Rosario Del Mar – Authentic Caribbean Beach Club Cartagena
A Calm, Hotel-Style Island Day in the Rosario Islands
Hotel Rosario del Mar by Tequendama offers one of the most structured and comfortable island experiences in the Rosario Islands — a private eco-hotel setting designed for travelers who value organization, clear logistics, and a more peaceful beach environment.
This is not a party island. Rosario del Mar is better suited for couples, families, and mixed-age groups looking for a classic Caribbean escape with hotel-style service, included lunch, and a calmer atmosphere than louder beach clubs.
Two official day pass options let you choose between a simple, well-organized island day or an upgraded version with a light open bar — always in a more relaxed setting. Limited spaces per day.
- Hotel-style organization inside the Rosario Islands National Natural Park
- Comfortable and calm atmosphere for a more structured island day
- Two official day pass plans adapted to different preferences
- Lunch included in both plans with six menu options
- Good option for couples, families, and mixed-age groups
- Open bar plan available without turning the island into a party scene
