This is such a wonderful hotel with amazing welcoming and helpful staff and wonderful food. It is such a stunning part of the world and Sabai absolutely showcases the splendors of the beach and jungle. Everything we needed we got, including a trip to the National Aviary which was magnificent. Everyone at Sabai was fantastic, helpful, bright and warm, and the property was just beautiful. The food was especially excellent.

Location directly on the beach and all rooms with amazing sea view. The sea had perfect azure color. Breakfast was good and served on time.

Wow this location is AMAZING. Truly it was a private beach all to ourselves… only one other couple there on our first night. The property only has 4 rooms total so you’re never going to have a bunch of people there. The staff were SO accommodating and patient with our lack of ability to speak Spanish. We only speak English, staff only spoke English but they always used translation making it very easy to communicate! I saw other reviews complaining about the food being overpriced and no hot water for the shower which seems silly to me after now experiencing how remote this place is! It was my toddlers first travel experience, and I was SO happy with the comfort Carey House offered. Is it a luxury hotel, no. But does it have everything you need on a remote beach location with PERFECT Carribean swimming and the best staff ever? Yes. We will be coming back!

I love how close the place is to nature, beach is amazing , the rustic cabanas are beautiful .The only thing I didn’t like it were the locals trying to sell their products in a way that can be annoying.

The only way to get from the arrival area to your hotel is to walk along the beach with your luggage or by boat. When the seas are ruff and there are no boats you must carry your luggage through the sand and water. Depending where your hotel is, that could be a mile. There is one tiny bodega on the beach to buy soda and beer and not much else. It’s best for a short stay.

Horrible place, instead of the sea breeze you'll enjoy exhaust from the dozens of motorboats and scooters cruising everywhere without any rules. They make a horrible noise all over the day, combined with loud music from each bar it caused a headache. Food and drinks are extremely expensive, we got poisoned by some food there being sick for 3 days.
Trash is everywhere behind the beach line.

Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful.
Before 11 am and after 5 pm, it is beautiful. Between those hours, however, there are an overwhelming number of visitors and vendors. The water is full of so many people offering rides on jetskis, banana boats, tour boats, etc, that rather than smell the ocean air you smell gas. If you want peace and quiet you need to trek about 2 kms to the peaceful section of Playa Blanca.

Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Baru was a big surprise for us in all the right ways.
Family of 3 with a 10 year old, stayed 6 days, 2 different hotels.
Beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise colored waters and fresh sea food ( learn your prices and always check before accepting anything).
The family time spent there is unforgettable. The people are kind and respectful. The island is safe and after 4pm starts to calm down and at 7-8 pm it's quiet and peaceful.
Most people spent a day and leave, but i recommend you stay and do the activities. We did snorkeling and raccon as well as the Plancton (DO NOT MISS IT! ).

Nena beach resort AC, pool and beach beds.
Everything about this place exceeded our expectation. The accomodation is a new build so everything is clean and works well, good A/C in the rooms. The staff were great at answering any questions and helping out with trips and arriving at the hotel.
We did the snorkelling tour and really enjoyed seeing crystal clear waters.
Arriving at the location from Cartagena was a bit confusing but Camilo helped us arrange it.
Bear in mind there is limited water on the island so worth bringing some with you for the first day or so.
Amazing Staff and rustic/minimalist atmosphere. From all the places, hotels and hostels this is for sure one of the best places to stay in Baru. Luis (the owner) and all the staff was really attentive and cared about all requests. Good food and breakfast. Lovely dinners by the sea...
The place is extremely rustic, romantic and cute all built in wood structure.
Missing some commodities but that's the spirit in wild Baru ;)
Good white sandy beach, local food and blue sea!
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. The staff helped us make accomodating for a boat taxi and for a taxi back to Cartagena. If you're looking to stay on the Island of Baru, I recommend this place.
Great hotel to disconnect, relax and just enjoy the see.
The staff is the best value of the hotel, always ready to help, and to solve any inconvenience. Specially, María Lena and Luis in the reception, William in the dining room, the guy who help with the luggage, and other ones I don't remember the name.
The food is very good, fresh products and enough variety.
I was with my family, 8 person's, but it is also good for couples. You have enough private atmosphere.
The hotel is in an amazing location, literally right on the beach. The staff were really helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. My partner had our birthday during our stay and the staff helped make it one to remember by setting us a great table up with balloons which we were very grateful for.
The staff also helped with transport to the bird sanctuary nearby (make sure to ask as it's not safe to walk to) and also helped with transport to Cartagena.
The hotel is right on a white sand beach, and all rooms have stunning ocean views. It has all the amenities we need. Though we only used our room for a day trip, we enjoyed every bit of a few hours there. One of the owner/managers arranged the transportation to go back to our Cartagena airbnb, to the extent he walked with us in the night to the cab parked some distance away. We very much appreciated it!
This hotel is by far one of the best on the seafront in Barú. We walked the whole beach, saw all the accommodation and tried different bars and restaurants. We always kept going back to Playa Surf for the great drinks, food and service.
The rooms are super comfortable and clean and the staff are helpful and friendly which adds the cherry to the top of an already good cake.
Rafael and Sol we’re just wonderful. Tjhe proximity to the beach and ocean were great. The staff was so helpful. They helped us arrange transportation from the airport, including a van and taxi boat, as well as boat transportation the next day to enjoy the islands and go to our next hotel destination. So nice!
The best experience in Cartagena than visiting Baru but above all this place is really cozy clean and there is nothing else to talk about its delicious food. Great job for the 2 brothers hosting this great place. It's a great service that smiles woow, definitely, I will come back
The hotel is amazing. You are away from all the overrun party locations on Barú and have a beach to yourself. A boat will pick you up to take you to Rosario Island or the reef. It is very secluded, the beach and the service as well as the restaurant are excellent.
Great location on the beach. The bungalow is really nice with the ocean view from the balcony. You can easily get tours to the other islands or just stay in playa Blanca. You never have to leave the hotel if you don’t want to. The staff are very nice and helpful.
The perfect place for getting disconnected and having a relaxing time. The beach is only for the people in the hotel, with no vendors around. Very spacious and comfortable room with good taste in decoration, the required amenities.
The property was large but provided cats with driver for easy and fast transportation around the property. The food was great and the restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. I enjoyed being able to eat right on the water.
We loved hanging out on the beach and having access to the many activities - snorkling, paddle boarding, volleyball. The staff was helpful and friendly. The restaurant was a great introduction to Colombian food - delicious!
I love the most the wonderful setting where the hotel is located: the mangroves by the beach, the tropical trees surrounding the property! The hotel is warm and very nicely decorated with functional features
Everything! The food was delicious, the hospitality was great. The hotel is in an secluded area and you have a private beach. You are surrounded by nature, making it a serene and peaceful, unwinding stay.
A bit over rated
And over priced we got food poisoning in a hotel that you can’t not go out and eat other food. This things should not happen on a hotel
