Solange (10/5): Perfect place to disconnect and relax—a lovely paradise to be discovered - This was a fantastic highlight of our holiday. We loved the energy and concept of Centro Ubuntu, and all the staff made our family feel welcome. They assisted us with coordinating transportation to the island, and the drivers were kind and very reliable. I enjoyed the food, and most of all, there were great activities for the family. It is the perfect place to disconnect and relax—a lovely paradise to be discovered.
Maëlle (9/5): Merveilleux séjour - Le véritable point fort de l’établissement est sans aucun doute son personnel, qui est absolument adorable et attentionné. L’emplacement est également exceptionnel : le front de mer et l’accès aménagé à la mer sont tout simplement incroyables. Le restaurant mérite aussi une mention spéciale, nous nous sommes régalés. Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour et gardons un excellent souvenir de cette expérience. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans l’ensemble, et ces quelques remarques restent des détails d’amélioration. Nous sommes restés trois nuits, et la chambre n’a pas été nettoyée durant ce séjour. À minima, le vidage des poubelles aurait été apprécié. Par ailleurs, au regard du prix de la chambre, la mise à disposition de masques en libre-service aurait été un petit plus appréciable.
Ana Carina (10/5): - Que trabajen con la comunidad, el respeto por el descanso Que reciclen en el centro
Michal Augustin (10/5): YOU HAVE TO COME HERE! :) - Loved it from the beginning to the end! The place, the beach, the rooms, the food, the location. Carolina, the manager, was absolutely amazing! Zero waste and ecological thinking, everyone is super nice and friendly. One of the best accommodations I have had in my entire life! :) Nothing

Ernesto (8/5): Relaxen in angenehmer Atmosphäre - Die Anlage ist sehr schön und sauber. Mein Cabana entsprach meinen Erwartungen und ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Ventilator reicht aus, auch in den Zeiten in denen der Strom nur reduziert geliefert wird. Das Frühstück ist ok, mit Ausnahme der Preise für Nachschub. So kosten zwei Toastscheiben COL 10'000 (3 USD!). Der Sandstrand ist sehr klein aber sauber. Die Beleuchtung auf der Veranda ist zu schwach nützt nichts (auch wenn der Strom zu 100% da ist). Die Liegestühle sind praktisch alle schmutzig. Wenn der Wind von Norden weht, hat es an diesem Strand praktisch kein Lüftchen und es ist auch am Schatten fast nicht zum Aushalten. Nachschub für Morgenessen ist unangemessen teuer. Zwei Toastscheiben für COL 10'000. Die vermittelte Schnorcheltour (1h, COL 90'000) kann man sich sparen. Die Korallen sind tief unter dem Wasserspiegel, viele sind weiss und farblos und man sieht nur ein paar Fischchen. Da gibt es an der Playa libre (7 min. gegenüber) besseres und erst noch günstiger!
Melissa (10/5): We came as a couple with our 6 year old daughter, the small private beach was safe and calm for our daughter. The food i - Peaceful, rustic and always has the environment in its thoughts. Nothing.
Daphné (10/5): Un pequeño paraíso - El lugar es espectacular, el personal muy atento, quisiera volver ya! Nada
Huimin (9/5): If you're going to Isla Grande, stay on the beach — Centro Ubuntu delivers the full experience. - Carolina makes this stay. She is incredibly attentive, walks you through everything you need to know, and gives genuinely helpful recommendations. The tour activities are well organized — the bioluminescent night tour was a once-in-a-kind experience; swimming among glowing planktons is something we still can't believe we got to do. The snorkeling was decent and enjoyable, even if the reefs elsewhere impressed us more. The property sits right on the beach, which on Isla Grande is everything. There's also a lovely human element — the family lives on the property, and our daughter got to connect a little with their daughter. Watching the local kids head off to school by speedboat in their uniforms was one of those unexpected moments that sticks with you. It's the priciest place we stayed and transportation is not included — Carolina will help you arrange it, but budget accordingly. You will feel like you're paying American prices. That said, for what's delivered, it met expectations and then some.

Charlie (10/5): Paradise - Highly recommend staying here. The hosts and staff were lovely and very knowledgeable and the place is very tranquil. There’s a small beach you can swim in the sea and snorkel. We did some excursions with Filip and he was fab. We went with our 5 year old who made friends with some local Kids and really loved it too. Definitely go to the island and definitely stay here! :) Nothing
Emmanuel (9/5): Très agréable séjour - Nous avions préféré les transferts organisés par Centro Ubuntu, pas donné mais tellement plus simple et pratique. L’accueil de Carolina a l’arrivée est parfait, avec quelques mots en français ! Ravis du logement, sa petite terrasse et son hamac, sa vue au bord de l’eau Literie ok, débit d’eau limité et pas très chaude mais franchement pas un problème ! L’espace transat au bord de l’eau est très bien aménagé et décoré. La plage est petite mais très suffisante, un peu de snorkeling est effectivement possible directement après quelques mètres dans l’eau. Les petits déjeuners sont frais et très corrects Tout le personnel est aux petits soins, merci particulier à Myriam toujours souriante. Par rapport aux commentaires des années précédentes sur l’état général du site (travaux, matériaux, odeurs), très bonne surprise : ce n’est plus le cas, tout l’espace est bien rangé et balayé quotidiennement. Nous avons passé 3 jours très agréables, au calme dans un environnement magnifique entourés de personnes adorables. Je recommande vivement Centro Ubuntu La location de masque pour le snorkeling est payante Juste un raté concernant une excursion, nous l’avons raté car nous n’attendions pas au bon endroit ….
Alessia (10/5): Oasi incantata a Isla Grande - Il centro Ubuntu è un'oasi incantata su Isla Grande: personale super attento, disponibile e competente. Cabañas davvero accoglienti, bagno aperto con tetto in foglie di palma superlativo. Tante attività da organizzare con guide locali (come snorkel in mezzo al plancton di notte, snorkel alla barriera corallina, canoa nella laguna di mangrovie). Spiaggia privata splendida con lettini e una copertura in legno da sogno per rilassarsi fino al tramonto. Davvero consigliatissimo! Tutto sopra le aspettative, complimenti!
Stefano (10/5): - Bungalow ampio, fresco e pulito. Massima tranquillità per chi vuole rilassarsi. Piccole calette, mare tranquillo e pulito. Staff molto disponibile, con possibiltà di escursioni interessanti con guide locali. Ristorante buono con prodotti freschi. Niente
Katherine (10/5): - Absolutely everything! It’s the perfect place to go if you want to relax and unplug.
Juan1111 (7/5): - El lloc es fabulos El personal es poc professional. Tarden moltissim a fer qualsevol cosa, s obliden... es una llastima perque el lloc es fantastic

Melissa (8/5): Nous avons pu profiter des activités et nous reposer dans un très beau cadre comme prevu - L'emplacement est fidèle à la description. Nous avons aimé les valeurs des personnes ayant créé le lieux. Le lieu était très paisible et bcp d'aménagement pour se reposer. La cuisine est très bonne. Merci! 1 des petits lits était un peu ferme. Notre logement était mitoyen, sous le même toit qu'un autre logement. Nous entendions bcp les voisins et donc nous devions aussi faire très attention au bruit car nous n'avions pas le même rythme. Je ne suis pas sûre que ce soit précisé dans la description du logement.
Jean-Philippe (8/5): Séjour au calme pour visiter l’île - Accès plage privé. Environnement calme. Le retour en bateau collectif était dangereux au vue de la houle et de la conduite très rapide. Privilégier le transfert proposé par l’hôtel via Baru.
Nienke (9/5): Heerlijk verblijf gehad. - Mooie, rustige locatie.
carmen (8/5): -
Volker (10/5): Karibik pur - Centro Ubuntu ist ein Öko-Resort und entsprechend ausgerichtet. Schöne Lage am Wasser mit kleinem Strand. Super nettes Personal und alles immer frisch zubereitet.

eric (8/5): -
Hermes (10/5): Tranquilidad y descanso real - La tranquilidad que se siente. La comodidad de las cabañas y todas sus instalaciones. El concepto de ser un hotel ecológico le da una conexión muy especial con la naturaleza y la comunidad.
Paula (9/5): Experiència autèntica, unica i inoblidable - Ubuntu és un espai molt especial. No és un lloc fet per algú que busqui luxe, però sí per viure una experiència autèntica en una illa del Carib amb totes les comoditats. La ubicació és privilegiada, amb el moll amb les tumbones i l’accés directe a la platja a tocar. El menjar, tant esmorzar, dinar com sopar estava molt bo. Recomano provar la llimonada de coco, deliciosa! Pel preu, podria incloure com a mínim l’àpat de l’esmorzar, ja que tot són extres. Llàstima que la segona nit i havia música forta a un lloc proper a l’hotel i costava dormir.
Pam (8/5): Glad we stayed a few days - Beautiful location, helpful staff. Overall, the ambiance was low key and family-like. Island was walkable (no cars) and there were many restaurants/bars to choose from. We stayed 3 nights and were glad we didn’t opt for a day trip We would have benefitted from more light in the room. Bring your bug spray!
Sandra (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay at Centro Ubuntu. The location is ideal with private beach access just a few steps from the room. The cabaña was clean, comfortable and well equipped with mosquito nets, towels etc. The restaurant on site makes tasty food and has some Vegetarian options. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We were given a nice welcome, detailed insights on Ubuntu and the island and the possibility to book activities. We were also kindly allowed to leave our luggage before and after check in. On the day of our departure, weather conditions meant the transportation company couldn’t pick us up on Isla Grande and we had to stay an extra night. That was obviously nobody’s fault. At first, we were told that Ubuntu might be able to host us for another night at a “good discount” to help us out. Later, management declined this and it was then communicated that the maximum discount would have anyway been 10% on consumption only (which is already very reasonably priced). Since the room at Ubuntu is 3x the price of similar cabañas nearby (without beachfront), we went looking for an alternative place. We were offered significant discounts everywhere we went, as the island was essentially empty since no new guests could arrive. We decided to move, and were surprised about the fact the place where we had stayed and eaten every single meal for four days was the only one charging us full price. Centro Ubuntu highlights community as one of their core values. Community is not what we felt upon leaving.
Moïse (8/5): Great location and great people - The location and the people are exceptional always paying attention . Kids friendly.The rooms are comfortable despite the limited access to resources. The eco- concept is also valuable. While playing the « eco » card comes at cost, the value for money is not favourable . Noise from neighbouring bar (music during the day, generator early morning)
Valentina Pentimalli (10/5): 5 estrellas no son suficiente.. - … para comentar a Ubuntu! El sitio? Sencillamente y verdaderamente un paraíso! Todo muy curado, limpio y confortable. Nuestra cabańa estaba muy fresca. Hay agua y corriente durante todo el día - en otros hostales de la isla no es así. El equipo? Te acoge como si fueras familia. Carolina siempre super gentil, profesional y confiable. Nos ayudó mucho en planear ida/vuelta y otras planes de viaje. Las chicas de la cocina encantadoras!! Mis amigas y yo estuvimos muy contentas de llegar a conocerlas como amigas. Nos han cuidado mucho!. La comida? Superlativa. Pescado y fruta siempre frescos. Platos de la cocina local deliciosamente bien hechos. Si no hubiera vivido en la otra parte del mundo habría vuelto a Ubuntu por lo menos una vez a l’ańo. Sin duda se quedará en mi corazón! Gracias por todo!Valentina Jane y Benny
Hugo (9/5): Super eco hotel avec plage privée et excursions privées - Personnel très sympa et avenant, l'emplacement est génial dans un super cadre d'une super ile. Très belles excursions privées également Manque d'eau chaude et confort sommaire mais reste largement vivable et agréable
Adam (7/5): - Domki z widokiem na morze są ok, blisko do pomostu z leżakami. Śniadania ok, choć bez rewelacji. Na pewno godny polecenia jest sposób transportu z/do Cartageny zaproponowany przez obsługę ośrodka. Brak ciepłej wody pod prysznicem, kiepska oferta w restauracji, ale niedaleko, ze 100 metrów obok jest fajna i smaczna restauracja.

Kristin (10/5): Fantastisch - Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am Meer und wird von einer liebevollen Familie geführt. Man wird sehr herzlich empfangen (danke Sebastian!) und vor allem das Servicepersonal ist sehr herzlich und außergewöhnlich freundlich. Das Essen war super lecker (gute Portionen) und die Anlage noch sehr neu und mit Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Zur Unterkunft gehört ein eigener kleiner Privatstrand, an dem man wunderschön schnorcheln kann, auch wenn der Schnorchelausflug zum Korallenriff noch interessanter ist. Ausreichend Strom und Wasser war jederzeit vorhanden. Alles war sehr sauber und wurde auf Wunsch gereinigt. Das Moskitonetz über dem Bett ist top und hält alle Mücken fern. Wir würden sofort wiederkommen. Wir waren 5 Nächte dort und wer Strand, Sonne und Meer mit Schnorcheln liebt, dem wird nicht langweilig. Es gibt nichts auszusetzen.

Pedro Ivo (10/5): Pequeno paraíso - Hotel em praia pequena e linda. Funcionários muito amáveis. Ótima opção para descansar em paz. Um pequeno paraíso.
Carlos Alberto (10/5): - Excelente. La playa y un sitio espectacular para conectar
Dante (9/5): - Ce fut très paisible, très reposant
Kassidy (10/5): - Relaxing stay on the beach with a small beach access point for swimming. Friendly staff, very family friendly and great food in the restaurant
Isabelle (10/5): Une parenthèse enchantée - Le cadre est idyllique c’est une parenthèse paradisiaque Carolina est une belle personne et une hôtesse très prévenante qui aide organise nos activités ( plancton luminescent snorkling sortie pêche pour mon fils ) elle nous guide en espagnol en anglais et même en français La petite plage privée est très agréable pour faire du snorkling et la grande plage publique est juste à côté ( on peut louer des masques pour la journée dans le centre) Notre bungalow face à la mer était incroyable les ventilateurs et moustiquaires ont été appréciés RIEN
Claudia (9/5): Ubuntu - Oase der Ruhe und Freundlichkeit - Der allerbeste Ort auf der Insel: wenige Menschen, Ruhe, Schnorchelmöglichkeit, tolles Wasser. Wir waren in einer der neuen Hütten untergebracht. Sehr gute Matratzen. Zum Glück auch immer ruhige Nachbarn, denn man teilt sich ein Häuschen. Natürlich gut abgetrennt. Schön wären Möglichkeiten, Kleidung irgendwo aufzuhängen. Wenn man was möchte, wie frische Handtücher z.B., sollte man fragen. Die Mitarbeitenden sind unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und waren glücklich, ausgerechnet hier gebucht zu haben. Die Insel ist nämlich zum Teil ganz schön auf Schickimicki ausgerichtet. Im Ubuntu, und dem kleinen Dorf, sind alle bodenständig und authentisch geblieben.

Sergio (10/5): Excelente calidad-precio - La atención de las personas Zonas comunes están bien peor podrían mejorar
Marlise (9/5): - Die Lage, die Insel. Ein einfachwr Zimnerservice, ohne dass man darum bitten muss, fände ich gut.
Ella (10/5): We had a wonderful stay at Ubuntu- after searching for a while we are so glad we chose here. The staff are lovely, the f - Such a beautiful location- super peaceful and well looked after!
Jackii (10/5): A place to detox and rewind. - This is the place to relax. It’s not posh but it is authentic. We lived the fact that there was a kindergarten as well. The staff are friendly and helpful. Sebastian was fantastic. Loved our trips especially snorkelling. If you want sir conditioning - don’t come here
Edu (8/5): - La ubicación con su playa y muelle propio y la tranquilidad del lugar. Es de lo mejor que hay calidad/precio en la isla. El bungalow estaba limpio y bien cuidado. La cama es cómoda. La comida por cantidad, calidad y precio creo que podría estar un poco mejor.
Alexandre (10/5): - Magnifique endroit pour se détendre en compagnie d'hôtes attachants. Une équipe exceptionnelle !!!
Patrick (10/5): - The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There were lots of great activities to do.
Gabrielle (10/5): -
Mateo (8/5): - Razón social, personal amable Nos ofrecieron un tour de plancton luminoso , diciendo que era la única forma de ver la bioiluminisencia, y diciéndonos varias veces que no había otra forma de ir al lago sino pagando… al final el lago si se podía acceder caminando
Olivia (10/5): -
Charlotte (10/5): -
Celene (8/5): - La playa con que cuenta aunque es pequeña es muy linda. La habitación es de buen tamaño así como el baño. La limpieza es buena y la atención del personal es excelente. Nos tocó coincidir con huéspedes muy escandalosos y todo se escuchaba en la habitación, imposible dormir una noche. Tal vez deberían poner un horario para evitar esta situación.

XavierCLL (10/5): One of the best eco/comunity project hotel that I've ever been - This project goes beyond being just a hotel. It is a community-focused eco-project with the goal of restoring native nature (mangrove and coral reefs), and simultaneously empowering the local community through sustainable eco-tourism and supportive initiatives.
Simone (7/5): Trotzdem ok! - Sehr nettes Personal. Betten waren veraltet. Kein Warmwasser.
Edmond (9/5): - Calme, authentique, agréable. Petite plage agréable. Accueil sympathique
Juliette (10/5): - Le personnel est adorable ! Répond à toutes les questions. Le projet en tant que tel est également très intéressant. L’île de manière générale a une histoire intéressante et vaut le détour. La vibration positive de cette île se fait ressentir ! La nourriture est délicieuse et très fraîche. L’emplacement est très bien car il y a une petite plage en dessous, ce qui est pratique. L’heure est à la déconnexion et à la détente. L’endroit est très joli ! Je retournerai sans hésiter !
Amélie (10/5): -
Kurt (9/5): - Gutes Frühstück und Essen, Lage direkt am Meer mit kostenlosen Liegen. Man konnte schön schwimmen und schnorcheln. Eine Oase der Ruhe inmitten der Natur Der Strom im Zimmer war zu schwach.
Ruth (9/5): Peaceful eco-friendly retreat in stunning nature - Ubuntu is a really special place. The location is gorgeous with beautiful views of the sea, a lovely deck for sunbathing, a small private beach to get in the water and lots of eco-friendly activities. We enjoyed spontaneously seeing the luminescent plankton at night! The team and staff are all very friendly and helpful. Delicious food too! Our room was comfortable with fans and mosquito nets, a porch with a hammock and seating and a wonderful outdoor shower. Nothing.
NURIA (9/5): - Ideal para desconectar, comida muy rica y personal muy amable.
Emmanuelle (10/5): Un séjour parfait à Isla Grande - L'emplacement est magnifique et paisible! L'accueil de Carolina a été fabuleux et le personnel est aux petits soins. Les hébergements sont très beaux, très propres et la literie confortable. Le ponton avec les transats appelle à la détente, la petite plage permet de se rafraîchir et d'observer la vie marine. Le restaurant a une carte variée, accessible et les plats sont bons. Nous avons fait l'excursion de plancton bioluminescent, une expérience incroyable avec Fili! Rien
Katherine (10/5): Lovely eco hotel on Isla Grande! - Amazing location, very quiet and relaxing and close enough to the beach clubs to go but far enough away for some tranquility. Carolina is incredibly accommodating and helpful. The cabins are great size and well equipped. It was nice to be able to book activities directly through Ubunto as well. Lots of mosquitoes, so bring spray and anti-itch cream! But there are mosquito nets in the rooms which helps a lot at night!

Janire (10/5): Estancia genial - El personal muy amable, nos han gestionado el traslado desde Cartagena. La comida muy rica. Todo muy limpio. Hay mosquiteras en las camas. Se adaptaron perfectamente a nuestros cambios de planes de última hora. Muy recomendable. El chorro de la ducha tenía poca agua.
James (10/5): Amazing stay on an island paradise - Loved the stay, very well maintained and clean, extremely helpful staff, beautiful setting and incredible food. Thank you!
Rafael (9/5): - La tranquilidad del alojamiento, su playita privada, la comida, la estancia en general está repleta de encanto. Recomendadas las actividades que puedes reservar directamente en el alojamiento y el traslado privado desde Cartagena. Está a 10 minutos andando a playa libre y a otras playas de ensueño. Todo el personal es muy atento. Gracias en especial a Carolina, que estuvo pendiente en todo momento de que estuviéramos a gusto. Nada
Eva Milsted (9/5): Excellent -
Luis Alejandro (10/5): Un lugar para desconectarse! - Es un lugar muy tranquilo para estar en contacto con la naturaleza. El mar es protagonista de la experiencia y el equipo de gente que nos atendió es muy servicial. Se evidencia el cuidado que tienen del medio ambiente y que es un proyecto con gente local. Nos gusto todo, no es un lugar para gente que quiera música a alto volumen o fiesta.
Brigitte (10/5): Entspannte Tagen - Die ruhige Lage am Strand, die Aussicht und das tolle Essen
Maria Jesus (9/5): El paraíso si te gusta el concepto de ecohotel - Para mí fue el paraíso, para mi pareja, que es más de resort, no tanto. Te tiene que gustar el concepto de eco hotel con sus ventajas e inconvenientes. Me encantó que la cabaña tuviera vistas al mar, descansar en la hamaca de la terraza y sobre todo, poder hacer un snorkel decente en la misma playa del hotel y hacia el muelle local a su izquierda. El agua de la ducha, tibia, o las paredes de bambu, ni son molestas ni falta intimidad. Hay mosquitera aunque no hubo mosquitos. La falta de a/c se suple con ventiladores. Hace calor por la noche. Las excursiones que ofrecen, como las de snorkel y la de placton bioluminiscente, tiene buen precio y están a cargo de gente local, muy profesional. Recomendables. Si el mar estuviera algo picado en este lado de la isla, en el otro (playa libre, a 10 mn andando ) es una piscina, y a la inversa. Ninguna comida está incluida ni es barata, pero tampoco lo es en el resto de la isla. Hay un local de “pasadia”inmediato, con música y lanchas ocupando el muelle próximo, que resta algo de magia al lugar.
Severine (9/5): Magnifique séjour ! - Magnifique endroit en bord de mer . Un vrai paradis . Les personnes de l'hôtel sont adorables . Le restaurant est très bon !
Adriana (10/5): Descanso. - Las instalaciones. La comida. Es demasiado básico.
Marco (8/5): - Nice place and quiet. Some people of the staff were very friendly, like the guy who helped us with the luggage at our arrival and the ladies in the kitchen. The room was nice and clean with a nice view. The door of our room opened very easily even when locked, with the wind, a little push so at night it might not be very safe, especially having loads of stray dogs living on the island and coming to the entrance of the lodge at night. Moreover on our last night we heard some shouting in Spanish coming from a lodge, which contributed to not feeling so safe at night.
Fabio (10/5): - Tutto, bellissimo posto immerso nella natura. Carolina e tutto lo staff sono stati super. Consiglio a chiunque vorrà passare qualche giorno a Isla grande Nulla
Wiebe (8/5): enerverend - geen opmerkingen. buitengewoon vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, met name de bedrijfsleidster nvt
Albert (7/5): - Very friendly staff, went out of their way to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. We stayed in an older cabin, which was showing its age.
Andrea (10/5): Little slice of paradise - We had an incredible stay at this eco hotel—a truly rustic and off-the-beaten-path gem that was exactly what we were looking for. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendliest staff. A special shout out to the amazing kitchen ladies who were so kind and patient with our Spanish, we enjoyed the tasty food. But the real star of the show was Carolina. We honestly can’t put into words how fantastic she was. She knew all the best local activities, booked them for us with trusted guides at great rates, and her passion for the island and its conservation was infectious. She really helped us understand the magic behind this beautiful place. The snorkelling, both in the coral reef and with the bioluminescent plankton was unforgettable. We also snorkelled off the small private beach and there were loads of fish to observe. Our accommodation was super comfortable with a strong fan that kept us cool at night, and we loved relaxing in our hammock, on the deck chairs, or in the relaxing communal places. The island itself is quite rural and underdeveloped however this hotel felt like a true slice of paradise. We had a great time!
Ellen (10/5): Peaceful and beautiful - Beautifully located by the sea, Ubuntu has a subtle luxury that can be appreciated by nature lovers. It’s low key friendly atmosphere made us feel very comfortable straight away. Of course sleeping just a few meters from the sea in good beds and crisp linen also helped. 😀 I guess we have some concerns about the eco concept. The place clearly has great ideals and ideas, but certain things, like the use of concrete slabs many places seems unnecessary for a eco place. However, we are sure there are reasons for the choices, and we didn’t stay long enough to figure out what is was.
Am (9/5): Beautiful and friendly island vibe! - Has a quiet, local family island vibe including chickens and dogs walking around. Beautiful view. Super friendly staff! Eco friendly set up. Quiet, good location on the island, nice kitchen. As in description and good to know: there’s no electricity in the huts except for a fan and light. You can charge phone safely at the reception.
Lolly (10/5): Exceptional - The best part is the sense of community. You feel welcomed in Ever and Margarita's family. Swimming with the children, the values, meeting other travelers, the location, and being away from the party vibe were amazing. You feel well cared for by everyone. Thank you Lily, Liliana, Margarita, Ever, and Carolina! I loved Ubuntu! It's the best place to stay on Isla Grande if you like a tranquil environment. You are on a beautiful beach, near Laguna Encantada on a lovely part of the island. I highly recommend staying at Ubuntu. There are beautiful new rooms. Ours was a little older and had a little must, which is natural in humid climates. And it was labeled sea view but the view is when you are outside the room. I wasn't able to tell what distinguished the newer and older rooms when I was booking. Also the kitchen is lovely, sometimes food took a while to prepare which we understand and were explained.
Christina (10/5): Incredible place to stay - Amazing stay. Clean, comfortable room with balcony and hammock facing the sea. Private beach with loungers. Friendly and helpful staff, good food. Great snorkeling and bioilluminescent plankton tour. Great communication throughout. Highly recommend.
Jessie (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was fantastic and the location is beautiful! All of the staff were lovely. Carolina is a brilliant host from start to finish, organised our transfers and helped with booking our tours. Perfect place to stay for some tranquillity and peace.
Tomas (10/5): Exceptional - Such a tranquil place, run by the loveliest people. We loved how they ran the eco hotel, their conservation efforts and the very knowledgeable and friendly guides for all of the activities. Carolina is a superstar host who makes you feel at home instantly.
Charlotte (8/5): A real get away relax location - Loved the simplicity of the accommo and the incredible view from the sun loungers. The building work and lack of planting in the grounds
Lo (9/5): Quiet Eco Lodge - We felt right at home at Centro Ubuntu. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, especially with coordinating transportation back and forth to Cartagena and navigating the different options. Our room was clean, breazy, private and comfortable. They offer daily room cleaning. Each room has one or two fans which are powered by a generator at night and all rooms have large windows and mosquito nets. The fans can be noisy, be sure to bring earplugs. During the day there is a charging station at the reception for cell phones and such. They offer food on site and there are some beach beds by the water as well as a sandy entrance into the water to swim. They have snorkeling equipment for rent and can help organize activities. They are currently building additional rooms and it might be relevant to note that some of the rooms have outdoor showers where one might be eye level with the construction staff during the day. The place remains quiet and peaceful despite the construction.
