Maria A. M. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

I love the Sofitel brand- have been a fan for as long as I can remember. However, the Sofitel in Baru left a lot to be desired. The location and property itself were stunning and beautiful. The service, however, was largely poor and inattentive regardless of location. At the beach, trying to order even a cup of water felt like a Herculean task. At the same time, could not relax for more than 5 minutes at the beach without a vendor offering a service. At the restaurants, service was incredibly slow despite the restaurant not being busy. The WhatsApp number that was sent to ask questions or use as communication would either not respond or, when they did, made a reservation for the wrong day and wrong amount of people (which, when arriving at the nearly empty restaurant, caused my party of 2 to almost be turned away?). Ordering food anywhere- at the pool, beach, in a restaurant, to the room, or even trying to get a golf cart to carry our luggage to check out took exponentially longer than should be acceptable and while it is a beach resort and therefore a more relaxed setting, that should not be the standard of service. Lastly, a small note on the lovely chocolates that were left nightly: delicious, but the ones brought on the last night we brought home and when I opened them, they were both completely covered in green mold. Perhaps worth checking the inventory before giving it to customers.

Dear Mme. M., Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and for your kind words about the Sofitel brand and our property. We are truly sorry that your stay did not live up to the level of service you expect from us, and we completely understand your frustration with the delays you experienced at the pool, the beach, the restaurants, and when requesting a golf cart. We are especially sorry about the issues with the WhatsApp line and the restaurant reservation made for the wrong day and number of guests. Those are exactly the kind of details that should make a stay easier, not more stressful. We have shared your feedback with our Food & Beverage, Front Office, and Guest Relations teams so we can review our response times and our reservation process. We also appreciate you letting us know about the chocolates from your last night. That is not the standard we want to deliver, and we are reviewing our inventory and amenity checks to make sure it does not happen again. Regarding the beach vendors, we understand that being approached while trying to relax can feel intrusive. Under national legislation, beaches in Colombia cannot be privatized, which means local vendors, who are natives of the area, are legally allowed to offer their services there. Our security team monitors the area to keep this under control, and we also run awareness initiatives and activities with the vendors to promote respectful interactions with our guests. We value your honest feedback, and it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and offer you the experience the Sofitel brand stands for. Warm regards, Sara Cardona Guest Relations Manager

We did not know what to expect but the beautiful Sofitel did not disappoint. Everything was flawlessly coordinated from the catamaran arrival (and departure) to the warm service, spacious and comfortable room and spectacular setting. The many F&B offerings and pools allowed us to enjoy 4 days with variety.

From the minute we arrived the experience was great. The hotel itself is very pretty and the staff from the reception to the beach and everywhere in between was very friendly and accommodating. We came as a big group of 25 people and as difficult as this could be, the restaurants worked with us to provide a wonderful experience every time.

the day we arrived we didn’t get the king bed we asked for and i had ordered birthday decorations for my wife which turned 50 and the decoration wasn’t put up, and the room phone didn’t work. Had to get in contact with hotel staff several times before bed and phone were finally fixed, the staff wanted to put up the birthday decorations the following day . That is not what I wanted, i ask the staff to credit the amount paid to my bill and the answer was ‘ i have see if that is something we can do. They finally did after i got my wife a spa package. The following day it was like pulling teeth to get a reservation for 12 people at one of the restaurants, we finally got one and a table close to our had a dog that did no stop barking for about an hour and a half. When we asked the staff if they could help with the situation they simply ignored us. In the beach we had 4 different rooms ordering from the restaurant each time we ordered we gave the waiter the room number for the bill. They screwed everything up. It was a mess that we had to figure out on our own.

Property was very clean and the staff went out of their way to make our stay perfect. The breakfast buffet was delicious and coffee was amazing. The restaurants also offered whatever craving you desired and satisfied us every time with a nice combination of protein and fresh vegetables as a side. All the food was presented beautifully. The beach and pools are relaxing and with breathtaking views wherever you looked. I would definitely return to this resort.

Dania M. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The Sofitel was absolutely beautiful. It was a perfect addition to our travels in Colombia. The resort was clean, very private, quiet and safe. The rooms were spacious and the views were unmatched. The resort was very quiet, not sure if it was more of a low season but it seemed relatively empty. We had no issues with this and actually preferred it this way. The food selection was fine. Some restaurants were better than others. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Narkis was so attentive to us at the pool and was super quick to bring anything we needed. He went above and beyond. The drive there was interesting. It's rough and I wasn't expecting how isolated it would be but it was well worth it.

Dear Dania M., Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Sofitel Barú Cartagena. We are delighted to hear that you found our resort stunning and appreciated the beauty and tranquility of our surroundings. It is gratifying to know that the spacious rooms and unmatched views contributed to your enjoyment. We are also pleased to learn that our team, especially Narkis, made a positive impact on your stay with their attentive service. Your feedback regarding the food selection has been noted, and we continually strive to enhance our culinary offerings to meet our guests' expectations. We appreciate your understanding of our location's unique characteristics, which indeed add to the charm of our resort. Thank you once again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for another memorable stay. Quality Team

The beach and breakfast buffet are amazing. However the rooms are small not well designed and uncomfortable in terms of space and basic decor. (For example the mini bar is tiny and they place two huge coffee mugs that barely fit) bathroom tiny as well to what you are paying for. I understand you pay a premium price for everything there but 180 COP for fried fish on the beach with only ONE side (knowing that this traditional dish comes with rice salad and plantain which should cost nothing to the hotel) is a bit exaggerated to say the least. The same goes for the rest of the food and beverage prices. (Knowing that once you are inside the hotel there’s not much choice to dining outside). When doing checkin ive never been informed of hotel activities (and im a frequent guest), the checkin staff are not the nicest nor the most informative.

Dear Mme. D., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to know that you enjoyed our beach and breakfast buffet, as these are experiences we take great pride in offering. At the same time, we sincerely regret that certain aspects of your stay did not fully meet your expectations. We understand your comments regarding the room layout and décor, and we appreciate you sharing these observations, as they help us identify opportunities for improvement. Regarding our dining and beverage pricing, our rates reflect not only the quality of the ingredients but also the unique logistics involved in operating on Barú Island. Nevertheless, we understand that value is perceived differently by each guest, and we appreciate your perspective. We are especially concerned to learn that information about our hotel activities was not shared during check-in and that the service provided did not feel welcoming or informative. This is certainly not the experience we strive to deliver, and your comments have been shared with the relevant teams for review and improvement. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide a more seamless and memorable experience. Sara Cardona Guest Relations Manager
