"Just returned from an absolutely amazing stay in **Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort** in **Barú**, and I can’t recommend it enough. 🌴 If you’re looking for a place to truly disconnect, this is it. The atmosphere was incredibly tranquil—perfect for sitting quietly, relaxing, and soaking in the beauty of the island. The food was honestly **10 out of 5**. Every meal felt like a highlight of the trip. 🍽️ The staff were just as impressive—so attentive, warm, and genuinely personable. They made the entire stay feel special. Jesus, Daniel and Victor made my stay unforgettable! Jorge's cooking, the Chef at Humo, was visionary, precise, and deeply flavorful!! I would absolutely return without hesitation. The **only suggestion** I’d make is for the hotel to include the boat transfer from **Cartagena** to the island as part of the stay. Offering that ride complimentary would make the experience even smoother and more seamless. All in all, an unforgettable escape. ✨ "

"We had a great time. We stayed for a week and got to experience most of what the resort has to offer. We came with two little kids under two and glad we were put on the first floor and had a big family room. Moving around was hard work with a stroller because there’s lot of stairs and not enough ramps. The buffet food had lot of options to choose from. Some are hits and some misses. The restaurants had good food. My main issue was with communication. This was my birthday trip and I let the staff know during check in and asked what they offered for birthdays; I was told it was handled and during my dinner, no one was aware and I had to tell them it was my birthday. We weren’t told about the schedules or how anything worked, maybe it’s the language barrier. We had to figure things out and makeout what the pamphlet said. However we loved the overall staff from the restaurants to the lobby and overall services. Everyone is very patient and friendly. By the time we had to go the staff honestly felt like family. They knew our names and kids names. Really a great crew. "

"Poor condition room and AC does not work consistently and for the price the hotel was not the level of what they advertise for "

"The property was very clean and rooms also very an d the staff is very good with me"

"A fantastic place to see lots of birds. The food at the main service area is also quite good. If you're looking for a pristine, unspoiled environment, this is a good place."

"The most horrible experience, we took the house, and it was very nice but when we arrived they was waiting for us to charge extra money for each person, I booked a house for 8 people and it was suppose to be for my family of 5, but when we arrive they charge for each person I was very mad because they never said anything for us before to charge the book it’s obvio you book a house for 8 we will be more than one. And at this time I tried to book one more room because it was so expensive at the end to the argument the manager said ok I’ll make an adjustment but it was too late because I booked another room I asked for the refund and they took my money!! The place is beautiful but the manager and some people that work over there are so rude!! Definitely I’m not coming back, my friend asked me and reference to them don’t go! They are waiting to see what they can charged for you "

"This is a fantastic hotel all around. The food was wonderful, the pools are great, the location is prefer with the beach and lots of great restaurants close by. We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Caribe. "
