Olga and the staff were friendly, professional and extremely helpful with our requests. Delicious meals prepared with local ingredients so our experience allowed us to enjoy the Colombian cuisine to the fullest. It’s worth to highlight that the arrangement coordinated with the hotel for our transportation from and to Cartagena has been great. Jhony is an excellent driver, very knowledgeable and respectful so we felt safe going to Playa Manglares and returning to Cartagena. It’s a beautiful place, a gem that we are so happy to have chosen for our stay while visiting Colombia. Tour to nearby islands and other activities are also facilitated if you ask for recommendations as Olga has been very welcoming. ##### Laura Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### S Julie Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities L'hôtel est bien entretenu, convivial, petit et calme. Tout est propre, le personnel et la propriétaire sont très gentils et vous aiderons avec plaisir. La nourriture est excellente. La seule raison pour ne pas mettre un cinq étoile est la plage. Nous savions qu'elle était rocailleuse et que l'eau était trouble mais nous ne savions pas qu'elle était pleine de moules coupantes sur plusieurs mètres. Vous devez vous éloigner dans la partie très profonde pour pouvoir pour nager, ce qui n'est pas agréable. Ma fille s'est coupée dès la première baignade. Je tiens a préciser que Olga, la propriétaire a bien pris soin de la blessure. Il est essentiel que vous ayez des souliers de plage, du chasse moustiques et des bouchons si vous êtes sensible au bruit des ventilateurs et parfois des coqs. Les douches froides et l'absence de climatisation ne nous ont pas dérangés. Endroit parfait pour déconnecté. ##### S Julie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Un posto bellissimo, gestito con amore da parte dei proprietari super gentili. La struttura é creato con grande attenzione alla natura, non c’è l‘aria condizionata, si dorme come le finestre aperte, la doccia é privata, ma all‘aperto. Una sistemazione molto particolare - a noi - nonostante siano soliti a scegliere strutture diverse - é piaciuto tanto. Unico neo, in questo periodo il mare non é caraibico e poco invitante. Inoltre c’è stato una festa nella villa accanto e non siamo riusciti a chiudere occhio fino alla 04.00 di mattina causa musica da discoteca a volume altissimo. Ma questo mi auguro non sia tutte le sere e la proprietaria non solo si é scusata - non avendo poi neanche delle responsabilità di quanto accade accanto - ci ha anche offerta la cena che del resto come la colazione era ottimo. Lo consigli? Si, per coloro a cui piace un posto eco, diverso dal solito e che sappia che tra maggio e ottobre il mare non é caraibico. Così almeno si ha la chiarezza di cosa si prenota per non aspettarsi una spiaggia caraibica. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolina Aug 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is just magical.

It's hard to put the atmosphere into words, except calming & magical. It's simple and rustic, but also stylish, and every detail is thought of. The owners were gracious and helpful. Helped us arrange a taxi to the aviary and a day-trip semi-private boat to the Rosario Islands which was exceptional (do this instead of Playa Blanca). Wonderful accomodations and vacation. ##### Amy Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Gloria May 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is fabulous. It is in a close location to Playa Blanca in Baru, it is very quiet, safe and beautiful. The beach is not white sand, but you can definitely go in and swim. This property is surrounded by trees and it is right by the ocean. You can see and hear the beach while you have breakfast/lunch dinner. The staff is fabulous and the food is great. Bring mosquito repellant as there are mosquitoes at night, though the beds have mosquito netting too. The only draw back is that it has no Air conditioning in the rooms. They do have fans though. As a Canadian we melted, but we throughly loved the place. I would recommend and stay in this place again. ##### Gloria Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrien Dec 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I recommend without a doubt Genuine, remote, wonderfull.

Playa Manglares superó nuestras expectativas. Es un lugar lindísimo con detalles íntimos y elegidos para hacerle a uno sentirse en casa. Las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas. No tener televisor, pero sí Wifi fue liberador. La playa privada entre manglares con sus hamacas hermosísima cuando uno busca - como nosotros - estar lejos de las multitudes. El agua no es cristalina, pero invita a nadar y jugar y es apto para toda la familia. Las excursiones son fáciles e interesantes y tiene una excelente ub para visitar sitios turísticos y “volver a casa” por la tarde. El servicio personal, cariñoso y con una hospitalidad inmejorable. Pero para nosotros lo mejor fue el relacionamiento amistoso con Olga y Marcelo, sus perros y gatos. Encontramos una casa fuera de casa en un lugar mágico y amigos. Fue increíble!

We love this place !!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 3, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities The property is pleasant, situated next to the bayaide of Baru. As a result the beach can be a bit smelly from the waste water from the local village. Also on the weekends expect to hear loud music from the village, even though it is 3 kms away. Also there is no A/C in thebrooms or hot showers. The price is really too high for what you get - no pool etc. The local beach, Playa Blanca is extremely dangerous and I would not recommend under any circumstances that you go there. We were basically kidnapped and held hostage until we were taken to the village and forced to pay a large sum on our credit card in order to be freed up. If you dare to venture outside of the property expect to be constantly hassled by people, they will stand in the middle of the road and try to stop your car - ignore them and run them over if you have to. They want to rob you. WATCH OUT. I would not recommend visiting Baru, spend a little more and go to either Tierra Bomba (Blue Apple) or any of the lovwly lodges in the beautiful Rosarios Islands. Baru is not worth it at all! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric Dec 20, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay at playa Manglares Absolutely wonderful stay at Playa Manglares.

A great option to relax with your own private access to the ocean and still close enough to easily access the activities at playa Blanca or boat tours of the nearby islands. Olga is a wonderful host and very helpful with logistics. The hotel food is homemade style and very delicious. ##### Andres Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Unique and natural Our Playa Manglares experience was great. We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. Upon our request, Olga and Juan Camilo organized a very special dinner on the beach for us, lit by torches, candles and decorated with flowers. The setting and food was unforgettable. Playa Manglares is an eco-hotel so it requires a different mindset and expectations. One has to appreciate that commodities in a remote location are difficult and expensive to provide. Air conditioning is not provided. Our room had 3 fans so we re-located them surrounding our bed and the temperature was manageable. The view from our room was incredible, overseeing the mangrooves, the property gardens and the ocean bay. We were lucky to have a clear night and the sky was dark so we enjoyed the stars. The food was consistently good. Service was very attentive. Daily mojitos are brought straight into your room. The beach is not the manicured Caribean beach one sees in resort brochures but the setting is amazing. The only creatures you will share the beach with (besides the few other friendly guests) are pelicans and other exotic birds. The trees along the beach have tiny flowers that attract hundreds of butterflies. Laying on the hammocks by the beach is meditation heaven. The open shower on the deck, under the trees and bay view is a very unique experience. The nearby Aviario Nacional is worth a trip to Colombia. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cameron Jun 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Eco-friendly resort built for relaxation The owners are lovely people who really care about making your stay comfortable and memorable. The food and service are both excellent. We stayed on the top floor and it was very clean and spacious. The mosquito nets are certainly necessary for night time, but what would you expect staying out on Baru. Nearby is an incredible Aviary that you can visit. Take time to chill in the hammocks, swim in the warm water, paddle the kayak, meet your neighbors, and just enjoy the serenity! This place is a gem! ##### Cameron Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### María Jan 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### María Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels.d4127.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fort Pontchartrain Detroit, a Wyndham Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Hotels-Hotel-Pontchartrain-Detroit-By-Bel-Air-Collection.h3653.Hotel-Information) > > [FourSeasons Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Four-Seasons.0-0-d6023515--bFourSeasons.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [St. Louis Union Station Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Louis-Hotels-St-Louis-Union-Station-Hotel.h8738.Hotel-Information) > > [Canmore Penthouse Loft / Round Heated Outdoor Pool](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Canmore-Penthouse-Loft-Round-Saltwater-Heated-Outdoor-Pool.h31874578.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hudson's Hope](https://www.expedia.ca/Hudsons-Hope-Hotels.d181772.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cottages Corner Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/Corner-Brook-Cottages.d9579-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Cabin Rentals Sussex](https://www.expedia.ca/Sussex-Cabins.d7000-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Austria](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Austria.d11.Hotel-Destinations) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Aruba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Aruba-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d9-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Waterfront Kelowna Cabin #3 with hot tub sleeps 12](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Waterfront-Kelowna-Cabin-3-With-Hot-Tub-Sleeps-12.h91866032.Hotel-Information) > > [Trump International Hotel Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Trump-International-Hotel-Las-Vegas.h1857289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mountain View](https://www.expedia.ca/Mountain-View-Hotels.d6295183.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Preskil Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mahebourg-Hotels-Preskil-Island-Resort.h36762255.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yow/montreal-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/7954/flights-from-mississauga) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dub/yyz/dublin-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to British Columbia (YAZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yaz/edmonton-to-tofino) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Madinah (MED)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/med/edmonton-to-madinah) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Sydney (SYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/syd/vancouver-to-sydney) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/cok/new-york-to-cochin) > > [Delta](https://www.expedia.ca/Delta-Flights.cDL.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to South Burlington (BTV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/btv/calgary-to-burlington) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Heathrow](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Heathrow.d5392460-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Gdynia](https://www.expedia.ca/Gdynia.dx5055)
