Hotel San Pedro de Majagua  

On Isla Grande in the Rosario Islands — a true waterfront escape steps from Isla Grande Beach and close to the Rosario Islands Oceanarium and Corales del Rosario National Park. The eco-friendly resort sits among centennial island trees and lagoons. Scheduled boat and shuttle transfers connect you to Cartagena in roughly 45–60 minutes. Family-friendly and beach-ready.

This boutique property offers 17 individually decorated, air-conditioned rooms with minibars, refrigerators and LCD TVs. Rooms feature partially open bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and bathrobes, safes, turndown service and daily housekeeping. Expect relaxed island décor, shaded dining under rubber trees and an intimate, eco-conscious vibe.

Pamper at the full-service spa with massages and body treatments. Dive in — an on-site scuba diving center/diving club and a tours desk make reef and boat trips easy. Sun loungers and parasols line the beach; there’s a beach bar for sunset drinks. Family-friendly touches include children’s playrooms and babysitting (surcharge). Concierge, laundry and luggage storage keep things smooth.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property plus a 24-hour business center and computer station for work needs.

The restaurant serves fresh seafood and international specialties beneath shade trees, with garden views and alfresco dining when weather allows. Enjoy drinks at the bar or beach bar, and grab a continental or buffet-style breakfast daily (for a fee). Limited room service is available.
