PALMARITO BEACH

We didn’t stay at hotel. Went only to the beach. Very nice place to have cabanas. Everything was organized. Departing and arriving by boat. You paid what you get. We wanted nice beach with nice water and service. Pool was nice as well.
All negative reviews I’m reading. Guys you are paying $50 per person with food included for whole day and still demanding luxury service with foot massage. Go to Sofitel (we actually stayed there for 5 nights) and pay $300 per night. You will get high class service and no loud music no vendors with Kayaks and everything. Guys if you want get high class service you have to spend money on it

This place is well located and offers an excellent option for people that want to be close to Bocagrande and enjoy its beautiful facilities.

This is a beach club space. You have to take a shuttle from the mainland over. You must be prepared to purchase food or drink to remain in the space. Cabanas, massages, and ATV bikes are available.

Great value compared to expensive resorts like Decameron resorts. We had a ground floor room with patio +jacuzzi. Beautiful gardens. Room service available. Nice beach area with view of Cartagena across the bay. Great food. Massage Spa on site. Had a great time.

At around $25-35/person it's probably the best bang for buck beach club I experienced. Amazing view of Cartagena, minimal crowds, and plenty of small activities to keep you entertained for the 5hrs or so you're usually out there. I recommend you get there by 9am to guarantee the nice beds on the beach. Payment included transportation there and back and a lunch buffet offering chicken n gravy dish or a typical fish dish with coconut rice and offer staple sides. This would be my first choice for an immediate relaxing vibe in Cartagena without all the panhandlers.

I was very please with my stay in palmarito Beach. The waitera service is amazing. Ivan, Jorge and Anthony they do a great job, as well as the administrative assistants and the bar tenders do their best and make sure visitors are having a great stay. Food is also amazing and affordable. I strongly recommend this place, either to stay or to have a day in Tierra Bomba.

Palmerito Beach Resort is beautiful. The rooms are nicely-sized, the food is excellent, the attention is amazing, the bar is located right on the beach with great music, delicious cocktails. I recommend this place 100%!!!

Beautiful resort island that you can reach by boat from Boca grande beach behind the old hospital. If you reserve the day pass on their website you will be treated to a free cocktail and lunch buffet. More drinks are extra but they are very generous with the booze and you only need a couple to get a good buzz going. Food is fantastic, they had fried fish, patacones, some kind of sweet pork dish, salad and of course fries. Comes with free use of the beaches, the pool, hammock area, tables and chairs and seating areas. All you need to really bring is yourself, some towels and maybe some sun block and whatever toiletries will make you more comfortable (wet wipes/hand sanitizer. Bathrooms are kinda gross but it's by a beach what do you expect?). The speedboat ride is really quick, only takes about 10 minutes to get out there and then you could spend the whole day relaxing. Boats start leaving Boca grande about 8:00am and the return trips start around 3:00 pm with the latest you can stay being about 4:30. There's a night tour too that I guess is more geared towards adults and alcohol.

We spent an amazing day in this beach! I want to be back, the food was delicious and the drinks as well. The beach is clean, we had fun with the activities that the staff prepared for us, perfect place and wonderful view. ❤

Had a wonderful time here! My friends and I just went for the day. The package was reasonably priced and included transport to and from the resort, a welcome drink and a delicious lunch. There was a great DJ and plenty of beach chairs and cabanas, we even had our own server tending to us on the beach for whatever we needed! There were also kayaks, hammocks, and a pool, all free to use. Great day trip! Would have stayed the night if we had more time. Staff was english-speaking and more than helpful.

Near bocagrande and excellent to relax.

Great spot close to the center of Cartagena. The staff was excellent. We had an amazing lunch with fresh fish. I will definitely go back.

Really good experience with this beach, is a short travel in a fast boat and the water really good and the lunch wow everything was amazing. High recommended

Nice (charmingly clumsy) staff, fairly priced cocktails, okay beds, working wifi, not much pushy sellers on the beach. Food basic but allright (sometimes actually what you ordered!). Free boats to Cartagena three times a day (09:00, 11:00, and 16:00-ish) from the beach behind the hospital near the Hilton. Wear flipflops to the boat because you'll get wet getting on the boat from the beach. Boat rides are a bit adventurous but you'll live. No shopping on the island except for people daring to enter the sketchy Tierra Bomba village. People there are probably allright but we were warned not to carry valuables in sight... ymmv.
Pro tip: showers in Colombia are cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon (apparently they store the water on the roof under the sunshine).

Excellent service. Staff very responsible , good price and delicious food!

The beach its no so nice, but the place and amenities they ok

Great place for a day at the beach. Private beach closest to Cartagena. National lunch and boat transport included.

The food is good, beach is clean and quiet, and it's a quick boat ride from the beaches on Bocagrande.

The place and the beach are amazing. Totally recommended.

Good place, nice food, pretty view... 100% worthy
