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: 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.

Desventajas: Our deck had dog poop on it. Staff cleaned it up as soon as we pointed it out.

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: 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

Desventajas: Los precios y el hotel cobro 2 reservas en lugar de una robandonos la plata sin justificacion

Ventajas: La ubicación alejada del lío de toda la gente

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: 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: 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: Location on the beach and staff. The staff was awesome and made the stay better. Beach is beautiful and the bar is open late with great music. The bartender was awesome and very helpful when needed. The location is perfect and away from the crowds. It’s busy but 90% less busy than the front part of the beach. The walk is worth the privacy you get.

Desventajas: It’s 20 minutes from the cab drop off to the property. The walk is through the water or sand. It’s a beautiful walk but important that guest know that it’s almost impossible with bags that you can’t carry on your back or lift the entire time. This for me was only tolerable for a short trip. It was very hot and sand covered the floors and beds. It was like sleeping on sand paper. There was a shower but no pressure and impossible to shower more than one person. At night the room smelt of an outhouse and we had to keep the door open, as unsafe as it felt, to tolerate the heat and smell.

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: no se pudo viajar por cierre

Desventajas: tenía una reserva el 24 de marzo para hostel media luna en baru pero debido a que cerraron los aeropuertos y las playas no se.pudo vacacionar. mi pregunta es:cuando habrán las playas y se pueda viajar llamo nuevamente para reservar?

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: 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: La ambientación y buena onda del lugar. Las hamacas y todas las comodidades en la playa que tiene el hostel.

Desventajas: Por momentos, el personal no era tan amable.

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.

Ventajas: The host, Jose was very accomodating, friendly and trustful. He was able to guide us, made sure we were picked and dropped off at the correct location and make sure that we were not getting ripped off by taxi drivers.

Desventajas: The first night there was faulty electricity and we were left in the dark, fortunately the host was able to help and fixed the issue on the first night. The same issue occurred the following day and we had no access to electricity until the evening. There was also limited fresh water for showering and washing hands.

Ventajas: It’s right on the beach like all the others. The toilet although very basic was clean. We got the impression that all the options along the beach where essentially huts with beds, so we chose one of the cheapest. It’s super basic, but if you want somewhere to sleep on the beach it is that. Is it comfortable? Not sure I would go quite that far...but again I’m not sure many of the other options were either.

Desventajas: The generator was loud.

Ventajas: If you decide to go to to playa blanca (which i dont recommend tbh) this is a good place. Very basic but the owner is nice, the shower is cold but ok and there are facilities to enjoy the beach. Nice view as well. But no running water, you have to flush the toilet with a bucket but it is not that bad. Fan in the room.

Desventajas: The fan stopped in the night (like 4) and it was super hot after that. One of the beds wasnt very clean. Also I would not recommend going to playa blanca in the first place since it was just too busy, awful music, vendors everywhere, absolutely ruined piece of nature.

Ventajas: La cabaña queda frente a la playa es un sitio muy tranquilo para descansar y la comida deliciosa

Desventajas: El anfitrión José es una excelente persona, nos dio varios consejos para que la estadía fuera lo mejor posible

Ventajas: Host name was Jose. Great dude, down to earth speaks decent English. Beautiful beach front room.

Ventajas: El lugar es muy tranquilo, en una parte de la playa donde no hay demasiadas personas, y la comida está rica. Las instalaciones son básicas, pero es lo normal considerada la zona. Perfecto para un par de días de relax.

Desventajas: Faltaba el WiFi, que otros lugares en la playa ofrecen. Personalmente no me importó mucho, pero mejor saberlo de antemano.

Ventajas: La ubicación, la vista de la habitación principal

Desventajas: Falta de aseo, la habitación con camarote falta ventilación. Faltó proactividad del administrador. Las condiciones para bañarse.

Ventajas: El lugar es muy lindo, esta ubicado frente al mar. Es comodo. La pasamos dentro de todo bien. Las instalaciones son rudimentarias. Solo te podes bañar una vez al dia y solo con 6 litros de agua. Pero no es diferente del resto de los hostales. Todo tienen el mismo sistema.

Desventajas: No nos querian dar papel higienico para ir al baño. La comunicacion con el personal era dificil. A veces el trato era poco amable.

Ventajas: Amabilidad

Desventajas: Límites de electricidad , aseo

Ventajas: La atención, alimentación y ubicación.

Ventajas: Great breakfast, love the staff always very helpful, it's beautiful insane how closed is to the beach.

Ventajas: Staff is super kind and very helpful. The view from the balcony is amazing.

Desventajas: There is no running water in this hostel, which is however true for most of the places in the island. Private room had no window. Breakfast was small.

Ventajas: Todo. El dormir con el ruido del mar despertarse con tan hermoso paisaje. El personal es de lo mejor, te ayudan en todo y t hacen sentir muy bien. Los baños se limpian todos los dias Volveria sin dudar

Ventajas: Que esté cerca del mar y el balcón para ver el atardecer. La atención excelente.

Ventajas: Lo mejor es la terraza, invita a ver el atardecer, cuando ya se fueron todos los turistas que van a pasar el día, espectacular, muy lindo para tomarse unos mates al aire libre, despegue mi drone desde ahí incluso, en el personal había una chica argentina ,como nosotros, muy amable para todo, y muy buena onda todo en general, te sentís como en tu casa, sacrificas algunas comodidades pero compensa con una gran experiencia

Desventajas: La comodidad quizás no sea su fuerte, pero en todos es muy similar, dejamos de lado algo de comidad pero valió la pena, el desayuno puede mejorar, es muy simple

Ventajas: It was a real pleasure to spend some time at vista al mar en baru! The hostal is located perfectly and offers all what one need for a perfect stay directly at the beautiful carribean sea! so thankful to murillo and santiago for having me!!!

Ventajas: Las reposeras.

Desventajas: Hay 1 solo enchufe para cargar todo. Los baños son sucias. Temes que bañarte con un tacho con agua. Y para colmo, no hay filtro, tienen relaciones sexuales en la entrada, sin importar la hora y si hay gente ahí durmiendo o sentados. La peor pesadilla! Por suerte me cambie a otro hostel que fue increíble.

Ventajas: Las personas, la atención es realmente increíble

Desventajas: Todo estuvo perfecto

Ventajas: It's a hostel, so as long as you go in with that in mind, then you'll love it. Amazing set up in my opinion. You're basically sleeping under the stars! Lot's of cute critters (cats and dogs) around that seemed well taken care of. Caesar makes the best drinks. DO NOT fall for the other bars that charge you an arm and a leg for fancy looking drinks in coconuts. Just leave the drinks to the hostel staff. Breakfast and coffee is included. The food is amazing. They have a guy bring fresh seafood for lunch and will grill it right in front of you. I was lucky enough to come on a day when they had lobster. They also have a solar powered phone charger and wifi. What made this place stand out was the staff. They were very attentive to make sure my stay was comfortable and that I had enough to eat and drink at all times. I even met some girls staying at another hostel that kept hanging out at mine because it was so much more fun and comfortable. Also, the location was great and a tad less crowded than the other parts of playa blanca. It is definitely important that you have some basic spanish down, as most of the staff is solely spanish-speaking (obviously, it's a spanish speaking country.) One thing though, make sure you bring insect repellent that contains DEET. I was bitten by a tick there (apparently) and am being treated for possible early lyme disease. That being said, it's curable in the early stages, and you will be fine as long as you apply DEET containing insect repellent. I am sure this is just a one off case and I could've been bitten anywhere on the island. I would definitely come back here (just a little more prepared.

Ventajas: the staff was great and helpful

Desventajas: not clean att all we were disappointed for the price we spend
