Exceptional service, hotel’s architecture is thoughtful & carefully integrated with the nature & the landscape, complemented with fine dining culinary adventure with every bite, while rooms are perfectly organized & designed to deliver relaxing experience
Very nice property in all aspects.
Beach is ample, clean, well maintained and have enough staff for all activities and services
Restaurants have good quality, flavor and presentation.
The only issue that i have is that is located 1.20 hours from the airport or old town.
-Amenities are great.
-Staff isn’t that friendly like all the reviews here said. My favorite staff members were the Kid’s Club ladies (they’re lovely)
-Food is expensive and not great I’d give it 3/5
-Beach is beautiful

The overall hotel experience was great -the staff was exceptional
They treated us so well here I didn't mind the incidental charges. Be prepared to pay for every meal and every trip both ways to the city. This location is for families and relaxation but the Walled city is vibrant and culturally rich! The last 20 minutes of the ride to this location is rocky because the road is not paved. Transport by car is cheaper than by boat, so I recommend an SUV by land because the ride is a little smoother than a regular sedan.
Excellent property with an outstanding Team and service. The amenities and attention from the concierge, front desk, housekeepers, pool and beach, restaurant staff is beyond 5 stars… The only thing i would not consider 5 stars is the road that leads to the hotel, the gravel road is not suitable for everyone or any car, our taxi driver had a flat tire that had to change when he dropped us off, imagine if this happened in the middle of the road or at night! Hope the hotel and other properties nearby could adopt the road and fix it. other than that our stay was amazing!
The hotel was excellent. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. Food was delicious. Many restaurant choice which is necessary considering how remote the property is. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there relaxing soaking up the sun.
Hands-down, the staff was very polite.
But for a resort, there’s nothing open late at night to eat, and it was also very quiet and boring in the evenings- it didn’t have the Columbia vibe
The rooms are awesome, and the staff is great!
My stay at Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort was absolutely incredible from start to finish. 🌟
The service was truly amazing — the staff went above and beyond at every moment and are honestly some of the best I’ve experienced anywhere. The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and very comfortable, with top-tier amenities throughout the resort.
The beach and pool area were stunning, clean, and perfectly maintained — a true paradise. But what really stood out… THE FOOD — WOW. Every meal was exceptional, full of flavor, and exceeded expectations.
From A to Z, this was a flawless experience. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for luxury, relaxation, and world-class service. I will definitely be back!
This resort is truly a gem. Everything is clean and organized, beautiful property, but what stands out the most is the impeccable customer service. They go above and beyond to make your stay an amazing experience. Thank you!
This is the best place from service to whatever it is you want these people work hard at making sure you are 100 percent satisfied it is a little bit expensive but in life you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for best experience and want to treat yourself this is the place to stay
10/10 stay at Sofitel, incredible value, 5 star service from start to finish, amazing pools, amazing beaches, amazing food/drink. Would go again every time I’m back in Cartagena area.
We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. The staff was incredibly attentive—friendly, helpful, and always ready to make sure we had everything we needed.
The food was very good, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable. The wine was also great, though it did feel a little overpriced compared to the rest of the menu.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would happily return. Highly recommended!
Love the hotel 10/10 very clean and staff is very friendly worth every dollar. Only thing I would say there isn’t nothing to do out side of resort your kinda isolated in so bring everything you can from the city.
Just a short ride away from Cartagena, this hotel is in a premium location in Barú. The hotel staff was excellent and food was great. The facilities are superb. A great place to visit and relax.
