Cardinal Dario Castrillon, the next Pope?

Info on Isla De Rosario

I am planning on going out to Cartagena in July and was looking for some feedback on Isla De Rosario. Specifically I want to stay out there for 1 or 2 nights and want to know which Island or Hotel out there is the most romantic.

Thanks Carl ...
