Hoteles en Barú

Ventajas: Me pareció que el personal era agradable, a diferencia de algunas personas que han tenido problemas. Los jardines son preciosos, la playa y las piscinas SON ENORMES.

Desventajas: La comida estaba bien.

Ventajas: Los jardines y las instalaciones en general

Desventajas: Vestíbulo, son personal grosero.

Ventajas: Hermoso lugar. Playas bellísimas. Gente muy amable.

Desventajas: Contaminación del manglar aledaño. Poco preparado para gente con discapacidades motrices.

Ventajas: el servicio y la buena predisposición de todxs los trabajadores del hotel. El cuarto era muy amplio y cómodo. La comida del buffet siempre fue muy buena.

Desventajas: la comida de los distintos restaurantes de la noche no fue lo más destacable.

Ventajas: Los coissant

Desventajas: Falta total de Wi fí. Te dan una clave pero solo podes comunicarte en el lobby y tenes que re conectarte cada vez que te alejas 15 metros de la recepcion

Ventajas: La playa, la habitación al frente del mar.

Desventajas: Reservé por booking y en el mesón insistían en que necesitaba el voucher de ingreso. Nos tuvieron esperando una hr hasta que revisaron mi pasaporte y se dieron cta que no necesitaba ningún papel pq había hecho la reserva por este medio.

Ventajas: La zona de las piletas y la playa era linda.

Desventajas: La habitación no estaba correctamente aseada, de hecho cuando llegamos había ropa interior del huésped anterior. Las comidas no eran muy buenas y no había variedad. Se equivocaron en un pedido y para traerlo correctamente tardaron media hora o más. Muy caro para lo que es el hotel en si. No hay relación precio calidad.

Ventajas: The room was perfect, with a great view of the ocean and very spacious and clean. We were received with fresh fruit in the room. We booked a room with a balcony with ocean view so it was lovely to sit there and read a book and relax.

Desventajas: The food options are very limited. The area of one of the pools and the beach was very noisy.

Ventajas: Beautiful location

Desventajas: Being all inclusive, food was poor. Beer and wine choices, only 2. Wine was aweful, I dont like craft beer so Budweiser was the other choice, being in Colombia I expected Aguilla. Staff wasn't the friendliest either. Check in was very chaotic, ruined my day 1 pool time.

Ventajas: The best part was the beach gorgeous and relaxing.

Desventajas: Too many people and food is only okay liquor also only okay. Shower small and too dark you can’t see .

Ventajas: Great location and facilities

Desventajas: Staff is not as kind as they should, the service in general needs to improve. People in the entrance and front desk should help you, not worsen your stay.

Ventajas: The view of our room was nice.

Desventajas: The food was not good. The snorkeling trip we booked was not good at all.

Ventajas: Beautiful view of the water, and grounds. The pool was very nice. Aesthetically it was very beautiful. Staff were very friendly. The food was average. Some really good, some really not good, most of it was decent with a wide selection.

Desventajas: Too many to write in this amount of space. The worst was that I booked this resort with the expectation that I would be able to take excursions into the city. Once there, staff advised they only book tours for 10 or more people who have to be all together, not formed by smaller groups combined. This doesn’t make sense, who travels with 10 or more people? Some of the tours are for a romantic carriage dinner in the city... anyway I ended up getting ripped off overpaying for a private guide who took me to all the overly touristy spots, tried to get me to buy a bunch of junk sold by street vendors and left me at an absolute garbage restaurant that charged $20 cdn for a “salad” consisting of canned tuna on a bed of lettuce. Getting to the resort on the bumpy dirt road is a complete nightmare. The staff don’t speak English even though it’s advertised that they do. My room was far away from everything, 8-10 flights of stairs each time I wanted to go to the pool, bar, restaurant, reception, etc. The toilet in the room is only separated from the rest of the room by a glass window door. The balcony door was broken and held closed by a wooden stick, with no screen which resulted in multiple fresh mosquito bites every morning I woke up. The wifi was horrible, only worked about 10% of the time and only for about 2 mins max. TV only 13 channels all Spanish. The bar was hit or miss, poor quality alcohol used. The pool bottom was very slippery, I almost fell a few times and watched an elderly woman bail completely but was luckily fine. It was also closed completely my last day which was very disappointing. Restaurant too busy during the day, ended up sitting on a ledge to eat without cutlery with no one assisting me.

Ventajas: Las instalaciones son muy buenas al igual que la playa Personal amable

Desventajas: No hay mini bar en las habitaciones, te regalan una botella de agua pero tibia. WiFi pésimo Los tragos con alcohol no son buenos , los licores son de mala calidad y los sirven en vasos plásticos de 250 CC, es decir, con hielo son 100 CC de líquido.

Ventajas: Muy tranquilo lugar y bello. Las habitaciones cómodas. Muy gentil el personal, Engler y Samuel en el restaurante y Viena en recepcion. Muy rica la comida. La piscina muy linda y limpia.

Ventajas: la habitación , Delfin 12 , su interior impecable, su vista al mar insuperable, agradable con aire acondicionado y su decoración esplendida. me gusto su gente, siempre muy amables, y la playa con sus atardeceres maravillosos.

Ventajas: La playa

Desventajas: Te prohíben volar drones, el agua de piscina es muy salada

Ventajas: Un lugar perfecto para descansar! Sobretodo con la excelente atención y servicio del personal del hotel, en especial Gabriel de la recepción, y Jesus del restaurant!

Desventajas: Considerar la llegada de turistas que van por el dia de 10.00 a 15.00 hrs. Llevar repelente para mosquitos.

Ventajas: Lo más destacable es la atención del personal, el compromiso que muestran en la atención a los huéspedes. Siempre amables y bien dispuestos. Lo incorrecto: el valor del traslado extra, considerando el estado del vehículo que utilizaron; quizás haya sido una situación excepcional, pero es mi obligación destacarlo.

Desventajas: A la llegada nos habían dicho que no se podía realizar el traslado por mar porque la capitanía de puerto no autorizaba por el viento; se puede comprender. Supuestamente este servicio lo brinda el hotel; no obstante tampoco a la salida pudimos experimentar el traslado en lancha hasta Cartagena y el horario que ofrecen con la mayoría de los que van por el día es inconveniente y rígido, por lo cual contratamos un servicio sólo para nosotros y nos sorprendió que nos llevaran en una pick up del año 90 aproximadamente, sin vidrio delantero derecho y el aire prácticamente inexistente. Entiendo que en eso, solamente en eso nos estafaron, lo demás es de gloria.

Ventajas: Lugar excelente para descansar, tiene todo lo que uno necesita y el trato es verdaderamente amable de todo el personal, yo lo recomiendo con absoluta confianza, me encanto!!

Ventajas: La atención al cliente

Desventajas: El agua de las piscinas era salada

Ventajas: El chico asistente del bus y de la lancha, Sebastián, que llegaron por nosotros muy amable y agradable. En la lancha de ida nos empapamos, había mucho viento y según nos dijeron es ocasional pero es mejor ir preparados con nylon. La comida es buena y las instalaciones muy cómodas. El wifi es muy inestable y solo se capta en él área de las Junior Suites, sus piscinas y restaurante, pero la red se cae y puede que no haya todo el día. El Hotel es para relajarse completamente, es muy tranquilo para una estancia familiar o en pareja. Satisfechos con el precio porque incluye el transporte de ida y regreso hasta otro hotel en Cartagena, 4 tiempos de comida y algunos servicios extras en el hotel. Las camas son muy ricas.

Ventajas: Amazing location, sunsets were awesome, staff was friendly and on top of things, food was very good.

Desventajas: Everything was extremely expensive in the hotel, the hotel itself was very pricey but drinks and food on site were as expensive as in Europe.

Ventajas: The hotel staff were amazing from start to finish. We arrived early by private boat and they let us check in straight away. A lot of reviews focus on the day trippers spoiling there time, but we did not experience this at all. It’s like they were in another hotel as there are so many areas for guests only. The pool and beach areas are the best I’ve been to. Pool area is massive and the sea is very clean. Also the security they have on patrol make this an extremely safe place. The food is fresh and to a very high standard. Some might find selection a bit limited but we were fine with it. We only use their transfer service back to Cartagena but it was flawless and included unlike most other hotels. Loved our stay and could recommend it more highly!

Desventajas: Nothing it was prefect

Ventajas: The room was very clean and adequate in size.

Desventajas: Our room was too close to the noise of the staff preparing for the day.

Ventajas: Sustainable built solutions

Desventajas: Nothing!

Ventajas: Las piezas eran muy cómodas y limpias. El personal muy amable y atento

Ventajas: El chef se ajusto al menú vegetariano. La playa era privada.

Desventajas: La relación precio-calidad no es adecuada. Las habitaciones, si bien son limpias y bien dotadas, no corresponden al valor cancelado. Ademas, dicen que el transporte no es un negocio, y resulta que sale más barato ir por solo el día con almuerzo que tomar el transporte para hospedarse. La experiencia no es satisfactoria.

Ventajas: Localización privilegiada No hay vendedores Limpieza y mantenimiento diario de la playa

Desventajas: No me gusto que el personal de restaurante no guarde silencio. En cocina estaban chismeando y demoraron mucho en enviar las ordenes a mesa. El servicio es informal pero amable.

Ventajas: El hotel cuenta con un chef de alta cocina. Atención personalizada y el menú es a la carta. Excelente todos los platos. Cantidad y calidad

Desventajas: Cuesta encontrar la ubicación del muelle del hotel. Tener en cuenta eso para la llegada en barco. Comunicarse antes con el hotel para que ellos le sugieran el transporte

Ventajas: The personnel was very attentive, very hospitable....in general excellent service

Desventajas: At first, the room allocated was terrible, so after complaining, we were changed and the alternative room did meet expectations. Note that according to the owners of the resort, an executive room is a very poor one.

Ventajas: The location is absolutely stunning. Very peaceful and calm. The sunsets on the beach are incredible, especially when combined with a margarita. The staff are great as well, and Bongo the dog is very friendly.

Desventajas: Su playa no puedes nadar cómodamente tiene muchos trozos de coral no es muy agradable. Y son muy caros sus plato de comida y bebidas

Ventajas: Food was surprisingly good. One of the rooms was newer and GORGEOUS. The entire setting is beautiful. The swings and hammocks in the water were fun additions from last time we were there when we didn't spend the night.

Desventajas: One of the rooms was pretty dark and small, but did the trick.

Ventajas: The food was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly except one waiter. They do not have many rooms, so there were not many people. There were no mosquitoes. If you want to lay on the beach, sleep, eat, drink, and do nothing else, I would recommend this place.

Desventajas: The water was not as clear as other water in the area.

Desventajas: Que no tuviera agua caliente.El mar tenía bastantes algas.

Ventajas: So tranquil. So peaceful. Beautiful white sand and warm, clear water. My room was quite comfortable but simple. I had everything I needed. It was quite breezy when I was there so I only needed the air conditioning one night. The humidity was low and there were very few bugs. I was able to sit out on my "front porch" at night without being bothered by mosquitoes, no see-ums or other bugs. My towel was able to dry out naturally between showers. There isn't a coral reef right off shore to snorkel to but the water is good for swimming although quite shallow. I took a boat trip to the Rosario Islands to snorkel where the water was clearer and there was more coral. (still not a lot of good coral or marine life for an experienced snorkeler/diver) I had a great time at the resort. I have been through a very rough year and just needed to relax and recuperate. There are very few guests there. Even on the day when they brought a group in for the day, it was uncrowded and quiet. I like the way you order food in advance and it is ready when you ask for it. That way you aren't sitting at the table waiting an hour for each meal. The food was very good. My room rate included breakfast. After paying for lunches, dinners, drinks (yes you have to pay for all the bottled water) a massage and a snorkel trip for 5 days, my total was about $240 US dollars. Plus I was constantly raiding the minibar of chocolate and beer. (I am sure the maid thought I was a pig. ha ha. That's why I don't keep chocolate and Oreos in my house.) If you are a single traveler and just want to be left alone, this place is great. Don't come looking to be entertained or party. It was an easy hour and half from Cartagena. The transportation was very smooth.

Ventajas: Muy cómodo, limpio, el personal muy atento. La playa excelente, hay un poco de algas en una zona pero en otras se nada perfecto.

Ventajas: Es un lugar mágico ....la atención de Wil y Rosa fue lo mejor muy amables y atentos ... es un lugar para disfrutar de la naturaleza y descansar.. las habitaciones son muy cómodas y la comida deliciosa!!

Desventajas: si te quedas en el primer piso se escucha mucho el caminar de la cabaña de arriba

Ventajas: A very special place. Lovely staff who made us feel welcome and relaxed. Great cabaña bedrooms, a swimming pool, a jetty over the sea, hammocks; this place has it all.

Ventajas: Es muy tranquilo y lindo

Desventajas: This is a great place. Just be aware that there are only four rooms divided into two buildings, making it peaceful but also limiting the services the staff can provide... i.e. no late night room service or bar. There is also no beach. However, the staff provide complimentary boat service to nearby beaches. The hotel next door also allows guests to spend the day there as long as initially accompanied by the PS staff --- all of which are great folks and. Hey attentive.

Desventajas: Personal service and attentive to our desires. Whether Will taking us on a boat to a private beach and snorkeling or breakfast watching the sun come up over the tree tops, it was beautiful and tranquil.

Ventajas: El lugar es bello, con detalles que hacen ver la dedicación de los dueños y la gente que trabaja con ellos. Will, Rosa Maravillosa y el resto del personal muy atento y preocupados de hacer de la estancia un sueño.

Desventajas: Quedé con ganas de visitar el plancton luminiscente... pero la brisa y la distancia del hotel al lugar donde verlo no lo permitieron, pero es un detalle frente a los paseos de Will y las atenciones.

Ventajas: The staff is super friendly and always helping you out. The cabins are very cute and different places around the property to relax

Desventajas: Isla Cholon has become a party destiny for yachts so there’s really loud noise at the bay all the time

Ventajas: Que es un hotel para desconectarse y descansar, muy rustico y cómodo, el personal muy amable y atento.

Ventajas: El hotel es muy lindo y acogedor, tienen una excelente atención y actitud por parte de todo el personal del hotel. La ubicación es excelente. Will es una súper persona muy servicial al igual que las señoras que te sirven la comida. El señor Fernando es una persona muy amable y amigable.

Desventajas: Todo me pareció genial

Ventajas: Staff was friendly

Desventajas: No beach access , have to take a boat to go to the beach. Felt enclosed and surrounded by two large fences.

Ventajas: El sitio es espectacular, naturaleza pura con todas las comodidades. Muy limpio, lo cual es difícil de mantener en un sitio tan rural. La atención del personal es excelente, muy serviciales a la vez que discretos. Es casi como tener todo ese espacio para ti solo.

Desventajas: Falta agua caliente, aunque en esta zona no haga mucha falta, pero en días que no hace tanto calor se agradecería. Aunque esta en medio de la naturaleza y es complicado, intentar algo para alejar los zancudos, porque te dan la noche. Se oye mucho el ruido de los barcos que pasean, se podría compensar poniendo el hotel su propia música de ambiente.

Ventajas: Un lugar increíble. La atención de excelencia. Para descansar.

Ventajas: La ubicación excelente así como el personal dispuesto a ayudar en todo. El lugar es precioso

Desventajas: Hay que saber que es un sitio muy rústico como todos los de la zona, esto icluye señal de wifi inestable y electricidad limitada

Ventajas: El personal es atento y siempre tienen todo muy limpio. El señor Guillermo es muy buen anfitrión!

Desventajas: Solo se puede pagar en efectivo.

Ventajas: La vista

Desventajas: Muchas moscas

Ventajas: Frente a un buen lugar de la playa y el baño privado, muy amables los anfitriones

Desventajas: Perros y gatos alrededor

Ventajas: Probably our hostel wasn’t different than other many there. The beach is nice and good condition to play in the water.

Desventajas: We decided leave Playa Blanca after one night. The quality of hostels and restaurants and hygienic standards was very poor comparing to other places on Caribbean coast in Colombia.

Ventajas: Seguro. Las habitaciones con vista a la playa son muy buenas. Ducha y baños acordes. Sillas, reposeras y sombrillas a disposición sin costo. Excursiones a buen precio y personal a disposición continuamente durante el día.

Ventajas: El lugar es sencillo pero cómodo y limpio. Nos dejaron usar las instalaciones después del check out. El personal muy amable y la comida riquísima.

Desventajas: El baño es muy precario pero se adapta a la zona que es muy sencilla

Ventajas: Friendly staff. Nice beachfront. We had a room on the second floor with a balcony and hammock-perfect to just watch the world go ny

Desventajas: Barking dogs , especially at nite. We paid extra for breakfast, but no choices-just toast and eggs.

Ventajas: The location, right on the beach was nice...

Desventajas: To be fair, maybe I just didn't understand the kind of experience Barú is before coming... There are tons of accommodations like this one along the beach, and while I looked to see if I could find something that looked a little better, I couldn't find one. So maybe this is more of a review of Barú accommodations as a whole, rather than of Buena Onda... That being said, the pictures, using a fish eye lens, make the room look a lot bigger and nicer than it is. It's tiny. Only a bed and a night stand fit inside. The bed is small for two people (and I was there with a skinny 10 year old) and hard. The mosquito net over the bed smells like it gets washed once every few months. The walls aren't really walls, since air, light and noise comes through between each board. The windows don't have glass - they're basically holes in walls with very noisy metal roll-up blinds keeping out the sun. If the wind is blowing (which it usually is, since it's right on the ocean), the blinds swing wildly and make a huge racket. Dogs bark at night, people yell things out (there are a ton of people staying overnight on the beach in all these shacks - no idea why), cats wail - it's like it's all happening right next to you. We both had to wear ear plugs. I didn't sleep all night. I'm not going to get into the toilet situation, because there's no running water on the island, but honestly it wouldn't bother me if I at least had an acceptable comfortable room to sleep in. This is basically camping for which you actually pay money (no breakfast and no towels included either). I paid for two nights but left as soon as I could after the first night.

Ventajas: Location is in front of the beach, you can get a cheap day tours to Isla Rosario and Plankton , staff are very helpful and funny .

Desventajas: Can get windy and noisy and staff dont speak English

Ventajas: Guillermo que atiende un sol de persona, EXCELENTE!!! EL RESTAURANTE COMIDA DE PRIMERA!!! MUY RECOMENDABLE.

Desventajas: Podrian ponerle un poco mas de cariño, una onda muy rustica de diseño pero muy deteriorado todo. La ducha es un tacho con agua y in poquito de dispenser y para evaciar el inhodoro un tacho con agua y una jarra.

Ventajas: The staff at this place were far & away the shining point. They were super accommodating & attentive. Food was good, beer was reasonably priced, and the views were excellent. The location on the beach is fantastic- central, not too loud, & with a nice shoreline out front. The hosts helped us organize a day trip, and generally provided good feedback & information. I would absolutely stay here again.

Desventajas: The facilities are basic, but this is likely the situation all around. The shower was a slight trickle, so don’t expect to get thoroughly clean while you’re here. But! It’s a beautiful beach, and absolutely worth staying a couple nights.

Ventajas: El personal siempre muy atento y cordial. La playa espectacular, así como la piscina. Las instalaciones en general muy cómodas.

Desventajas: Es complicado para llegar, el número de teléfono que tienen de contacto con buzón de voz por lo que nos fue imposible coordinar nuestra llegada y tuvimos que llegar por nuestros propios medios. Los precios de las comidas caros, la comida sabrosa, pero muy caro. El baño de la habitación no funcionaba bien.

Ventajas: Las instalaciones, la atención y la comida lo mejor de este lugar

Ventajas: A little paradise with a beautiful Carribean beach.

Desventajas: The arrival: The hotel is located on an island, 200 yards away from the mainland. The parking on the mainland as well as the crossing is in the control of a little mafia making unconfortable and worrying to leave your car and do the crossing which we did at a very high cost which you cannot refuse. The prospect of the departure without knowing if you would be robbed a second time spoils somewhat the otherwise unforgettable stay. It is up to the hotel to arrange a safe parking place and a safe crossing.

Ventajas: Digamos que lo único rescatable del hotel es la playa, es impresionante, es semi privada y debe ser una de las más lindas que hemos visto. Lo otro, por decir algo, si bien la atención de la administración es pésima, la atención del staff si es buena.

Desventajas: No tiene agua caliente. Las piezas dejan mucho que desear, las camas duras, se nota poca limpieza, hongos en los baños, llena de arena aunque hacían el aseo. La atención de los administradores pésima, nunca te preguntan si estás bien, tampoco te solucionan los problemas. Durante el día llega gente en lancha que no son huéspedes del hotel y se quedan durante el día ahí, almuerzan ahí, ponen la música fuerte, se siente como una invasión a la privacidad. Un día se nos llovió la pieza, pedimos que nos cambiaran de habitación y en un inicio no querían (pese a que el hotel estaba casi vacío y nos podían haber cambiado a cualquier lugar), luego de insistir e insistir lo hicieron. Los precios del restorán y bar exorbitantes, casi impagable.

Ventajas: Staff was great as well as the food ....beach was best in Colombia

Desventajas: A little more cleaning up in a timely fashion around the pool area

Ventajas: el desayuno muy bueno . la ubicación esta muy bien la playa es exelente y tranquila para personas mayores que vamos en busca de descanso

Desventajas: no me gustó que me impongan un tipo de cambio de moneda que no es el que indica la paridad del dolar. eso no debería ser negociable ni al gusto del administrador. deben cambiar y hacer conocer a los futuros clientes.

Ventajas: La ubicación , y la salida a playa privada

Desventajas: Las almohadas , Falta de agua caliente en ducha

Ventajas: la casa en la playa soñada, el personal su amabilidad y calidez, las comidas, tragos y desayunos el lugar ideal para pasar unos dias de 100% playa la suite..... lo mejor de lo mejor

Desventajas: no hay agua caliente en las habitaciones, es un detalle que se suple con todo lo bueno que tiene el hotel y ademas con la temperatura constante no se siente tan mal

Ventajas: The staff is nice, not the manager though.

Desventajas: This place was horrible. The adds on booking.com and Google are not true and a couple of peaceful days there became a complete nightmare. We booked this place initially because it was advertised as having a "private beach" at the hotel and so we thought it would be the perfect place to enjoy a nice and relaxing weekend. Unfortunately, there is nothing private about the beach, or the hotel for that matter. Around 9:00 - 10:00am, excursion boats from EVERYWHERE around the hotel appeared and stopped at the beach. We had about 20 excursion boats come to the "private" beach with VERY LOUD music, drunk tourists, and loads of kids screaming. The worst part of it all was that we (PAYING CUSTOMERS) couldn't even enjoy the facilities we paid for, like the swimming pool. Children on these tours (who, again, were NOT paying for the hotel and who were NOT guests) went straight to the swimming pool. It was so full and such a mess that we couldn't even read a book nearby, or swim. A REAL SHAME TO TREAT PEOPLE WHO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO STAY THERE. Even worse, one boat full of drunk tourists stopped at the beach with extremely loud music, and bothering us. Given that this was meant to be a "private beach", we went and complained to the staff, only to have these tourists threatening us (actual death threats) and the men showing us their "intimate parts". Just horrible. At the end of the day, there is NO POINT in staying there. You pay the full price for nothing. You might as well stay somewhere else and go there during the day with one of those excursions boats, since the hotel allows anyone to be there and do whatever they want at the hotel the whole day. ADVICE TO THE MANAGEMENT - If people PAY (and this is an expensive hotel) to stay at your property, then the least you can do is honor what you promised (private beach), and not let EVERYONE who stops by the beach to use your facilities. This is not fair for those who pay.

Ventajas: The beach sun sand and pool area are beautiful

Desventajas: Anything created or managed by man. The whole week was a wreck. The hotel makes no arrangements for travel to the location. You are left to try and haggle a cab or boat. Fees for same vary wildly from 50 US to 300 US. On location there is only one choice for food. The on-site food was borderline inedible. I have traveled the whole world and extensively in Mexico. The food at Agua Azul was among the worst. Poor quality poor preparation and prices exceed those in NYC! We were so disgusted by the food quality that we basically ate only bread and fries. The crowing achievement was bed bugs. After being bitten we abandoned the remaining term of our prepaid visit and split. We suffered for almost a week with terrible sores and itching. It was horrible. They tried at every turn to overcharge us. There were no redeeming factors. Avoid Agua Azul at all costs.

Ventajas: El lugar es un paraiso, la atención súper buena. Volvería a ir.

Desventajas: Cómo crítica podría decir que no se podía hacer más nada después de las 10 y si salíamos a la ciudad había q volver antes de esa hora. Ya que para llegar a la isla se necesita una lancha. Estaría bueno que haya la opción de poder volver cuando uno quiera

Ventajas: Excelente!!! El personal muy amable, la comida rica! Todos dispuestos a que tuvieramos unas vacaciones inolvidables!!

Ventajas: Ubucacion

Desventajas: Nada

Ventajas: La ubicación alejada del lío de toda la gente

Ventajas: Location - 30 minutes by foot from the crowded beach.

Desventajas: Only 5 liters water per person for bath, staff do not speak English

Ventajas: La playa, los tragos y jugos de José, el almuerzo de Leonor y Diana y el cariño y la dedicación para con nosotros de ellos 3.

Desventajas: Es un lugar muy agradable, muy rústico, alejado del ruido, realmente se descansa. La playa la tienes a tus pies. Alejado de la televisión y el internet, el que solo lo teníamos en la noche, genial para los que quieren alejar a sus hijos de las redes sociales.

Desventajas: This property does not exist. It burnt down in november 2019.

Ventajas: The property is clean and has helpful staff. They also have good food though it's a bit expensive. But as the property is on the beach prices are a bit high.

Desventajas: The property is at the very end of the beach and you have to walk a long way. Not very convenient if your backpack is heavy. The hotel takes card as advertised on booking.com but they charged us 10% more for paying on card. That's not very nice. The hotel is a bit expensive compared to others and is not good value for money.

Ventajas: We’ve spent wonderful couple of days here in the first week of January. So to begin with the staff and especially our host Jairo, who speaks English fluently and have been there for making us feel comfortable and welcome all the time. The owner Hector was also very nice to us during our stay. Another great thing was the location - it is one of the last hotels on the beach area - a little far from the crowd and the noise in the epicenter of Playa Blanca. Before we arrived, we have read that there was a fire accident and we were a little worried, but it turned out that this was a good thing for us. The wooden structure has been rebuilt all over again and everything was brand new - from the bed & the mattress (which were great) and also the nice sun beds which were made of metal. I believe these are the nicest sun beds you will see on Playa Blanca :) We ate at the restaurant of the hotel almost every day and we loved the fish which was always fresh (“catch of the day”). Prices are completely the same as in other places around. I’ve read some reviews here that the music was loud - none of this is true for us. By not later than 9:30 pm everything is off and the only thing that you hear is the sound of waves! We had a lovely time and would recommend Hector’s place to everyone who plans to visit Playa Blanca!

Ventajas: Lovely staff. Great location, quite spartan but literaly on the beach. Very comfortable beds.

Ventajas: El personal que nos atendió fue realmente muy amable. le ponen mucha onda al lugar. La ubicación es muy buena, esta ubicada casi al final de la playa

Desventajas: hay mucho por mejorar en las instalaciones, sin dudas su proyecto va a continuar creciendo! le deseamos lo mejor

Ventajas: Las instalaciones del hotel y el buen trato del personal y de Héctor.

Desventajas: Cuando uno estaba disfrutando del mar, frente al ecohotel, ingresaban lanchas trayendo turistas, motos de agua ofreciendo paseos... En fin.. No se podía estar tranquilo y encima se sentía contaminado por el combustible de los motores.

Ventajas: Vista excelente al mar desde las habitaciones. Ubicada en una zona de playa genial. El hotel tiene sombrillas y camastros disponibles para su uso.

Desventajas: Para llegar al sitio desde la entrada es un poquito lejos. Tiene poca variedad de comidas. Como en todos los hospedajes de la zona las habitaciones son sencillas, rusticas, con luz e internet limitados.

Ventajas: Instalaciones comodas

Ventajas: El excelente servicio que ofrece el sr eduardo con su energía maravillosa de buen ser humano, junto a sus colaboradores hacen de la estadía momentos únicos e invaluables . Doy gracias a Dios por permitirme conocer gente tan linda como este argentino que aportan experiencias a nuestro diario vivir.. lo llevamos en nuestro corazón. Atentamente Juan y Milena .

Desventajas: Sin duda alguna dentro de lo precario de la isla el hostal y su servicio es excelente

Ventajas: Si si... rústico pero lindo! La atención hermosa

Ventajas: El Parche de Alex es sin dudas el mejor hostel de Playa Tranquila: no tiene habitaciones cerradas y calurosas, tiene buenos servicios (la cocina es LO MAS!) y el precio es más que razonable. Pero por sobretodo, resalto la calidez de Eduardo, el dueño. Desde el primer día hasta el último nos hizo sentir como en nuestra casa, y fue súper amable y honesto con nosotros. Si buscan sacarle provecho a Baru, pasen por el Parche de Alex!

Ventajas: Good owner which care about customers, nice location (not so much stones around in water!)

Desventajas: Bad wi-fi, dirty rooms, old rooms, bad hygiene, expensive beer

Ventajas: Great location, Edwardo was a wonderful host.

Ventajas: The location was exceptional! Eduardo was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a rum on my last night and he thanked me for staying and joining him in his home. A true open air experience right on the beach with the comforting sounds of the waves. A truly memorable experience!

Ventajas: La atención fue excelente. Eduardo supo hacernos sentir como en casa. Y el lugar es precioso, una experiencia única y nueva con las limitaciones de la isla

Ventajas: Eduardo was very inviting, happy and accommodating. The tall guy that works there (John, i think his name was). He work some loooong hours. I applaud that guy. Staying at playa blanca is experiencing the basic necessities for living. Lower your expectations otherwise you won't like it. This part of the beach was perfect. There were barley any rocks. In the morning when there are no people and the wind is low. It is perfectly calm and crystal clear water. It was beautiful!!! We enjoyed our time. Thanks for having us Eduardo!

Desventajas: If you get the back rooms the generator can be a little loud but eventually it puts you to sleep. The price is a little high compared to what you can pay for others. Overall a great time and experience

Ventajas: La buena predisposición del personal

Ventajas: Super friendly host from Argentina! The hostel is at the end of the beach, so you have a bit more peace! It’s very basic but all you need. Thanks Eduardo! Nos vemos!

Ventajas: Edu fue el mejor anfitrión de todos! Te sentís como en tu casa, siempre atento de buen humor y energía positiva! Encontrarte con gente como él es lo que convierte un lugar Inolvidable. Totalmente recomendable .

Desventajas: No tener más días para quedarnos en el parche de Alex

Ventajas: El lugar es perfecto. La habitación con balcón no tiene precio. Acostarse y despertar con el mar turquesa de frente es hermoso. Eduardo es un persona encantadora, te brinda toda la información que necesites. Y si pueden sentarse hablar con él no se olviden de preguntarle sobre su historia. Seguro que les deja una enseñanza, cómo nos pasó a nosotros. Un 10!

Ventajas: La atención de Juan Pablo excelente volvería de nuevo alla

Ventajas: El lugar divino y nos atendieron muy bien.

Desventajas: Todo nos gustó.

Ventajas: ubicacion

Ventajas: Ubicación y servicios Personal muy amable y buena onda !!

Ventajas: El servicio y la ubicación

Desventajas: Nuestra habitación estaba rodeada de construcción

Ventajas: For the money this was an exceptional place. Located in the center of the beach and with private bathrooms and showers. Not to many better places available and none for the price.

Desventajas: Bit tough with the language barrier but no fault of the hotel.

Ventajas: Location on the beach

Desventajas: Very basic rooms, bad food. We saw a rat at night in the room

Ventajas: Staff here were so friendly. Really loved our stay here. Beautiful place.

Ventajas: Reasonably clean rooms

Desventajas: Fan didn’t really work and no windows in our room so it was really hot

Ventajas: The staff was so friendly and helpful, even with a language barrier...it made it that much more fun! For the price the room was great and what I expected - be prepared for the heat! Their is no AC on this beach anywhere. If you’re looking for luxury accommodations, it does not exist on this beach... but the beach cabanas and hut hostels make it a fun adventure!

Desventajas: When you arrive via shuttle in the main lot they drop you off, face the ocean and go RIGHT. If you are using Google Maps, it will tell you to go left which is not true. Not a hostel problem, just a phone problem! Hostels to the right while facing ocean!

Ventajas: Great location. Staff was helpful.

Desventajas: The room was hot and the fan didn’t reach very far. There were a lot of flies on the beach.

Ventajas: The free umbrellas and chairs at the beach

Desventajas: The hotel is right where hoards of daybeach goers disembark. The water is so busy they have a small enclosed area to swim. The room has just enough space for a bed. We couldnt even extend the pullout bed completly. No clothes line to hang your clothes ( you will have plenty of wet stuff) and no place to put them but the bed or the dirty floor. The badroom has almost no water. You basically get a wooden box with a bed. We travelled all over southeast asia and this is by by far the worst value for money hotel we ever stayed. We left one day earlier and happily lost the last night.

Ventajas: La tranquilidad del lugar, la atención del personal y las playas cercanas muy privadas! No hay vendedores!

Ventajas: El personal fue absolutamente encantador! realmente me sentí muy cómoda en mis 10 días de estancia.

Ventajas: Es un lugar perfecto para descansar

Ventajas: Lo que más me gusto fue la comida, riquísima y barata por estar aislados y ser la única opción. Las instalaciones perfectas y con mucho espacio para ocio. El personal excelente!!

Desventajas: El traslado desde Cartagena al lugar, muy caro por el servicio que te dan. Es difícil llegar por tus propios medios.

Ventajas: Muy buena onda el ambiente y el lugar de la pileta!! Los chicos de la entrada muy copados

Ventajas: The resort is nice and the staff is friendly.

Desventajas: Be careful! The transportation cost can be more than the room! It is a surprise cost once the room is booked. They charge 150,000 cop pp for a luxury speedboat transport and if there are not enough people they transport by land in a car and appear to pocket the difference.

Ventajas: The staff was amazing! They were very helpful and even organized trips for us. The location is very remote and there are many hammocks and sun beds. It was quite empty so we had lots of space for ourselves. You can hire a boat and paddle around which we did almost every day and it’s stunning really

Desventajas: Bathrooms and rooms could be cleaned a bit more. Almost no other travelers, wouldn’t recommend it for solo travelers (one night we were the only guests) The WiFi reception was quite bad at the beach but good in the dorm. The beach is not the beast but you got t for yourself

Ventajas: - Good food, fair prices, but breakfast is a bit dull (also there are special eating hours, so lunch at 1pm and dinner at 7pm) - Best atmosphere, really relaxing, peaceful and beautiful surroundings - Ventilations in the rooms - Very few bugs - Good beds, and some beds have mosquito nets - Beers and cocktails were good and affordable - you can book tours for snorkeling or bioluminescent plankton but don’t set your expectations too high - Cute dogs - beautiful sunsets!

Desventajas: - Transportation was kind of sketchy - Hardly given any information (waiting for hours until getting information about rooms/food/rules) - Few and low quality sun beds - Stones, seaweed and knee high water was kind of annoying, but otherwise fine water - Showers are unpractical, and cold water only - Toilets can’t really flush - No privacy curtains, lockers or bed lights

Ventajas: La comida

Desventajas: No saber que tenía que llegar en lancha

Ventajas: La comida y la playa sin vendedores ambulantes

Ventajas: Tranquil place with not a lot going on and only accessible by boat which forces you to disconnect and relax. We also really enjoyed the hammocks and both the Rosario Islands and Plankton tours.

Desventajas: We reserved a private room on one of the lodges but on arrival were told we would have to stay for one night in a 8 person dorm which was really unclean and there was no reason given or apology. On the second day we moved to the private room but realized it had no locks.

Ventajas: Friendly staff and view

Desventajas: Nothing

Ventajas: Beautiful location a little away from the main section of playa Blanca. Amazing to wake up in paradise before a lot of people arrived. The pinned location is way off on google maps! Just keep asking people which direction it is very hidden with not much signage Look for the turtle conservation sign :)

Ventajas: The cosy and simple vibe, the small rooms made with wood like real shed. Bathroom enough clean and in common.

Desventajas: We were looking for a room with sea view. Did not matter anything else. From the site this place had several accommodations with “sea view”, So we booked the room for 2 (one large bed). The thing is that this room was not in front of the sea, but behind another room (the one with 2 large beds) and the sea was barely visible from the balcony. We had to pay an extra to have the other room (That luckily was available).

Ventajas: La amabilidad de Jaime "el personaje", siempre muy atento con todo. Volveria sin dudarlo, me hizo sentir como en casa! Fue una experiencia fantástica, super recomendable! Saludos a Matías (el guacamayo).

Ventajas: It was on the beach so you could hear the waves, easy access to long chairs and hammocks.

Desventajas: Loud generator overnight to have power (we were happy to have light and charge camera/phone) but also created white noise so one could still fall asleep. No running water meant having waves of smells coming from the bathroom when someone would flush. Not a lot of selection for food/restaurants, especially once day-trippers are one for the day, hard to find somewhere to have a bite. Also quite expensive and price hike for tourists (we bargained our lunch price down because it wasn’t advertised on a menu with prices). If we were to come back we’ed likely only do day trip. We stayed for the sunsets and both days got cloudy in the pm, so wasn’t worth it after all.

Ventajas: la ubicacion y la atencion del personal

Desventajas: la comodidad del baño lejos de la habitacion

Ventajas: The beach is incredible. Jaime who runs the place was super helpful and nice. The rooms are great right on the beach such a beautiful place.

Desventajas: The hawkers can be a bit much but this is the quieter part of playa blanca.

Ventajas: La comodidad de la habitación e instalaciones como así también la calidez del dueño del hostel para recibirnos y alojarnos. El baño es cómodo ya que tiene una ducha con 10lts de agua por persona y tiene afuera un lavatorio para usae aparte. Tomamos las excursiones de Islas del Rosario y Plancton ahí mismo por un buen precio. 100% recomendado

Ventajas: Amazing location, literally feet away from paradise. Lovely beach hut rooms.

Ventajas: We loved staying here. Its situated on the more quit part op playa blanca. If you chose to stay here, you dont have the crowds and hassle. The owners are very Nice.

Desventajas: Dont expect any luxury. The rooms are open and the sea wind comes in. Showers and toilet is with buckets but clean. We knew before so we had No problem with that at all.

Ventajas: la amabilidad del personaje (dueño del hostal)..te sentís como si fuera un pariente suyo como huésped..atiende todos los detalles

Ventajas: Hostal tranquilo, Jaime y su hija amables.

Ventajas: El baño se ensucia rapido

Desventajas: Las instalaciones son precarias, pero es como cualquier Hostel de baru. Le falta iluminación a la noche al área común. Los cuartos muy bien y el personal muy atento.

Ventajas: The only thing I like about this place is the location the beach is amazing

Desventajas: The shower was dirty with hair all over, only one bucket of water to shower, lights only from 6:30 to 7:00 am no day light, and the breakfast and food is terrible I would not recommend eating there, the fan in the bathroom barely work.

Ventajas: It's towards the far end of the beach so it's calmer than the other side of Baru. The staff are exceptional - super friendly and welcoming. This is by far the nicest of all the hostels along the beach! Perfect place to relax and switch off!

Ventajas: Close to beach

Desventajas: Don't stay here: Bedbugs! No te quedes aqui! Chinches en habitaciónes! Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our stay at Wizard Hostel. The hostel is very basic, which was fine for us but the facilities are also old and not well maintained. The toilets have no flushes (use buckets) and the showers have only water from little water canister, which are filled at around 6.30pm (I guess that's typical for Playa Blanca, but we just want to mention it). However the worst was, that there were bed bugs - A LOT OF THEM! The first night we were not sure that our bites came from bed bugs, but after the second night we moved to another room, which eventually was even worse. Bed bugs were everywhere: on the ground, matraze, pillow, mosquito net!!! So me and my friend we decided to sleep outside on the beach, which was fine but not what we paid for of cause. In the morning, I approached the owner/worker and she refused that there are any bed bugs. I also asked her to pay us back the last night but she wouldn't agree and even worse she did not even apologise! Pity, that we will remember playa Blanca with that experience.

Ventajas: was here last year and i came back as i liked it so much. One thing to mention: credit card payments have an uplift of 10% and keep in mind it has a city tax or so which i believe is also mentioned when booking it.

Ventajas: Muy buena atención, buena onda, siempre atentos. Las instalaciones son comodas, las hamacas sin dudas son lo mejor del mundo!

Ventajas: awesome location at the beach. A bit off the super busy part of playa blanca Very nice and attentive staff. There is a fan in the room which makes it more bareable. Waking up and being right at the beach is an outstanding experience though.

Desventajas: room / bed is super small for 2 People. I was counting the minutes until sunrise to get out- but then it was totally worth it, as you are at the beach on your own until approx 11am on a saturday

Ventajas: + most of the staff is doing an amazing job + great drinks + good music + cabanas themselves are pretty + staff cleaning regularly the site

Desventajas: - dogs on the property peeing on the sand and sleeping on hammocks used by guests during the day - very unprofessional check-in: was not asked for the passport (met another guest coughing and visiting from Spain who should probably be in caranteen now and not staying in such a crowded place!), was not informed properly about the breakfast being included, not given WiFi password - had to ask for it - unsure who is a guest and who a staff member - uncomfy hammocks

Ventajas: Primero, no se imaginen un hostal con muchas equipaciones debido a que está en una isla sin electricidad y sin agua potable, después de saber esto este hostal es muy bueno, camas comodas, lindo y mejor ambiente, tienen un bar restoran en la playa que por lejos son los mejores precios que hay, también desde el mismo hostal te ofrecen diferentes tours a un muy buen precio, la luz llega a partir de las 6 de la tarde como en todos los hostales de la isla, cada persona tiene una ducha diaria con agua limitada pero que es mas que suficiente, es un excelente lugar para quedarse si desean sol, playa y tragos!

Desventajas: El baño sin indicaciones de como hay que ocuparlo, habían personas que no rellenaban el estanque para tirar la cadena y faltaban algunas tapas también, y ojo al relleno del agua para la cara y dientes!

Ventajas: La atencion de loa chicos q trabajan es muy buena!

Desventajas: Es caro segun precio - calidad.! Y nos cobraron un imp que no estaba previsto.

Ventajas: Increíble lugar, la atención brindada es excelente! La mejor ubicación de Baru

Ventajas: The staff can't help you enough and they are all very friendly. We stayed in a private room, shared bathroom which was comfortable. One or two nights max is enough but would recommend.

Ventajas: It was the most colourful place on the beach! A little further down from where the buses drop you off so it’s a bit quieter, and after about 4pm the crowds really clear off so you can watch the sunset. We had a perfect two days on the beach with everything we needed right there. It’s a little rustic, but I think that’s the case with the other properties too. Good breakfast included with the private rooms. Try the piña colada!!

Desventajas: The room was a bit smelly... not sure why but think it was the paint.
