Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel

The accommodation impresses guests with its cleanliness, exceptional service, and luxurious amenities. The outdoor breakfast is praised, while the comfortable and spacious tents offer a luxurious glamping experience.

This is a very small island with the 18 glamping sites, the restaurant and nice beach area with canopies, and lounge chairs/tables. For me + family, this was disappointing experience. Pro: the glamping sites are neat, and nicely distance one from another with greenery and trees so the sitting areas in front of the tent are private. The tent was fine, furniture is high quality, but the bathroom lacks light and the toilet did not have either light or door, so that was a bit uncomfortable. The included breakfast was good, and luckily for breakfast there were no reservations needed. Cons: apart from taking tours with the hotel, there are very few things to do. The water in July was full of trash and green looking (I was told it is seasonal), and not inviting at all for swimming. We did kayaking (complimentary) and paddle board (complimentary) but that is 1h each. The walking tour was cancelled twice, so we went alone and it was muddy mess, but again 1h max. As for the hotel staff, everyone was super nice, but if you need anything it will be 45min or 1h. For fresh towel, (we stayed 3 nights and no towels were changed), they needed 1h, for getting our luggage from the reception area to the tent 5 (very close), 45min, for getting another portion of veggies in my dinner plate (have garlic allergy and even that I asked for no garlic in my meal the veggies came with garlic) 45 min. If this was some camping price place I would not have such high expectations, but the price was close to 400$ a night, and meals were about 80-90$ for 4 people.

We had the best time here for 3 nights as a family of 5. Our 3 daughters ages 11, 7, 2 had a blast. The staff is incredible and the resort has a very happy vibe. All the people that stay here are very outgoing and love to chat. We also did a private boat tour to La Isla tortuga that was one of our highlights of the stay. We stayed in the spacious master suite and it was well worth it with the extra space and wrap around porch. The food was delicious at every meal. It is glamping so be ready for the only downside was not having AC. Everything outweighs not having AC. The resort is clean and the rooms and bathrooms are nice and spacious as well as clean. We had monkeys walk over our porch and all through the trees around dusk. There were 3 momma monkeys with babies that we all enjoyed seeing. We enjoyed paddle boarding as a family. The resort arranged for us to see the bioluminescence and that was incredible at night. Everything was very easy here. We definitely recommend and will dream to return.
