1. Castillete Hotel & Beach Club

3 km from Playa Blanca

The bad- upon arrival, they told us we needed to pay “the other half” of what we owed. We had already paid in full on hotels.com, though apparently this was a mistake, that was supposed to only be half the price....

"If you're visiting from far away like the United States or on a special trip, I'd recommend staying at the Blue Apple Beach Club instead. You don't want to cheap on the little stuff on a vacation. The room was advertisied as having Wifi, and it did not have Wifi or cell signal. Youll have to walk by the pool area to make calls. Also the bathroom has black mold around the sink, and the shower water temperature doesn't get warm or hot. Those basic comforts make a big difference on a vacation, so I...

"Older Hotel, Great Experience The hotel is definitely older and could use some updating, but I still had a very good experience. The bed was comfortable, and I got a great night’s sleep. The staff were super helpful, friendly, and accommodating throughout my stay. Overall, despite the hotel being a bit dated, the excellent staff and comfortable bed made for a pleasant stay. I would happily stay here again."

Sofitel Barú Cartagena

10/10 Excellent

"Clean property, SPA 10/10, it’s an hour and a half away from the airport by car and the travel is sketchy just set up transportation with the resort and you’re set. Would definitely go back!"

Decameron Baru - All inclusive

"Couldn’t have imagined a better place to hang and decompress. We loved everything, especially how friendly and on-it the staff were."

Rocha Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Incredible Stay at Hotel Rocha – Isla Barú, Cartagena 🇨🇴 Our stay at Hotel Rocha in Isla Barú was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, comfortable, and truly taken care of. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by the natural beauty of Barú. It was the perfect place to disconnect, relax, and enjoy the Caribbean atmosphere. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, and the entire property had a welcoming and relaxing feel. What really stood out to us was the hospitality. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely helpful and made us feel like family rather than just guests. That kind of service makes such a difference! If you are looking for a place to stay in Isla Barú, I highly recommend Hotel Rocha. It is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and experience the warmth of Colombian hospitality. Thank you, Hotel Rocha, for such a memorable stay! We will definitely be back. 🇨🇴❤️🌴☀️ ★★★★★"

Thani Ecobeach Barú

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is great. It's worth the price you pay for it. It met my expectations and goes beyond. The staff is very helpful and nice: Rafa, Leo, Fernanda, Fabiola, etc. The rooms are small but go with the echo friendly concept of the hotel. The delicious breakfast is included and in general, the kitchen or restaurant has a variety of dishes. The only dark spot is a nearby hooter making noise around 4:30 a.m. that could disrupts your rest and causes stress. After complaining to the management the noise got reduced from 10 to 7. I will defenetely stay there in the future."

Tiny Village Cartagena Boutique Resort

10/10 Excellent

"If you want a rustic experience, very Colombian style away from high end resort, stay here. We loved our stay- the rooms have portable ac units, expect not to experience luxury island style- the place is very nice designed but no special amenities. The pool is small and nice- because it’s small it doesn’t stay super clean until night time but it’s ok. The food was good. We enjoyed our stay."
