Rosario de Mar Ecohotel

I only give it 4 stars due to one factor, transportation is badly organised! Otherwise it definitely would be a five star rating. It really is a paradise hotel, and everyone is so helpful and friendly. The food is good and reasonably priced. I just felt they charged too much for the water. The management needs to take full responsibility for guests getting to and from their hotel.

We stayed for 7 nights from December 13-21, 2023. Know that you are not getting peace and quiet here. We thought a stay on a remote island would be the ideal place to relax, read a book, soak up the sun & sleep with the sound of the water. Not so. Each day, the property welcomes boats of day trippers from 9 am to 3 pm (some days 50-80 people.) Many other couples staying found it very disruptive, not just us. We told the manager that the loud music alternating from reggaeton, techno, and pop at the whims of staff was disruptive, but he responded they need to please the day trippers who want a fiesta. Reading on the beach meant using noise cancelling headphones. Napping in the sun was also impossible. The food was tasty and the menu large (if expensive), but some items never came or took 1.5h. Sleeping required earplugs as hotels around played loud music late at night. The base ingredients for this place to be amazing are there: The beaches are swimmable with turquoise waters; the rooms are large & clean. Staff are nice but the place is mismanaged and organization is clearly lacking. We were given a "family room" in the main complex with only 2 double beds when we booked a family cabaña with 3 beds as per the pictures, with the manager telling us that photos were just for "reference". The highlight for us were the excursions with Simón and Ezekiel, who can be hired on the beach. If you don't mind the noise, go ahead. Otherwise, we don’t recommend it.
