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.

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.

This trip was everything I needed for my family. The resort looks seems massive and small at the same time. The kids play area is incredible and the hours are fantastic. I can’t name a resort ive ever stayed at where I felt like it was just as much for my children as it was for me. The massages were awesome and that breakfast buffet is to die for. I will never NOT book Sofitel Baru Cartagena when I’m in Cartagena Colombia. Wow. 10/10.

When booking a stay at a Sofitel, one takes for granted that the facilities and amenities will be excellent. What isn't always guaranteed, however, is the quality and warmth of the people behind the hotel experience. Our week at the Sofitel Barú was wonderful—not just because of the beaches, pools, and beautiful room, but above all because of the smiles and excellent service provided by everyone who looked after us. From Emily at check-in and Enrique, who handled our daily transfers, to Javier, Ana, Luis, and the rest of the breakfast team, Ramses during our dinner at Humo, and Narkis, who was always attentive when we arrived at the beach each morning—they, along with the others whose names we didn't catch, undoubtedly made this week an unforgettable experience.

Overall great hotel with top notch amenities. Rooms were comfortable, spacious and perfect for beach setting. Beach had great seating options and so many pools to choose from. Gym was nice but lacked sauna / steam room as had to pay separately at the spa. No hot jacuzzi on premises either.
Main drawback is the quality of food for the price. Given hotel’s location you have no choice but to eat at their average and very expensive food venues. Humo was good but costly. Breakfast was thankfully included. Other venues including the food truck were average and very costly. We live in NYC and are used to costly but insist the quality must match, here it did not!

It would be better if communication over whatsapp was handled better. I had reached out to coordinate transportation from the airport to the resort but responses were delayed or slowed. I had to call multiple times over WhatsApp and the phone number on the website to be connected to someone. It was stressful to know if we had transportation to the resort or not.
Monsieur L.,
