Introducing Isla Carenero
A few hundred meters from Isla Colón is the oft-forgotten island of Isla Carenero. The island takes its name from ‘careening, ’ which in nautical talk means to lean a ship on one side for cleaning or repairing. It was on Careening Cay in October 1502 that ships under the command of Christopher Columbus were careened and cleaned while the admiral recovered from a bellyache.

Today, the wave of development that transformed Isla Colón is also making headway on Isla Carenero. Although the majority of the accommodations on Isla Carenero are borderline resorts, staying on this lovely island is a great alternative to Isla Colón, especially if you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet.
