We spent 2 nights here recently and thought it was very good. Food is generous and tasty, cooked on a barbecue, the owners are friendly and clearly very proud of their ecohotel. Accommodation is basic but very clean ( towels included which we didn't expect), with hammocks at the door. Outside bathroom which was fun, nice to take a shower... More

There are a whole bunch of hotels on Isla Grande, but this may be the cheapest. Overall, we found that hotels all along the Colombian coast were surprisingly expensive. Las Palmeras has rustic accommodations, but friendly staff and excellent food. If you are coming here and you don't speak Spanish, bring your phrase book or dictionary. People on the island... More

If you are looking for something authentic and for pure nature this is the place to stay. It's 100% eco and the owner Ana Rosa and her husband have created an unique environment and do their job with a big joy. They will talk to you, share their opinions, tell you the whole story of the island and their resort... More

Ana Rosa and the staff are lovely. The food is delicious. I had no problem with the lack of running water but the minimal electricity means no fans at night. The grounds are very well kept, including the bathrooms. If you like camping, you are all set. Keep in mind - bring bug repellent and flashlights. I cannot stress the... More

What a truly special place! Ana Rosa and Manuel were perfect hosts, both kind and helpful. Accommodation is basic but there is a wonderful serenity about the island which you won't get from a day trip. We left feeling truly relaxed. Would seriously recommend.

Don't expect a 5 Star hotel but it was one of the best experiences and the perfect place to stay. Anna Rosa and Manuel are very friendly and helpful. The food was very delicious and considering that Colombia doesn't have a big variety of food they have created great meals. Super clean and safe! No luxury was needed. Walking distance... More

Struck up a deal with one the fisherman for 2 hour ride around the island and swam other beaches. Snorkling... More

If you're looking for sustainable and an ecological place to stay while supporting the local community in isla grande,, this is the place to stay. Solar panels, rain catchment systems and composting toilets are just the tip of the iceberg. Run by a local family, Ana Rosa, Manuel, Lux Mery and Adelis, work very hard daily to create a relaxing...

We visited Isla Grande in 2011. After hopping on a tourist taxi bound for Islas del Rosario, my fiance and I randomly (and luckily) disembarked on Isla Grande, and then crossed our fingers that we would find affordable lodging on the island! What we found exceeded our highest expectations. Las Palmeras is essentially a quiet slice of paradise! We stayed... More
