This is a beach club. Expect some poolside activity and loud music. Check their Instagram page before booking so you won’t be one of those disappointed want-to-be-secluded-couples… We were completely aware of this and our family with 3 little ones enjoyed every second of it including moments of romantic and quiet stay. Once the day crowds are gone at 5pm it turns to an even more amazing place. The staff were so accommodating for every need much more than we were expecting. Food is great no dish disappointed. Either poolside or cabañas are always priority for guests over day-pass visitors so don’t worry. Communication for every room service need with WhatsApp was flawless. Ocean is a bit choppy but you can find rockless entrance spots. We will definitely return. Thanks Dani y Jorge

Highly recommended, we arrived on a Friday left on a Monday, the hotel provide a boat for the hotel guests it leaves from the beach behind Nuevo Hospital De Bocagrande (see dropped pin on photo)
The boat crew help with your luggage.
The hotel contact via WhatsApp a day before hand.
The boat takes approximately 25 to reach the resort, wear shorts as you will get feet wet getting on the boat.
Checking in was effortlessly we were a few hours before check in so the staff kept of luggage & had 2 loungers by the pool ready for us.
We were shown to our sundeck villa which is absolutely stunning inside with excellent air conditioning, ice machine, minibar has room for additional items if you bring something additional, easily takes full size bottles of spirits.
The upper level of the villa has a large jacuzzi easily enough room for 5-6 people & seating with an amazing sea view.
Breakfast is complementary for hotel guests & it has a variety of hot and cold dishes la carte.
Some of the staff speak ok English & I found it no problem.
When we went down for breakfast you can speak to the pool staff and reserve any position at the pool you want for that day, they will keep it for you.
Drinks & poolside food was excellent staff were super helpful & always smiling.
In the evening the day trippers leave & the resort became truly tranquil, sitting near the pool bar sipping cocktails.
The reception keep in contact via WhatsApp for me this was in English language no issues.
The day before we departed they contacted us and offered various departure times for the boat with option to stay at the resort for the day.
Boat back to the mainland crew help with luggage & there are taxis waiting.

The facilities at namaste were really beautiful and made with love, from the beach lounging beds to the shell taps, the winding flowers growing up the buildings and the crafts built into the floor and hanging in the trees it’s really well done. They also host several retreat workshops through the day which made it very special and communal so that was great for a solo traveler. There is a regular boat bus arrive which can shuttle you to the city and back easily if you want to get off the island for the day and the food is delightful.

Tierra Bomba was a short 10-minute boat ride from Cartegena.
Tierra Bomba was a short 10-minute boat ride from Cartegena. It was situated on a long private beach with plenty of daybeds to choose from. The rooms were spacious and close to the pool/beach/restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious. On our final night, we upgraded to the Private Villa with a Private pool and it was WELL WORTH IT! The private courtyard was beautiful and the pool was refreshing. The room was huge, comfortable and came with an outdoor bathroom.

This island is about a 35 minute boat taxi from Cartagena.
This island is about a 35 minute boat taxi from Cartagena. We rode back seats on a motorcycle tour through Boca Chica. It was a different world touring a local fishing village. Everyone was friendly. It's a place that may experience growth due to it's location and amenities.

Tierra Bomba is a piece of heaven on earth.
Tierra Bomba is a piece of heaven on earth. Great for relaxing and partying. Staff is hospitable. Luis & Hamilton went above and beyond. Facilities were perfect to my taste. Rooms decent size, very clean and seemed they keep them up with a refresh coat of paint every so often.
We stayed in one of the villas for 3 nights and it was a highlight of our week long trip to Cartagena. The city is very busy and can be overwhelming at times so it was nice to get a little break at this great hotel and beach club. The food was great and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend hotel fenix to anyone visiting. Also a plus that it’s a very short boat trip from the city. The villa with private pool was perfect
Convenient location but the beach is dirty. The hotel was very disorganized and we wasted a lot of time trying to fix problems with the booking. good takes very long from when you order to when they bring the food so you need to be patient! what we really liked and enjoyed was the activities and experience available to guests. that was excellent and great!! Yoga, fire ceremony very special!
Perfect getaway for young family living up the full on beach club life but appreciating tranquility and the pool to ourselves either side of the day when the revellers return to Cartagena. Amazing music, food and hospitality.
We have fallen in love with this island, the hotel and the staff.
One day we will return.
Go for the day, go for a whole week, just go!....

The hotel is close to Cartagena and the transportation being included is a plus. The service was excellent and the decoration was on point. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations every time. Capo made sure our stay was unforgettable, he was very polite and friendly, attentive to any requests. Lovely stay with the family
The location is amazing, the staff were very kind, helpful and friendly. I had a very good time there, specially because of Astro, Vanessa, Kathy and Ferney! you feel like in a family!
The rooms and the hotels installations have a lot details, they are just beautifully thought
It was amazing staying here, the Beach is just in front of the Hotel, kind of private beach, nice view and Sunset, Safe and clean beach, the Staff was very helpfull and friendly, we will stay here again 100% if we have the chance to back to Cartagena La Fantastica🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
One of the better places to stay in Tierra Bomba. Nice pool, friendly people and a restaurant. Pool is excluded from really loud music (which is common for all places in Tierra Bomba as it is a party Island during the day for local people)
My girlfriend had a medical emergency to do with her pregnancy and the staff there were so helpful and swift to respond. They arranged a boat to the hopital and for us to stay in their sister hotel. Truely amazing
The food - the drinks - daily happy hour - and especially the excellent A/C in our room!
The staff was wonderful - helpful and engaging! I have already recommended this hotel to a couple of friends!
The pool and hotel and rooms are done out very nicely and are well maintained. It’s a very relaxing space and the staff in the main are very helpful and accommodating.
Being on the closest island to Cartagena was most convenient, but the food was underwhelming and the hotel was like being in an abandoned school ground.
Everything about the hotel is great, from the beach, the food, the attention, the facilities, everything! do not hesitate spending a day or two in here!
