For around $68 per person, this day-long outing promises a fun mix of music, good eats, and beachside comfort.

What really makes this experience tick are two standout features: the exceptional live DJ sets that keep the energy high and the welcoming, friendly staff that make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Plus, the inclusion of lunch, drinks, and access to amenities makes this a convenient option for travelers looking for a carefree day.

The Experience in Detail

While in Cartagena, here are other experiences we've covered

The Departure and Journey

We loved the way the day kicks off at Muelle de la Bodeguita, a lively dock area packed with vendors and tour operators. From here, a private speedboat takes you across Cartagena Bay—a quick 15-minute ride that feels more like a scenic cruise than a transfer. Departures run every hour from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., giving you flexibility to choose your preferred time. As you sail past landmarks like the Virgin of the Fishermen, you’ll already start soaking in the spirit of the coast.

Arrival and Check-In

Once you arrive at La Punta, the welcome is warm and friendly. You’re greeted with a refreshing drink and guided to your beachfront bed—strategically shaded and positioned to enjoy the panoramic bay views. The staff’s enthusiastic energy sets a lively tone, and their professionalism quickly puts you at ease. Several reviews highlight how dedicated the team is—one guest praised the staff’s kindness and professionalism, saying they felt like part of a friendly family.

Activities and Atmosphere

The music is a major highlight here. The resident DJ spins a lively mix of House, Disco, and Latin rhythms, filling the air with beats that make it hard not to dance. The sound system is high quality, ensuring every beat hits just right. While lounging on your shaded bed, you can enjoy the music or take a dip in the crystalline pool or the sea. The floating platform and swings offer playful spots for relaxing or snapping a few Instagram snaps.

Amenities and Extra Activities

Beyond lounging and dining, the club offers various amusements. You can take part in beach volleyball, try a kayak (for an additional fee), or indulge in a massage—available for extra cost. The artistic decor, with “Instagrammable” spots like Phoenix-winged doors and swings over the water, adds an element of fun and visual appeal.

Sunset and Extended Options

As the day winds down, you can opt to stay until sunset or even extend your visit into the evening with a bonfire and live music until 10 p.m. The return trips are scheduled at 4:30, 5:30, and 6:30 p.m., with options to leave earlier or later depending on your plans. For those wanting a more immersive experience, some might consider combining this with a stay at the hotel, as suggested in the tour details.

What We Think

This day pass offers a balanced mix of lively entertainment and relaxing comfort. Its value lies in the all-inclusive setup—food, drinks, and access to amenities are bundled for convenience. The music, a standout feature, keeps the energy high, making it perfect for travelers who enjoy social and festive environments.

However, some travelers, like one review mentioned, found the water clarity less than ideal compared to other Caribbean beaches. If your main priority is pristine water for snorkeling or swimming, this might be a minor disappointment. But if you’re after a fun, music-filled beach day with good food and a lively atmosphere, this experience hits the mark.

The staff’s attention to detail and fun vibe make this a memorable escape from the city, especially for those who like to blend relaxation with entertainment. The visual appeal of the location—beach swings, floating platforms, and artful decor—will keep your camera busy.

Who Will Love This Experience?

This tour is perfect for groups of friends or couples seeking a lively, social environment. Families with older children might also enjoy the amenities and relaxed vibe, especially if they appreciate good music and tasty food. Solo travelers looking for a place to meet others will find the club’s friendly atmosphere welcoming.

If you’re someone who enjoys music, good food, and a mix of relaxation with a dash of fun, you’ll find this day pass a worthwhile addition to your Cartagena itinerary. On the other hand, if your main goal is untouched, pristine beaches or quiet solitude, you might prefer other options further from the city.
