"The good- the staff was friendly and welcoming. The location is top notch, with amazing views and plenty of comfortable beach loungers. We snorkeled at the beach and there was coral and fish very close by. We had fun during the day at the beach lounging, walking, swimming, and reading.
The bad- upon arrival, they told us we needed to pay “the other half” of what we owed. We had already paid in full on hotels.com, though apparently this was a mistake, that was supposed to only be half the price....

"What was unique about this property it was that you had to transport from the city to the island on a small boat that was very unique. And the surrounding. I love the staff they were great always attentive and nice I would definitely go back again."

"Zero star but excellent view. The unit was full of small ant and spiders, no one is clearly managing the unit or cleaning it properly. There was ants in the luggage bags and we had to be the ones cleaning the apartment. You can’t sit at the table and have dinner because bugs will go on your plate. Better to stay at a hotel. The building itself was relatively new, good gym with a view and the apartments views were amazing. Just be ready to clean yourself."

"Incredible experience, staying in a beautiful family house with our hosts Juan and Lidi who were so welcoming and friendly.
The room has A/C, a fan and it's a very comfortable open house with plenty of space."

"The staff was amazing Angel at the front desk got us squared away and the complimentary beverages were a great touch. The dining staff was so attentive and provided great service from the moment we stepped into to the restaurant. The staff at this property were the best group I’ve ever had pleasure of meeting. "
"I admire what this resort is seeking to create: a serene environment centered on restoration and mindfulness. Daily yoga (11 a.m.), meditation (3 p.m.), and a fire ceremony (6:30 p.m.) anchor the experience, while many thoughtfully designed spaces invite lounging, reading, and shedding frenetic city energy. The grounds themselves are truly beautiful.
The staff is exceptional and attentive—from the boat transfer guys to the meticulous leaf-sweeping, pool maintenance, housekeeping, and restaurant service. A special mention for John/Juan, whose warmth and open, welcoming presence makes guests of all experience levels feel comfortable participating at whatever depth they choose.
Travelers new to this style of travel should be prepared for adjustments: no hot water means late-afternoon showers (warmer), not morning; toilet paper goes in a bin rather than flushed—a common practice in Cartagena.
Minor drawbacks: Food options feel limited for guests who don’t eat shellfish and seek healthy options (for example, no chicken both days I attempted to order it). Music played on the beach can be louder than ideal for those hoping to read, nap, or fully unwind, creating a slight disconnect with the relaxation-focused ethos. Additionally, Namaste sits between busy beaches, and jet skis often buzz uncomfortably close, posing both a distraction and a safety concern for swimmers.
That said, for those seeking something different, this is a charming, distinctive and rewarding destination."
"The hotel was excellent. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. Food was delicious. Many restaurant choice which is necessary considering how remote the property is. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there relaxing soaking up the sun. "
"I didn't know to arrive here was a mess, the island hotels have their own port, they didnt explained me well that they will pick me up to take me directly to the hotel, then we didn't find it walking, the road is a mess and they dont have any sign of the place...
They gave us a wrong room, then they moved us, and the places were dirty, the towels were nasty. Bad experience, the owner was nice and apologize, but the guys that work there in the hotel not good. Bad communication too.
It's really bad if you are super tired of the trip and you just want to arrive and rest... I suggest to give more attention in the people that work for the cleaning in the place... "
