  • 5/5 Mark J. 2 years ago on Google
    Our group stayed for 2 nights with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all fresh, warm, and delicious. Each meal came with a juice which was very refreshing. The location on the island is in a perfect place. This place stays busy throughout the day. Boats stop to allow groups to swim and eat. The staff was very accomodating in every way. One morning I watched the staff enter the water to clean up the beach swimming area by picking up trash and cans that visitors left behind. At night the bar would close and, to accomodate us, they would fill up an ice chest with beer so that we could stay up late drinking on the beach. The next day they would charge us for the beers that we drank. The staff helped us make accomodation for a boat taxi and for a taxi back to Cartagena. The show is a pipe with fresh water but it is not warm. But, it is a shower. The rooms have a fan over each bed but no ACs. The electricity does turn off in the morning because power is provided by a large generator. When you check-in at the desk, they do give you a key to lock your room. Each room has a padlock. This isn't a typical 5 star hotel and that's expected but, considering all of the ammenities, the price, the location, and the service, it's 5 stars for me. The sunsets are pricless!! If you're looking to stay on the Island of Baru, I recommend this place.

    Great place to stay and beautiful view in the morning. You stay literally on the beach and have everything handy including a bar and the restaurant. Fernando is a great host and a person we’d come back for as he made our short holidays very enjoyable with music in the evenings and food delivered to our room.

    Clean and cute but the owner was a tad scary, there are MASSIVE crowds that arrive each day on an organized tour, and there's rarely any water for washing your hands, let alone shower.

    A very bad rip-off experience: My review concerns the restaurant (not the hotel). A tour from Cartagena took us to this place to eat lunch which was "included" in the price. When we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter asked us whether we wanted to eat fish, shrimps, ceviche (and some other options). I went for shrimps. However, upon our departure, they gave me a bill of 70,000 COP because apparently the only option in the "included" lunch was fish (and they didn't say a word about this when they were offering the different options!!!). I asked for the price of the fish (which was the only food missing on their menu!), and they said 15,000 COP (by far the lowest price on their menu). After resisting for a while, they agreed that I pay the difference (which was nearly four times the price of the included lunch). That was not fair at all since I had not been informed about it in advance. However, I had to pay for it because I had eaten the food and I was trapped on an island!!!

    Completely flooded by day trippers who are clearly held at a higher priority than guests. The customer service is decent, but the management is poor. Just lots of little things wrong, which means we will stay in other places on our next trip. Beautiful area though. Just not a great experience at this hotel.

    Classic local food. The beach here is a must visit (just where water shoes). The water is gorgeous. The only problem I had was the public restrooms were not flushing properly. My family had an amazing time otherwise.

    The place is amazing, is a family business who mostly works with daily tour which is also a family business. Every day in the morning I could see the cooker cooking all the food, everything really fresh and good. The prices are in the avarage of baru which is for turist, so more expensive than a place in on land but still affordable. After 3 pm is a paradise, most of the people leave and u can enjoy quiet and silence to enjoy the sunset with a cold beer... The oner is a really nice guy. They have 2 amazing white dogs who are all day tide becouse are still puppies and need to learn, but they get free up for the sunset and is a wonderful scene :) Really recommended

    I love it. Omar was very gentle with us. The rooms are perfect if you are looking for a beachcabin. Fantastic pictures over the sea. White sand and clear water.

    Worst experience ever. Just don't go to Baru Playa Blanca. They just want your money so bad they will rent you the sand if they can.

    Was here for a day trip with a tour from Cartagena. Drinks are expensive (40,000 COP for a pina colada) while food is more decently priced. Negative part is they charged my credit card twice and luckily I checked while still in the beach area. Be weary.

    If you arrive there, probably will be due to any third party travel agency, in my case was "Lizamar", they have like a deal for people who wants to make Baru beach ⛱️ day. Here I just only rate this restaurant "Posada Los Tesoros". First, as soon as you arrive some of waiters will contact you to give a chair and umbrella 🏖️, please ask First the price. The average price is 30-40k COPS. I was very disappointed because one waiters , his name is ARIEL, wanted 80k COPS. This kind of attitudes causes the discomfort of tourist and will diminishes the visitors. About the food, it wasn't really good 😐.

    A stop on our boat. The food was good, we had a meal as part of the tour here and the water was nice but this place is very old and not every nice to look at. Not a picturesque destination at all. But I loved the stray dogs.

😠 I’m disappointed in the service we have been having at crepes and waffles. Extremely slow, rude waitresses, they do not give you attention- plus there was a green worm in our food. Did not take it off our bill

👍 If the servers were only helpful and friendly I would give this restaurant five stars. The servers seem to have an attitude and an air of snootiness. Not acceptable. The food is well presented but it does take a while to get it. My Poblano crepe was quite acceptable. The mushroom crepe was super yum...
