"Did not have a chance to try breakfast, as I left very early. Rooms are basic and clean. AC was weak in our room and took time to cool room. No AC in common areas. The staff was OK, not particularly friendly. Not mean or uncaring, just OK. You have to call them if you need to go out so they open the electric lock. I got the sense they felt I was bothering them every time I had to go outside or come in. The "gym" area is a joke, and so is the rundown hammock area in the back. Would I stay...

"The host was incredibly kind and hospitable. She made sure that we had everything that we needed to feel comfortable. We were also given some pretty great recommendations for activities. We were very happy that we listened to the suggestions because we had a ball! Breakfast was lovely and fresh every morning. They are very punctual and clean in the house, so don’t be surprised when breakfast is cleaned up promptly as the end time hits. The space was exactly as advertised and filled with lots of...

"Recomiendo 1000% Comenzando que la atención de las señoras de la mañana fue esplendido, desde el día uno que llegué me trataron super bien, al día siguiente era mi cumpleaños y me pusieron globos y me cantaron cumpleaños, se portaron super lindas conmigo, que viajaba solita. La ubicación super estratégica, muy bien ubicado. Las habitaciones super cómodas y con aire acondicionado y baño privado. Se merecen más reconocimiento. Desayuno super rico. Si vuelvo a Cartagena, sin duda alguna...

"For some unknown reason this place was already rated "excellent" whereas there was no previous reviews. So I felt a little bit manipulated as this place without being bad was way overrated. Although the place is generally clean, it nis not maintained properly. Some stuffs need some fixing. The room I stayed in for almost 10 days had suffered water leakage in the wall which resulted in traces on the wall which has not been redone or even painted. The mattress is definitely not comfortable &...

"I booked and paid on expedia, upon arrival the clerk tried to say i had not paid, then he tried to charge us more saying i had not paid the full price. I had to show him my records before he finally decided i had paid...it felt like a scam, he did apologize but it still felt like a deliberate act. Additionally while in the room, staff members would periodically enter the room and take pictures, i founf this to be disturbing. "

Sofitel Barú Cartagena

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our stay here. The place was so immaculately maintained, the landscaping was so beautiful, and with live plants even in the bathrooms, the place had the upscale feeling that we paid for. This is expensive - considering this is Colombia, but we lived our stay. The restaurants on site were also very good - breakfast at Calablanca was not the run of the mill hotel breakfast. We had dinner at Bahia twice - everything was delicious. Service staff were super friendly and cheerful all the time Beach was clean and calm. Not much seaweed to speak of Highlight or our trip "
