Sofitel Barú Cartagena

Good

We spent our honeymoon at Sofitel Barú Calablanca and it was an unforgettable experience. The entire property is absolutely stunning — from the lush landscaping to the variety of pools, including a serene adults-only pool that was perfect for relaxing. We dined at all the on-site restaurants and were blown away by the quality. The morning buffet breakfast was a daily highlight: fresh, delicious, and with a huge variety of options. Bahía served amazing meals, and the food truck by the beach was a fun and tasty surprise — perfect for casual bites with ocean views. La Pérgola offered the most breathtaking sunsets, making it the perfect spot to end the evening. A special shoutout to the wait staff at the L'illot private adult pool — they were truly outstanding. Attentive, friendly, and always went above and beyond to make sure we felt cared for. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our honeymoon! Very relaxing

The view is incredible, the facilities are immaculate, and the food is very good — but the best part is the people, the amazing team at the bar. Neila, Lilibeth, Laura, and Karina are absolutely extraordinary. Their smiles, their service, and their constant concern for making guests feel at home are truly unmatched. Lilot and Yon at the pool, and in general, everyone is incredibly kind and special! They truly made our days exceptional! At the main restaurant, breakfast is delicious and offers a wide variety to enjoy. One area for improvement is the rooftop bar — it needs more furniture, better service, and definitely a proper sound system. The concierges are very knowledgeable and provide excellent, personalized attention. Thank you to the entire team!

this is by far the best hotel in colombia, perfect stay , these people know what they are doing , the true meaning of hospitality. Amazing breakfast , special thanks to Onoris Salazar everyday caring about our satisfaction and confort during breakfast.

This property is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful and breathtaking, super clean, friendly staff, great service all over, The breakfast was one of the best and very organized, The reason for the 4 Star is, The restaurants are good but not great and very pricy $$$$ for Colombia and tourists , The food truck was the worse Taco we ever had and two water some margaritas , wait for the price , one small taco was 35,000 pesos =$9 and meat didn’t look that great and was cold and the margaritas were like $12 each, We don’t mind paying for good food but not get ripped off, I tried twice to contact the manger but both times he was not available , we highly recommend the resort just watch out for the food and drinks

Beautiful location made even more special because of the staff (Jesus was wonderful!). The rooms are gorgeous and the restaurants serve delicious food. We went with two teenage boys and there was plenty to keep them entertained. This was our first time at a Sofitel and we will be back!

Service was excellent, staff was friendly, property was beautiful. Rooftop bar provided unbelievable views, food, and drinks. If you go, be sure to ask for Jesi, an exceptional bartender with great taste, and an all around great person.

Narkis is an incredible host and server. He always takes care of us and treats us with respect. He also has fun and loves to dance. He’s a true legend! I recommend him to everyone who stays at Sofitel Baru!

This hotel has been one of the best we’re I’ve stayed. The people and their service was excellent, everyone was so kind and attentive and really gives that extra mile. The facilities were amazing, the food was out of this world. I will definitely come back and it’s 100% recommended

Lovely hotel with a great layout. The drive from Cartagena is fine but consider taking the boat transfer. There is no option to dine outside of the hotel but it’s such a peaceful place I think that’s its main attraction. The food was good overall. We enjoyed Humo the least which was a surprise as it is the hotels fine dining restaurant. Breakfast was very good. Gym was well resourced. The pools and beach were very clean and not crowded.
