Hip Getsemani centers on Holy Trinity Square, where laid-back groups gather to drink beer, listen to street musicians and snack on grilled arepas from nearby stalls. Lively pizzerias and casual bistros serving Colombian staples line the surrounding streets, which are also known for their vivid murals. Brewpubs, cocktail bars and the amed salsa bar Cafe Havana, keep the party vibe going till the early hours. ― Google

Islas del rosario
I believe there are 27 islands and about 24 are private and have a limited capacity. These are the ones we have visited and our personal opinions and thoughts. Please add new ones and your thoughts for future guests.
Playa Blanca-Baru – Most popular beach and therefore more crowded. Great if you want to meet new people and party. Has more food, drink and music options but also has a lot of vendors. So you had to be firm when saying no!
La playa más popular y por lo tanto más concurrida. Genial si quieres conocer gente nueva y fiesta. Tiene más opciones de comida, bebida y música, pero también tiene muchos vendedores. ¡Así que tenías que ser firme cuando decías que no!
Isla Del Encanto – My favorite because of the white sand, clear water and activities! You can get massages, go kayaking, ride a jet ski, go snorkeling/diving, or just drink and sleep in a hammock under a bungalow or umbrella.
¡Mi favorita por la arena blanca, el agua clara y las actividades! Puedes recibir masajes, hacer kayak, montar en moto acuática, practicar snorkel o bucear, o simplemente beber y dormir en una hamaca debajo de un bungalow o sombrilla.
Bendita Beach - It’s a small beach with beautiful water and not too crowded. They have some water activities and a bar.
Es una playa pequeña con agua hermosa y no muy concurrida. Tienen algunas actividades acuáticas y un bar.
Lizamar – I can see how it would appeal to a family with little kids because of the pool/kid area, flamingos and the water slide into the ocean but the place is small and there is no beach. Would not recommend.
Puedo ver cómo atraería a una familia con niños pequeños debido a la zona de la piscina / niños, los flamencos y el tobogán de agua en el océano, pero el lugar es pequeño y no hay playa. No lo recomendaría.
Bora Bora - Would recommend for couples. It’s quaint and has a small beach area. Ideal if you just want to relax.
