Isla Grande
Hostal Secreto features an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a garden and private beach area in Isla Grande. 2.2 km from Playa Libre, the hostel offers a terrace and a bar. The accommodation provides karaoke and free WiFi. Just unbelievable! Booked two nights, extended one more on the morning of check out because I just couldn't leave. The Hostel itself is very clean and well run. I see some people complaining about everything not looking brand new, and I think they are missing the point. They have clearly restored everything to be functional, while retaining the patina of faded luxury. It's what makes this place so unique. The beach is very close, and a great place to go to at all times of the day. It's definitely not the most idyllic beach on the island, but it's very quiet (no crowds of day trippers) which is perfect for this place. The activities were all very fun and always left on time. The island itself is super fun to explore. With the Maps.me app and downloaded maps you can see all the footpaths and attractions. Felt safe exploring even in the night time. The host Jonathan was wonderful. He's always up for a chat or providing tips. He's also super proactive about including solo travelers in activities with other people, making sure everyone has a great time. Since the pool and bar area is the central gathering point, it's easy to make friends here. Food was good, with a large menu. It maybe gets a bit samey after a while, but there are other places within 10 minute walking distance you can go for dinner to switch it up. Cocktails were amazing, and pretty affordable (especially during one of the two daily happy hours, 2 for 1). Cannot recommend this enough, a one of a kind experience. Felt like everyone I met there felt the same way. If I'm ever in Cartagena again in would definitely go again.

Playa Blanca
All guest rooms at the hostel come with a seating area. Rooms are complete with a shared bathroom fitted with a shower, while some units at DespertArte espacio de Arte y Hospedaje also feature a balcony. The rooms will provide guests with a minibar. The hostel is located right on the beach, and had a great vibe from the start! We had some trouble locating it because it was dark and google maps wasn’t helpful. We were running late but the two sisters who own the house waited up for us and made us feel right at home. If you like falling asleep listening to the ocean, under a huge dream catcher this is the place for you! Breakfast is fresh, and the coffee delicious. The artisan shop is right there with lots of creative designs by the sisters. I even met their mother. Such a beautiful family stay.

We had an amazing time in La Cabaña. The view from the glamping and the place itself is just unreal. The room is just perfect with a fan and an aircon. The staff made us feel really like at home and the food was exceptional, with fresh ingredients that were clearly sourced locally and hence, very natural. You have to try the piñacolada in La Cabaña as it is the best on the island. Mr Antonio is a gentleman, he collected us from the Cartagena airport and brought us to the island. It is indeed a different and wonderful experience when getting to the island. We came across great people from the island, from the staff in the hotel and the lovely people who sell stuff on the beach, unlike others complaining about these people "being annoying" we took the time to speak to them and know more about themselves. Our recommendation, be friendly and polite and if you don't want to buy anything just say "no, thank you very much" and they won't bother you. Remember that these people live from tourism and they are welcoming us to their place. It does make a difference in the time you pick to go. In our case, we went on a Monday and Tuesday (the 5th and 6th of June) there so it wasn't that crowded. What a place to stay! The island is just perfect. Highly recommended.

Don’t even get me started with the staff - we absolutely loved Carlos and the intern. Felt so welcome and the trip they arranged were super nice and cost efficient. Can’t wait to go back. All the best to Carlos and the team there ❤️

Great location, beautiful public areas, lovely staff
Great location, sea views that allow you to enjoy the sunset. Staff very kind and ready to help. The food was delicious with a reasonable priced
An amazing getaway from the busy Cartagena. The workers met us on the dock as we arrived and we all had a welcome drink. We booked the boat through the hostel and everything rang smoothly, although was on the pricier side. Reslly nice pool and plenty of room to chill out. They also had lots of activities to do with the hostel. Would definitely recommend!
Nicest people, delicious cocktails & food, a very relaxed environment. Outdoor shower epic view (we stayed on top floor). Felt very safe and no one was haranguing you, except to ask you what you want to eat or drink :) Definite highlight was going Nena Beach Club at Playa Blanca at about 4pm for sunset, which was gorgeous.
Great location close to the beach, dock and nature with a rustic, relaxed vibe. It is easy to walk to local shops and a couple of cafes and to go snorkelling, exploring by bike or boat or just switch off.
Amazing location on the beach with lots of areas to sunbathe and relax by the water Lots of activities organised by the hostel - we LOVED canoing at dusk and seeing the bioluminescent plankton in the lake and also through the mangroves in the dark. An unforgettable experience. The place itself is clean and the food served is delicious.
You basically live at the beach. The best hostel in Playa Blanca.
listen if you want a no-frills chilled double room on the beach for a very cheap price this is the place but don’t expect anything fancy… at all. the owner/security guard is really nice and may well be the best thing about the property. but it’s in a great location right on the beach and personally I just needed a place to get away and be by myself so it was fine…
