"From the moment we arrived, everything about Sofitel Barú was perfection. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — warm smiles, genuine hospitality, and attention to every little detail. The property itself is absolutely stunning, surrounded by water and tropical gardens that make you feel like you’re in paradise. Our room was spacious and offered breathtaking ocean views. The food was another highlight — every meal, from breakfast to dinner, was exceptional, with fresh ingredients and creative flavors that showcased the best of Colombian and international cuisine. Sofitel Barú is more than just a hotel; it’s a full luxury experience that captures the essence of Cartagena’s charm and the natural beauty of Barú Island. Can’t wait to return — truly one of the best resorts we’ve ever stayed at!"

"I had an amazing stay at the Intercontinental in Cartagena. The staff was great and always attentive. The room with an ocean view was absolutely stunning—waking up to that view was unforgettable. The food at the hotel is really good, with plenty of delicious options. A special thanks to Jesús, who works at the restaurant/bar—such a friendly and welcoming guy who made the experience even better. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Cartagena!"

"What was unique about this property it was that you had to transport from the city to the island on a small boat that was very unique. And the surrounding. I love the staff they were great always attentive and nice I would definitely go back again."

"If you're visiting from far away like the United States or on a special trip, I'd recommend staying at the Blue Apple Beach Club instead. You don't want to cheap on the little stuff on a vacation. The room was advertisied as having Wifi, and it did not have Wifi or cell signal. Youll have to walk by the pool area to make calls. Also the bathroom has black mold around the sink, and the shower water temperature doesn't get warm or hot. Those basic comforts make a big difference on a vacation, so I wouldn't recommend if you're on a nice family vacation. They charge for water bottles and the water isnt drinkable. The food options are more limited. After you've sprung for all the other travel arrangements to get here, just get a nicer hotel. If you're from nearby and could return whenever, the staff are kind and the island is beautiful. "

"Great Location, Great service, great beaches and very affordable!!"
