Most day passes sold out of Cartagena land you on a beach the hotel shares with everyone else. Isla del Encanto owns its island, so the stretch of sand in front of the loungers belongs to the property — no boats unloading beside you, no vendors working the row.

The four-tier structure is the other reason to look at it. Almost every club in the archipelago sells one pass and one price. Here you can put a couple on Premium and a group of friends on Black in the same booking, or step up to Gold and stop counting drinks entirely. The Terrestre option also makes this one of the few island day passes that can be reached by road, which matters if someone in the group would rather not spend two hours on a boat.

It suits families — there are children’s rates from age two — and it suits anyone who wants the privacy of a hotel island without booking a night.
