beach day in the Rosario Islands for those who enjoy fun and partying on one of the beaches

The entire tour was very good, the experience at the oceanarium was lovely, although somewhat timed. The guide Ana was super friendly with everyone, speaks English very well. The only thing that seemed strange to me was that the tour instructions indicated we would travel by speedboat, but it was not. Additionally, the tour company is different from the one that offers the reservation. Things to improve: the boat has some details, but its crew was excellent, friendly, and helpful with my parents. Thank you very much for the service.

A lot of disorganization

Isla Sol y Papaya has an artificial beach... very dirty with seaweed and other debris... bad food... do not go... avoid this place

Operator response

Hola pointn20, Lamentamos leer sobre su mala experiencia, pero existe una confusión con su reserva. Nuestro tour "Top 5 Places you need to know around the island from cartagena" no visita, no incluye, ni tiene ninguna relación con la Isla Sol y Papaya. Nos tomamos muy en serio la organización y la limpieza de los puntos que sí operamos. Le sugerimos revisar detalladamente el nombre de la empresa o el operador con el que contrató dicha pasadía para que pueda dirigir su queja al lugar correcto. Quedamos a su disposición si desea verificar los detalles de su itinerario real con nosotros. Saludos, Equipo de Backpackers
