Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Get a bike and enjoy the rambla

Mar 2019 • Family

This beach has a nice Rambla or promenade bordering it, great for walking or biking on a nice day. In march look out for the trees with red flowers (ceibos). You can also take a picture in the sign that says COLONIA in big letters on the way from the old city to the Real the San Carlos.

Nice views

Dec 2018 • Couples

The views from Real de San Carlos beach are amazing, especially after dark when all the boulevard lights between Real and Colonia are lighted. Tortas fritas are available beginning around 4:00pm year-round, and earlier during the summer.

Nice Beach

Nov 2016 • Business

Nice beach. The sand is actually really nice for being located along a river delta, although by this point the water is fairly salty. Don't expect clear ocean water but generally nice for hanging out.

Good for taking a stroll walking by.

Aug 2016 • Couples

The most extensive beach to walk or jogging in Colonia. Takes about 6 km for jogging. A nice place to visit

Nice place to relax

Apr 2016 • Couples

This beach is located about four kilometers away from the centre of Colonia, near the plaza de toros (bullring). It's a good place to sit down and relax by the river. There are public toilets nearby.
