What a wonderful experience!!! The staff was so friendly and nice throughout our stay! Especially Paula and Jorge for helping us and translating everything for us. We did the horseback ride to the other side of the island and it was magical!!! Highly recommend staying at this little slice of paradise!

Our stay at Blue Apple was a perfect marriage of luxury and natural beauty. The property is small with each bungalow in its own private space. The rooms were gorgeous, clean, and well appointed with a very comfortable bed. I loved the outdoor shower and all the luxury shampoos/ soaps/ lotion. The service and food was incredible. We ate so well! The pool area is so comfortable and overlooks the waterfront, facing due west for sunsets. We also loved that the hotel was committed to fair trade and sustainable food and practices. We would return again in a heartbeat. This is an experience that is worth every penny.

Truly a gem!

This place is truly a gem! We stayed for three nights, and everything exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were comfortable and spotless, making us feel right at home. The highlight of our stay was the exceptional customer service—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful environment to relax and unwind. We can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely return for another stay!

Really nice atmosphere - when we were there it was like a chilled party for all groups and ages. Delicious cocktails and comfortable rooms. Enjoyed private access to the beach where we enjoyed a sunset one day and breakfast the next!

Nice setting for short stay

Nice setting, worth getting a cabana. Limited to only food and drink from the hotel, surrounding area not suitable for exploring. Set menu for dinner is OK. Breakfast is good. Shared use of some facilities with staff detracts from the specialness of the resort.

Wake up to a peaceful beachfront hotel

We felt very special staying at this fresh boutique place for my 30th birthday. The food was atypical for a beach resort in a good way and the staff was very kind. Remember to bring insect repellent spray because I got bit a LOT. The music could also be updated instead of a repeat soundtrack.

Everything awesome, only issue is not being able to escape the DJ - but so long as you know about it you can make other plans on those days.

Blue Apple is a truly special place, tucked away on an island 20 minutes from Cartagena. Even though it is in an area with a lot of other resorts, its private cove and geographic location make you feel like you're completely isolated. The staff made us feel incredibly cared for, and the mission (they are fully sustainable, with their own farm, solar panel setup for energy, etc.) is authentic and beautifully communicated to guests. Food is DELICIOUS, all incredibly fresh and prepared to order for each meal. The pool and bar area are also delightful -- we were there during a slower season so there weren't many people there, which made it feel even more special. If you're looking for that perfect place to stay for a few nights to escape, this is the spot you're looking for.

Slice of heaven

It is hard to describe just what an amazing experience we had in our three nights at Blue Apple. The resort is quite simply one that you must experience yourselves. The property is beautiful, so well maintained and cared for. Our room was exceptional, with a small plunge pool for our private use as a bonus! It had all the amenities of a traditional hotel as well, like TV and aircon, but to be honest we didn't spend too much time there as we were out enjoying everything else the resort had to offer! The pool can get busy at times, but over the four total days we were there I'd say it was fairly quiet most of the time and, if it is too busy for you, the beach cabanas are beautiful spots. The best part of the stay, however, were the staff. Such awesome people, who looked after us so well, and we were sad to say goodbye to when we left. Special shout out to Yao, Jorge, Garo, and Antonio, who took great care of us over there. We were sad to have to leave the island, but look forward to hopefully coming back someday soon to visit.

We loved our stay here. Everything was easy, relaxing, and well managed by the hotel. Communication via WhatsApp and transportation were great - the boats were safe and convenient from Muelle de la Bodeguita. The hotel staff was amazing, attentive, and seemed well cared for as employees. We can't speak more highly of them. We liked the beach - medium sized waves and no rocks in the actual swimming area. It's not great for snorkeling because the waves are bigger, but there are beautiful sunsets. Our room (Papaya) was clean, large and the food and cocktails were excellent (try the Cartagena Mule!). The air conditioning worked very well. There is more noise/partying from day-trippers on weekends, so it's probably better to go during the weekdays if you want more relaxation or traveling with younger kids. There are beach vendors, but we found them to be friendly (they give great massages), and the hotel has a flag system in place if you want to be left alone. The cabanas, built into the hedges, are awesome and can be rented for about $15/day. There aren't any kayaks or SUPs, but there are horseback rides, walks to the historic El Fuerte Tierra Bomba, and diving trips offered from the site. While prices may be a little more expensive than other nearby hotels, we found the quality, atmosphere, and price transparency (no surprises) to be better here, and the property is beautiful. Prices are still less than what most people would pay at other Caribbean islands or resorts.

Es increíble que no esté incluido el desayuno en un hotel de este tipo.. el desayuno fue sobrevalorado en términos de precio-calidad. En el momento de llegar no son claras las instrucciones y tuvimos novedades con las asoleadoras e increíblemente le dan prioridad a los clientes que llegan a pasar el día y no a los huéspedes. El servicio en la piscina es lento y con poco personal. Muy mala oferta de cervezas ($27.000) y el resto de licores exageradamente costosos ($55.000 un mini cóctel) La cena es muy costosa ($190.000 por persona)y no hay otra opción. Es un hotel para extranjeros. Acabaron con nuestra intención de apoyar el turismo local.
