Hotel Isla del Pirata
This Rosario Islands hotel is located on a tiny, private island just off the coast of Isla Grande. Besides the hotel, there’s not much else besides mangroves and palm trees. That gives it a super-exclusive feel, and you can see the larger island across the crystal clear blue waters.
Reefs not far from the hotel make it a good spot for snorkeling too. It’s definitely one of the best places for a day trip to the Rosario Islands and several bungalows with rooms make it a good option for where to spend the night in the Rosario Islands too.

Coralina Island
This Rosario Islands resort is located atop a rocky area of the island. That means there isn’t a lot of beach, but a boardwalk makes for a nice substitute and the calm waters also make for great kayaking and snorkeling. It’s a great place to get away from it all and just relax while enjoying the scenery of the crystal clear waters. It is both one of the best places for a day pass in the Rosario Islands or for spending a few nights.
Bonus Day Pass Only Option: Bendita Beach
Located south of the main cluster of islands, Bendita Beach is a great place for a day trip. While most of the islands are rocky and only have small, often man-made beaches, here there’s a nice and large beach on a peninsula jutting out into the sea. It isn’t an option for those looking to spend the night in the Rosario Islands since they do not have accommodations, but it is definitely one of the best day trips in the Rosario Islands.
