We went with a group of about 15(ish) and spent a few hours here. The service was good, the food was good, but the views and the ability to have the whole place to ourselves and just jump in the water at our leisure was AMAZING! If you're spending time on the mainland in this region and there is a big group of you (or even just two of you!) I would highly recommend Isla Rosa. It's a beautiful getaway like you may have never seen before. Note: If you're not sleeping over, make sure you leave by 2ish (the waves back to the mainland get veryyyyy choppy if you leave after 2pm)

Upon arriving in Bogota and wondering what I had got myself into we quickly learned that this opportunity was a gift. The gift was having my eyes and consciousness opened to the wonder of the Colombian Culture and people. Our guide had suggested a few walking and funicular tours we could do with a day walking group tour or solo and we followed his advice closely. First we took the Funicular up to the cathedral atop Monserrate and were dumbfounded by the beauty and vista of Bogota from above. We joined a walking city tour and explored the old city and sampled exotic fruits and standard Colombian fare. Later we walked thru the Art Gallery to view some of Botero's art and then the Bibliotecha (Library) where a Mariposa (butterfly) photo display was on view. What a fantastic day of discovery before joining our nine day guided tour of Colombia.
