The beach is great and relaxing with nobody hassling you. One of our lunches we had to wait 2 hours, but aside from that it was a great getaway. ##### Corey Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Betzaida Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is absolutely beautiful, it’s clean, the food and drinks are amazing, the staff are so friendly and welcoming 🙏we were so lucky the day we arrived. We were the only guest. So we had the whole place to ourselves. We definitely will come back. ##### Betzaida Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Krista Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It was cool to be on this beach at night after all of the boats leave. The lights on the beach are lovely at night. The staff is very nice and accommodating. The rooms are pretty basic for the price, with no comfortable sitting areas and no screens on the windows, so you need to run the AC at all times and can't leave the widows open to hear the ocean, lest you get bitten by mosquitoes. The beds are overly soft. The fact the room includes day use of the beach is nice, but the beach and pool do quite crowded with day pass users. Ocean access is tricky due to washed up coral and sea grass. Food is just OK for the price, although maybe understandable since the resort is remote. ##### Krista Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katia Jan 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### SABAI is gorgeous! This property is gorgeous. Being steps from the water (beach) or pool was just what we needed to start 2025 relaxed! We loved the views from the pool and the room was very comfortable with a large bed, bathroom and even small dining table. The cable TV from the room was comprehensive. ##### Katia Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gisela Mar 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great customer service!

I feel super fortunate to have found this beautiful, relaxing, peaceful spot right in the Caribbean…….the perfect getaway from the business of Cartagena. The staff is welcoming and friendly, always available to accommodate. I was solo on this trip and loved it; there were also many families and couples enjoying a romantic getaway. This place if just perfect for anyone looking for tranquility and the beauty of the Caribbean. ##### Kimberly Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Paul Mar 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointing We chose SABAI to end our trip for the peace and quiet it advertises. However, on one of the days we stayed here, the hotel accepted an exceptionally large group of really loud partygoers that really ruined the experience. I talked to the manager and explained my discontent, which she understood, and offered a discount. At checkout, the discount was forgotten, and I ended up having to argue with staff who gave us 20% off of one night, which is peanuts. Very disappointing. I hope that management realizes that booking large groups at the expense of the quality of guests is unacceptable and cheap. On the bright side, staff were wonderful and the place is great. Thank you to Miri and Juan and all the other staff members that were lovely. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D4D17B62DC7B1F0ED7A8D0B8F2E0131BDA428DCC1711213163810.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4F2006849E3C1A4F33AF740E1B7EC12CA51F54341711213375786.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B4D83B5ED2095F020EBD48EA978DFF05B52AA8A21711213373826.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AB02551C5657A726F1736BF18901F2FA5C0AD6F71711213374740.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### SARA Jan 24, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not recommended Good location, however the service is lacking especially for the money they charge. I did not assume resort level service but I also expected better service. The host either caters better to day trippers or to non- solo female travelers. Either way, I felt taken advantage of. I am fortunate to have visited dozens of countries, including remote, and from the day I booked the reservation, the ball was dropped. I had to plea at times for communication and had this been a refundable fare, I would have cancelled. Even while on-site, I continued to plea, via written messages for communication. A couple of people onsite did attend to my situation but even that felt like a negotiation and that I wad being scammed. So, yes, I was taken advantage of, perhaps "scammed" - and no, I would never return or recommend this location. Plenty of others around if you do a bit of research. I am in the process of capturing my travels through Colombia in a blog where this experience will be further detailed along with photos.

Når du betaler såpass mye for et rom, og man er fullstendig avhengig av hotellet (finnes ingen butikker i nærheten) så bør i det minste drikkevann være noe som tilbys gjestene gratis. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Apr 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Eine sehr ruhige und entspannte Anlage, perfekter Pool optimal für ein paar Tage zum entspannen. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jose Luis Oct 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Todo muy bien, sólo el costo de transporte para llegar, es caro ##### Jose Luis Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcos Mar 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nos encantó la tranquilidad, que no haya vendedores constantes y la exclusividad qué hay para los huéspedes.

Der Aufenthalt kann schnell langweilig werden, weil man fast nichts machen kann außer am Strand liegen und baden. Sie haben aber schöne Hängematten und Schaukeln im Wasser. ##### Marion Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippa Apr 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My husband I visited Baru Playa Eco-Beach resort in March and simply could not have been more pleased with our choice. We read all the reviews before booking, found them to be mostly true BUT for us we LOVED LOVED LOVED it. A real piece of heaven! To reach the resort you need to take a boat, we were coming from Catagena and contacted the resort (by whatsapp NOT expedia or phone) and they arranged for pick up by taxi from our hotel. It worked really well and we were in the car for an hour until then in a small boat for 15 mins. Once we got there we did not leave! We ate all our meals there (we had paid full board but it was hard for me to understand the half board). We did read the reviews and took two big bottles of water for cleaning our teeth and some snacks just in case - which honestly I am not sure we needed. The food was exceptional for my husband. He enjoyed extremely fresh fish in some form for most meals. For me, a bit harder as I am a vegetarian, but the chef and everyone there did there best to look after me - and the food I got was very nice but I definately had to be flexible. The place was just what we needed - very quiet, peaceful and so restful. The staff were INCREDIBLY nice. There were a couple of dogs that were very, very friendly - and I fell in love with them! We read books and sat on the beach beds and took the rowing boats out. The boat ride back took us through the mangroves after tearful goodbyes to the staff who were friends now! ##### Philippa Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart Mar 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful Private Beach Paradise The resort is very cozy and well maintained the beach is immaculate and the ocean is clean.

If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the more crowded places and are looking for some peace and quiet this is the place. Not too many activities to do, there are kayaks, volleyball and a few other activities (for purchase) but just getting away with no itinerary and not being bothered with vendors trying to sell to you all day, this is the place. I recommend bringing bottled water and snacks to last your stay, although the food here is AMAZING and portions are decent. The water is amazing too, in the early morning it is as smooth as a piece of glass and depending on the weather out in the Gulf, you can have some decent waves. They rake the beach each morning in order to provide a clean start to the day, meaning all of the seaweed that washes ashore gets picked up. Speaking of the beach, it appeared this resort had the biggest beach in the area. I honestly probably won’t come back, just because there is so much more to see and do in Colombia, but I 100% recommend if you want time away from everything and/or spend quality time with your family or alone. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/579EDA3FD58703D6E17BF720025507116CF86F951634315858420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0C068831C991115D855B2B23E9DEA7E303E62C491634315854035.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1077A6B773075259476B3BA81CA58C614C2FC15D1634315855527.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco Sep 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excelente ##### Marco Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lotte New York Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Lotte-New-York-Palace.h4818.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco at Embarcadero](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-San-Francisco-At-Embarcadero.h6505.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Radisson Blu 1882 Hotel, Barcelona Sagrada Familia](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Barcelona-1882.h29700999.Hotel-Information) > > [The Accord Metropolitan](https://www.expedia.ca/Chennai-Hotels-The-Accord-Metropolitan.h1209167.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsong on the Reef](https://www.expedia.ca/Providenciales-Hotels-Windsong-On-The-Reef.h2422198.Hotel-Information) > > [Masd Mediterráneo Hotel & Apartamentos](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Masd-Mediterraneo.h3385670.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Alberta](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Alberta-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d11111-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Samesun Toronto - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Samesun-Toronto.h76923268.Hotel-Information) > > [Econo Lodge Winnipeg South](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Winnipeg-South.h5502037.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Marathon Florida Keys](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Marathon-Florida-Keys.h19823.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Kingston-Waterfront.h4812.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Whitsundays (HTI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/hti/toronto-to-hamilton-island) > > [Flights from Pia](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/3000036505/flights-from-pia) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yxu/kitchener-to-london) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yvr/edmonton-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/tpa/bellingham-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yxx/calgary-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Los Angeles (ONT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ont/calgary-to-ontario) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Key West (EYW) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/eyw/yyz/key-west-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Fort-Lauderdale-Hollywood-Intl.d5000262.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Hertz Destinations In Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Hertz-Destinations-In-Canada.d31-c40.Car-Rental-Destination-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Anguilla Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Anguilla.d6.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Italy Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Italy.d86.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Devils Tower National Monument](https://www.expedia.ca/Devils-Tower-National-Monument-Devils-Tower.d6094095.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Downtown Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Downtown-Ottawa.dx6057857)
