Beautiful setting. Excellent service and accommodations. Staff were always friendly and loved dining a outside a different spot each night. Snorkeling was not very good- hardly any coral, some fish but often poor visibility. We loved the nighttime plankton tour. Hotel has a very pleasant trail around the grounds and we did lots of birdwatching. Boat ride from Cartagena takes two hours and can be bumpy.

This is paradise. Whether you're here for relaxation or for activities, Punta Faro's got your back. As a family of 6 there's a plethora of requests and flavors. This is an average day: wake up and exercise on my sea view patio. Breakfast buffet with eggs to your liking and Colombian specialties like arepas. Kayaking around Mucura. Diving with Felipe who's been here since 93 and discovered the spots himself. He's a wonderful and skillful dive master that has taught my son well, he made PADI open water this week! Lunch with 3 courses and so much choice for each one. Snorkeling around a wreck and small reef in front of the beach. Massage in the spa. Tennis on the clay court. Beers on the sea view terrace. Dinner in the garden. And luckily I have 4 kids to do all this with as my wife would go nuts if she would have to keep me busy. There are also many Balinese style beds in the shade or the sun to relax. Other activities: catamaran, stand up paddle board, petanque, swimming with luminescent plankton. This was the highlight so far of our Colombia trip after 3 days being harassed in the streets of Cartagena. We needed this 6 day retreat. One thing you won't find here: music. Very good choice. Also, they are a privately owned hotel that works with local people and supports the fishermen in saving the turtles.

My 82-year-old mom and I spent 3 nights at Punta Faro in a Superior room. What an incredible experience!!! We were cordially welcome and introduced to the area. It is a large piece of land with so much well-maintained vegetation that you do not see other people if you do not want to. We were lucky to experience only very-well-behaved kids, so our stay was tranquil and relaxing. Our room was towards the end of the property, so we truly had peace and quiet while looking at the sea shore about 5 yards away from our door. Our room was impeccable, comfortable, very spacious, with all you may want (fridge, coffee maker, etc.). There was a choice of daily housekeeping. The hammock outside and the good outside light-design made evenings with a book very enjoyable. The only small inconvenience is the key system which makes it super-easy to lock yourself out. The food was very good and fresh, with a nice variety and in lovely surroundings. Staff was attentive and polite. Yes, extra things (excursions, equipment, etc.) cost extra, but someone has to maintain them. I found the cost of rental and of drinks in-between meals very reasonable. The beach is cleaned every morning and is impeccable, water is warm, bottom with golden sand. What else can be added? People complain about the cost "in comparison" to other places, but you get transportation and all the food food, so it seems average cost overall. It is a tranquil place, very much different from any "resorts" or "all inclusives". No loud music, individual service, family-like atmosphere.

Whether you are with your family or as a couple you will enjoy the calm of the resort Our stay after 2 weeks of visits , hiking across Colombia was exactly what we needed to rest Staff is welcoming and nice. I recommend to take a bungalow with see view The point to really improve is the food : it seems as industrial dishes without flavour, It is the element which id strongly out of step with the rest of the services In addition having a buffet behind a plexiglass , no salt pepper on the table, No marmelade . Honey , on the table. Is not what you expect from such resort
