Guest Reviews

• Francesca (10/5): Increible - Staff excelente, muy buena atención
• Joshua (10/5): Super chilled, unreal views, amazing people….. that’s all you need in life - This was one of the most relaxing stays I’ve ever had. Everything about this was perfect. Pictures online do not do it justice. The staff were so lively, helpful and all in incredible. The food was unbelievably amazing. The chef should be given an award for how good it was. If given the chance this should be the place you stay. They have a dog as well which is the little guardian on the hotel but she is super friendly and playful. This is not a problem with the property it’s self but the whole beach front. Everywhere is playing music from 10am so there no where really to go to have some peace and quiet just to enjoy the nature. If you stay over night. I’d advise early rise and early bed. I was up at 6am to get a few hours of peace before the music started
• Marie-eve (1/5): Désagréable, manque de sommeil causé par le bruit le personnel n’intervenait pas - La musique était très forte jusqu’à 3;00 du matin, les gens criaient et frappaient aux porte la nuit de façon agressive assez pour nous empêcher de dormir et nous faire sentir inconfortable. Les deux nuits la même chose, De jour, il n y avait plus d’eau pour la douche ni la toilette ni le lavabo. Il manquait d’électricité la première journée de façon intermittente donc le ventilateur dans la chambre sans air climatisée ne fonctionnait pas la plus part du temps.
• Pérez (10/5): Fenomenal - La ubicación, el aseo , todo muy limpio
• Elias (4/5): Agridulce: Entorno bonito y gente agradable, pero no descuidar la atención. - Cosas positivas que recalcar era el ambiente natural en los alrededores: playa y mar muy bellos. Como dice nombre Eco-hotel, es para relajarse y y estar en sintonia con la naturaleza. Las piezas con balcon vista al mar, bien implementadas y bonitas. Pedimos mas sabanas y nos proporcionaron de inmediato. Los desayunos estuvieron bien también y los tragos también muy buenos. Si bien que estuvieran haciendo ampliaciones y trabajos, se consultó los horarios de los trabajos y no fueron claros en su respuesta, si hubieran mencionado rango horario de trabajos o mas ruidos, uno se adapta, pero fueron super informales e imprecisos. Ademas que en algun momento en los arreglos se vio afectada la escalera para subir a las piezas. Se nos comentó que aunque cocina cerraba a las 21hrs, el bar y la atención era 24 horas. A las 22:30 bajamos para pedir una botella de agua y estaba todo apagado y no habia nadie. Comentamos con la encargada y apeló a que debiamos haber avisado. Tuvimos que salir a la playa donde tampoco habian negocios abiertos para comprar agua para mi compañeras que necesitaba para tomar sus medicamentos. Si bien se comento al hacer el check-in, pero quizas es importante tambien destacar antes que el lugar geografico esta muy limitado con el acceso a señal de celular y de agua, era muy complejo ir al baño porque no siempre habia agua para tirar la cadena y las tazas de baño no estaban hechas para rellenar con agua de afuera y poder tirar la cadena porque la tapa estaba pegada a la apertura y al moverse quedaba abierta y no podia llenarse el tanque. Como hotel recibe durante el día también visitantes externos, habia que pedir con tiempo las comidas porque podian agotarse para la noche (lo que paso primer dia) Lo más negativo que lamentablemente eclipso las cosas positivas del lugar fue el Check-out. Comentamos el dia anterior que teniamos un vuelo programado, por lo que necesitabamos hacer el check-out a las 10 am, consideramos el periodo de 10 minutos en lancha al embarcadero, y un tiempo adicional, por lo que nuestro transporte lo pedimos a las 10:45. Encargado llego a hacer el Check-out pasado las 10:30, y la lancha llego a las 10:45, hora que debiamos estar en el estacionamiento para tomar nuestro vehiculo. Finalmente con todo el retraso tomamos el vehiculo 20 minutos tarde que tuvimos que pagar adicional.
• Valentina (6/5): Agradable - El estar durmiendo en el medio de la playa Las porciones de la comida y sus precios
• Julian (10/5): Excelente Estadía!! - La ubicación y el personal 👍🏻
• Nieves (6/5): - El balcón de la habitación y las vistas lo mejor. El alojamiento está al final de la playa y hay piedras grandes justo en frente. No es un lugar para pasar el día ya que solo tiene 8 hamacas en la puerta y sillas dentro pero todo a la sombra. Los demás están mucho mejor para pasar el día. Apenas hay agua dulce por lo que cuesta trabajo transportarla pero hace que la limpieza sea escasa. El colchón es como una cam de agua de blanda que te sientas y lo hundes. Y para colmo fui con mi bebé y volvió lleno de picaduras de pulga. Es para gente sin apenas equipaje y que no le importe mucho la limpieza y tengan una visión de la vida liviana y más “hippie” . Los precios de este establecimiento son más elevados que los que hay alrededor tanto para la comida como bebida.
• Sosa (7/5): - La vista, lo cómodo y la amabilidad Es un poco costoso la alimentación a comparación de otros de la zona
• ELIZABETH (10/5): - Lo más agradable es la tranquilidad del lugar, más alejado de los vendedores y ruidos, por eso se le llama al sector playa tranquila. La comida es deliciosa, Gabriela es un amor y cocina espectacular. Todos los chicos que trabajan ahí, fueron muy serviciales, atentos. La vista del balcón es hermosa, con lo necesario para descansar. El restaurante es muy variado y cómodo. El ambiente es muy bueno, tranquilo y te ayudan en lo que necesites.
• James (10/5): Paradise found! - I write this review having 25+ years in luxury hotel experience... Versatility is key! Let me share why; the staff loves, appreciates, values you and takes pride in what they do. This is next level beautified and simplified. Embrace the island lifestyle and some off the grid feeling moments. Waking up to the ocean outside our patio door, hearing the waves throughout the night, and seeing the stars above while dancing in the ocean has been priceless. As an observer I saw that they take care of their external (tour guests) and internal guests. I am perplexed by the reviews that talk so negatively as our experience was absolutely positive. When we arrived I planned ahead to surprise my wife for our milestone anniversary. Jennifer and team exceeded our expectations with how they decorated our room and we could tell they truly cared about making our experience top notch. It was Four Seasons level! Maria-Isabel friendly smile and Derian accommodating server hospitality was recognized. Osvaldo dedicates 110% to his job as he is the on-site host. Also, a great chef as we enjoyed the shrimp pasta, red snapper, and a light flare complimentary breakfast. He also helps keep this place tidy and clean. I mention versatility as things are out of their control as they rely on outside resources to bring in water, ice, and a generator to keep electricity flowing through the evening and likely more things we are not familiar with behind the scenes. We have travelled to other Caribbean beaches and we feel Baru surpasses them with beautiful water and amazing hospitality at the Tequila Sunset beach. Could have a small table in the room to set luggage on and a small soap holder in the shower. But that's it, this hotel is perfect!

• Lucila (1/5): EL PEOR HOSPEDAJE DE MI VIDA - NADA. NO RESERVEN. Es tan horrible todo que decidimos dejar la noche ya paga y reservar en otro lugar. Sin dudas el peor hospedaje no solo de la isla, sino de mi vida. NO RESERVEN. Es tan horrible el lugar que decidimos dejar la noche paga y reservar en otro lugar. Música a todo volumen las 24hs, su recepcionista no atendía reclamos. Mientras intentábamos dormir se salió un elástico de la cama (adjunto foto). El lugar es demasiado sucio y sus anfitriones muy malos. María nunca atendió a nuestros reclamos, no nos arreglaron la cama, tampoco bajaron el volumen de la música siendo que ya estaba dentro del horario de no ruido según el check in. EVITE TEQUILA SUN BEACH BARÚ
• Cecilia (8/5): -
• Andres (10/5): Increíble ❤️🌊🏝️ - Todo! Amamos la calidad de atención, la comida, muy cómodo y lindo el hotel. Relación precio-calidad es perfecto. Doña Aya, Gabriela, Maria, el chico que cuida en la noche, muy atentos, amables y divertidos. Volveremos sin duda💕❤️ (prueben las pataconas de doña aya 🤤🤤) Todo nos encantó.
• Ruben (9/5): - La ubicación privilegiada y la habitación con una hermosa vista al mar.
• Jeroen (7/5): - Service van het personeel Luxe van de kamers
• antonella (9/5): Staff gentilissimo di fronte a un mare splendido - Lo staff gentilissimo, la camera molto carina
• Jakob (6/5): - Lage, Balkon, Aussicht Matratze, Dusche, fehlende Belüftung
• Daniel (10/5): - Ubicado en la zona más tranquila de la playa, la proximidad al mar y el servicio del personal
• Juan Diego Zuluaga (10/5): Protección y cuidado ecosistema marítimo - La ubicación es perfecta, En playa tranquila una zona exclusiva alejada de los turistas. Es excelente la atención de las chicas y la señora de la cocina. Muy limpio y buena agua en el baño. Lo mejor es el descanso y silencio en las noches y las mañanas. La habitación es súper cómoda para una pareja y tiene un sofá donde puede hospedarse una tercera persona. Todas las habitaciones tienen balcón al mar. El hotel está en toda la playa. El sonido del mar te arrulla. Es importante saber que la isla de Baru es un lugar de protección ambiental por ello se debe ser responsable de un turismo ecológico que cuide y proteja los corales, el manglar el litoral. La comida en general en toda la isla es muy costosa y no tiene buena calidad. Deberían en toda la isla mejorar el servicio de alimentación. Los turistas dejan basura en la playa. Debemos viajar con más consciencia de la protección del ecosistema marítimo especialmente una zona de corales.
• Constanza (10/5): Excelente servicio - TODO! Absolutamente toda nuestra estancia en Tequila fue increíble desde sus instalaciones, la atención del personal destaco a María y James que estuvieron atentos todo el tiempo y la vista? Mágica. Como sugerencia para el desayuno quienes no toman café podrían tener otra alternativa como té de hierbas o chocolate con leche. Solo eso.
• Tommaso (10/5): -

• Sabine (8/5): Traumhafter Ausblick direkt am Strand - Die Mitarbeitenden sind super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen lecker und frisch zubereitet. Das Zimmer und die Aussicht sind traumhaft schön und die Lage am Ende des Strandes wundervoll. Man kann ein Kayak leihen und zu den Mangroven paddeln oder diverse Ausflüge buchen. Leider ist der Lärm tagsüber krass. Jetskis, Boote, Musik...ohne Noisecancelling Kopfhörer kaum zu ertragen. Von ca 17 Uhr- ca 10Uhr hört man nur noch das Wellenrauschen :) Die Toilettensituation ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, keine Spülung, man muss manuell mit einem Eimer spülen. Durch die offene Bauweise gibt es Insekten. Mehr vegane Alternativen auf der Speisekarte wären schön.
• Alexandra (9/5): It was great! - We really loved it here! The room was very nice! The best was Josue, who always looked after us. Even though we didn't speak Spanish, he made such an effort to communicate with us. When we had to leave at 6:00 a.m., he organized everything for us and even made us coffee at 6:00 a.m. and accompanied us back. He was truly great, and he made us feel completely welcome and comfortable!
• Guilette (5/5): Passable - I liked the location because it was super close to not having floating devices everywhere in the water which makes for bad pictures. Also they take care of you 24/7 which made me feel safe. The price range was waaaaaay to much. 300 cop per night? For a room that the toilet didn't flush....electric was very on and off. The owner kept being nosy asking if everything was "okay" and told my girlfriend I always look upset....which I was only upset because he wouldn't stop. We got breakfast in bed but every 15 minutes they knocked on the door to see if we were done with our dishes. Also...no wifi. Had to go next door which had great wifi...so bad excuse for not having any. The fan hardly worked...cost 10 mil for tiny beers where everywhere else on the beach had big beers for the same price. Seemed like they were constantly ripping us off at every chance they could. I definitely would not recommend this hotel. I paid far too much to stay in a rundown place that should only cost 100 cop a night. At MOST. I wish this beach would stop screwing over all the tourists. Bad business
• Nathalie (6/5): Yosue was amazing host and location is prime. Lots of room for improvement. - The location is awesome right by the beach and away from the big day crowds. The best thing is Yosue, the host of the place he is very attentive, super friendly and always with a big smile I didnt like the prices of food, drinks etc… This place is pricier than nicer nearby ecohotels. We have a few incidents with roaches we woke up to find a roach dead on the end of the bed :/ and they were roaches on the bathroom. We have to call a few times because the washroom wont go down
• Christopher (10/5): I enjoyed my stay here. The location was perfect. The staff was very attentive and hospitable. Josue and the front desk - The location was perfect, the beach was relaxing, and the staff was very attentive
• Camilo (10/5): Great - Review: An Unforgettable Stay at an Eco Hotel by the Ocean Staying at this eco hotel was an experience like no other. Waking up to the sound of the waves and stepping outside to breathtaking ocean views was truly surreal. The hotel seamlessly blends sustainability with comfort, offering an authentic and immersive stay that is perfect for those looking to connect with nature. One of the standout aspects of this trip was the staff. They go above and beyond to ensure that guests feel safe and well taken care of. They not only provide excellent service but also help protect visitors from persistent local vendors, allowing for a stress-free and enjoyable stay. Their hospitality, warmth, and attentiveness truly elevate the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that highlight the flavors of the region. The drinks were just as impressive, offering refreshing and well-crafted options perfect for sipping by the water. This trip is not for the faint of heart—it’s an eco hotel, so it embraces a more natural and sustainable approach to hospitality. But for those who appreciate adventure, stunning scenery, and genuine service, this place is nothing short of spectacular. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, oceanfront getaway. Everything fine, use their guides and their transport.
• Carrillo (10/5): Exceptional - The location is great! The staff is wonderful! The space is great, you really get to enjoy the beautiful beach!
• Monika (5/5): Passable - The only good things about staying there is the seaview. The staff is nice and helpful too. I usually don't put negative comments and try not to moan but we were so disappointed in this place I thought I had to warn others. We knew it'd be basic but this place was less than that... The room was OK if you don't count for old and very uncomfortable matters, but the bathroom was dirty, towels stained, toilet didn't flush and it was basically next to the bed. There was a very loud music coming from next door from 8am to 10pm, all time. In the evening and early morning they burn rubbish so you can't breathe fresh air. During the day it smells of petrol from the boats coming and going all the time. The food was very basic, not very tasty but super overpriced as everything else there. Baru is a beautiful place with amazing sea water but it is horribly commercialised, loud and overcrowded. There are sellers everywhere and they won't stop nagging you. We bought 3 trips from the hotel - night plankton which was OK, diving, which was horribly unprofessional, chaotic and unprepared (not enough gas for 40mins dive) with wrong and not working equipment, and a 4 islands trip which was overpriced ($100mil pp) and run in Spanish (we don't speak Spanish and they knew it). The worst point was when we landed on a party island for an hour where they tried to rip us off even more with super overpriced food and drinks. We feel we totally wasted our two days of Colombia trip by going there.
• Torres (10/5): A quiet place to relax and enjoy time with friends/family - Great location, sea views that allow you to enjoy the sunset. Staff very kind and ready to help. The food was delicious with a reasonable priced
• Pilar (10/5): Sol y playa - Mar
• Taisia (5/5): It was not for us and we didn’t have all the information - I have to give this review because people need to know some things before booking this place or any other place on Isla Baru because information is lacking on Booking. For the good sides, I would say the view from sea view rooms and the fact that you are directly on the beach. First my, the hostel is actually a wooden hut. You can see between the wooden racks and all the insects can enter inside. Secondly, access to this property can be made by boat which comes at an additional cost - we didn’t know anything about this until we arrived there. Booking a transfer from the airport from the property will cost around double the price you can get elsewhere. If you pay by card, there is a 10% extra fee. If you pay in euro or dollars, the exchange rate is really low. Better to have in local currency to avoid disappointment. Food is very expensive at the property, at least double, if not triple from what you pay in Cartagena at a good restaurant. Water and electricity is limited, but that is acceptable on an island. It would have been nice to know this in advance though, not when we got there. The room was clean, I verified the sheets and pillows, but unfortunately the island is not very clean itself. You will see rats & big cockroaches on the back of the beach/hostels. This is where all the garbage goes. We had 2 very big cockroaches in the room and bathroom which honestly made me lost all the sleep. We decided to leave in the morning (because there was no opportunity in the middle of the night) and we didn’t get any money back. Practically, for two nights stay(only one for us) + 1 meal and the boat transfer (which we knew nothing about) + card fee , we ended up paying 400 dollars which believe me is a looot for what you get.
• Stefan (8/5): Highly recommended! - Our staying at Tequila sunbeach was an exceptional experience. From even before we arrived Jennifer helped us to get in touch with a trusted taxi driver who took us to Playa Blanca Once we arrived Jennifer, Diana and the rest of the staff was really helpful, kind and friendly. The staff, together with the beautiful experience with nature made our stay unforgettable. Tip: ask the staff in advance to help you to get to the hotel, arriving playa blanca is an experience itself and if you don’t know where to go it can be overwhelming. Tip: if you’re a light sleeper, take some earplugs ;) -
• Dianne (4/5): Over priced for what it actually is - Location was fantastic The room constantly had a toilet smell, especially by the bed (not what you want to go to sleep with). I got food poisoning from their prawn cocktail. The whole thing was over priced and I was over charged at the end of my stay.
• Lia (10/5): Exceptional - Very lovely and helpful staff. They made us feel like at home and did everything that we feel us comfortable! Highly recomend this place.
• Neele (3/5): More like a Camp no hotel - -Wrong adress in booking.vom -No Wlan -Smelled like gasoline -We tryed to lower the volume of music a couple times but staff loudered it again After a short time -During night a generator was extremely loud below us to generate energy for Ventilator, very bad sleep -unpossible to close the door in the toilets completely
