We spent three nights at Punta Faro following a couple of days in Cartagena and really can't fault the hotel. The friendly and attentive staff made every effort to chat with us and ensure we were happy despite our poor spanish, and the fact that we were the only couple not part of the big Argentinian group also staying at...

We went to Punta Faro for our honeymoon after our destination wedding in Cartagena. We loved the hotel, but by far the best part of the trip was the hotel staff and the excellent service they provided. The hotel grounds are excellent and a great way to disconnect from city living. The hotel food was simple but very fresh and... More

This was a perfect antidote to Cartagena. A 2 hour, 150.000/RT boat ride away from the hustle and bustle of Cartagena is Hotel Punta Faro on Mucura Island. It is exactly how you imagine Caribbean resorts used to be -- lots of palm trees, coconut trees, thatched roofs, pina coladas and mojitos at the beach bar, private beach without people... More

This is a long overdue review for Punta Faro. We visited last February for three nights and had a wonderful stay. I was somewhat unsure as to what to expect since there weren't that many reviews at the time and some were older and mixed. It turned out to be a great stay all around. To start with, the boat...

Decided to book a couple days at Punta Faro after reading about it on Tripadvisor. And I'm SO glad I did. It was absolutely beautiful and serene. The facilities were modern and clean. The island and beach were some of the most beautiful I have ever been to. There were lots of activities to do (trips to nearby islands, snorkeling,... More

We have stayed all over the world in a variety of exotic beach resorts, especially in some of the less traveled parts of the Caribbean, such as Peter Island, Vieques, Culebra, Antigua, Tobago, etc. Punta Faro ranks with the best of the best. The resort is pure relaxation. The beach is spectacular, with crystal clear water and powdery white sand.... More

I thoroughly researched options for resorts in Islas del Rosarios y San Bernardos - the archipelago of protected marine parks closest to Cartagena, Colombia. In the end, I was so happy I went with Punta Faro. Even though it is a bit more expensive than other options, it is DEFINITELY worth it. I actually visited my second choice option (San... More

We stayed there for 3 nights the first week of December 2012 and really enjoyed. I was a little confused by the contradictory reviews I read online, however after staying there I now understand them. If you are going to this resort you need to understand that this is not a typical Marriott/Westin resort you would find in the Caribbean,... More
