The retreat to relax and totally disconnect
The staff was great they are attentive and will take care of all your needs. If your looking for a place to diconnect and just relax this is the place for you. It is very quaint the rooms are nice the shower is expansive and cold A/C in the room. Only had one problem the water is not very hot but it is not like taking an ice bath. Overall I had a great time here it was relaxing and felt safe and well taken care of. I would visit again.

Unsurpassed personalised service
Awesome personalised service, from greeting to goodbye we where pampered by Aleris the hotel keeper and very good chef. Great view directly on the water, waves almost crashing in room. Gret balcony and terrace on top floor. Only caveat, the place needs a bit of TLC and upkeep. NB Good to realize that Isla Tierra Bomba is very secluded and still undevelopped (not even an ATM on entire Island) bring cash ! But it has a lot of local charm and allows to witness real life !

Relaxing
If you want to be treated like family, this is the place to go. The Island of Tierrabomba may not have a lot to offer, but if you like to relax, read a good book (or 2), experience amazing local cuisine away from the hectic city of Cartagena, this is the place.

House on a trash-filled, abandoned, unsafe beach.
Don't be tricked by this property's photos & price. This property is nothing that it says it is. We wasted a day of vacation at this dump. We understood from the listing that our stay would be a safe, quiet, and relaxing getaway on the pristine, sandy beach where our kids could play and enjoy safely. The boat that brought us to the island approached a dock in front of the house. The house looked similar to the pictures on the website. Minus the grass and cleanliness. However the beach was a trash-filled (glass, plastic, dog feces, etc), dangerous & nothing like the pictures. The neighbor's regeatone music was blasting (a shack about 2 mtrs to one side of the property & an abandoned lot another 2 mtrs on the other side), and the back yard of the "hotel" basically looked like junk storage, with a water tank. The room inside was generally okay, except that the air conditioning was not working. Cartagena is 100 degrees + and air conditioning is absolutely necessary. The water that came out of the faucets was brown, and we felt dirtier after we showered than before. The downstairs kitchen & living area closed at 10pm, so you were confined to your room that was too hot, because everywhere else was unsafe & dirty.

Hello and thanks for your comments, we are working to improve taking into account feedback from our customers. Unfortunately the region is going through some social problems, but we are working with other hotels in Tierra Bomba, with Foundations and authorities to deal with them and gradually be improving the environment.

Lovely oceanfront retreat
Everyone is very hospitable and friendly--from the pickup at the airport to arrival and throughout our stay. Food is basic but tasty--especially the coconut rice! They will arrange any activity you want, we took a boat ride to playa maman, a secluded beach on the other side of the island. Lovely hammmocks and swings to relax in, and a very nice balcony and rooftop with a great view of Cartagena.

Fomos muito bem recebidos por todos da residência. Em todos os momentos estavam sempre bastante solícitos e atenciosos com nossas necessidades. A casa é um sobrado de 3 andares com 2 quartos que podem se hospedar confortavelmente 5 a 6 pessoas. A parte que poderia melhorar está no custo dos produtos que devem ser consumidos na casa, nada absurdo, mas como o local não dá opção de compras (é um ilha apesar de perto de Cartagena é isolada e sem mercados) as refeições devem ser feitas no local e o custo total acaba sendo alto. Junto a isso tem cobrança de rolha o que não permite que se leve vinhos ou outras bebidas sem que seja cobrado este valor (acho isso desnecessário) Quanto a ilha, deixa um pouco a desejar, não há nada para se fazer, apenas ficar dentro da casa, ou fazer um passeio para outras ilhas, nos acabamos indo uma tarde para um hotel e ficar na piscina, afim de aproveitar o tempo. O mar é parecido com o de Cartagena, mas como se trata de uma baía com

Super entspannter Aufenthalt im Paradies
Wenn man Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist man hier genau richtig. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und sehr schön eingerichtet. Das Essen ist fantastisch und das Personal vor Ort kümmert sich sehr nett ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Es gibt allerdings kein WLAN. Die direkte Umgebung ist nicht so schön, so dass es abend snicht unbedingt einlädt alleine dort unterwegs zu sein. Der schöne Strand ist aber auch nur ca. 10 Minuten entfernt. Die Insel wird vor allem von Tagestouristen besucht, so dass es abends sehr einsam ist. Leider ist die Insel teilweise sehr bemüllt. Für einen kurzen ruhigen Aufenthalt aber sehr gut geeignet

Muy bien la casita
Pues para los que gustan de ese tipo de hospedaje (isla, casa, in house chef, atención personal, tranquilidad, no demasiado que hacer, descansar, comer bien, pasear un poco en los alrededores, alejarse un poco del bullicio, etc) pues es muy buena opción. Estuvimos dos noches y todo muy bien, salvó pequeños detalles que no tienen que ver con el hotel mismo, como un poco de basura en la playa frontal (hay otras playas cerca más limpias por suerte) un poquito ruidoso en el día por las motos acuáticas y un poco de música que ponen cerca, pero en la noche es silencioso. Los alrededores son un tanto rústicos pero general muy bien todo en lo que respecta a al alojamiento.
