell you stuff. Total waste of a day. Totally overpriced for what you get. We were so bored we asked to see the real island which was interesting. However very poor and dirty. Be prepared for a very rough ride back. The sea is rough in the afternoon. We were drenched within minutes. We travelled at high speed; assume it’s to stay above the waves. About 40 minutes of constant soaking by sea water. If you don’t like boats don’t go to Rosario. Find another company. This one is truly awful. We liked the guide in charge. Very professional
