Rosario Islands
|
The idyllic Rosario Islands (or Islas del Rosario as they are known in Spanish), are a group of some 30 small islands protected by a National Park. Boats depart every morning (none in the afternoon) from Cartegena, and the scenic trip takes 90 minutes. The Rosario Islands are very unspoilt and laid back, and the locals are very welcoming to visitors. Activites include a bike tour of the main Island, birdwatching, kayaking, a visit to the Aquarium for a look at some large fish, but above the main activity is chilling out on the beautiful beaches. These coral islands don't have many beaches, but the few that are present are uncrowded, clean and very relaxing.
Rosario Islands Hotels
There are only a handful of hotels in the Rosario Islands - all are very small, and some have better beach access than others. Pick of the bunch is San Pedro de Majagua, a lovely hotel with 3 beaches nearby. San Pedro's de Majagua's only flaw is it's poor service (or at least it was when we visited in July 2007). Other hotels in the Rosario islands include Isla del Pirata hotel, Isla Tijereta hotel and Hotel Kokomo. Hotel da Pietro also has a hotel on the Rosario Islands.
