Stunning place but a bit of a grift

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

djet17 TripAdvisor review

There is no doubt that the resort is stunning. There are 7 immaculate bars & pools. We are world beach goers and loved this stretch of beach on Baru. I believe every room has an ocean view (we had an ocean front balcony and got the basic room). The food was all delicious, but as expected the drinks over priced. Here are the cons (big ones I think you should know). First, getting here is no joke and I did not realize this on booking. We ended up booking boat transfers from Cartagena (do not rent a car!!!!). The boats were both gorgeous but it cost us almost $350 round trip for 2 adults. We also booked a private boat ride to the Rosario islands. They are beautiful and it was worth it, but we way over paid. We are boaters at home and understand the costs, and we know we way over paid, however we were also glad we didn’t miss the islands (note: you go snorkeling & they take you to a restaurant of your choice for lunch). Now here’s what left us unwilling to come back: I prepaid our room rate and the private boat. On check out our bill was for our food/drinks and transport. Each food & drink bill has gratuity added on. We tipped our boat tour guides in cash. The hotel added an optional gratuity to the total of our bill - all of which was tipped as we went. This gets split amongst the staff. If I didn’t notice that, it would’ve added a lot of money to our bill! Basically tipping on already tipped services. It made me leave there with a sour end to a wonderful few days. My advice is to pay as you go around the resort to avoid any confusion on check out.

I attended a conference with a group about burnout prevention and taking a pause and this place was the perfect setting. Amazing food, beautiful facilities, friendly staff and excellent service. Too bad the time was too short.

Amazing stay at the Sofitel Baru

Clive S Families - TripAdvisor review

We are a family of 4 adults and this was our first time at the Sofitel Baru. We took the boat from Cartagena and spent 3 nights there. This is a beautiful high end resort on the beach which is secluded, offers all the amenities needed and never feels crowded. On arrival, we were upgraded to a penthouse suite which was a nice surprise. Standout experiences were the breakfast buffet, the amazing massages, the beautiful swimming pools and Humo, the Peruvian/Asian fusion restaurant. A special call out to Lila and Danilo for their attentive customer service. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a super relaxing experience.
