We took the speed boat ferry to Cocoliso for a day trip because we were told you can't go to Cartagena without visiting the islands. The water quality around the islands is pretty clear, a thousand times better than the murky ocean water you find on the beaches in Cartagena. We weren't looking for a high end resort because we...

Cocoliso was recommended as a good beach break for a couple of nights by staff at our hotel in Cartagena's old city. Once we got there, we couldn't figure out why. For the price, the rooms and grounds of the hotel could use a complete overhaul. Everything is probably 25 years old and worn. The beach is basically nonexistent, with... More

I ended up at Cocoliso Resort with my friend after a tour of Colombia. We were very tired after sleeping in tents and shelters, we needed some resort-like couple of days. We decided to stay at the Cocoliso and we were not let down. Although we were the only 2 guests sleeping there (august is a low season period in... More

We went to this hotel basically after finding over the interne that this was the most advertised and price accessible hotel in Las Islas del Rosario. It is a big complex in comparison with the other hotels on the islands. It is not a 5 star hotel but will do the job for a night or two max! There is... More

Really felt ripped off and like in prison. Don't believe the nice pictures from the brochures even photoshop would not explain the difference...no beach, dirty swimming pool. We didn't dare to try the lunch and decided instead to quickly runaway from this place.

Took the boat from busy cartegena and went to cocoliso for a day trip. Loved the slow vibe and laid nature of the complex compared with the hustle of boca grande. Not a modern resort, more a charming love boat feel. Will certainly be going back but next time for several nights. Food was fresh and authentic. I'd recommend the... More

I have traveled to Colombia many times to visit family. This time I went with my sister and a friend to explore. We LOVED Cocoliso. We went based on the recommendation of the owner of the hostel we stayed at in Cartagena, Hostal Leonella in Bocagrande. Great advice. We stayed overnight; paid 230.000 pesos incl tax. What a bargain! The... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hilton in Cartagena (beautiful and very clean) but booked a day trip to the Rosario Islands to Coco Liso resort. We were so disapointed. We took a boat from the main port in Cartagena at 8 am, the ride was fine. A little cramped but ok. It took an hour. We didn´t cruise... More
