Isla Tijereto

Klein und familiär. Ruhig (kein TV) und lokal eingerichtet: Keine unnötigen Fensterscheiben und Klimaanlagen.

Eduardo and the staff is welcoming and always here to help you in any case!

Time here is like stepping back into the 1940/50s. The property itself was once a family villa that has a colonial air about it. Sitting on the veranda at night supping a glass of something or other it felt as though I'd inherited a sugar plantation. Electricity is generated by solar, water is a precious commodity. There is no air conditioning. Instead, Isla Tijereto boasts simple fans and lukewarm gravity-fed showers. It sets Isla Tijereto apart. Personally, I loved it. Food wise; breakfast, lunch and dinner are perfectly fine. Wine, when available is good. Eduardo, the owner, is warm, attentive and speaks fluent English. When Eduardo is around the staff are really on their game (but not so much when he leaves). If you want high-end luxury go somewhere else but if you’re looking for an atmospheric short stay bolthole, it is perfect.

Getting there and back - journey takes an hour in choppy waters, plus local boatmen drive like madmen! It is really, really bumpy, and wet, if you are prone to seasickness (I am) take tablets. And pray for calm seas.

The staff was simply amazing; extremely welcoming, warm, friendly and fun! The also have a dive center at the premises, which made it very comfortable to organize some dives during our stay there; the diving team was equally helpful and friendly. The accommodation (as described) is very rustic and spartan. But if you are fine with that, then I would recommend this place and the island in general for a typical Colombian Caribbean experience :)

Some basic lighting at the entrance of the venue would have been welcomed, as it is completely dark at night.

I really that it has 2 beautiful beaches, one in the back of the property which is suuuper calm and good for snorkeling and one in the front that it more wavy

The restaurant doesn’t have many options, the ones that I had were ok, is more like a homemade food rather than a actual restaurant
