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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nena beach resort AC, pool and beach beds.
Amazing Staff and rustic/minimalist atmosphere. From all the places, hotels and hostels this is for sure one of the best places to stay in Baru. Luis (the owner) and all the staff was really attentive and cared about all requests. Good food and breakfast. Lovely dinners by the sea...
The place is extremely rustic, romantic and cute all built in wood structure.
Missing some commodities but that's the spirit in wild Baru ;)
Good white sandy beach, local food and blue sea!
The only thing we liked was the ocean was really close to us, there was no power light and water for restrooms,and Natalia was very rude and she blocked us from whatsapp, I spend one night but it was hell because there was no electricity for the fans, and this island is extremely hot, the power plant was out of gas and I think they should be prepare with extra gas, to take care of their costumers. They only good thing was Jose the groundskeeper, very nice person.
We had a room on the water, which was amazing. Private, quiet and views were spectacular. Bikes provided for each room were a cool touch. The beach at the hotel was amazing, and the lunch spot had great food and service as well. Definitely spring for the boat trip to the hotel, such a nice ride and much more scenic than the taxi ride. We heard the bugs could be bad, but didn't experience anything like that.
The hotel is right on a white sand beach, and all rooms have stunning ocean views. It has all the amenities we need. Though we only used our room for a day trip, we enjoyed every bit of a few hours there. One of the owner/managers arranged the transportation to go back to our Cartagena airbnb, to the extent he walked with us in the night to the cab parked some distance away. We very much appreciated it!
The place and staff are amazing!
The landscape where the hotel is located is just fantastic.
The room gives a unique and exquisite experience, including the shower. I loved it!
The owners of the hotel, Juan Camilo and his mother, are extremely kind and friendly, also the food was very tasty and a generous menu with multiple options.
I highly recommend spending a few nights there.
Contact from the hostel was great, they arranged the transport from my hotel in Getsemani to the hostel for 100,000. I had a driver collect me, drive me to Baru, where I was met by someone who helped carry my luggage to a boat that took me to the hostel - 10/10 for this part. I also had the same for my return.
The location is also great just a few steps from the ocean.
Well situated in a quiet area of Baru. The staff is professional and the food was very good. Olga was always quick to answer any questions I had before coming and arranging our transports. We had a wonderful few days of relaxation at Playa Manglares and totally recommend staying here if you are planning in visiting Isla Baru.
All was fine , the beach is beautiful the only compliant about that was that the beach had a lot of seaweeds , the hotel is very beautiful it’s like a paradise white beaches blue seas , food quality and drinks are excellent despite its prices ( a little high ) but they worth it in summary 100 % recommended no regrets!
The hotel is right on the beach, so the views are beautiful. The water is blue turquoise.The staff is cleaning the sand all the time. The food and fruit juices are very good. But the best was the staff (Freddy, Ronaldo, Agustin…) as they go out of their way to serve and please you.
I have to give this review because people need to know some things before booking this place or any other place on Isla Baru because information is lacking on Booking.
For the good sides, I would say the view from sea view rooms and the fact that you are directly on the beach.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The pool was a great way to escape the midday heat and crowds on the beach. The food was well prepared. I appreciated that there was always somewhere for hotel guests to sit and relax, even with day time visitors.
We had a wonderful time at Hotel Isla del Encanto! Everything was top-level, from gorgeous property, to super friendly service, and delicious gourmet food. Our favorite server, Lucas, was super attentive, friendly, and always remembered our preferences.
Breakfast was traditional Colombian fare with coffee and served to us at the table outside our room on the balcony overlooking to blue-green Caribbean ocean and all it's morning activities! Best morning breakfast view ever!
The location is just perfect 15 minutes from Playa Blanca which make the stay more quiet.
Private beach.
The staff was very good and helpful.
Staff were always making sure that the hotel stays clean despite the sand.
I love staying in that marvelous place, Daniel is kind and willing to help in anything you need. He can recommend cheap tours and activities to do around Barú and Islas del Rosario. The food is mouthwatering.
I love the most the wonderful setting where the hotel is located: the mangroves by the beach, the tropical trees surrounding the property! The hotel is warm and very nicely decorated with functional features
