Blue Apple Beach

We stayed at Blue Apple following my daughter's wedding in Cartagena. Our family and friends filled the entire resort. It was the greatest way to unwind ever!! The food, drinks, service and rooms were all top notch! I have just one regret - we only stayed one night and wished we had stayed two!! Blue Apple is magical!

Blue Apple 🍏 has been one of my favorite places since my first visit to Cartagena in November 2022. From the start, the staff has been absolutely incredible—every time I return, they remember me and my preferences, always going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. This was my first time back in a year, and I immediately noticed a few changes. There’s no longer a DJ playing fun beach vibes, and Yao, one of the servers and dancers, is no longer performing and interacting with guests as before—something that was a highlight of the Blue Apple experience. However, he now offers private dance lessons, which I highly recommend. It seems the resort is shifting toward a more relaxing, “bring a book and unwind” atmosphere, so if you’re looking for a party island, this may not be the spot. That said, Blue Apple remains one of my favorite resorts in Cartagena, offering a more intimate and personalized experience. If you have the chance, I also recommend staying overnight—it’s a whole experience in itself.

The property and experience of being there stood out in terms of it had everything we expected and more curation to the experience and hyperlocal feeling that was thoughtful and honest. The staff took care of us and were joyful and fun to interact with over the stay. Our room was extremely comfortable including the bed, the option for air conditioning, and plenty of space for our things. We enjoyed all of the effort and love that Blue Apple infused into our vacation on Tierra Bomba. All of the foods and drinks we had were beautifully crafted and shared with us. We can't recommend this place enough for a multiple overnight stay, an event or just a day trip to enjoy and hang in the main spaces. There was art, information. about sustainability initiatives and engagement that made us want to come right back to enjoy the amenities again. Thank you all!

Caribbean soul on all spaces! We loved the beach club, the drinks and food, very well prepared and with a good cost x benefit. The sound of the waves was great to sleep and we loved the room, open garden shower and varanda! The beach was not blue waters but is very clean and natural

Unforgettable experience! From the short boat ride to the island, to the welcome drink, every aspect of the experience was beautifully curated. Blue Apple Beach is the getaway you’ve been searching for. I spent 5 nights there and didn’t want to leave. Although if you really need to get back to the city Cartagena is only a 20 minute boat ride away. The staff is like a family and welcomed me into theirs. I also love that the establishment has a good relationship with the local community. Highly recommend and already planning on booking my return trip!

This place is the perfect island getaway. The Mamon Bugalow I had was incredible. The perfect thatched hut (with luxury) I was expecting. The SCUBA diving will be hard to beat anywhere. The reefs go on for miles and the life in them is teeming. The Paradismo dive crew is top notch and can work with all skill levels. The property is immaculate and the staff is full of the nicest and friendliest I have ever met. Some I even call friends now. The food, WOW. never once did I receive something I didn't like. If you get a chance to meet the owner you are in luck. She is a fascinating woman with an incredible vision of Blue Apple. She is very proud to tell you the story and quick to say she didn't do it alone. It's very commendable of what she and her team are doing there. It's not just a beautiful day to spend the day or week but way more than that.
