This is such a wonderful hotel with amazing welcoming and helpful staff and wonderful food. It is such a stunning part of the world and Sabai absolutely showcases the splendors of the beach and jungle. Everything we needed we got, including a trip to the National Aviary which was magnificent. Everyone at Sabai was fantastic, helpful, bright and warm, and the property was just beautiful. The food was especially excellent.

Location directly on the beach and all rooms with amazing sea view. The sea had perfect azure color. Breakfast was good and served on time.
You can get to the accomodation only by boat from the parking place - from the parking place you have to walk approx. 5 mins to the beach where boat pick you up to the accomodation. The way to accomodation was free of charge and the way back to the parking place was charged (around 2,50 eur per person). The rooms were with privat sitting area ( terrace).
Prices in the restaurant and bar were good but everything took them a long time.

Wow this location is AMAZING. Truly it was a private beach all to ourselves… only one other couple there on our first night. The property only has 4 rooms total so you’re never going to have a bunch of people there. The staff were SO accommodating and patient with our lack of ability to speak Spanish. We only speak English, staff only spoke English but they always used translation making it very easy to communicate! I saw other reviews complaining about the food being overpriced and no hot water for the shower which seems silly to me after now experiencing how remote this place is! It was my toddlers first travel experience, and I was SO happy with the comfort Carey House offered. Is it a luxury hotel, no. But does it have everything you need on a remote beach location with PERFECT Carribean swimming and the best staff ever? Yes. We will be coming back!

I love how close the place is to nature, beach is amazing , the rustic cabanas are beautiful .The only thing I didn’t like it were the locals trying to sell their products in a way that can be annoying.

The only way to get from the arrival area to your hotel is to walk along the beach with your luggage or by boat. When the seas are ruff and there are no boats you must carry your luggage through the sand and water. Depending where your hotel is, that could be a mile. There is one tiny bodega on the beach to buy soda and beer and not much else. It’s best for a short stay.

Horrible place, instead of the sea breeze you'll enjoy exhaust from the dozens of motorboats and scooters cruising everywhere without any rules. They make a horrible noise all over the day, combined with loud music from each bar it caused a headache. Food and drinks are extremely expensive, we got poisoned by some food there being sick for 3 days.
Trash is everywhere behind the beach line.

Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful.
Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful. Between those hours, however, there are an overwhelming number of visitors and vendors. The water is full of so many people offering rides on jetskis, banana boats, tour boats, etc, that rather than smell the ocean air you smell gas. If you want peace and quiet you need to trek about 2 kms to the peaceful section of Playa Blanca.

Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Family of 3 with a 10 year old, stayed 6 days, 2 different hotels.
Beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise colored waters and fresh sea food ( learn your prices and always check before accepting anything).
The family time spent there is unforgettable. The people are kind and respectful. The island is safe and after 4pm starts to calm down and at 7-8 pm it's quiet and peaceful.
Most people spent a day and leave, but i recommend you stay and do the activities. We did snorkeling and raccon as well as the Plancton (DO NOT MISS IT! ).

Nena beach resort AC, pool and beach beds.
The hotel is beautiful. The food offer is excellent and most of the staff is quite friendly. They offer lots of goodies like free SPF 70 sunblock in the beach and you feel like you can just relax and count on the staff to treat you and cater for all your needs. During dinner, the chef Hugo accommodated for my needs and brought me a nice piece of salmon.
All the staff from the transportation services and activities was super nice and charismatic.
This hotel is by far one of the best on the seafront in Barú. We walked the whole beach, saw all the accommodation and tried different bars and restaurants. We always kept going back to Playa Surf for the great drinks, food and service.
The rooms are super comfortable and clean and the staff are helpful and friendly which adds the cherry to the top of an already good cake.
Contact from the hostel was great, they arranged the transport from my hotel in Getsemani to the hostel for 100,000. I had a driver collect me, drive me to Baru, where I was met by someone who helped carry my luggage to a boat that took me to the hostel - 10/10 for this part. I also had the same for my return.
The location is also great just a few steps from the ocean.
The location is a hidden gem in Baru Isle, relaxing, quiet & amazing view of the sea. The reception, transportation, helpers with the luggage, food & servers, cleaning & boat excursions were amazing, courteous, friendly & always ready to serve you. The food is fresh & delicious. I will return to this lovely place again & I will recommended to other tourist.
All was fine , the beach is beautiful the only compliant about that was that the beach had a lot of seaweeds , the hotel is very beautiful it’s like a paradise white beaches blue seas , food quality and drinks are excellent despite its prices ( a little high ) but they worth it in summary 100 % recommended no regrets!
We loved staying at Olga's hotel! They were always super attentive to us so that we had the best stay. It is a truly magical place to rest and recharge your batteries. The place is amazing and the food is delicious. We can only recommend this place and hope to come back soon.
Top location, out of the most common and crowded fancy places in Baru. Quiet and relaxing. Swimming pool was really nice. Restaurant delicious. Day-trips to Rosario islands well organized from Casa Cordoba, really worthy. A place to recharge yourself.
Relaxing, beautiful location. Good food. Very accommodating staff. The entire staff took great care in being mindful of food allergies, helped us get cash when we ran out, and arranged both a tour of Rosario Islands and our travel back to Cartegena.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Raw Koko Hotel, located in front of the Playa Blanca in Barú, offers an amazing ocean view. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable.
Las Islas was an excellent escape for the hustle and bustle of Cartegena historic town. The tree top bungalows were a unique experience with beautiful views! For a luxury hotel the prices were reasonable as well.
Excellent location at the end of Playa Blanca, away from the crowds, the only downside is there's no beach in front of the hotel however it's beautiful right on the rocks with the waves crashing below you!
We loved the location, morning swims, food and coffee. Nena is a perfect place to relax for couple days during your time in Colombia and definitely top choice for Playa Blanca.
Amazing location just in front of a wonderful beach. Not too many people compared to the rest of Baru. The people are very kind and ready to help you at all times.
