Hotel San Pedro de Majagua

$$$ | Cartagena, 130001, Colombia

As long as you have realistic expectations for an isolated hotel that caters to day-trippers, you'll find Majagua to be the best, most well-priced hotel on Isla Grande. The tiny beaches are decent, but most guests spend their days out and about, snorkeling the reefs, kayaking through the mangrove forest, or visiting the nearby aquarium. Once the day-tour crowds and hawkers leave, overnight guests can rent a stand-up paddleboard and head out for sunset, or simply grab a hammock or a deck chair and a cold coconut cocktail—this, after all, is why you're here. Food options are limited to the on-site restaurant, which offers tasty, seafood-driven fare at surprisingly reasonable prices. The hotel boats—which are an additional charge—leave Cartagena at 9 am and return at 3 pm; the trip can be choppy. Snorkeling tours with Dive Planet including transportation.

Hotel Spiwak Chipichape Cali

$$$ | Av. 6D 36N–18, Cali, Colombia

In House Hotel

$$ | Cra. 34 #7–109, Medellín, Colombia

A slightly cramped reception area underwhelms at first, but clean, bright rooms, a great staff, and affordable prices more than make up for it. Rooms, while not huge, are more than adequate, and some have a small balcony. Since it's a few blocks from Parque Lleras and its late-night party scene, the hotel's is rather quiet; it's also in close proximity to some of the area's best restaurants.

Interiors and public spaces are cool and airy with a colorful design, and the pool areas are well kept, with places to keep kids entertained and keep cold cocktails nearby.The standard buffets serve decent fare, but the on-site restaurants have quality offerings—even if getting a reservation at them is tricky during high season.

The restoration lacks a little authenticity, losing some of the historic charm, but the location, reasonable pricing, and friendly staff outweigh any potential negatives. Breakfast is basic fruit and eggs, but it's well prepared and will fill your belly. There's an on-site gym as well as a small sauna, and a spa with treatments that use local fruits, cacao, or olive oil as a base.

Rooms are massive, the smallest measuring 400 square feet, with soaring ceilings and flowing white curtains that amplify the feeling of space. Dark wooden flooring and low, voluptuous lighting are the norm, and freestanding tubs or skylight rain showers complete the sensation of luxury.
