“Hotelito ubicacion fantastica”

The location right next to the beach is a plus. However, a weasel slipped into our room, creating a tragicomic moment. They should install mosquito nets on the windows.

“Fantastic”

It’s a spot to visit and stay awhile; unfortunately, it was my last day in Cartagena. The food was fresh and delicious. That evening I ordered a creamy seafood rice dish—what a presentation and flavor! The traditional breakfast was great, as was the coffee. It left me wanting more. I will be back.

“Perfeito para o descanso”

We slept on the sand, had leisure options—kayak right at the lodge—plus good food choices. We earned a room upgrade because the lodge was empty, making our experience unforgettable.

“Pourrait être mieux”

The reception was very good and we had the room with the large sea‑view balcony, the view was truly sublime and we had a hammock to enjoy it. The room is spacious. However, it was very hot. Thankfully there were 2 fans! The breakfast changes daily, it’s good but not exceptional. The hotel offers a dining service and we always ate very well there. We took two excursions via the hotel, the first to see the mangroves and raccoons. This outing lasted exactly 30 minutes, it really did not meet our expectations and we reported it to the hotel which gave us a discount (but that doesn’t stop it being a scam). We took a second excursion to visit the Rosaire Islands and it was better, but still not amazing (not the hotel’s fault but the stop at Cholon Island to drink and bathe in the same juice as a hundred travelers, that’s not really our vibe.). The small beach set up in front of the hotel is one of the prettiest we’ve seen in Baru. We chose this hotel for its location on the tranquil beach and to rest while still having access to the rest of Baru. It turned out we felt a bit cramped because it was hard to go further to Playa Blanca, the more “popular” beach, due to the water rising quite high. The double bed seemed small and was especially very uncomfortable. We woke up every morning with an awful back pain. Not to mention that the nights were short because we were woken 2/3 nights by either the noise from people in the rooms above us (a child crying/crying, people moving furniture), or the boat delivering water that made a huge noise. The soundproofing is very bad and this step we had chosen to relax was anything but restful unfortunately. It was one of the last stops of our trip and it really disappointed us, both the hotel and Baru in general. The bathroom is very old and would benefit from a refresh, as would the towels which sometimes have a questionable color. It was apparently necessary to ask for room cleaning, which we understood on day 2.
